A little reminder: our favorite Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale starts the next week! This huge, direct from the designer warehouse clothing sale only happens 4 times a year and runs for 3 days (Thursday, Nov. 15 through Saturday, Nov. 17). Everything in the sale will be marked down 50% to 75% OFF retail. They have sizes to fit just about anyone ~ from Petite to Women’s sizes and everything in between.
Here’s a sneak preview of our visit…
A few days ago, I jaunted to Dallas to get a peek at the sale and take some pictures for our readers. The fall warehouse sale is packed full of rows and rows of gorgeous fall and transition-to-winter fashion bargains. I love the texture and colors featured throughout this year’s collection ~ bright, but definitely fall season.
Some of my favorite finds were the “Texas-weight” jackets (for those crisp, but not-cold-enough-for-gloves days), Tru Luxe Jeans at 50% off retail, and the oh-so-fashionable (and figure forgiving) ponchos in lots of styles. I especially love all the attention to detail in these high-end department store quality fashions.
Check out the fabulous button details on the tailored blue jean
jacket sleeves above (love!). The finishing on the inside with the
plaid piping on the seams adds fun pizzazz, too.
The November 15-17 sale will feature thousands of discounted items from Sharon Young, Multiples, City Girl, Tru Luxe, and more designer brands at big discounts. Prices start at $20 and the most expensive items (dresses and jackets) are $60.
In a nutshell, here’s what you will find at the sale:
Details, details
When: November 15-17, 2012 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 8:00PM
and Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas. You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!).
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home.
Enjoy and Share! :)

Worth passing along ~ SniqueAway has a fantastic $119/night hotel deal for a fabulous San Antonio/Hill Country area getaway at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort. This beautiful location is known for its impeccable service, 4-acre waterpark with lazy river, man-made beach and poolside cabanas. It’s within a few minutes of Sea World and Fiesta Texas and about 20 minutes from downtown San Antonio and the Riverwalk.
You likely know that we are BIG fans of TripAdvisor’s travel bargain site SniqueAway (you can read our review here), as we personally used them to save a bundle on our last two vacations and our experience was EXCELLENT. Backed by the credibility of our favorite travel review site, TripAdvisor.com, SniqueAway offers limited-time sales and deep discounts on some fantastic 4 & 5-Star rated hotels around the world, with savings typically from 40-60% OFF.
Through SniqueAway’s sale, hotel rates at The Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa start at $119 a night and there are dates available now through early March (perfect if you are looking for a holiday get-away or want to see the famous Riverwalk Christmas lights in San Antonio or the Hill Country Christmas Lighting Trail).
Go here to sign-in to SniqueAway (or become a member for FREE), then navigate to The Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort deal. Tip: Be sure to look for a diamond-shaped icon on the dates when you peruse the available options on the calendar ~ the diamond icon means those dates feature the lowest sale price.
Popular dates often sell out quick. If you intend to take advantage of this deal, you won’t want to wait too long as it’s only available on SniqueAway for 4 more days and popular dates tend to sell out fast (offers are on a first come, first serve basis).
Learn more about SniqueAway, here or go here for a longer review of our experience with SniqueAway (and why we like it so much!).
