Samaroos in Trinidad has a 50% sale on this weekend (remember they now open on Sundays) so it is prime time for getting all the necessary sequins, glitter, spray paint, glue, beads and feathers needed to decorate boots, bling cups and even to spruce up your costume. I will be checking out the sale personally in a few hours as I need supplies to decorate my boots.
For those of you not in Trinidad however you can get supplies online at stores that sell trim and braid . However if you live in New York it is best to visit them in person as two bloggers did last weekend. Squeezle and Franny braved the cold and headed downtown, covering several blocks, to score some "bling" for boots and for their costumes.

As a bonus you can also scour the area for some accessories on the cheap! Remember to negotiate the best prices as well as it is a huge area with lots of shops so be prepared to do a lot of walking. So grab a girl friend and go get some bling!

Umm where in Ny is this?? I would like to go - what blocks do i need to cover?
sweetrini I had the store and full address listed this morning but was contacted by designers and asked to take it down! Anyway it is in Broadway! That is all I can say.
They're turning down free advertising?! What business school did these people go to?!
Husbands' sitting area??? LMAO.
No SLK not the store, the designers who shop there complained that I am letting out their secrets lol.
It's not that much of a secret, if you work in or around midtown you know that all the bead stores are on 6th ave .....
wait the designers don't own the stores.. dat is foolishness!!
thanks 4 d info...will be headin to samaroos bright and early...hmm suacy i really eh know how i woulda make it without ur blog and my fren who addicted to the mas yes....truly a place for carnival virgins to get in the know
Sale is bogus.... it's not 50% off for everybody at all and it certainly isn't on all items. I got $1.57 off of my bill. Granted it was still less than $20. I think the sale is an unofficial one. There are no signs to indicate and the discount is applied only if you ask at the cashier and only if the manager deems you worthy.. and even then the amount is variable.. just know it is "up to 50%" so 0.01% you might be lucky. My discount was 8.9%. WoooHoooo.
