You know what I love more than Gucci, Louis, Fendi, and Prada? Gucci, Louis, Fendi, and Prada at 60%–80% off the retail price! If you love a good sale, too, then you won't want to miss out on the Gilt City Fall 2016 Chicago Warehouse Sale from October 14–15 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Warehouse.
The sale is not just for the ladies, men will also have
plenty of Tom Ford and Paul Smith—to name a few—to choose from. Shoppers can
peruse racks stocked with all things fashion including the newest shoe styles,
jewelry, suits, jackets, denim, tops, and outerwear. Shop both up-and-coming
designers and renowned fashion houses, including Chloé, Valentino, Derek Lam,
Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, Oscar de la Renta, and more.
Oh, and you might also catch me there! So come say,
"Hi," and let's blow our paychecks together! Check out the full event

Since I'm a veteran Gilt City Warehouse Sale Shopper, I have
included some shopping tips for you below!
SHOPPING TIPS:
Arrive early: Just as you would for any sample sale,
arrive early! No matter what session you come to, be sure to get there
with ample time. This ensures a full shopping experience, and it's best to view
the merchandise when it’s most organized.
Reduce your drag: Come prepared to shop—we require
coat check and large bag check, so bring a small purse or wallet that you can
keep your credit cards and ID in. A small wallet or cross-body bag will leave
your hands free to peruse the racks, or sip a cocktail! Also, shopping in light
layers will allow you to try clothes on easily, and you may even decide not to
wait for a fitting room!
Think ahead: Don't be afraid to shop for future
seasons. You'll find that there are amazing deals for every occasion -
score designer suits or that perfect glam dress for the holidays.
Have an open mind: The most exciting part of the Warehouse
Sale is the element of surprise! While you may have certain items in mind that
you’re really focused on purchasing, take your time, look through the racks and
filter through the shoes and accessories with an open mind. This is
usually the time when the magic happens and you'll find yourself going home
with some great steals that you might otherwise not have found!
And remember - plastic! No cash, so bring your debit or
credit cards!
