I don't talk about my day job here—mostly because I don't want to get fired—but I will say that last week, something rather unexpected happened, which was that I got promoted out of the blue. With that promotion came a raise, and I have a rule, which is that whenever I get a raise, I treat myself to a new bag. Since I was not at all expecting this windfall, I must say, I'm enjoying exploring the possibilities of what to do with it. And while my desires tend toward the classic, part of me wants something slightly more impractical. The current front-runner is the 3.1 Phillip Lim floral Pashli mini satchel, which has "impulse buy" written all over it. First of all, it has the word "mini" in its name, which is code for "way too small for everyday use." Then there's the floral print, which is a bit limiting (or my new favorite fashion word, "specific"). Not to mention the price, which is still a bit above my comfort level. But if I may pay devil's advocate with myself, one of my favorite bags is "mini" (my Balenciaga first), and I carry it all the time, practicality be damned. The floral print is, yes, specific, but with the black trim, it's just neutral enough that you can get away wearing it with everything (hey, it's a statement piece!). And as for the price, well, I'm worth it, aren't I? All I need to sweeten the deal is one of Les Nouvelles' periodic promo codes. Stay tuned...

Object of Desire: 3.1 Phillip Lim Floral Pashli Mini Satchel

Sample Sales of the Week: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Hermes, David Yurman, Dannijo, United Bamboo & more
Monday, March 21, 2011
There are so many awesome sample sales this week, I had to list them all. So, without further ado...
Normally if there is a disaster or a cause, I would encourage you to donate money directly to the charity, rather than shop for something that benefits. However, this is more of a situation where you'd be going to it anyway, and it just so happens to have a charitable benefit. I'm talking about the 2-day 3.1 Phillip Lim sample sale, where RTW, men's, and kids' samples and production stock will be at below-wholesale prices, and proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross's Japan relief efforts. 3/24-3/25; 10-6; 260 W. 39th St. (7th & 8th Aves.), 17th fl.
Also benefiting Japan: United Bamboo, where clothing for men, women, and cats (yes cats), plus shoes and bags are up to 90% off, with 100% of proceeds going toward tsunami relief in Japan. 3/22-3/23; 11-8; 217 Centre St. (Grand & Howard Sts.), 6th fl.
Expect long lines and lots of cranky rich people at the Hermes sample sale, where bags, scarves, ties, jewelry, and various leather goods are up to 70% off. As usual at Soffier Haskin, bring credit cards and leave the strollers and children under 12 at home. 3/23-3/27; 9-9, 9-8 Th, 1-5 Sun; 317 W. 33rd St. (8th & 9th Aves.).
David Yurman's jewelry rarely goes on sale, so scoop it up at this sample sale, also featuring watches and eyewear. 3/24-3/27; 3-8 Th, 10-7 F-Sat, 11-5 Sun.; Altman Building, 135 W. 18th St. (6th & 7th Aves.).
In case you missed any of Dannijo's prior sample sales, you've got another choice to score their downtowny jewelry at just $10 and up. 3/22; 10-7:30; 423 W. 14th St. (at Washington St.).
Finally, if, like me, you're of the mind that one cannot own too many bikinis, hit the Sirene Collection first-annual sample sale this weekend, where swimwear by coveted lines like Zimmerman and Mara Hoffman is up to 85% off. 3/25-3/26; noon-7 F, noon-5 S; 250 W. 39th St. (7th & 8th Aves.), ste. 507.

TheFind Guest Post: Jump Into a 3.1 Phillip Lim Jumpsuit
What's not to love about Phillip Lim? The designer has consistently brought elegance with a whimsical twist back to the runway. Lim's creativity and vision has been awarded the 'Rising Star' award from Fashion Group International as well as two nominations for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award. The namesake collection, 3.1 Phillip Lim features jumpsuits bringing all-in-one dressing back into the limelight. The 3.1 Phillip Lim jumpsuit is no longer the awkward step-sister but a must-have modern addition to your summer wardrobe. Again the 3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2010 collection featured a noteworthy jumpsuit as cute as can be. We are love the adorable cinched ankles and oversized patch pockets.
