This weekend could very well be the most fun May will have to offer – and not in a bad way! However, if you’re a mother you may feel differently depending on what your loving family has in store for you next Sunday, but regardless, between rounds of Kentucky Derby parties on Saturday and a Cinco de Mayo Sunday Funday, you’ll be nursing a serious hangover come Monday. Just don’t choose to cure the headache with an egg McMuffin, fashionistas, because we want to make sure you can fit into the wonderful selection of samples that will be offered at this week’s round of sales. This week, don’t miss Furla, Jimmy Choo, Rebecca Minkoff, Jonathan Adler, Viktor & Rolf, Ali Ro, Judith Leiber and Bettye Muller. 

SAMPLE SALE ALERT: ORANGE

Furla Sample Sale

Let the designer shopping begin! Cinco de Mayo not only brings us an onset of tequila, but also a sample sale from Furla at midtown’s Clothingline. At the sale, expect to find everything from Furla’s clutches, totes and handbags to their wallets and small accessories. At past sales, shoppers purchased Furla’s gorgeous Italian handbags for around $395. While you’re browsing for Furla goods, check out the Ali Ro & Donna Morgan discounts that will also be offered during the sale.

Rebecca Minkoff Sample Sale

Rebecca kicks the workweek Mink-off with her annual sample sale where 75% will be discounted from ready-to-wear, handbags, footwear and accessories. Hop to 260 Fifth Ave anytime before Saturday to grab yourself a Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag for $250 and sequin tanks for $60. Last year, shoppers spotted dresses for as low as $95, trenches for $200 and Minkoff’s gorgeous morning after bag for $300.

Jimmy Choo Sample Sale

Choo choo! Here comes the Jimmy train. Needless to say, we’ll welcome the two-day Jimmy Choo Sample Sale with open arms and flock to browse deep discounts on shoes, handbags, clutches, and other accessories. Last year, Choo’s gorgeous designer shoes were $225 and, if you’re not picky, damaged shoes were $75. Take an early lunch on Tuesday, and make sure you’re among the first in line for their noon opening.

Jonathan Adler Furniture Warehouse Sale

Spring just screams redecorate, doesn’t it? And where better to start than the Jonathan Adler Furniture & Home Accessories Warehouse Sale? Starting Thursday, the home designer’s modern furnishings will be on display at the Jonathan Adler Warehouse in Bushwick. Expect to find his eye popping Whitaker Ottoman for $565 (down from $1,125) and his gorgeous and original Meurice Chandelier for $375 (from $750).

Weekly Wrap Up

Don’t think your shopping agenda stops here.

Between the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo, this weekend is the year’s best time for the wildest statement hats. So what will it be: a large brimmed white hat with a polka dot bow and a few feathers, or a multi-color sombrero? Both? Ok, I agree.

The shoes at the Butter, Bettye Muller & Something Bleu Stock and Sample Sale went as quickly as they came during a day full of wind and rain. The 7^th Avenue showroom seemingly held only crumbs of what remains of older stock items and samples. The room’s floor was decorated with tiny stacks of various boxes holding heels by Butter, Betty Muller and Something Bleu, and the back of the room displayed samples for a fraction of the would be retail price. One problem though, all samples were a Size 7, so if your little tootsies can’t squeeze into this size, you’re better off sticking with the slim pickings toward the front of the room and trying your luck with older stock items that will run you $100 a pair.

I’ll begin with lucky number seven (the winner of the day!) and work my way from there. The sample shoes (reminder again, these will all be in size 7 only) were in fair shape with minor scuffmarks and signs of wear on a few pairs but nevertheless, every heel was unique in their own respect. The Butter Red Shag ($60, pictured) caught my attention, as did the Butter Beige Patent Geo Wedges ($60, pictured), the cartoonish looking Butter Steads ($60, pictured) and Butter Sambuca with Green Bows ($60, pictured). If you’re planning a wedding this summer and are currently on the prowl for affordable and funky shoes (and wear a size 7), you may be in luck. A whole shelf was dedicated to Something Bleu’s original and great wedding shoes ($60, half are pictured). There were not many samples by Bettye Muller, but I did like the sleek look of her Lori Heels in Golden Yellow ($60).

Are you non-size 7’s  out there still with me? Good, because there were a few sizes left of the Betty Muller Beige Panamas ($100), Butter Ship in Gold ($100) and Something Bleu’s eye catching Carnation and Black Feather Heels ($100, pictured). There were many size 38, 39 and 40’s in the Bettye Muller section, namely in the styles Pitones in Gold ($100), Bronze Gruesas ($100), Charco Natelis ($100), and her multicolored Troupes ($100). The only size 41’s I saw in the sale were also by Betty Muller and were her Brown Leather Fieos Wedges ($100) and Katy Bis Bronze Wedges ($100).

So there you have it, a day of bliss for females who wear sample size 7 and a day of disappointment for everyone else. There are a few funky finds that may win you over, but going to the sale may be a risk, especially given how quickly the sale’s merchandise depleted.
