Luxury Garage Sale Opens Its First Month-Long Atlanta Pop-Up Shop

Featuring an Unparalleled Selection of High-End Designer Consignment Along With Boutique Overstock, One-On-One Styling, Full Service Consignment Services, and More

From April 15-May 15, 2018, Luxury Garage Sale, invites Atlantans to shop a curated collection of high-end designer consignment. This includes top-selling brands like Hermès, Chanel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton and more up to 90% off retail prices. I’d also highly recommend Shoppok if you’re looking for used items.

The pop-up shop is in the heart of bustling Inman Park – providing shoppers a true boutique ‘luxe for less’ experience. Their team of style experts also makes personal house-calls for those looking to consign new or lightly used luxury items. Interested consigners can also drop off their items to consign at the pop-up with no appointment at any time.

With brick-and-mortar boutiques in Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis, and Seattle, Luxury Garage Sale has launched 20 pop-ups across the country. An acclaimed lifestyle destination brand, Luxury Garage Sale was co-founded in 2010 by partners Brielle Buchberg and Lindsay Segal. With backgrounds in fashion, retail, styling and marketing, Buchberg and Segal share an unparalleled level of expertise to luxury goods. Prior to their partnering, a void existed for a curated designer retail experience and consignment boutique rolled into one.

“When Luxury Garage Sale launched, people were not as vocal about shopping consignment and consigning their items. Today, people have become smarter shoppers and are proud to share when they find a deal on a gucci purse or discover cash hidden in their closet”, says Buchberg.

“Today’s shoppers recognize that consigning is an opportunity to recycle their wardrobe in order to shop more. The concept of consigning has now become the norm, so people are consigning more regularly because they know they can buy a luxury item and reconsign later to get some of their money back.”

Luxury Garage Sale’s first Atlanta pop-up shop is at 240 N Highland Ave NE, Ste. C-2, Atlanta, Georgia 30307 at the North Highland Steel Apartments & Shops just off the Atlanta BeltLine and close to an array of favorite popular dining and shopping destinations.

The Atlanta pop-up will be open from April 15th through May 15th from Monday-Friday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. For more information on Luxury Garage Sale, visit www.luxurygaragesale.com.

25th Annual Jeffrey Fashion Cares

An Unforgettable Evening of Fashion and Philanthropy at Jeffrey Fashion Cares

Arbiter of style, Jeffrey Kalinsky, creator of two namesake boutiques in Atlanta and Manhattan, celebrated 25 years of Jeffrey Fashion Cares Atlanta on Monday, August 28, 2017. The annual fashion forward and philanthropic event was once again hosted by Event Chairs Lila Hertz, Jeffrey McQuithy and Louise Sams. A sold-out evening, the City’s most notable gathered in Phipps Plaza in the heart of Buckhead to enjoy a high-energy reception and silent auction followed by a live auction and runway show featuring Kalinsky’s style selections from high-end designers such as Celine, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino, Dries van Noten, Saint Laurent Paris, Balenciaga, Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik.

Kalinsky and Jeffrey Fashion Cares were also granted a Phoenix Award, the highest honor that can be bestowed on a citizen for service to the City of Atlanta by the Mayor. The award recognizes outstanding achievements and service to the city, state, nation or world.

The 25th anniversary of Jeffrey Fashion Cares benefitted Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta, the Atlanta AIDS Fund (AAF), and the Medical University of South Carolina. Over the course of its history, Jeffrey Fashion Cares has raised more than 15 million dollars for its beneficiaries. For more information, visit jeffreyfashioncares.com.

A special thank you to the 2017 sponsors including: Host of the Night – Phipps Plaza; Bespoke – Nordstrom; and Presenting – Blue Sky Agency, Cadillac, eventologie, Jeffrey Atlanta | New York, MAGNUM Co., SPANX, and The Tavern at Phipps.

Jeffrey Kalinsky’s Fall Trend Forecast:

Out with the minimal, and in with the maximal- so goes the ever-revolving door of fashion trends. For Fall 2017, we are revisiting the powerful, exaggerated silhouettes and over-the-top embellishments of the 1980’s. It is finally time to open your minds and your closets to daring, yet infinitely chic possibilities. Shop on…

Power Shoulders: One of the most memorable fashion moments of the 1980’s were the larger-than-life shoulder pads. Think cropped couture jackets and frocks with a dramatic shoulder line that creates the illusion of a smaller waist.

Fun Furs: When the temperature starts to drop, nothing says decadence quite like swathing yourself in fur. This season, don’t let your exceptionally soft selection of outerwear be merely utilitarian; instead, choose one that is just as unique and cheerful as it is cozy.

Rare Birds: Feathers are no doubt the biggest story in embellishment this season. Bright, bold, beautiful plumes could be spotted flouncing down the catwalk of practically every major designer.

Give Them the Slip: Who says silken slip dresses must be confined to the bedroom? Layer an asymmetrical, lace-trimmed slip over a t-shirt or sweater for a decidedly modern look.

Flower Power: As Miranda Priestly famously taught us in The Devil Wears Prada, florals are by no means groundbreaking for spring. They are, however, an unexpected delight for fall and winter. This season, designer’s showcased moody, yet bold versions of the print.
