Local designer Daniela Corte is opening up her otherwise by-appointment-only studio at  211 Newbury St. (note – this is a new address) on Saturday 10am to 6pm for a sample sale of spring and summer pieces, plus past-season items at 60-80 percent off. Prices start at $10; cash or check only.

Deal Alert: Cynthia Rowley Sample Sale in Boston

I was so excited when Cynthia Rowley opened a boutique on Newbury last year. Partially because it reminds me of my twenties in New York City; one of my favorite charity gala dresses is a Cynthia Rowley. I’m doubtful I will ever squeeze into its size 2-ness, yet I will never part with it. That said, I’ve hardly bought a thing at this still new shop. Well, now’s my chance. The Boston sample sale starts tomorrow and goes through Sunday, 10am to 9pm (really, in Boston, 9pm?!), up to 80% off on clothing and accessories. See ya there.
