For the March run of Concept Los Angeles fashion week, the L.A.-based S&G Clothing label showed its custom-made leather jackets and sheer black tops. For those who checked out Prince's 2010 European tour, the iconic musician wore S&G Clothing. But on May 7, S&G reserved the night for some basic business.

Luckyshops, the two-day shopstravaganza (my word, not theirs) hosted by Lucky magazine for seven years in NYC, is coming out west in April. April 8-9, to be specific, at Siren Studios in Hollywood.

Luckyshops features designer goods at up to 70 percent off. A list of designers hasn't been announced for the L.A. sale yet, but if past designers are any indication (DVF, Jill Stuart, Thread Social, Shareen Vintage, Vena Cava), this could be nice. Reeeaaaal nice.

You can buy admission tix here.

Behind the rain clouds that L.A.’s been drenched under these past few days is the silver lining of a Christmas weekend. But if you haven’t started on any of your X-Mas shopping yet, you’re probably dreading the last-minute scramble to avoid the mortification of any re-gifting disasters.

Some local brands and retailers hear your pain and are continuing to offer up discounts and sales from now until well past New Year’s.
