Hot summer sales

End of the summer season means sales aplenty. Boutiques are clearing racks to make room for fall collections—and setting up great savings for consumers. Take advantage of a renovation sale at Carriages Ladies Store. Sale merchandise from spring and summer—which was 40% to 60% off—is now an additional 15% off. And the new updated décor is fresh and inviting. For a sale on shoes, clothing and accessories, head to Hemline for its “Yard Sale” today through Saturday. Deals can be found from $10 to $100. Bella Bella is having a shoe sale through the month of August: buy one, get one 50% off. In addition to fortifying its discount racks, Chatta Box is gearing up for fall by hosting a Lafayette 148 trunk show Aug. 9-11. Now is the time to go boutique hopping.
