i think we’re pretty well-established rebecca minkoff fans here at shoppingsmycardio by this point. so, when i got the word that that she was holding a sample sale next week, well, my heart was all aflutter. until i remembered that her shop is in NYC (you manhattan girls have all the fun!).

but just as i was ready to go cry into my martini, things improved: rebecca’s decided to offer pre-orders…by phone! so, starting tomorrow (that’s 11/5), at noon eastern time, flex those dialing fingers, and put a call in to the amazing sales staff at the rebecca minkoff store at 212/677.7829!

now, for the sample sale virgins out there: we have no idea what’s going to be in stock (in fact, i chatted with some of the fabulous girls over at the shop to see if we could get a little sneak peek, and even they don’t know yet). so, use some sample-saling common sense on this one, and pull up their website before you call, so that when they tell you they have one black mini nikki left, you have sense enough to say “i’ll take it!!!” instead of “now, which one is that again?”

all the gory details are above, and i’m even adding the official RM disclaimer about the sale (essentially, these are samples, ladies – they’re in great shape, but no guarantees and no returns, no matter what).

have a blast, buy a lot, but be patient with the store….monday’s going to be no small nightmare of craziness for them, i’m sure. ooh, and of course, feel free to let them know shoppingsmycardio sent you their way!
