Cheryl Shops

Don't say I never do anything for you--here's a list of upcoming sample sales this month in NYC. Now until Christmas is one of the two best times to shop in the city (the other time being May, when the majority of spring sample sales fall), so rest up, stay hydrated, and be kind to your fellow shoppers. I'll update this list if any notable sales should pop up; I'll also post another list in early December.
