365HANGERS Sample Sales + Giveaway

365HANGERS is a new sample sale website where everything is ALWAYS 70% off retail. Not sometimes, not up to 70% off…you can get designer fashion, at 70% off, all the time. French Conection, BCBG, Rebecca Taylor and more…it’s all on 365HANGERS.

The coolest part about this new site is that you shop by size, AND the models wearing the clothes are actually the size of the garment. So if you’re shopping size 6, the model wearing those size 6 garments is actually a size 6! Genius, right?

Here’s a look at some of my favorite party dresses on 365HANGERS right now (perfect for New Years Eve!)

Shop In Chicago: Thread Lounge

I’m all about supporting local boutiques in Chicago and I’m even more thrilled to support those that are doing something different. Lincoln Park’s Thread Lounge is not your ordinary designer boutique and a must-visit destination in Chicago.

Thread Lounge Designer Sample Sales is a concept by Colleen Schmidt, who spent years in the high-end loungewear and sleepwear industry. After she realized the market was becoming saturated with this kind of fashion, she knew she had to do something different. This is when Thread Lounge was born…

Colleen created a sample sale that travels the country and sells merchandise at a quarter of the retail price. This resulted in 2 great things…1) being able to serve her customers desires to have high-end clothing at a fraction of the cost, and 2) support small independent designers with selling their samples and excess stock.

With 300 lines in the ‘shops,’ there is something for everyone. It’s great to have a boutique that carries known designers as well as smaller independent designers as well…gives you the brands you love while exposing you to new designs at the same time.

Some designers Thread Lounge carries that you may recognize include James Jeans, Rag & Bone, Theory, and Tory Burch. Looking to try a new brand? Try Raj, Signum, Vintage Revolution, or Yanuk.

Visit Thread Lounge in Lincoln Park at 918 W. Armitage and visit www.threadlounge.com for more information.
