Off we go...


We’ve caught our breath after another exhilarating and crazy Sidewalk Sale and we're headed for our next adventure.

Jeanie, Jocelyn and I are packing our bags with fabulous shoes and cool summer dresses and taking off New York City! If you've not been to the Big Apple in August, I can assure you it is two things. Hot. And. Humid. 



But...it is also inspiring! There is nothing like getting out of your own backyard to renew yourself.

We’re attending CURVE NY at the Javits Center and will be checking out all the new trends and collections for next spring - I can't wait!

For me, though, buying trips are more than just seeing the next season’s collections.  Whether we're in NYC or Paris, just walking the streets of these cities offers no end of visual inspiration. I can actually feel the creative energy that comes from the sights on practically on every corner.  It could be an outfit I see someone wearing, a window display, a pair of shoes, a billboard, a fabulous meal…I never know when I’m going to have my socks knocked off by something super cool. 

And this trip, I'm going to capture these creative moments and share them with you,  because everyone can use a little inspiration!  

Keep an eye on the blog and our Facebook page.  I’ll be snapping pics to post of whatever beautiful, creative, or unique, person, place or thing we come across strikes my fancy. 

Now to get Bella to sit on this suitcase so it will close...

Love,
Cindy

Wow. Just wow.





  • One gigantic tent.
  • Four days of crazy.
  • Twenty-two helpful SOL girls and fitters.
  • Four thousand Hanky Panky's.
  • Hundreds of fun and friendly customers.


Thanks to you all for another amazing Sidewalk Sale. We are tired and happy and grateful and love all of you!  And now, we're taking...


Two days off. :-)


The store will be closed Monday and Tuesday. We'll be back bright eyed and ready to rock on Wednesday morning!

The most fun you'll have on a sidewalk.

It's Sidewalk Sale time again!  

Now, read that like Oprah is saying it... Sidewaaaaalk Saaaaaaaale! 

Me and my favorite things in the world...
beautiful sale bras making their way to the Sidewalk Sale!
We. Love. It.

Because we get to see so many of you - having so much fun! Digging through bins, finding treasures, unexpected surprises, running into friends doing exactly the same thing! It's crazy non-stop madness and we look forward to it all year long.

And it's right now, July 21st through Sunday, July 24.

Here's our favorite SOL SWS Survival Tips...learn them. Know them. Tell your friends.

#1 - Check out the website! Most of the things you'll find at the sale are posted there on our SALE page.

#2  - Don't pay for parking no matter how much you want to. Because every one of us is carrying around a pocket full of tokens for the meters and we LOVE to share them. Just ask.

#3 - If you'll need a fitting room, put your name on the list as soon as you get here. The wait times vary, but this way, you'll have a room when you're ready.

#4 - When it gets hot shopping at other CCN stores, come back and visit us. We'll have the misters running the whole time and we love it when you stop by to cool off.

#5 - "Like" SOL on Facebook for fun contests during the Sale, and win SOL Bucks!

#6 - Be thorough. Look in every box, on every table. Look under the tables! You're not going to believe how much stuff is here!

#7 - Come back!  The best selection is early in the sale...but the discounts get bigger as the sale goes on! Saturday is an additional 20% off the sale price and Sunday is...are you ready?  35% OFF the lowest sale price!  And since there's so much to see, you'll find something new every time. It just makes good sense to show up everyday.

We can't wait to see YOU this year! 

xoxo,
Cindy

It's almost that time of year....


What's better than the Sidewalk Sale?  


Um, NOTHING. It's like Christmas and and New Year's and the 4th of July all wrapped up in to four super busy, super fun, crazy awesome days of getting to see all of you get all kinds of lovelies at serious discounts.

I. Love. It. We all do! Setting up the tent, sorting the bras, firing up the misters and dumping hundreds of Hanky Pankies into bins. Yay!



It's right around the corner - July 20 to 24! 
We're hard at work getting ready. What can you do?

Start by keeping an eye out on the new SALE section of the website!  

Call your BFFs and tell them to block off some time on their calendar. Shopping's more fun with friends!

Uh oh. You're out of town during the sale?  Just call us. Out of town shoppers can place phone orders now through the the 24th. We promise not to tease you about poor planning.

• Come in. Snoop around. Make your plan.

Most important? "Like" SOL-Store of Lingerie on Facebook. We'll have fun tips, contests and great finds posted there throughout the month!



Can't wait to see you at this year's big SWS - it's always a blast!

Love, 
Cindy
