December 2008 Events

Pegleg is an interesting company that seems to translate the oddities found in everyday life into clothing.  They're designs are sometimes humorous, sometimes nostalgic, and almost always eclectic. Check out their goods at their holiday warehouse sale on December 20-21.  Details on early hour specials after the jump.

Tina Mac, designer of PJ Harlow, had a vision of creating a clothing line and company that brought women a sense of tranquility and peace in this busy world.  Put PJ Harlow Dreamwear on day or night and you will truly experience complete body clothing harmony... at least that's what I've been told.  Find out for yourself at the company's warehouse sale December 20-21.  Prices will be below wholesale.  In addition, clothing from children's brand Pink Fish will also be sold.

Got booty?  You need PZI Jeans.  PZI makes "jeans that fit" for women with curves. If you have a small waist and full hips, you probably know all about the gap most jeans create at the waistline.  PZI tapers its jeans and uses 2% stretch material for optimum fit and comfort.  Say goodbye to flashing your underwear when you sit down.  The company is holding a warehouse sale December 20-21 with discounts of up to 75%.  You'll also find jackets, skirts, shorts, capris, and tops.

Normally, Digital Gravel is a major online resource for underground streetwear, but this weekend the company will be opening its doors to the public one last time before the new year.  Running December 19-21, the sale will feature more than 50% off t-shirts, flannels, hoodies, etc. They carry some interesting designs so check it out if you get a chance.

Streetwear clothing company Mishka is holding its biannual warehouse sale December 19-21.  Look for tees, hoodies, knits, hats, jackets, and more at 50-75% off regular price. No doubt, this event will be cool.  Details after the jump.

If your a fan of American Apparel, this is your chance to save big.  The company is hosting is holiday factory sale at its Downtown LA facility (yes, the clothes are actually made in the U.S.A.).  $5 buys you an all day pass to the event, where prices will start at $1 on classics and one-of-a-kind garments.  The company also promises a smoother shopping experience than before, with more entrances and cashiers. 

Created in 1994 by a top celebrity makeup artist, Stila is known for its modern, sophisticated, non-intimidating approach to beauty. The brand is a regular on the pages of magazines like Allure and InStyle, and frequents the runways of top designers during New York fashion week. Don't miss your last chance of the year to save 50-80% these world famous cosmetics.

If I break another pair of sunglasses my wife is going to throw me out of the house.  If that happens, I hope its before next weekend because the first place I'm going is to the Spy Optic Warehouse Sale to buy a new pair of shades.  If you're unfamiliar with Spy, they make serious, high-performance goggles and glasses that look great.  Get down there and grab yourself a pair.

The title of this post may seem a little confusing at first.  Although the savings at his sale will be terrific, "To Die For" actually refers to the name of the company.  Well known for graffiti inspired designs, To Die For has become a favorite for many rock bands and those who embrace the SoCal music scene.

If you have a car enthusiast in your life, you might want to check out the warehouse sale hosted by Mad House Marketing.   The company carries all kinds of licensed merchandise for the GM brands - Hummer, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Pontiac, etc.  You'll find savings of 30-70% on Leather Jackets, Varsity Jackets, Fleece, Sweatshirts, T-shirts, Caps, etc.  Step on the gas and get to the sale December 12-13.

Rebecca Minkoff's handbag collection has been spotted on the arms of such celebrities as Hilary Duff, Bijou Phillips, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, and Debra Messing to name a few. Now you can add yourself to that list.

RVCA, the apparel maker that fuses together art, music, fashion, and action sports, is holding its annual holiday warehouse sale December 5-6th, and 13th.  It's also a moving sale, so the company is looking to blowout as much inventory as possible before the big move.  You'll find great deals on all kinds of apparel.  Also, if your a big RVCA fan, you can buy a speed pass that will get you in the door without standing in line.

This is it.  The mother of all Warehouse Weekends is here!!!  The Costa Mesa fashion district is going off this weekend, so instead of sending out a bunch of alerts, here is list of events.  The best part is all these sales are are within a few blocks of each another.  To get any of these, basically take the 55 freeway south until it ends, then make a right at 17th.  Forgive me if I missed any.
