A loyal Barneys sales associate tipped us off to a secret code that can save you 15% off on almost everything at the store. Use the code FEB15 to engage the discount at checkout. Some brands like Chanel, Gucci and Celine are excluded but there are still lots of luxury items from which to apply the savings.
We were most surprised to find that Delvaux is also included in the promo. If you've been coveting a Tempete bag we suggest you bounce for it now. We've never seen a discount on any of these bags and 15% off an MM size can save you over $750.
A 15% savings isn't usually earth shattering but some of these items really just arrived at the store and won't make it to sale season. We suggest you pick one or two pieces that you've been eyeing and enjoy the little bit of savings. The promotion sale ends on March 2....
As far as I'm concerned Marie Kondo doesn't know anything about joy. Could you imagine if Iris Apfel colonized all her belongings and abandoned anything that wasn't necessary? Who would Anna Dello Russo be without her archives? The world would definitely be less fortunate if Peggy Guggenheim simply tossed her Man Ray dresses.
If you want to know the meaning of real joy, it's opening your closet and wearing an item you've had for over a decade. I will never give up my embroidered Future Ozbeck bellbottom jeans that I've had for over two decades but only worn three times. My ridiculous buffalo leather Tom Ford skirt with jeweled rings down the seams doesn't even fit but I don't care. These items are a part of who I am.
This season, I am most excited to dust off my old Chanel 90s jackets. The combination of Karl Largerfeld's passing and the resurrection of the 90s is the perfect recipe for the rebirth of the tweed jacket. The updated look is paired with rolled up boyfriend jeans. You can also go full-on Paris Hilton 90s and pair yours with a miniskirt.
Chanel vintage is much more alluring than anything new. If you don't already have a Chanel jacket on on hand, I suggest you begin stalking Ebay and TheRealReal. Just don't go too crazy and overspend. I would suggest keeping your purcahse between $300 and $800.
Once last piece of advice: be thoughtful about what you buy. I might not subscribe to the Marie Kondo mathod of abandoning your belongings but I do believe that you should really love everything you own. Luxury fashion is less about accumulation and more about life enhancment....
For a long time, department stores have been luring shoppers with gift card shopping incentives. We'd prefer a straight discount over a gift card any day. It's always more attractive to save money now than be offered the promise of a gift card in the future-- especially when it's likely to expire.
Good thinking: Shopbop is offering a shopping discount incentive that increases with the more you spend. The best part is that we just got early access. You can start shopping now and use the code GOBIG19 at checkout.
The sale opens to the public on Tuesday and the promotion runs through Saturday, March 2. The next big Shopbop deal doesn't usually take place until early April....
Moda Operandi ended it's sale season a few weeks earlier than usual. We were a little sad to see some pieces go but we never have a problem finding something new. For this reason, we were very excited to be given a VIP link for 30% off some new collection items.
The best part of this sale is that there are lots of bags from Boyy, Danse Lente, Marni, and Cult Gaia are included in the private sale. You can use this link to access the selection and then use the code PRIVATE30 to engage the discount at checkout.
Nordstrom just kicked off a late winter sale where discounts run to 50% off. The big standout is the great selection of Moncler jackets. Unfortunately, the markdown on most Moncler items is just 25% off but even small discounts can add up to hefty savings on big-ticket purchases.
This Nordstrom sale runs through February 24. We are just waiting for the Louboutin discounts to hit the site but that might just be wishful thinking....
We initially thought there would be a few good President Day sales, but there is nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. It appears as if the early sale season has translated to a holiday weekend with no good retail sale merchandise.
Fine, there's nothing to buy right now but just wait for Tuesday. Bergdorf Goodman will begin an online sale where all sale merchandise is an additional 30% off. The best part is that Bergdorf just added Moncler to its online sale section and we believe that the French brand will be included in the extra discount. The extra discount would bring most of the Moncler selection to 50% off retail.
We would definitely add this turquoise puffer to our cart as it will be just about $600 after the additional discount. This kid's hat will be $110 from $240 and this girl's hooded jacket will be about $330.
We wouldn't suggest sale-ing through the store. All the discount merchandise has already been shipped out. We are just waiting for it to officially upload to Neiman Marcus Last Call. This promotion will run through Saturday.
We are all just getting over the heartbreak and disappointment of Valentine's Day but there is a reason why retail therapy is a highly recommended component of psychotherapy. (It is? Right?) A good sale heavily aids any recovery process. Throw in a few designer names, some hot shoes and handbags and you have a formula for instant mental wellness.
Global Fashions is offering just the right cocktail for any heartbreak or inner fulfillment. Starting Monday, you will be able to shop a variety of Stuart Weitzman shoes, boots and sandals at 72% off retail. The sale will also include M. Missoni accessories and other Italian designer shoes and bags, which will be reduced 72% off. Clothing markdowns will range from 70% to 80% off retail.
During a sale preview, we spotted these Stuart Weitzman nude sandals that just came into stores for $128 from $455, stretch stain low boots are $161 from $575 and studded high stretch boots are $223 from $798. We also saw limited sizes of Highlands, Tielands, and Midlands. You can click over this way to see pictures.
The selection doesn't end there. We also found a great assortment of Valentino designer handbags. A pink and burgundy color blocked bag is only $642 from $2295, a gorgeous black-on-black Rockstud tote is $740 from $2645 and a mini-Rockstud single is $526 from $1880. Click for pics.
Sweetheart gifts are always nice but these sales are a great opportunity to fill your wardrobe with some serious fashion at killer prices. We are crazy for this a camel color Valentino military-inspired jacket that's 80% off or $900 from $4490 and silk tunic is about $300 from $1490. Red Valentino is discounted 75% and a sunny yellow lace dress comes to about $250 from $950 and a ruffled trench is the same price. You can click over and see pictures.
Remember, to mark your calendar because the sale starts on Monday and will only run for three days. We are told that there won't be restocking and you can expect those Stuart Weitzman shoes and cute pink bags to go very quickly.

The occupation of Fashion Spy has its perks. One of the highlights is getting discounts on even the newest and most wanted items of the season. For years, Shop375 has been my personal secret source on getting current season Chanel, Fendi, and Balenciaga.
You wouldn't believe the number of things I've amassed from the Shop375. After years and years of requests, Shop375 is giving us the best Valentines day gift we can imagine and launching its online store to the public. Right now, you can save 20% on just-in-stores Chanel shoes. We already put dibs on these Chanel leather espidrilles that are $635 from a retail price of $795.
You will also find a great assortment of streetwear for both men and woman. There are selections from Amiri, Stone Island, and Marcelo Burlon. Men will also be thrilled to score Canali suits for 60% off and Cucinelli for 70% off.
The site just publically launched today and is running a giveaway on a Goyard wallet. We would suggest entering to win and bookmarking the site for frequent stalking. I got a sneak peek of what's to come and think you will be just as excited as me. After all, it's hard to find discounts on authentic, in-season merchandise and now it's online and accessible.
