There are some great events taking place this month, including an awesome bespoke stationery event to benefit a wonderful charity for women and children (a great holiday gift!), a rare bridal event in Tokyo, a couple sample sales that have me drooling, and an educational opportunity that mixes important business with luxurious pleasure!
Monique Lhuillier – Sample Sale
A one day only sample sale from Monique Lhuillier in Los Angeles, including bridal and ready-to-wear at 40%-90% off! Merchandise is “as is”, and all sales are final, but there may be an incredible deal waiting for you. No appointments are taken (and please note that it’s not at their Melrose boutique), so be sure to get there early!

Reem Acra Ready-to-Wear and Bridal Sample Sale
This is it! Your chance to get one of Reem Acra’s beautifully detailed, embellished, sophisticated gowns for a steal! Reem Acra is hosting a sample sale of both bridal AND ready-to-wear, so it is also a great opportunity to get dresses for your bridal party, rehearsal dinner, or honeymoon.

The Big Write – Custom Stationery Benefit Event
So this is an event right after my own heart, and it’s making me crazy that I can’t attend! Please, please someone in NYC, go for me! Talented Ellen Weldon does phenomenal calligraphy (my favorite thing in the world), and is hosting her third annual benefit event “The Big Write”. For a $25 donation – a screaming deal if you ask me – you get a one-hour appointment to design a bespoke stationery set for yourself or to give as a holiday or wedding gift. You can purchase up to 10, so this could really take care of your gift list! Ellen will hand-letter the chosen name in whatever ink colors etc. that you choose, at the top of each note card in a 5-notecard/envelope set. They get packaged into a beautiful box that includes a description of the charity that all proceeds are donated to – Sanctuary for Families, an organization in NYC dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence, sex trafficking, and their children.
