"And the last shall come first" was all I could think when, in the last three hours on the last day of Lucky Shops, vendors started slashing prices like crazy. One vendor gave away 5-inch, wood-platform, pointy-toed, Balenciaga sandals for $25 (some unlucky shoppers got 'em at retail for $800 more). See by Chloe basically donated their clothes at four items for $50 while the Marc Jacobs booth hawked jackets, and tops at a buy-one-get-two deal.

Check out the tornado that hit the Kooba booth when they announced their additional markdown.

I couldn't go to the Botkier booth when it was announced that they had slashed the tags on their bags to the cost price. I do not need to know how much less I could've paid if I'd waited one day to buy my red bag. I guess I'll find out when it goes online.

I got an amazing Kooba belt that retailed for $200. I picked it up for $40! Just an amazing sale!

okay, i had an amazing time at the lucky shops event this past weekend!! this event, had just enough merchandise to dazzle the most convicted of shoppers, but was still intimate enough to not overwhelm her...

one pair of silver ballet slippers (michael kors), two tops and a pair of wedges (compliments of charlotte ronson), one "embellished" silk dress (plenty by tracy reese), AND one skirt w/faux belt, one apron-like dress and two gorgeous tops (see by chloe) later, this "lucky" lady was walking out with two full bags of designer must haves and a final purchase receipt to the fine tune of...ah, that's not important, but do know that it's a microscopic fraction of the actual cost!

i look forward to next year's event!

xo.
