Hope you have your sample sale radar on, because now's that time of year when you may need to bolt away from your desk to pounce on a good deal at a moment's notice. Case in point? The Manolo Blahnik sample sale, which Madison Avenue Spy says is rumored to begin next Wednesday, May 6th at the Warwick Hotel, its usual spot on the same block as its flagship.

The fancy shoe brand declined to comment on the dates the the local blogger, citing that the sale is private. However, they've said the same thing in previous years before quietly opening the doors to non-VIPs, who have found a mixed bag of styles and sizes (or lack thereof) in previous years. Plan on trying your luck? Be sure to get there well before the doors supposedly open at noon.
