    Neiman Marcus: Biggest Markdown of the Year

    Neiman Marcus just started a promotion where sale merchandise is discounted an additional 30%. Final discounts on many items are hitting 80% off, which is essentially the deepest discount of the year. The promotion is only two days and ends Tuesday.

    Upon browsing, we found this Roland Mouret dress pants that come to $214 from $1230. Yes. That’s exactly 80% off. Right here is a Marco De Vincenzo dress that is discounted the same amount and comes to $900 from $2200.

    Over here, we found a Pamella Roland cocktail dress in striking yellow. The discount brings this beauty to just $800 from $4600. Don’t miss this Altuzarra dress with fringe that is $600 from nearly $3500. It’s also hard to argue against getting this parka from Self Portrait that’s $490 from $1165.

    Among the shoes, we found lots of styles priced along the lines of what you would find at a super sample sale. Some styles are discounted near 70% with the additional markdown. Among the designer assortment we found these Aquazzura suede boots that are $390 from $1400. Here is a pair of gold boots from Maison Margiela for $261 from $935 and shearling ankle boots from Laurance Dacade are $315 from $1125.

    The promotion runs through Tuesday. Neiman Marcus rarely, if ever, offers an additional 30% off final reductions. We suggest you take advantage while the opportunity presents itself– or you’ll be sooooorry.

    The Best Manolo Sale of the Season

    The Manolo Blahnik final price cut is finally here. Starting Monday, Manolo will begin their last markdown of the season. This four day sale is the perfect opportunity to stock up on classic and ornate shoes from the designer’s winter collection at up to 75% off.

    Sale styles are from the exclusive boutique collection and include some alligator. Prices are always marked by sticker dots, which usually range from $195 for a red dot up to $350 for a green dot. Most shoes and low boots– even highly ornate styles– are priced at $250.

    The markdown event begins Monday and run through Thursday, February 9. Once the sale ends the Blahnik boutique will close for a breather. The planned re-org will continue until Monday, February 13th, when the store will reopen with the new collection.

    The store is often crowded but at least there usually isn’t a long line to get in. The sale will only run for four days and styles and sizes run low quickly. If you’re looking for a great deal we suggest you switch out of your heels and take a run over to the boutique asap.

    For a full rundown of past final markdowns you can check out past story from the Summer here.

    Barneys Purple Card Promotion

    Not sure what to do this weekend? We suggest you head to Barneys.

    Starting today and through Sunday, Barneys shoppers can earn a $25 gift card, or “Purple Card’, for every $250 they spend. Accrued gift cards are redeemable for merchandise from Monday, February 6, 2017 through Wednesday, March 5, 2017.

    Take note, Purple Cards are available when you purchase Chanel, Brunello Cucinelli and Ermenegildo Zegna, but can’t be used for redemption on those brands. Celine and Christian Louboutin are excluded on purchases and redemptions. On the bright side, the store still has plenty of sale merchandise that is eligible for the gift card promo.

    The Purple Card promotion is available at Barneys stores nationwide, on the website and at BarneysWarehouse. (Winter clothing is an extra 40% off at the online outlet store!)

    Be warned, however, Barneys will most likely not extend the dates if the cards aren’t used during the specified window of time. So be sure to enjoy your meal at Freds and go back next week to use those gift cards! 

    ShopBop 70% Off Clearance Explodes

    New Spring merchandise is pushing aging sweaters and coats to the back of stores. In the online world, the clearance tab is the proverbial bargain basement. Today, Shopbop has reduced hundreds of items to 70% off.

    After browsing over 1400 clearance items, we pulled our favorites into the lookbook above. Some of the sale highlights include, a Derek Lam double breasted wool coat that’s $870 from $2900, Aquazzura high boots with long fringe is $500 from $1700 and Sara Battaglia fringe bag for $202 from $575. There are also lots of less expensive staples like 3×1 embroidered jeans that are $190 from $625, a Public School shirtdresss is $100 from $350 and Frame skinny jeans are $62 from $209.

    Take note, all these 70% off items are final sale. The no-backsies rule used to really bother us but we’ve realized that we never return anything bought online anyway. (Too lazy.) So really, what’s the difference?
