Friperie
Heave open the wrought iron doors of Friperie and the collection will cause bladder-tickling, cross-legged excitement. The Smith Street emporium is rustling with full skirted, off the shoulder, boned through the waist and shoulder padded cocktail dresses with lines projecting the bosom and hourglass silhouettes; these pieces must have been whipped off set of Gilda.

Asuza
It seems that the further we go into the future the more our focus on durable craftsmanship regresses. Some fashion, in particular men's, has a lot to answer in this regard. Asuza are bucking this trend through retro-futurism, which it would seem is a combination of forward-thinking design and dedicated craftsmanship from a time long gone by.

All of the Above Closet Cleanout & Silent Auction Extravaganza
The All of the Above traditional closet cleanout has crossed the virtual frontier to the great, equalizing college-kid platform of Facebook, with a silent auction format similar to eBay. Pictures of the items will be posted, and then you get to choose how much you're willing to pay.
OK, so sitting on your behind refreshing your newsfeed is not going to help you fit those Zambesi pants, but never fear, there is some exercise to be had.
Massive Sale at The Carlton Hotel
We all know that 'warehouse sale' is more often than not code for 'ill-fitting, random, last-season consignment stock', and that it could end in tears as you fist-fight over clothes you neither want nor need. You also have to be prepared to bare all in communal change rooms (tip - wear leggings...) and see the physical embodiment of your over-spending as you hand over notes at a cash-only register.
