This sale deserves its own post.

So, in less than 30 minutes I spent more than $200 Thursday at one store, LF. Because every item of clothing in LF’s inventory is frickin’ adorable. And currently discounted 60%.

While it is a very trendy and youthful store in some sense, you can definitely still find basics (tanks in glorious colors, jeans in equally cool colors, flip-flops, v-neck t-shirts, underwear) if you’re not interested in the peacock-feather earrings or the hot pink plastic jelly thongs studded with gems. But I don’t think anyone could go in this store and not find something - just the colors alone of the clothing are enough to put anyone in a good mood, if nothing else! And the chance to get a $40 brighter-than-neon lime tank for 15 and an almost $200 pair of faded, 80’s-ish jeans for $70, are other reasons to smile. And plus, some of the designers sold there like Emma and Sam are not commonly available.

1. The Shopaholic Sample Sale will feature samples and overstock inventory from “T Luxury, Leonard Street, Mynx, For Joseph, Jenny Hann, T Bags, Subtle Tones, Karen Zambos, Hale Bob, and more” (bargainsla). All is discounted 50 % off or more. I am a huge fan of Subtle Tones. There’s a boutique on Montana Avenue filled with lovely linens and silks, as well as beautiful home decor - for instance, sparkly chandeliers I’d buy for my house if I won the lottery. No, but seriously, there’s some nice and affordable stuff too: for instance, the black silk poof-y dress I got for $40 at the Montana Avenue Sidewalk Sale. Yes, $40. Proof that not all on Montana is outrageous, and proof that this sale won’t be either.

When: Saturday 8/3 and Sunday 8/4. 9am - 7pm.

Where: Pasadena Civic Auditorium, 300 E. Green St., Suite 104, Pasadena.

1. I love the west, cowboys, and therefore cowboy shirts. Kowboyz is having a sale on their, well, cowboy shirts. These include vintage pieces by New Scully, HBarC, and Tony Lama (for those who actually know their western attire.) The store specializes in vintage western gear, so if cowboy is what you’re going for, this is the place to go.

When: Now, and ongoing.

Where: 8050 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, 90048. Map

I’m telling you, take advantage of these sales, because a lot of them are happening at stores that might not normally have such big sales, but that are simply because it’s summer. So buy up for next summer, unless don’t like wearing something from last season, that is… As for me, if I like it, I like it! Anyway, to the important stuff

Sale. Practice the word with me, because it’s going to be used a lot this month. Summer means stores getting rid of, well summer clothes. Hm, although this doesn’t make total sense to me. Shouldn’t they do this in, like, September? Nevertheless, a whole new batch of sales for JUST this weekend.

The following are all currently happening:

1. Guess I’m not “ultra-hip” because I’ve never heard of Mr Winter. But, the “ultra hip” fashion line is having a sale on their “tees, tunics, tops, hoodies, shorts, and leather goods”. All 50 - 70 % off and under $25. From the looks of the research I did, images or details about the line are found next to nowhere online. So you may have to take a risk and see if you like the clothing once you get there.

• When: Today, Sunday 7/13, from 11am - 4pm.
• Where: 4167 Center St., Culver City, 90232.
• NOTE: According to one source (bargainsla.com), the only form of payment accepts CASH. So yes, a very important note to consider.

1. DNA Boutique started their Summer Clearance Thursday, and it’s still going on. The store’s actually already a boutique, so a sale AT a boutique should be even more deal-alicious. A PLUS for those male readers: this boutique has not only women’s clothing but men’s, too - something probably unfairly unaddressed by yours truly… Anyway, female or male, young or old, prices will be discounted 20 to 65%. A good thing for everyone!PS: To make the sale more tantalizing, they aren’t allowed to tell us the brands they sell - so not to hurt the “regular price business” of their sellers. This is like serious undercover, well kind of undercover, sale business! I like it.

• Where: TWO Locations. Yet another plus: The first, at 7519 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood. The second, at 411 Rose Ave., Venice.
• Call (310) 399 - 0341 for details.
• When: NOW.

DNA Clothing has an amazing sale twice a year. One of these wonderful sales starts this Thursday, the 10th! Yes! (I realize that it seems like I work for this place or something, since I mentioned them yesterday but I assure you that isn’t the case. I’m merely a fanatical customer.) In my email this morning, like a present, was a message letting me know that the sale is on. And I’m actually telling you about it. You’re welcome. I’m being selfless here, people. Normally I wouldn’t tell a soul but I figure it’s my job and I just might get some karma snaps for giving you the info. So, here we go….

Sometimes you feel like going crazy shopping.  You know ‘crazy shopping’, where you run from store to store in a frenzy, buying up whatever strikes your fancy and filling that hole in your soul that subconsciously knows that life is meaningless with fabulous merchandise?  Ha, I’m telling you how to fill your soul hole.  That’s funny.  Anyway, if you’re like me, a mall usually won’t cut it.  So, I’ve come up with a shopping itinerary for you.  You can save gas, get your shop on and do your part for the economy.  Don’t worry about a thing, I planned your day for you.  (Make sure you have several hours and are wearing your fun hat.) Here are my picks for Sunset Blvd.
