NYC Sample Sales: L*Space Swimwear !

Another Sample Sale in NYC! This seems to be the week for sample sales. There are so many I keep hearing about right now! Strange as it might be, bathing suits are actually my favorite thing to buy. Although it is the middle of winter and I will not be wearing these any time soon, I love buying new bikinis so I was very happy to find this sale! The showroom hosting the sample sale informed me that L*Space usually has a sample sale 2-3 times a year! I’ll be sure to share when I know about future ones! (I apologize for picture quality, horrible lighting and lots of editing for instagram!)
 
 
L*Space Audrey Halter Top Citrine (Original $73) – top left
 
L*Space Monique Bitsy Bottom in Pistachio (Original $66) – bottom left
 
PilyQ Blue Bell Tie Side String Bikini Bottom (Original $60) – bottom right
 
Altogether, I spent $93 on 3 bikini separates! The sample sale had all bottoms for $29 and tops for $33. It was a very good deal for these brands! I have been wanting to get an L*Space bikini forever, so the sample sale was the perfect excuse to buy one! L*Space is definitely one of my favorite swimwear designers. They always seem to be ahead of the trends. In my opinion, they were the ones that made the fringe style everyone loves so popular! L*Space is also a brand favorite of many celebrities! Other than the trendy cuts and vibrant colors, what I really love about their bikinis is that most of them our double-lined, making them SUPER comfy!
 
The last bottom I picked up, wasn’t L*Space, but a European line called PilyQ Swimwear. I had heard of the brand before but did not know that much about them. I loved these bottoms though and was happy to find a new brand I liked!
 
Because these are all 2013 styles, availability is pretty limited and most do not have any styles left still online! Therefore, I did not post any links this time, but if you google the Style Name of any of the ones I listed above you may get lucky and find your size! Bloomingdales has a similar cut of the same print for the PilyQ swimwear bottoms I picked up!

NYC Sample Sales: Vanessa Mooney !

So, recently I have discovered I have a new found obsession with sample sales! Vanessa Mooney is a really cool designer based out of LA. I became familiar with the brand while interning at Bohemian (local boutique to my college campus, University of South Carolina). We sold a lot of Vanessa Mooney pieces at Bohemian and I absolutely loved them all! Each piece is very unique and her line has a very bohemian feel to it. It can be a bit pricey, which is why I was super excited to hear they were having a sample sale in the city! And even better, just two blocks from my office!

2. Miri Bracelet by Vanessa Mooney (Original $35)

Altogether, I got both bracelets for $30 (no tax) and saved $85! I was pretty impressed with myself. I definitely would have bought more, but they only took cash and I only had $30 on me! The sale ends today so I wanted to make sure I posted this right away in case any of you are in the city today and want to stop by! They had a lot of super cute earrings for just $5! Make sure to bring cash! The information was all posted on their instagram: @vanessamooney but I have also listed the address below!
