Calypso Sample Sale = $250 skirt for $9

Today is the last day to check out the Calypso sample sale! I is awesome and worth it if you have an hour to spare. Same place as the DVF sample sale was,
5th ave between 28th and 29th.

No joke, I got this 100% silk skirt for $9.00. UNBELIEVABLE! Savvy shopping at its prime!!! The original tag (if you can see it!) says $250. Loveeee it!! No its not used, or torn, or stained, that is just how well you can do if you know how to shop at sales.

Discount Theater Tickets Anyone? (Tony awards 6/13/10)

I'm a theater enthusiast, in case you were unaware. I try to see as many shows as possible! A few years ago I discovered theatermania.com. If you want to avoid waiting in line at a TKTS booth, theatermania is a great way to do it! If you join the website (for free, obvs), you will have access to some awesome theater deals. You wont be stuck in the nosebleed section either, the seats are usually great.

This weeks deals include: Next to Normal $36-$81, South Pacific $55-$90, Phantom of the Opera $26-$81, Le Cage, $55-82, Promises, Promises $72.50 and many many more.

Go to theater!

Here are the details:

Location: 5th avenue between 28th and 29th. (a little too convenient for me)!

See ya there ;)

Why I love "shopittome"

I really like the daily "shopittome" alerts that I get. You should check it out. You pick your favorite designers and it goes through many of the department store and online shopping websites to let you know when items go on sale. Sooo basically it's like an online personal sale shopper. LOVE IT! Today they had some adorable DVF jelly gladiators for $50..I might just have to have them!

GO TO: www.shopittome.com to get started. I'd be happy to refer you too!

Savvy Shoppers take on Orlando's PRIME OUTLETS!

Don't be mistaken, my talented bargain finding skills reach far beyond the island of Manhattan. Actually, my learned skills started in my hometown (Greensboro, NC) and just followed me into NY. Regardless, I have to share my joy over my discovery of Orlando's "Prime Outlets!"

After a vigorous day of poolside tanning over Memorial Day with my friend Amanda, the afternoon got cloudy so we asked the concierge what we could do instead. She suggested either the Prime OR Premium Outlets. Both looked amazing, but we hit "Prime" only because it was more convenient to our hotel. So our token driver for the trip, Norberto (pimping a Black Denali nonetheless), dropped us off in front of the shopping center and boy did we hit the jackpot!

Check out the site yourself for the store listings: www.primeoutlets.com/locations/orlando
