Do you need to start your holiday shopping early? This weekend, Gilt, is having their sample sale in San Francisco. That means designer clothing, accessories, shoes, jewelry, bedding, kitchen and bath accessories and so much more! Last year I scored some amazing Red Valentino shoes and an amazing fall bag! There are different times on Saturday and Sunday, so you can choose whatever day and time works best with your weekend schedule. You can buy tickets for the event HERE!
Below are some tips/tricks for shopping that sale that may be helpful:
- Arrive early: Just as you would for any sample sale, arrive early! No matter what session you come to, be sure to get there with ample time. This ensures a full shopping experience, and it’s best to view the merchandise when it’s most organized.
- Reduce your drag: Come prepared to shop – we require coat check and large bag check, so bring a small purse or wallet that you can keep your credit cards and ID in. A small wallet or cross-body bag will leave your hands free to peruse the racks, or sip a cocktail! Also – if you dress in light layers, it will also allow you to try clothes on easily, and you may even decide to not wait for a fitting room!
- Think Ahead: Don’t be afraid to shop for future seasons. You’ll find that there are not-to-be-missed deals for every occasion. It’s a great chance to score designer ski-ware or that perfect glam dress for the holiday season.
- Have an open mind – The most exciting part of the Warehouse Sale is the element of surprise! While you may have certain items in mind that you’re really focused on purchasing, take your time, look through the racks and filter through the shoes and accessories with an open mind. This is usually the time when the magic happens and you’ll find yourself going home with some great steals that you might otherwise not have found!
- And Remember – Plastic! No cash, so bring your debit or credit cards!
Happy shopping!
