Once again, Gilt City is rolling out the red carpet for New York City sample sale customers, providing VIP treatment with early shopping access for the best selection of styles and sizes. This time around, they're making it easy to check out Alice + Olivia's embellished clothing before the sample sale opens to the public on Tuesday, December 8th with $10 tickets to shop alongside invited guests during the Monday evening prior.

If last season's sale is any indication, you can expect to bypass the morning crowds to find your pick of sequins, sparkles and general shininess on skirts, tops, and dresses, just in time for the holiday party circuit. It's not the cheapest sale out there, with most items priced at more than $100 — but on the bright side, everything was under $300. Check out the Dealfeed below to see where and when you can shop non-VIP hours.
