    Manolo Sale: “Amazing”

    The Manolo Blahnik sale started on Monday and everyone agrees that the sale is “amazing.”

    As usual, prices are broken down by colored stickers; red, yellow, green and blue with the prices ranging from $195 to $295. Sizes are already running low but those who are under a 36.5 or over a 39 will find the largest selection. As of Tuesday evening, we were told that there was still a very good selection of styles.

    Unfortunately, there have also been lots of lines. Shoppers are reporting waiting in line up to one hour. One reader suggests coming at 1pm — when the store closes for restocking — at that time you will be given a cut-the-line card when the store reopens at 3pm.

    A few pointers for Manolo’s final markdown: Shoppers shouldn’t hoard display shoes, you should be loyal to one sales person as they work on commissions and try to be in and out quickly because there is a one-out-one-in policy when the store is crowded.

    The final markdown ends on Thursday and then the boutique opens Monday morning with the new fall collection.

    Spring Flowers Blooms With Discounts of 90%

    Spring Flowers is an institution among Park Avenue primates. It’s always a dependable destination to find a decadent baby gift or an enable that will fit those hard to outfit special occasions. Obviously, perfection comes with a price but this season’s clearance sale will make you want to load up on everything you need for your (and don’t need) for your children.

    Right now, the luxury children’s clothing store is hosting a sale where racks of clothing are priced at $10, $20, $30 and $40. Some items are reduced 90% and more. We found Mona Lisa tapered chinos for $10 from $110 and cashmere cardigans with gem buttons priced at just $40. (These sweaters are great additions to most any school uniform, especially when it’s a super cold Winter.) On the $40 rack we found a hot pink I Pinco Pallino that was originally priced $460.

    The sale also includes two whole racks of hand smocked dresses that are all priced at $100. You can also shop lots of accessories, like $10 headbands, $25 Mary Janes, $10 winter hats and $10 diaper covers. You can click here to see pictures from inside the sale.

    The sale still has s decent amount of inventory in all sizes. We would suggest that you don’t procrastinate very long because the back-to-school merchandise will soon have to replace this bargain basement sale.

    Manolo’s Biggest Markdown of the Year

    Our favorite Manolo Blahnik sale is finally here and we are hoping that it will be as good as last year’s summer sale even thought it will be shorter. Last years sale ran for a full 10-days preceding a boutique remodel. This season, the sale is back to its 4-day format — which could mean less inventory– but the discounts are likely to be the same 75% off.

    The markdown event will begin this Monday and run through Thursday, August 6th. During final markdown events, shoes are always marked by sticker dots. Prices usually range from $195 for a red dot up to $375 for a green dot. Most shoes and low boots– even highly ornate styles– are priced at $225. Last season, Lisa pumps were a budget friendly $225 and high boots were $325.

    The store can get crowded but at least there isn’t usually a long line to get in. Since the sale is only four days, we suggest trying to attend towards the beginning. We doubt there will be a lot of restocking. Styles and sizes always run low quickly.
