early-dec-sales-600
Now that the Thanksgiving leftovers have finally been disposed of, it's time to focus on the holiday homestretch. Cue the festive tunes, faux snow at The Grove, and secret Santa exchanges galore. And, if your holiday gift list is growing faster than rush hour traffic on the 405, know that you're not alone. With seven sample sales (say that five times fast!) happening this weekend, tackling that to-do will be worlds easier — without enlisting an army of little elves to help.

Three Brands, Two Days, One Glorious Sale
If closets could talk, ours would spill that we're addicted to Serge Azria, the creative mind behind brands Current/Elliott, Equipment, and Joie. And, this is one habit we won't be kicking anytime soon. Luckily, the trio of brands is hosting a joint sale with over 8,000 styles up to 75% off. This one might just cause a wardrobe overdose!

When: Friday, November 30, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, December 1, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: Siren Studios, 1050 North Orange Drive (at Romaine Street); no phone.

Decorate Your Holiday Look For Less With Statement Accessories
