0 We made it. It’s Friday! And next week, whether you observe Passover or Easter, you’ll be celebrating something. Let’s quickly go over the things I’ll be keeping an eye on these next couple of days.
Starting Friday, March 22nd at 12PM:
Derek Lam & 10 Crosby at Gilt.com
Why?
OK, so he might not be my favorite designer, but everybody else adores him, so I will most certainly check out this sale. I love his idea of modern interpretation of classic silhouettes, so hopefully I’ll find that piece that will make me see what Anna and Michelle see in him. I love discovering new designers at discounted prices. I feel it reduces my anxiety knowing that at least I paid less. Note: always check if that particular item is returnable, as not all items on a particular flash site have the same return policy.
Starting Sunday, March 24th at 8PM:
Sunday Night STYLEATHON at RueLaLa.com
Why?
Because honestly, that’s where the real bargains are. It is also the element of surprise, as you never know what you’ll find. It’s the real “Bargain Games,” shall we say, darlings. Plus, after a long weekend, a little adrenaline rush gets us pumped and ready for the Monday morning commute.
Starting Monday, March 25th at 11AM:
Givenchy handbags at RueLaLa.com
Why?
You know my theory: invest in IT handbags because they last forever.
I don’t know if you are a Givenchy girl, but if Nightingale, Pandora or Lucrezia satchels are your style, you might want to add this sale to your calendar. However, before you invest in one of these handbags (or anything else for that matter) take a look at your lifestyle and wardrobe first. Make sure the item is what you need, not what you want.
Why?
If you happen to be a corporate girl — and a fan of Nicole Miller but cannot make it to their March 26th New York Sample Sale — this is your chance to score some print tops for work or halter dresses for business dinners. For me, it will also be an opportunity to test prices for flash sales/New York sample sales, as holding both at the same time has become a trend.
Have fun this weekend. Don’t hate me; I’ll be in CT at our country home for a long weekend.

0 Today is Tuesday, and I personally have this theory that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best days for scoring a great deal.
I will try to prove my theory, though I have experienced decreased satisfaction with sales in recent weeks. The decrease makes sense, considering how many flash sales sites have mushroomed in recent years, and how stores now hold their own flash sales. There is only that much inventory left for discounts, after all.
Let’s see what we have today:
Starting at 11AM:
TUMI Luggage, Outwear, & Travel Accessories on RueLaLa.com
Why?
My husband has an obsession with Tumi. He has a Tumi bag, money clip, belt and coat. I have a beautiful handbag, as well, but they don’t make the style anymore. I can vouch for Tumi’s quality and I personally like their style. If you like to travel in style, their luggage is worth every penny.
BedHead Pajamas on RueLaLa.com
Why?
OK, maybe this one comes as a surprise to you, but hear me out. We spend a third of our lives sleeping and, quite frankly, many of us don’t pay enough attention to how we look when we go to bed. Yes, we do when we start dating someone, but 10 years into the marriage… Hmm — I’m guilty as charged.
Starting at 12PM:
Noir: Cushnie et Ochs on Gilt.com
Why?
If you are not familiar with Cushnie et Ochs’ “empowered, bad-ass sex appeal” — as Fashionista.com called it while reviewing their 2013 fall collection — you should take a look at this sale.
Ongoing:
Oscar de la Renta for THE OUTNET
Why?
If you haven’t checked out the exclusive collection, you must before it’s completely sold out.
