The Shoshanna & Anlo sale, which started with a lively-sounding Friends & Family sale last night, opens to the public today. According to Guerilla Shopper, line-cutting and sample raiding were a frequent sight at the VIP sale last night. Her top find was the above one-shoulder ruffle dress retailing at $360, but available last night for $50. She also spotted numerous other frocks (originally retailing at $220 and up) going for $75.

Sample Sally also reports on the sale with more sale salivating news—samples start at $35 and bathing suits at $15. Her tipster sent in more valuable intel:

Most merchandise was marked by colored dots priced from $75 to $150. The bikinis were $35 a piece (top or bottom) there were 2 bins for loose separates at $5. There was a bin of belts ($5), bin of sweaters ($10). Also there were actual samples – dresses & coats were $50 and the rest was $35. They had really cute bathing suits for $15. Overall, really cute stuff but the sample dresses were definitely on the small side and some of them were damaged or stained.

Hopefully the samples made it through to today. From past experience, there is no dressing room, so be prepared. Also, cash and credit are accepted.
