Raquel Allegra, LD Tuttle and UnEarthen Sample Sales

Los Angeles had some great sample sales this past Friday. While everyone and their sister was at the Splendid Warehouse sale I went off the beaten track and headed over to some of my favorite and "less mainstream" designers sales and totally scored.  

First stop, Raquel Allegra. Love her shredded tees, dresses and scarves. I went a little crazy as the prices were so amazing and you really can never have enough of her clothes.

Raquel was there in person and I was able to chat with her which was very cool. I have been buying her pieces for many years - back to the time when she was only sold in Maxfields. Years ago she made me a custom shredded tee and when it arrived she had sewn my name in the label inside - that's when I absolutely knew this designer is not only amazing but a class act. I have been lucky enough to attend two of her fashions shows over the years and I always come away totally inspired.

I also scored a pair of rad LD Tuttle boots and a necklace by another one of my fav jewelry designers - UnEarthen.

It was an amazing day.

The Holy Grail

Found the holy grail yesterday - The J Brand outlet in downtown Los Angeles. Its been there for awhile (how I did not know about this is beyond me!) and has tons of overstock in almost every style of J Brand you can imagine - at less than 1/2 of regular prices!

Here are some styles I saw  while I was there....

 The Suffragette Jean (lots of laces) - my absolute favorite!

Raygun Jean - motocross inspired panels on hips and a zip front - rad!

Sensory Overload

Is there really "too much of a good thing"? 

Usually I say NOT. Although today I had a bit of sensory overload when I hit up the ENZA COSTA sample sale and later in the day THE ROW sample sale.

I love and live in Enza Costa as I find the line to have all the slouchy amazing fabrics and cuts I love and because it's reminiscent of my fav line Rick Owens in many ways. So when I heard they were having a sample sale I made sure I was the first one there. What I didn't know is the prices would be so insanely good ($10-$23) that I would pick up 21 pieces! Yep - you read that right - everything from over sized tees,  dresses, cardigans, and tank tops - I got them all. 

I have no idea where to put them all - my closet now needs a major "edit"

The sale is still going on tomorrow - so check it out - but don't say I didn't warn you! 

The Row
