It was snatching and grabbing and pushing at the VIPs-only opening night of Lucky Shops as editors, models and celebs came out to score Prada, Dolce, Gucci, Marc Jacobs and other to-sigh-for brands at up to 70% off retail. Amidst the deal-snagging, waiters catwalked the hardwood floors of Manahattan's Metropolitan Pavilion, balancing platters of caviar on crackers baked into spoon-shapes, tiered trays of chicken samosas in miniature Chinese food boxes, sliders and fries, sake, and cocktails created especially for the occasion. 70 vendors were on the bill -- our booth was one of the hottest spots at the event.

Lured by our grease-markered signs announcing Hermes, Fendi and Dior, our booth was hit by the swarms almost instantly after the doors opened at 6 p.m.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Maria Menounos checked out our display of fur-lined slippers.

Hands down, the most lusted after item in our booth was this Fendi Spy Bag, but the fastest seller was a cognac-colored Balenciaga bag.

This psyched shopper scored this sweet satchel.

We think these Cesare Paciotti boots are a must too!

I don't know how many times we had to put the glasses back in their cases. Fashionistas can be so messy!

'90s Model, Manon von Gerkan breezed by our booth too.

If label hordes are so not your thing, shop the sale from your laptop (or crackberry!) exclusively on Bluefly.com.

Was that Fedora for sale?? By far the cutest item on the post.
