Kickin' it at the Eurocup

For all of our Euro-phile brethren, the excitement reaches fever pitch at this time of year. For those of you recording skipping out of work to watch the semifinals over the next two days, the real question is, as it always should be, what is the proper cheering attire?* 

Spain v. Portugal. As we are rooting for Spain, the old country, as it were, naturally this means something red and/or yellow. Which leads to tomorrow's plan - 10:30 a.m., get on line for and subsequently dominate the Amanda Uprichard sample sale with the efficiency of Alonso's feet. With any luck, we will snag this and pair it with one or more red bangles: 

Italy v. Germany. Another of our homelands, Italy's Forza Azzurri is our pick. The eponymous nickname necessitates blue apparel. Leave it to the Italians to nickname their team after their uniforms. For this game we turn to Improvd for a blue maxi-dress, avant-garde couture designed by Valentino Vettori, who is, fittingly, one of our favorite Italian designers based out of NYC:

 

Buona fortuna, buena suerte, and so forth! 

*Because, trust us, you know no self-respecting European would dare be seen in anything less than form-fitting clothing perfectly contoured to their annoyingly petite bodies. Seriously, have you seen the Italian fans? Wistful sigh. But we digress...

Summer Sample Sales

Today NYC swelters at a balmy 100 degrees...which means that the only reason to venture outside of any air conditioned space is to go sample sale-ing! Yes, it is unfortunate that sample sale season coincides with a heatwave, but this is it. What you've been training for all year. Remember these tips, and sally forth, StyleSetters!

While these are an abundance of sales within the upcoming days and weeks, we curated some of our favorites for those of us who don't have time to make it everywhere:

Today - Start at Shoshanna (231 W. 39th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, Suite 422) and then head on over to Parker (234 West 39th Street).
