Boy was there a ton of people! Considering how I went on a Friday, I was surprised by all the people in queue. Don’t people in LA work?! Oh ya, I forgot, we’re all starving actors and actresses. Comparative to all the other sample sales I’ve attended, I would say the Rock and Republic Sample Sale had a pretty good selection of past season styles as well as a wide range of sizes to appease fashionistas of all body types. When I finally got into the warehouse, I was shocked to see how much merchandise they had. The variety was unbelievable and who knew R&R would put their belts, buckles, shoes, dress pants, jackets, skirts, vests, etc. all at a 50-80% discount? I am in R&R heaven. After two hours and a whole lot of digging (I almost broke a sweat), I ended up with 2 pairs of denim, 1 shirt, and 1 tank. Not a bad days “work” if I do say so myself. I left with $200 less in my wallet and a smile on my face.

From what I can recall, here are some of the prices from the sample sale:
women’s denim (non embroidered) - $80
women’s denim (embroidered) -$100
t-shirt - $25
tank -$15

Suggestions:
-bring caffeine or water
-chicks, leave your purses in the car. they will not let you in with a purse
-come in groups so your buddies can hold your place in line (fitting and checkout)
-chicks, come in a day dress or skirt. Something easy to slip on and off jeans
-BRING CASH. I was able to not pay taxes when I used cash.

you may even want to bring something to read while you’re waiting in queue.

One thing is guaranteed, I’ll be back next season.

Just in case you didn’t get your fill from the Rock and Republic sample sale, James Perse is having their warehouse sale. You can get your fill of premium basics for men, women and children at up to 80% off retail prices. I always say, a chick can never have enough basics to layer with. At up to 80% savings, I’ll be the first one in line!

When you ask? This Saturday June 7th from 9 am - 5 pm

Where is the secret location? It’s at Siren Studios, 6063 W. Sunset Blvd., btwn N. Gower St. & La Baig Ave., Hollywood.
