This weekend, take some time out of your Saturday in order to do a bit of spring cleaning. If you’re successfully able to part ways with old designs and ill-fitting jeans, then you’ll realize that there’s nothing quite like a slight looking closet, ready for some cheery additions. In order to pack those racks right back up to capacity, after Easter this Sunday, hop on over to some sales from Rent the Runway, Bettye Muller and Linda Richards, and The Wrights Collection as we, quite literally, gear up to break out the warm weather clothing and prepare for weekend trips and beach vacations.

Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival

Easter and New York City meet for a perfect blend of colorful quirk thanks to the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival on Sunday. From 10AM until 4PM New Yorkers get a dose of originality as mad hatters sport their favorite bonnets and march the parade route along Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Street. To make it even better, many paraders allow their costumed pets to tag along with them.

Rent the Runway Sample Sale

Come Monday you can Rent the Runway during their sample sale at 260 Fifth Avenue. Rent the Runway, the popular online destination for those seeking a one-night-only designer dress, is now offering up their merchandise for keeps during their week-long sale. Last year, by day two of the sale pickings were slim. As we reported, considering these dresses have been worn multiple times, we were disappointed to find so many mascara stains, deodorant marks, and pulls on the designer goods.

Bettye Muller and Linda Richards Sample Sale

Although usually paired with brands Butter and Something Bleu, this time around Bettye Muller teams up with Linda Richards for a Sample Sale on their shoes and accessories. Prices are always remarkably low at these sales at 38^th street, and shoes will by marked for $50 and under this time around. Sandals, skimmers, and flats will be on hand for spring and summer stock up!

The Wrights Collection Sample Sale

Load up on basics, brights, and prints at The Wrights Sample Sale, taking place in the brand’s midtown showroom come Wednesday. Both The Wrights’ Resort and Spring Collections will be on sale for up to 75% off retail prices. From leather jackets to jersey knits, although not a widely known brand, this sale certainly looks promising. Last year, during The Wrights Collection Sample Sale, cute cropped jackets were spotted for $260, while jersey knits were $60 and leather jackets were $300. Also, be sure to not pass up a peak at their true samples on hand.

Etc., Etc.

Beginning Wednesday, Shoshanna is no longer just your favorite Girls character. At the Shoshanna Sample Sale, 75% off is taken of the retail price of the brand’s dresses, swimwear and separates. Also, if you’re in the market for a jewelry pick-me-up, don’t miss out on the Wanderluster Sample Sale where funky and fun jewelry will be sold for up to 60% off retail prices.

Happy Easter!

Spring is upon us! This week, we welcome the first full week of spring and relish in the fact that (hopefully) snow boots and bulky winter coats will be a thing of our past after Monday’s non-threatening snow shower. The sample sale slate remains slow this week, due to our celebratory spring holidays, including Passover, which begins on Monday, and Easter, which hops to us next Sunday the 31^st. As sample sale schedulers remain skeptic to attendance in a digital age, we’ll find a proper balance between the physical sample sale vs. the digital online flash sale by being attentive in knowing where the best deal occur and knowledgeable to the pro’s and con’s of the sale at hand. Of course, The Stylish City does all of this work for you, so you can stick with us and simply refer the site daily! This week, we ring in spring with fresh blooms, fresh makeovers from Laura Geller and fresh-looks from Nicole Miller.

Sample Sale Alert: Yellow

Saturday

Perform a last minute sale swoop on Saturday before heading over to Laura Gellar.  The Property Bi-Annual Sample Sale comes to a close on Saturday, where they are offering floor samples and furniture for up the 60% off, plus 20% off new orders. Here, you’ll find leather lounge chairs for $1,800 and glass tables for $4,200.  It is typically tradition that sales will slash prices even deeper during their final sale day, and if that’s not the case here, it won’t hurt to ask about available additional discounts! To stock up on winter clothing and fur coats for next year, check out the final days of Jennifer Tyler Winter Clearance Sample Sale for cashmere, jackets, and sweaters, and Sharnelle Furs Sample Sale for luxurious furs.

For the last stop of the day, revamp your make-up drawer with Laura Geller’s popular beauty products at the Laura Geller Semi-Annual Sample Sale. Geller, who is popular for her brightening powders, liquid neutralizers, and  her “Baked” line, is also the second best-selling make-up line on QVC. Come Saturday, her products will be on sale for up to 30% off, such as her eyebrow-defining markers for $17 and concealer-and-highlighter compact for $23.

Blooms and Beyond

Begin your Sunday fresh as a daisy in Herald Square thanks to Macy’s 39th Annual Flower Show, a two-week long celebration of flora displayed right in Broadway Plaza. This year, South Asia influences the blooms of the exhibit The Painted Garden, with a multicolored 10-foot-tall painted elephant seated that rests within. Events will be going on all week, so if you have a green thumb, or you simply appreciate the beauty of nature, be sure to check out macys.com/flowershow for the full line-up. On Sunday, a breadth of events takes place, including Live Music at Noon, Family Fun at 2PM, and High Tea at 3PM. If you’re not a flower fan, fashion fans can browse the visually stunning windows, which feature their own color scheme thanks to designer clothing, and floral and jewel-toned themes.

Nicole Miller Sample Sale

The Nicole Miller Sample Sale will be the talk of the town this week, and not just because it’s the only major sale taking place, well, maybe a little bit. Check in with us first thing Tuesday morning for a full review and photos from the sale, which promises to offer 80% off dresses of all kinds – evening, cocktail, day, and bridal – as well as accessories to pair with it. True samples will also be on hand at this event. Last month, Nicole Miller held an online sample sale, where all items were available for under $100, including her vibrant accessories, which topped out around $40. For those who can’t make this week’s Nicole Miller Sample Sale, check out the few remaining items from her online sale here.

Thanks to our spring holidays and Macy’s Flower Show I’d predict by the end of this week we’ll all be in a sunny state of mind!
