Alberta Ferretti's gowns and cocktail dresses are a red-carpet favorite because of her romantic and lavish designs.  She uses chiffon, draped geogette, charmeuse and satin to create feminine designs that twist, tuck and drape.  Ferretti mainly focuses on the cocktail crowd, luring them in with her subtle layered looks. Her dresses are a favorite among fashion icons such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez.  See her sophisticated collection of dresses and separates at Gilt.

I love vintage, whether it's clothing or accessories and Chanel is no exception.  Chanel vintage sales are always my top pick.  You can find great pieces for reasonable prices, especially at Billion Dollar Babes.  

There are more fantastic vintage finds from Decadestwo (which isn't a big surprise).  I don't  know what they are but I do know they'll be amazing quality handbags.  Push aside your old bags for some new goods from Hautelook.

WEDNESDAY, 8.25

Finally, Vince has jumped on the sample sale bandwagon!  The styles are simple and sophisticated which makes each piece versatile and functional.  Stop by the Hautelook sale and pick up an iconic well-made cashmere piece.

THURSDAY, 8.26

In need of some colorful shoes to prep for the upcoming all?  Your black and gray wardrobe will need a pop of color for those blah days.  Brighten up your mood with these pumps, colorful kicks and chic flats from Superga, Matt Bernson and Kathryn Amberleigh featured at Gilt.

FRIDAY, 8.27

Having trouble sleeping?  The W Hotel has one of the best beds in the world, which can help cure your problems.  Their mattresses are oh-so comfy without being too soft or too hard.  They're just perfecto.  Head to the Rue La La sale to choose from plush or pillow top mattresses, fluffy blankets and goosedown pillows.  This is yet another sale that I go bananas for.

SATURDAY, 8.28

Cynthia Vincent named her line after the street where she grew up on, hence the name 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent.  The brand is globally inspired with a California coolness that flatters instead of flaunts.  Check out her sandals and flats at Gilt.

Sea's stylish line is worn by many celebrities such as Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Amanda Seyfried.  Designed by Monica Paolini and Sean Monahan, this quirky and playful brand is probably influenced from when Paolini worked for Jill Stuart and Betsey Johnson.  Stop by to see the pieces Gilt has to offer.
