Neiman Marcus has never hosted a friends and family sale but there is no time like the present. Right now, shoppers can save 20% off a selection of full price items. Use the code FRIENDME to engage the discount.
Among the shoes, you can apply the discount to Manolo Blahnik . We suggest you use this opportunity to snag your favorite style Hangisi, which often don't go on sale in the full assortment of colors and hight options.
Although this friends & family promotion is novel, Neiman Marcus is boasting major sale discounts. Right now, the designer markdown is 55% off plus an additional 25%, which brings the total savings so 65% off. Tom Ford leather pants are $900 from $2400, Laurence Dacade studded ankle boots are about $400 from $1400 and an Edie Parket clutch is $850 from $1700.
All these items would make amazing gift options too!...
We know that you are at least slightly tech competent if you're a blog reader. Techie gifts used to be geared towards men but women enjoy modernization as much as the next guy. This holiday season there is a full corp of wanna-try and must have techie and travel items. Below is a compilation of some of our favorites.
1. If you updated your iPhone to a 7, chances are you miss using your favorite headphones. Without a headphone jack we've been forced to experiment with bluetooth speakers but many of us just want old pair back. If this is the case, there is the Mpow's Bluetooth Adaptor, a nifty little attachment that bridges the gap between your bluetooth device and your favorite plug-in. The beat part is that it's just $32 and can be used with any speaker.
2. Everyone has a thing for Alexa these days. The Echo Dot is Amazon's award winning smart hands-free, voice-controlled device that plays music, controls smart home devices, provides information on demand, reads the news, sets alarms and cooks dinner. (Just kidding about the last feature.) Basically, for $40 you can have a fantastic speaker and order your Prime items just by vocalizing your order. (Be careful of the kids getting wind of this feature!)
3. Okay, the Rimowa Salsa is just a suitcase. It won't even charge your phone but it looks great and you can pack all your techie gear inside. As a packing tip, we always take a large bag and a smaller one. Spreading your belongings among two cases will assure that you're never overweight. We especially like the combination of the 29" with the 26". Take note, Louis Vuitton purchased the Rimowa brand earlier this year and we wouldn't be surprised if prices began to quickly rise.
4. There are a lot of things we put on a pedestal. So why shouldn't your phone charge on a marble base? The Native Union marble iPhone charger ($130) looks super chic on a kitchen counter and assures you don't drop your phone in the sink.
5. We all know that New York winters are brutal. The lack of sunshine only makes the sub-zero temperatures even more unbearable. Many people find that mornings are a lot easier with gradual natural light rousing you from your sleep. The Verily Rise & Shine( $49) allows you to choose your light level, slumber sounds and will help you count down the days to Spring.
There are just a few days before Christmas and there isn't a lot of time to pick up last minute gifts. Almost all of our favorite stores have taken a second markdown. One can expect to universally save 60% on women's clothing but if you're in the market for shoes are bags, the discounts vary greatly.
Warm up with top quality down jackets for $200 and fur lined fur parkas priced at about $400. Knit hats with fox pom-poms are just $25 and make an excellent holiday gift. The sale also includes lots of full luxe furs. Get moving now because showroom is only open to the public through Friday and Winter hasn't even started.

You can scroll through the slideshow above to see more of our favorite sale items and gift picks.
Staying warm and stylish is never easy when it's this cold. When temperatures drop there is no better way to keep warm than in fur.
Just in time for the cold snap, Annabelle is hosting what's sure to be an amazing sample sale of high quality fur coats, vests, jackets and accessories. We are told that prices will be well under wholesale.
The three-day sale will include a variety of luxury furs and outerwear that will be priced up to 80% off. The sale will include fur-lined parkas priced at just $400 and down parkas will be priced from $200.
The sample sale will also include a vareity of cold winter accessories, like knit hats with fur pom-poms for under $40. (Seems like a perfect holiday gift to me!) Of course, you will also be able to find an assortment of high quality coats ranging from a full mink to fox and other exotic skins.
Once you're geared-up and looking great, it won't matter even if it's cold, cold, freezing.

'Tis the season of markdowns and shopping. Net-A-Porter started their second markdown today. The online luxury retailer has reduced prices up to 70% off and many popular style bags and fashion are still in stock.
The clothing options that are discounted 70% off seem infinite. From a Balmain minidress that's perfect to ring in the New Year or this Balmain black-and-white coat that's as on trend as you can get. It's really hard to choose. We even found this very popular Mr. & Mrs. Italy fur parka that was just reduced 40%.
The new markdowns just launched this morning but we already see items low in stock and selling out. We suggest you pile up that cart and edit before you're done.
This is a huge week for retailers and your last chance to finalize your holiday shopping list and not pay extra for shipping. Retailers are only adding to your temptation by taking second markdowns. Bergdorf Goodman is the latest store to start promoting additional discounts. The sale hasn't gone public yet but you can access the additional discount with this VIP link.
Handbags are now 50% off, which is excellent except the online selection isn't very good. A Valentino Rocketed bag is $2000 from $4000 and a Givenchy
Shark satchel is $800 from $1600. The shoe collection, on the other hand, is excellent. The markdown is 50% off and the selection is top-notch. Valentino ballet flats are about $500 from $1000 and Gianvito Rossi nude pumps are about $317 from $635. Careful, some styles are still only 30% off.
We suggest you pounce on this second markdown right away. It's not often that Bergdorfs goes toe-to-toe with Barneys this early in the season. (Shoe pun intended.)
