The official start of the holiday shopping season may be a couple of weeks away, but it’s never too early to engage in a little pre-holiday retail warm-up! And what better way to get in the shopping spirit than with a fab designer sample sale? On November 11th and November 12th, you can shop an incredible selection of designer jeans, designer tops, designer dresses and swimwear at the Shoshanna Showroom in NYC. And as if one designer sample sale isn’t enough, this sample sale includes two fabulous designer lines: Shoshanna and Anlo! With sample sale discounts of up to 75% off retail, this is what I call fashion nirvana! Here are just a few of the stylish steals that you’ll find at this designer sample sale.

Designer Sample Sale - Anlo Petra Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are HOT again and are definitely this winter’s must haves with many stylists predicting that they will be the trend for the season! From the Shoshanna and Anlo designer sample sale collection you've got a great opportunity to pick up some fab fall and winter pieces at sample sale prices. For example, take your look to new heights with Anlo’s ultra-elongating Petra jean shown below. The dark Oslo wash gives this jean a polished feel, while the classic skinny cut creates a svelte silhouette. As an added bonus, the slightly shorter inseam makes this designer jean perfect for pairing with flats, heels or this season’s super-hot shoe-booties! For a chic, model-esque look, I love this designer jean paired with a slim-fitting shirt or a simple tank as shown, but it would also look fabulous with a cozy winter sweater or a relaxed, trendy boyfriend blazer and one of this Fall’s ubiquitous embellished tees. Originally priced at $198, this versatile Anlo designer jean is on sale at the Shoshanna / Anlo designer sample sale for just $74.

Designer Sample Sale - Anlo Kate Skinny Jeans

You can channel your inner celebrity with the fashion ankle skinny shown below. The Anlo Kate Skinny has been photographed on celebs from Miley Cyrus to Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester (just this month!), making it one of the hottest styles of the year. The charcoal Smoke hue will make a great addition to your jean wardrobe in a closet full of blue. But it’s the pyramid studs at the ankle that put the Kate Skinny at the top of my must-have list. For a chic, sophisticated look, dressed up for a night out on the town with stiletto high heels, to balance out the sexy factor I would wear this designer jean with a soft cardi-wrap or a luxe cape coat. But for a slightly punk vibe, it would look awesome with a leather jacket that hits at the hip or below! After all, who says good girls can’t be a little bad sometimes? ;-)  Originally priced at $202, this celeb-fave Anlo designer jean is now on sale for $75.

Designer Sample Sale – Anlo Macey Skirt

Also from Anlo, you’ll definitely be raising the style quotient in the high-waisted Macey Skirt shown below. The flirty bow-tie at the waist gives this denim skirt an extra dose of femininity, while the flat side pockets sit beautifully at the hip to create a perfect hourglass shape. The dark Pamplona wash gives this designer denim a refined feel, making it ideal for both day and night. The ultimate multi-tasker, the Anlo Macey skirt can also be worn below the waist, allowing different looks for different body types. No matter how you choose to wear it though, this sassy mini is a guaranteed hit. Made in the USA, the Anlo Macey Skirt normally retails for $188. However, it can be yours for just $60 at this incredible designer sample sale.

Designer Sample Sale – Shoshanna Sheath Dress

When it comes to comfort and ease, it’s hard to beat a sheath dress. Shoshanna puts a contemporary spin on this fashion favorite with the stunning silk sheath below. While the classic cut of this designer dress may be simple, the ultra-modern print is anything but. Pleating detail at the waist makes this Shoshanna style a true standout, and the silk fabric and lining give it an extra opulent feel. Adding to the appeal, the body-skimming cut is a universal figure flatterer. What more could a fashionista ask for? Originally priced at $310, this Shoshanna designer dress is a steal at $150.

Designer Sample Sale – Shoshanna Shawl Cardigan

Looking for something to keep you warm this winter without sacrificing style? Look no further than the gorgeous Shoshanna shawl cardigan shown below. I love the rich Eggplant hue and the oh-so-chic graduated striping. With its versatile cut sleeves, this 100% wool designer cardigan can be worn over a tee or tank as shown, or over a fitted long-sleeved sweater for a more fashion-forward look. (Pewter would look fab!) Regularly priced at $350, this Shoshanna shawl designer cardigan has been reduced to just $100. Talk about looking like a million for next to nothing!

Designer Sample Sale – Shoshanna Shirred Strapless Dress

Last but definitely not least, you’ll be turning heads in the Shoshanna shirred strapless dress below. This silk designer dress features an ultra-feminine sweetheart neckline and knot detailing at the bust. I especially love the ruching detail at the empire waist It gives this flirty and fab style an added dose of oomph! (Plus, it’s super-flattering if you’re lucky enough to have some curves on top.) Perfect for a night on the town with the girls or a special evening out, this strapless designer dress is regularly priced at $319. However, it can be yours for just $150 purchased at the Shoshanna and Anlo designer sample sale.

These are just a few of the stylish and spectacular bargains that you’ll find at the Shoshanna and Anlo designer sample sale. But there are still more in the sample sale collection! Take a look!
