It may be Monday, but the week is shaping up to be killer for sales. Starting Wednesday, the city is a bonanza of bargains from Opening Ceremony and Rebecca Minkoff to Tibi and Tocca.
Alas, while some blogs have been reporting that Christian Louboutin would be hosting a press preview and public sample sale, this appears to be not the case. We heard from the source that there is, indeed, an event, but it's going to be very strictly invitation-only. The good news is, there's plenty of sales to ease the loss.
REBECCA MINKOFF
Bag sales have abounded lately, with Rebecca Minkoff offering great sample sale prices - coveted styles will go for nearly half price, in ranges dipping to the $200's - for a happy hump day.
155 Fifth Avenue: Wednesday, May 12, 10am-7pm.
OPENING CEREMONY
Welcome to the sample-sale mix the Olympics of highly fashion-centric shppers. The Opening Ceremony sale offers up prime deals 60-90 percent off retail - which is, in this case, practically free - on coveted labels like Rachel Comey, Vena Cava Proenza Schouler and so many more.
33 Howard Street: May 13-16; Thursday-Saturday, 11AM-8PM; Sunday, 12-7PM.

MAXMARA
Monday goes from manic to MaxMara, as the brand kicks off a work-week's-worth of discounts 50-80 percent off regular prices - dresses normally priced near $1,000 will go between $199-$299.
317 W. 33rd Street: Monday, May 10-14; Monday-Thursday, 9AM-6:30PM; Friday, 9AM-5PM
