Alberta Ferreti,Moschino, Jean Paul Gaultier, Pollini, Basso & Brooke, Authier - Sample Sale
12 November 2008
![]() ![]() Cecile & I were lucky enough to attend the AEFFE Sale yesterday before everyone got their hands on all the goods. With beautifully detailed cocktail dresses from Jean Paul Gaultier, Moschino & Philosophy ranging from $300-$700, soft leather jackets from Pollini for about $550, belts starting at $40, and an assortment of handbags & clutches for every budget, Cecile & I were enchanted by the selection. The many fabrics, textures and colors used in the collections ensure that there is
something at the AEFFE Sample Sale for everyone.
Cecile & I were digging through the shoes for a good hour. Luckily for Cecile, about 80% of the shoes were here size;37. After walking around with about 4 pairs of shoes, debating on which to indulge in, Cecile purchased a beautiful pair of tan leather Moschino booties with a stacked wooden heel & side buckle. Not only were they a great bargain at $264 (originally $594), but most items were an additional 20% off! So Cecile wound up paying a mere $220 for her gorgeous leather Moschino booties which she wore the whole way back to the office.It was crushing not to find anything in my size (8) as the selection of shoes was to die for. Each pair more exquisite than the next! Flats were $140-$180 with additional 20% off, and Studio Pollini has tall leather riding boots in a rich chocolate brown for ONLY $180 (not counting the 20% off).
Get there early to get dibs on the sizes. Each style has only a few pieces of its kind.

The sky’s the limit when dealing with the latest trend in cityscape décor. Take your pick from the Paris, Stockholm, Helsinki, or Toyko skylines which inspired designer Elina Aalto to create her black perforated Better Views roller blinds with cut outs made to mimic the city’s nighttime appearance.
The subtle illusion comes with a hefty $470 sticker though so you may want to opt for woven View from Brooklyn shades ($345) for which the price tag for a view of Manhattan is easier to swallow when you reason that the shades double as anti-UV ray screens.
But why limit yourself when you can go for a wider statement and take to the walls with decals. No need to splurge for Wall Slicks’ skyline sticky ($120) when you can glue down the same look for a third the price on Etsy.
And for the little kiddies, blik offers their City by Boodalee graphics ($55) which come with a cartoon cityscape complete with bridges and double-decker buses.
