Sample Sale Highlights: July 25-28, 2010

I have mentioned on more than one occasion that I often start my morning by opening my internet browser and pulling up the following tabs (in no particular order): my personal e-mail, RemChic's e-mail, my Facebook, RemChic's Facebook, Hautelook, Gilt Groupe, Rue La La, Beyond the Rack, and ideeli. Yes folks, you heard right, somehow my sample sale site perusing has replaced even my morning fruit and tea on the routine list. Why? Because looking through sample sales is like starting the day with opening Christmas presents. YSL bags that were originally $2,995 on sale for $1,500. Oh, and that amazing camel colored knit cardigan by Michael Kors is somehow $25 from $150. Who needs caffeine when all the adrenaline you need is just a click away?

Anyways, I had a reader e-mail me asking for some more information on these sites, including information on their sales and invitation codes for the sales. All of these sites are by invitation-only and the sort of member-only society lends itself to a luxurious shopping experience without having to get dolled up to shove your fellow shoppers out of the way to score a good deal. Although don't get me wrong, it's on my bucket list to go to a New York warehouse sample sale. I just need to buff up a bit first.

I will be periodically posting what I call "Sample Sale Highlights" where I will showcase the most anticipated online sample sales, what time they will go live, and invitation codes for everyone to join! I'd love to hear about your amazing designer buys, so be sure and comment if you have any sample sale success stories!

Okay, so it only behooves you if I post the sales prior to when they go live, so make sure you mark your calendars if you are going to shop! Additionally, I won't be listing any sample sales from brands I'm not familiar with. There will probably be other sales in addition to the ones I've listed, but as the title says, these are highlights.
