    Barneys 2nd Markdown

    Barneys started their second markdown today online and in stores. Most sale merchandise is now 60% off. There is still a wide assortment of fall/winter shoes, bags and ready-to-wear. Another markdown may come but most of the stuff you want will be gone by then.

    The Barneys markdown is great because it includes an impressive assortment of shoes and bags too. A Mark Cross bag is $1200 from $3000 and a Givenchy Obsedia is $1200 from $3000. Among the shoes there is Prada riding boots $600 from $1500, Saint Laurent creepers are $439 from $1100 and suede Manolo BBs are $240 from $600.

    Among the clothing we found a red draped Lanvin dress for $879 from $2200, a Givenchy sweater is $619 from $1550, a Carven sweatshirt is $159 from $400 and a Thakoon Addiction hooded cape is $399 from $990.

    There should be one more markdown before the season comes to a close but there are usually not many desirable options. Shop now for the prime assortment, shop later for the irresistible prices.

    Roger Vivier Sale

    Roger Vivier’s seasonal sale is usually a well kept secret that’s only accessible to customers who have previously shopped at the boutique and paid full price. This year, however, most anyone can take advantage of the Vivier sale.

    A large assortment of classic and updated Viviers are 30% to 40% off. The sale started on Black Friday but there is still a large selection of styles and sizes available. Basic flats come to about $450 from $600 and boots that normally retail for $1100 and are reduced to $660.

    You can buy shoes on-line via their e-commerce website but the discount is only available in the boutique. You can see pictures from our sale hunt right this way.

    Saks Begins Second Markdown

    It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Everywhere we go there are sales but we are still waiting for more. Today, Saks Fifth Avenue granted our wish and kicked off their second markdown, which brings yesterday’s discount of 40%– down to 60% off.

    The remaining small assortment of bags and shoes are still just 30% off. If you want to shop the good discounts you’re going to have to sort through the clothing options. A Stella McCartney abstract zipper sweatshirt is nearly affordable at $385 from $1070, an asymmetrical Marni peplum blouse is $259 from $723, a 3.1 Phillip Lim ‘Cash Only’ sweatshirt is $135 from $375. If you look carefully you can still find some of this season’s most iconic pieces, like the Stella McCartney squiggly face coat and the embellished Marni midi-skirt.

    The sale is just online for now, but we bet that a store manager can easily make adjustments. The markdown becomes official in stores on Friday.

    Shopbop: Extra 20% Off Sale

    Just in time for the last minute holiday rush, Shopbop is offering an extra 20% off sale items. The extra discount brings the ultimate markdown up to 75% off. Just use the code EXTRASALE at checkout.

    Browsing through the 70% off section, which is final sale, we found a Jason Wu fringe moto jacket that comes to $1200 from $5200. (Perhaps it was priced too high to begin with?) A Elle Sasson long sleeve cropped blouse is $75 from about $300. Moving up the discount food chain to 60% off, there is a Cedric Charlier military inspired shirt dress that comes to $450 from $1425, a Dion Lee skirtt is $190 from $575 and a Versace sleeveless knit dress is about $530 from $1395.

    The sale is only three days and ends on Wednesday at midnight. This is the best deal you can expect, outside of Shopbop’s friends and family sale. If you ask us, seems like a good opportunity to plan for New Years.

    Gift Guide: What to Get the Brearley Girl

    New York private school girls are a most interesting specimen. They have more academic pressure than most first year law students but many are more entitled than a Goldman senior VP. To watch them in their natural habitat one only need to take a ride on the 79th Street, cross town bus.

    Shopping for these girls is no easy task. The bar is high but taking a step off the deep end of restraint is easier than Serena van der Woodson. Below is a gift guide that can satisfy the private school girl, from Brearley to Trinity. Click here to see the full list of gift ideas.
