As in years past, Lighthouse International's 37th Annual POSH Sale is expected to be a mob scene when it opens to the public on Thursday May 14. All proceeds will benefit the organization's services for those who are visually impaired. A couple of fellow bloggers got a special preview of some of the choice offers.

When I use to live in Nolita, I would stop by the chic little shop on Prince Street to check out the season's new styles. For months, I've been waiting for this sale to finally take place. So [...]
