Private Sales This Week: UPDATE!

You know how we love our sample sale websites. This week I nearly had a heart attack when I saw what was coming up! Try to contain yourself...and clear your calendar of all appointments on Wednesday especially...

Going on now at SecretSales (sorry this one is only for UK people but they will be shipping to the US soon) you'll find dVb sunglasses, and on Thursday they'll have dVb denim! On Wednesday, Rue La La will have Rich & Skinny jeans. Also, newcomer BillionDollarBabes will have 7 for All Mankind on Wednesday! This is the one that is going to break the bank - Gilt Groupe is having some fab sales this week! Watch for Rock & Republic jeans for men and women on Wednesday. Not only that - sometimes you need a little something to dress up your denim - so check out Gilt's L.A.M.B. handbag sale on Tuesday, and the Christian Louboutin shoe sale on Wednesday. On Thursday (UPDATE!) check out the Juicy Couture sale at Rue La La! They have Juicy jeans, in addition to sweats, jewelry and shoes! And finally, check out SecretStyle starting Thursday for a sale on Kasil jeans!

I told you this week was a good one for online shopping! Want more sample sale websites? Check out our complete list, with invite links!

Crate Spring/Summer 09 Collection

Los Angeles' denim label, Crate, has matured since it first introduced us a few years ago to the beloved James and Sally fits. While adding four more models to the line up in a variety of different denims, Chad Hilton, founder of Crate, has kept true to his promise of a great pair of all-American made jeans at an accessible price. He also blogs about the latest Crate additions, such as tailored belt loops for the jeans, as well as his adventures traveling across the US in search of deadstock fabrics to bring back to the Downtown Los Angeles factory for his handmade collection.

Gavin Rossdale in Levi's Capital E Jeans

Sexy singer and husband of Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale spends some quality family time at Long Beach. Gavin is wearing Levi's Capital E jeans. I just had to post pictures of Gwen and the boys as well since they are all dressed in blue and white striped jeans. How CUTE!!! Gavin is the odd man out. Nice to see him wearing something different than his usual Prps.

Diesel Introduces The Bastonati Collection

One of denim's most popular names is producing a new collection called Bastonati, Italian for "beyond recognition." Each pair of jeans in the collection will be hand-treated to make permanent creasing, paint spots, and reinforced holes- all so that no two pairs will be the same. The results are actually rather subtle compared to some of the season's extreme acid-bleached looks. Diesel's most popular fits Viker and Heeven for men and Matic and Nevy for women are all going to be represented in the Bastonati line, which will be priced at $200-$350. Will you be picking up a pair?
