Given there's now 33 working days until the next public holiday, it might be time to give some serious consideration to your winter wardrobe. Good thing the coming week is crammed with sales.
This one is pretty huge. Iconic label sass & bide has taken over the large pop-up space in Chapel Street for a three-day mega sale, with prices slashed by up to 75 per cent.
The location is a parking nightmare so best to leave your car nearby at the Vogue Centre, or take public transport so you can celebrate your bargains with a glass of bubbles afterwards.
671 Chapel Street, South Yarra. Friday 9am-4pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, Sunday 10am-3pm.

A woman can never have too many accessories, so the Elk Accessories sale is well worth the 20-minute drive from town.
