Native Dallas designer Ashley Pittman’s horn and gemstone jewelry is not only a treasury of unique accessories, but a way to help support the Kenyan tribe who hand-assembles the line. (Plus, 10 percent of all profits are donated to the area’s healthcare clinic and primary school.) If you’re looking to add a few new options to your accessory collection, do it with the upcoming Ashley Pittman stock and sample sale this week. From Friday through Sunday, you can shop past-season pieces, samples, and a few damaged pieces, seriously discounted between 30 and 60 percent off.

To summarize, you’ll be shopping local, supporting a humanitarian cause, scoring a hot deal, and adding to your summer wardrobe. Shop this Friday, May 11, through Sunday, May 13, from 11 am to 6 pm. 4218 Oak Lawn. (Next door to Nosh in the Shops at Highland Park)

Update: A special preview on Thursday from 5 pm to 9 pm include cocktails.

This weekend The Gypsy Wagon is putting all home, gift, jewelry, boots, and accessories for 20 percent off. Plus, clothing is buy one, get half off the next piece. So, nearly everything on on sale. Wait. What? Everything? I emailed owner Carley Seale to double-check that this sale goes for all home, gift, jewelry, boots, accessories, and clothing in the store (versus a selection of sale merchandise).

Everything. she replied.

Yee haw! This is a serious opportunity to make like a bandit. Sale starts tomorrow and ends on Sunday. Something tells me I’ll see you there.

Stopped by Milk + Honey yesterday to pick up a birthday gift (spoiler alert, sis) and was pleased to discover the spring trends in full bloom. (Cheesy, sorry.) Most noticeably, the green, sweetheart necklined number with a peplum (above, middle). Peplums, as you may have noticed, are all the rage. The minty green Lela Rose dress above is new for spring along with Jason Wu’s sweet bubblegum skirt on the right. I don’t do pink myself, but I think the colorblocked dress, left, is a confection. The fuchsia pleats are oddly complementary to the seafoam-colored top. It doesn’t hurt that it’s only $46. Seriously. Oh, and it also comes in coral and taupe.

I have a friend who works for Hugo Naturals. (They make the pretty products above along with the red heart soaps from last week). I knew right away what a perk having this BFF would be. I’ve loved Hugo Naturals since my first bar of their soap. It was delicious smelling (grapefruit), didn’t get gooey in the soap dish, and kept my skin feeling hydrated. Plus, the line’s clean. No parabens, no sulfates, no petroleum, no phthalates, none of that mess. Apparently, like fashion houses, Hugo releases new collections with the seasons. When I saw these new shimmery butterflies and sherbet-hued bath bombs glittering like jewels on my friend’s desk, I knew I had to had to have them. And like the Grinch stole Christmas, I plundered them all. I mean, she can get more, right? (Fear not. Karma came back around and my photographer asked to be paid in some of my loot.) In any case, you can quit admiring my stash now and go get your own, because each of these spring confections is under $10 at a Whole Foods Market near you.

You know you have coats you don’t wear. I, for example, have a shimmery, puffy coat that, for some reason, I can’t seem to wear out of the house (other than to walk to the dog). It’s the perfect thing to bring to Merge’s coat drive happening now through Saturday, January 14. Bring in a gently used coat and get 15 percent off anything in the store. Bring two coats for 30 percent off. Now where’s my puffy coat with the fur-trimmed hood?

It’s the sales I truly love about Januarys.

Everyone’s cleaning up to make room for spring merchandise. Take Gameday Cloth, for example. The Mockingbird Station pop-up is shutting down, and everything is 25 percent off. Shop until this Saturday, January 14.

Nest is hosting a Big !@#$ Sale. (Their words, not mine.) All kinds of things from furniture to gifts are on sale for 30 to 50 percent off all month.

Facebookers, go click “like” for Flirt Boutique, and you’ll get 20 percent off your purchase throughout January. If you already “like” them (electronically, speaking), you get the deal, too.

Don’t forget the 50 to 75 percent off at L.Bartlett and the buy one, get 50 percent off deal at REUSE.

All L.bartlett wanted for Christmas was a renovation, and it got one. Last week, the shop was off duty to shoppers, while expanding its delicious merchandise into the neighboring space. More dressing rooms, more delightful duds, and more shelves full of shoes make up the bigger and better boutique. Even more exciting, in honor of the newly styled digs, they’re hosting a “Remodel Sale,” with all of fall and holiday wear on sale for 50 to 75 percent off. Go now.

On Wednesday, January 25, V Spa’s Sonya Dakar specialist, Jennifer O’Connor, and an in-house aesthetician are performing complimentary, 25-minute Express facials from 10 am to 7 pm. Grab a slot, and you’ll also receive a goodie bag with some Sonya Dakar samples to take home. I’m sure there will be a pitch to purchase a treatment and/or products, but if you go for it and purchase a treatment over $175, you’ll get a “complimentary” full bottle of Sonya Dakar face wash. Sounds good to me. Book now.
