Weekend Sample Sales and Deals
La Perla

LUCKY SHOPS
Our advice to today's shoppers: make a bee-line for Rachel Comey, Vena Cava, and the vintage section. In the vintage section especially, we spotted two girls who'd snapped up two Oscar de la Renta dresses for under $200, so there are incredible deals to be had there for those who have the patience to rummage while also being surrounded by booths packed with spectacular names. First Dibs Friday: Friday, 10AM-7PM ($35) Saturday Shop-a-Thon: Saturday, 10AM-5PM ($20)

J. CREW
Today's the last day for the J. Crew sample sale. On Tuesday, thecrowd -- which was actually pretty male-heavy -- arrived at the sale and most were a bit disappointed by the limited selection, though the prices are quite good. The shoes were handily wrapped in little plastic bags and included the label's signature Marjorie ballet flats for $45, tall boots for $149, and Hunter rain boots for a mere $70 (for those of you still in need of a good pair, this is the sale for you). Cashmere sweaters are $75, while wool-blend sweaters are just $40 -- and do come in a kaleidoscope of J. Crew colors. 261 West 36th Street, 2nd floor: 10AM - 7PM
