Gant by Michael Bastian

The most under appreciated job in the world doesn’t deserve a day it deserves an entire month.  But until that bill is passed, we’ll have to settle for one day to shower our loving mother’s with love and appreciation for, well, putting up with us all of these years. They are among the only human’s on earth that love us unconditionally, no matter what, so make sure you never forget that. So, where are you taking your dashing diva of a mother for brunch on Sunday? If you’ve yet to settle on a plan, why not wow her with a Mother’s Day Brunch at 2West Restaurant in Ritz-Carlton Battery Park where $85 a person will not only land you glitz and glam, it will also serve you lavish desserts and top notch cuisine. After you’re done pampering the leading lady in your life, prepare to indulge yourself in the finer things in life as you shop sales from Christian Louboutin, GANT, The Limited, The News, and Theory.

SAMPLE SALE ALERT: ORANGE

Christian Louboutin Invite-Only Sample Sale

If you’re among the fabulous lucky shoppers out there, then you have already scored your invitation to the Christian Louboutin Sample Sale. For the rest of us, put on your thinking caps in order to determine your way “in” to the Christian Louboutin bi-annual Sample Sale where heels are marked for as low as $200. C’mon, it’s New York, everyone knows everyone – who can get you in? If you have come out with no ideas, then give waiting in line a whirl – rumor is security decreases over time during the sale.

Theory Throwdown

This week not only brings us one Theory Sample Sale, but two. That’s right, a double dose of sleek and sexy blazers and cute prep ware. Tuesday kicks off the throw down with Theory & Theyskens’ Theory Sample Sale at the Chelsea Market. Past years’ sales graced us with $69 shorts, $89 skirts and leather for only $249. If that’s not enough for you, swing on over to Clothingline’s Theory Sample Sale come Wednesday for discounted stock merchandise. During the tail end November’s Theory Sample Sale, an additional 30% was taken off price tags.

GANT Sample Sale

If you want to drip with style, then head to the GANT Sample Sale to stock up on clothing and accessories for 80% off retail prices. Expect to find $50 sweaters and cotton blazers for $195. Past sales have featured Gant, Gant Rugger and Gant by Michael Bastian.

The News Sample Sale

The funky News Sample Sale is back beginning Thursday at 495 Broadway. This sale always features steals and deals for the downtown fashionista. Check out the 5^th floor for rock bottom prices on Anniel shoes (a perfect summer bootie), a slew of Cheap Monday jeans (did I mention cheap?), Clu and Highland.

The Limited Sample Sale

The Limited may just be your average, run of the mill suburban mall staple, but let’s not forget that during their Sample Sale on Thursday, items are priced at $5 a piece. That’s just twenty quarters for your next favorite blouse and stylish bottoms. There’s literally no going wrong here, even if you only where your purchase once. This sale is cash only, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Do you think they accept quarters?

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Gant, the elegant combination of European sensibilities and American style, is holding a sample sale at 260 Fifth Avenue in New York at a perfect time for fall. If you’ve wanted to own that stylish leather jacket or an incredible pair of leather boots without spending the entirety of your next 6 months’ paycheck, look no further. The Gant sample sale features discounts as steep as 80%. At times, it feels like the price tags are stolen from JC Penney but then you look around to see a crowd that is extremely well versed with the fashion world and you know you are staring down a global brand whose products anyone should be proud to own.

One interesting aspect of this particular sample sale that sets it apart from the crowd is the selection of menswear and accessories for men. If you thought men’s fashion is limited in its scope, you’ve certainly not visited this Gant by Michael Bastian sample sale yet! That doesn’t mean there was nothing for the ladies – there was a great selection of womenswear and some cool accessories as well. With fall fast approaching, this is a great sample sale to shop at.

Some of the highlights of this sale are a good selection of accessories along with items of clothing, so you can practically create your fall wardrobe on this single sale.

Expect some crowds here. If a sale says you can only take 5 items to the dressing room and spend not more than 5 minutes there, they mean business.

The discounts are steepest for men’s jackets and blazers. I saw a pretty brown blazer selling for $175 with an original price of $1500. Very few items had the original price displayed on them, so it was hard to know the discounts, but almost every item of clothing was at least a 50% discount from its original price. Regular men’s blazers were selling for $175 and women’s blazers for $150. There was a nice collection of quilted vests, all selling for $75.

There was also a very good selection of sweaters. The cotton contrast shawlcollar white sweater was selling for $50, marked down from an original price of $165. A pretty lambswool barstripe crew sweater stood out as well. The MB fleece bolero blazer was a highlight in the blazer section in which most products were stylish and elegant.

The pants were all selling for $50, with the original price as high as $200 on many of those. The jeans were perfect for the fall weather.

The women’s section wasn’t loaded with a lot of variety but the selection was good. Wool sweaters were selling for $50. There were some pretty short sleeve polos for casual wear selling for $25 and some cute tank tops for $20. More elegant silk dresses were priced at $75.

There were a few products in the children’s section as well, with children’s tops selling for $20 and children’s bottoms selling for $15.

The accessories section was loaded with goodies, from a small selection of shoes and boots to a vast collection of ties and belts, all reasonably priced. Large leather bags were for $125 while the smaller ones were priced at $75. Small accessories like keychains and badge holders were all for a flat $15 price
