*SAMPLE SALE* Rodarte

Still waiting for RSVP confirmation from Rodarte? Don't worry, you're not alone. To help relieve your frustration, I have the location to this winter's Rodarte sample sale. As in the past, the event will be held at the Ace Hotel. And just like previous years, the sale has opened its doors to VIP shoppers today (the public sale will be tomorrow, December 8th). If history is any indication, Rodarte has never checked names at the door, so you might want to swing by this afternoon if you want dibs on the good stuff. And speaking of which, the Alexander McQueen sample sale is still going on in the Meatpacking district. I've heard from numerous readers that they were able to get in and shop without an invite. Intrepid fashionistas might want to jump on this golden opportunity. So, there you have it. For some Friday fun, there are two invite-only sample sales with lax door policies!

Where: The Ace Hotel, 20 W. 29th St. (bet. 5th & Broadway)

When: Friday, December 7th (VIP day)
Saturday, December 8th
