must-shop sample sales May 21 - on Gilt: Three Dots, Cynthia Vincent. on Refinery29 Reserve: Clare Vivier clutches, $60 off LnA, $100 off Rachel Pally, spend $100 get $200 at So Low (yoga & streetwear).

Through 5/20, use code 15OFFBAGS for 15% off bags and 15OFFSHOES for 15% off shoes at TENOVERSIX.
(sorry for the duplicate post if you also read Grechen’s Codes – but since this one involves Rachel Comey, I wanted to post here too
)

A kind & generous reader let me know just now that she got these Rachel Comey hitch boots – in perforated leather! – at Steven Alan this week and saved an additional 15% with code springwelcome. That would make them $254!! Not a bad deal for Rachel Comey boots. In perforated leather no less.
And now for something completely different, but not really. I’ve been toying around with adding a “Marketplace” category here on Grechen’s Closet where readers could submit items for sale. I would be VERY picky about the posts/items I’ll eventually include in the marketplace; they would have to be for designers like Rachel Comey, Repetto, no6, Alexander Wang, etc. Since many of you come here to seek out items by these designers anyway, it seems logical to offer a solution for where to buy them used as well.
I would stay completely out of the buying/selling process, my role is curator and facilitator. I cannot be responsible for authenticating anything, although if I can tell that something is obviously fake, I’ll reject the post. I also wouldn’t charge any fees for doing this, maybe I’ll create a badge for you guys who are bloggers to post on your blogs though. Or correction, I’ll have Linda create a badge for me 
Is this something you would be interested in using? Either selling or buying? what would make you more or less inclined to use a marketplace like what I’m talking about?

Yes, I know I JUST posted a Refinery29 Reserve deal on Friday, but this one is SO GOOD, and bird sells ALL OF MY FAVORITE DESIGNERS (except James Perse, shame…) like Repetto, Rachel Comey, Isabel Marant, No6, Comme des Garcons…
So through May 20 via Refinery29 Reserve, spend $100 and get $200 to use at bird. I’d actually buy and use this IMMEDIATELY because just browsing around, I noticed that lots of sizes are already sold out. If you don’t already have a pair of shoes by Repetto, Rachel Comey or NO6, here are my guidelines on sizing:
Repetto – size up one size. If you’re an 8 get a size 39.
Rachel Comey – true to size
No6 – this is tricky, but for closed clogs I go a size up, and for sandals, I take my regular size. But some people seem to have problems with No6 being very narrow, so if your foot is wide, size up for all clogs.
