Live from the Front Lines of the Gilt City Warehouse Sale!

                Today is the start of the Gilt City DC’s warehouse sale. It is located this year at Dock 5 of the Union Market. This is behind the shops off of Neal Street NE. I have attended the biannual Gilt City warehouse sale since its inception and have reported on it through this very blog (http://bit.ly/21ffFu0 ). I have attended the first access media event. Gilt City has sent me a private email link before the regular tickets go on sale because I am a premium client, have been here before and the site follows me on Twitter. The first access media event benefits are getting first crack at all of the goodies. This is great when both my dress and shoe size is 12. Speaking of shoe size, I am happy that Gilt City has (finally) stocked my shoe size!


In addition, to shoes, I have snagged the white Diane von Furstenberg dress and two Alice + Olivia dresses. These are two of my favorite designers plus I couldn’t resist the Alice + Olivia sparkle! I absolutely love sequins and they make me feel feminine.

Another bonus is the extra discounts coming from certain colored tags. I manage to score an extra 20% off my blue Alice + Olivia dress because it has a lavender tag. 

I hope that these insider tidbits guide you through your Gilt City warehouse sale visit. This event is happening today and tomorrow. Here is the link to purchase tickets (http://gi.lt/1oQY4uA). Hurry up because they are going fast and you save hundreds of dollars in one place!

Nordstrom Tysons Corner Stuart Weitzman Spring Trunk Show


            Checking out Facebook this morning telling people Good Morning before traveling to my Bits of Thread class, I see that Nordstrom Tysons Corner will have a Stuart Weitzman spring trunk show from 10am to 5pm.  Thankful that I don’t have anything else after my class, I rearrange my schedule to include it.  I love Stuart Weitzman because I have narrow feet.  This is the best designer ever!  It also helps that the metro isn’t doing weekend track work. This allows everyone to get to where they need to be. I arrive at Dunn Loring metro station, hail a cab to Tysons Corner arriving at Nordstrom.  Riding up three escalators to the Salon Shoes section, the department has two tables full of Stuart Weitzman merchandise. This is nirvana!  I meet the trunk show representative who is nice and courteous.  She compliments me on my Prada sandals but I tell her that these are Stuart Weitzman silver Itsybitsy sandals (I have to dress for the occasion especially since it is warming up this weekend.). Below is one of the tables showcasing the jellies and my silver Itsybitsy sandals.
