FONTAINEBLEAU’S ANNUAL RETAIL SALE RETURNS

Hello, my name is Ginger, and I will do anything for designer shoes on sale.

For instance, I’ll be up at the crack of dawn, waiting—claws sharpened—at the Fontainebleau’s Annual Retail Sale Friday at 10 a.m.

Why? Oh, because last year, I snatched up not one but two pairs of Valentino shoes, including these bowed beauties, and a pair of booties that have stopped people dead in their tracks. Guess how much I paid for them? Next to nothing. Yup, 80 percent off. But it’s not just shoes at this must-shop sale. You’ll find women’s, men’s and kids designer apparel, swimwear and accessories from IDAandHARRY, Lapis Retail, Aquamarine, Bleau Signature and Morris & Co., all at up to 80 percent off. That would be 80 percent off brands like Emilio Pucci, Dsquared2, Giuseppe Zanotti, Nancy Gonzalez, Philipp Plein, Barbara Bui, J Brand, Splits 59, Eberjay, Sundek, Vilebrequin, Delfina, Eres, Fisico and more.

The 4-day sale takes place in the hotel’s Sparkle Ballroom from August 14 through 17. Non-hotel guests will receive discounted $12 valet parking.

So to recap:

WHEN: August 14 through 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and August 17 at 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

WHERE: Sparkle West Ballroom at Fontainebleau Miami Beach, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, Fla. 33140

See you there. I’ll be the one with the armload of shoes—obviously.
