NYC Sample Sales: September 10-15, 2013.

I apologize for the delay in my weekly sales round-up but I was out of town for a friend's wedding and spending time with family. Hope that these sales will have you excited to shop again as NYFW starts to wind down. Let me know if you stop by any of these sales. Bendon Intimates has been a long time favorite, the prices at Clothingline sound out of control and the Mulberry sample sale has me dying of curiousity!

Buy: Mulberry for Target in Brooklyn

Mulberry for Target was hopelessly sold out online and in store but I stopped by the Altlantic Avenue store last night and noticed that they just re-stocked this week.

Plenty of Pebble, Patent and Leopard Crossbody bags and a few Large Pebble totes, a few patent Satchels and a lonely denim satchel were available for your snatching when I last looked.

If you wanted the mini crossbody bags though, they now have the mini pebble online again! There was only one denim mini crossbody when I checked the store last night but it was missing a screw causing the faceplate to dangle precariously.

Target Designer Collabs Presale Exclusively at Gilt Groupe

Target is partnering with Gilt Group to do an exclusive presale of select pieces from Target's newest designer collaborations with John Derian, Tucker and Mulberry. Housewares, apparel and handbags, Target is killing it!

The presale is scheduled to go live this Friday, August 20th and will only last through the weekend. As always, quantities are limited, so be ready to act fast. If you're not already a member of Gilt Groupe, here is an invitation link to sign up.

Next Target Accesory Collaboration: Mulberry

Target is at it again with another great accessory collaboration. This time they are partnering with British Luxe bag company Mulberry to bring you handbags in various fabrications including denim & velvet according to Fashionista. There are 8 styles altogether and although photos have yet to be released, hopefully the designs will be inspired by Mulberry's best sellers. The collection will hit Target stores and Target.com on October 10, 2010.

"We were thrilled to partner with Target on this special project," said Emma Hill, Mulberry's creative director. "We love Target for its iconic, American status, for its sense of humour and for the fact that their corporate mascot and figurehead is a dog called Bullseye! And we especially respect and admire their commitment to philanthropy and to their vast charitable contributions, currently standing at $3M per week."

iWant Jonathan Kelsey's Shoes

Move over Manolo...there's a new kid in town.
Jonathan Kelsey first began his career in shoes working with names such as Jimmy Choo, Cacharel, Luella and Giles Deacon. His current collection references the mid 70's clothing in his mother's closet, while the gothing elements are attributed to Tim Burton. His shoes have been seen on celebrities such as Kate Moss, Madonna and Kate Bosworth. The collection is available for Saks 5th Avenue and retails for $570-1445, but is currently on sale for $399-1011.

His shoes are also available at Mulberry, through a special 5 piece capsule collection that he designed for them. Prices for the Mulberry collection range from $650-895. You can expect to see more of Kelsey's designs for Mulberry in the spring time.

Some news that will excite all shoe fans. Not only will you be walking in style with Kelsey, but you'll be walking in comfort too. Kelsey tells Elle.com “All the shoes, flat and heels, are padded with silicon gel. It's something I started with my own label, and had such great feedback on comfort that I had to use it for Mulberry too "
