Nowadays you can shop for Zara anywhere in the world or anyplace with WiFi but insiders know that not all Zara stores are created equally. Our favorite Manhattan location is the mid-town Fifth Avenue store. This particular location is luxurious, has lots of inventory and has always has great limited edition merchandise.
When it's time to shop Zara sale, there is no better place to go. If you're looking for shoes we couldn't recommend a better place. Most styles are priced between $39 and $69 from $70 to $120. We found lots of these leather and mesh high-heel shoe booties, these metal plate sandals and a variety of these white Birkenstishes. Styles not online, include lizard embossed slip-on-sneakers, pointy toe flats and black mesh heel-booties.
Most of the best looking bags are not on sale but we are rather fond of this perforated bucket bag for $99 from $139. Besides the bucket, there wasn't anything remarkable.
Focusing on clothing, there is a lot. There are these lightweight coats in blue or yellow for $90 from $160, all types of jeans and pants for $59 and shorts and skirts for $29. This location also has lots of swimsuits (that aren't on the web) at $15 for a bikini bottom or $30 for a one piece.
There still seems to be a healthy amount of merchandise in Zara stores. We wouldn't be surprised if the sale continued for a few more weeks in stores and through the end of the month online. Click here to see photos from our shopping excursion.
The discount at Saks Fifth Avenue goes to 70% off starting Wednesday. The online sale started today but, as usual, the in-store assortment is much better. Beware, since Hudson Bay Company purchased Saks, they have created new rules. All third markdowns are final sale. We are told that these rules are strict and there are absolutely no backsies.
As you head out for the holiday weekend, it's hard not to wonder what you might be missing inside the store. To quench your curiosity we scoured every cranny of the Saks flagship to bring you a virtual shopping experience. After the jump we have more than 50 pictures of sale merchandise. Links are added to items that can also still be found online.
We started out hunt on the main floor where there are still a few bags left from the prior markdowns. We found this Alexander McQueen clutch that's now $898 from $2245. A floral print Jimmy Choo beach bag is $550 from $1095 and quilted Lanvin Happy bags are about $1200 from $2420. You see more pics of sale bags over here.
Heading to the third floor, designer clothing, there is still a great variety of summer fashion ripe for the picking. Today the discount is 60% but tomorrow it will all be 70% off. We found a stylish Prabal Gurung jacket that comes to $840 from $2800, a blue floral Peter Philotto dress is $537 from $1792, an Antonion Berardi fishtail dress is about $650 from $2100 and a colorful Mary Katrantzou dress is also about $600 from $2020. There is still a small selection of Chanel clothing at 40% off. We are told that there will be no further markdowns but we wouldn't be surprised if another discount was taken in a few weeks.
In the shoe department, on eight, there is a huge variety of shoes. The assortment is really staggering. Almost all shoes will hit 70% off. The only exceptions are Louboutin and Chanel, which are still only 30% off. While browsing, we found Saint Laurent studded leather pumps for under $400 from about $1100, a Miu Miu wave d'Orse for $243 from $675 and Jimmy Choo PVC high heel sandals for $450 from $900. Jump, jump, jump to see more than 30 pictures of sale shoes.
Moda Operandi is hosting a summer sale where some of the most stylish designer items from the season are discounted 70%. M'O is still one of those insider laces to shop and is often the destination where we tend to find those pieces that are otherwise sold out.
Check out this Delpozo dress. It's is on the edge of trend change--moving away from bodycon-- and is $1140 from $3800. A Carven poplin dress with midriff cutouts is perhaps more wearable and affordable at $225 from $750 and these Harve Faircloth wide-legged white pants are absolutely perfect for $110 from $365.
There are really a lot of great pieces in the sale section. You can scroll through the photos above to see our favorites. The site says that these are the final reductions. We'll keep an eye out on markdowns and hope another comes our way before the site switches over to fall....
If you ever wanted the opportunity to shop a huge inventory of discounted Hermès, Chanel and Louis Vuitton then you won't want to miss Portero.com's Summer Sale event. During their 36-hour promotion, customers will save an additional 20% off over 200 featured handbags, jewelry, and accessories. The sale only runs from noon ET Sunday until midnight ET on June 30th.
This week, we were able to get a sneak peak of what's to come. With the special 20% off, we found a small Chanel handbag for just over $1000, a men’s Rolex Datejust 2T with a champagne diamond dial and diamond bezel for under $4800, and a jewel encrusted Marchesa box clutch for approximately $1600.
We could go on and on pointing out great items to buy, but half the fun is browsing through their beautiful new website. Just keep in mind that the promotion ends once the clock strikes midnight on Monday. We suggest that you don’t hesitate, because this sale is expected to sell out fast. Visit here to start shopping your most coveted items!
The discounts at Intermix are climbing quickly. Right now, many clearance items are discounted 60% and most everything on sale is discounted an additional 30%. The only downside is that all reduced items are final sale.
We were searching the sale selection online and found this Markus Lupfer lips tee that comes to $41 from $150, this updated-skort is $50 from $225, a croc embossed Yigal Azrouel leather jacket comes to $600 from almost $2000 and Valentino camo flats com ego $460 from almost $1100.
The site also has a pretty good selection of sunglasses that are all about 50% off. It's not a bad idea to put a $100 cap on sunnies, considering how they are the one of the most commonly lost items....
While it's always a welcome sight to see spring merchandise in December, it's disconcerting to watch the unveiling of fall 2014 before July. Spending full price on that merchandise is should just be downright illegal.
Hey, maybe you have a summer ski trip to South America or are planning an expedition to the Arctic Circle? Either way, we still prefer an itty bitty bikini to heavy knits....
