January 1, 2015

Popping champagne, confetti falling and long kisses are some of the strongest associations with New Years. Truth be told, when the clock strikes midnight, it’s more often a situation of drunkenness or depression. Why not start the New Year recovering by indulging in extreme savings on designer luxuries?

Online luxury discounter, Amuze, just posted a flash sale of shoes, bags and and accessories. In honor of the New Year, the site is offering an additional 20% off for a total savings of up to 85%. Just use the code 2015 to receive the extra discount.

Check out these Gucci snakeskin platforms that will come to just about $225 from almost $1150. Over here, is a gorgeous pair of Reed Krakoff laser cut pumps that come to about $140 from almost $900 and this pair of classic black YSL Tribtoos are $260 from almost $800.

Just like with New Years, this sale won’t last forever. One the clock strikes midnight Sunday all the extra discounts disappear faster the confetti from Times Square.
