    StyleBop Discounts Hit 75% Off

    Shopbop is offering a deal that might be hard to refuse. Right now, a selection of spring and summer merchandise is already discounted 70% off but through the weekend you can save an extra 15%.

    We were actually very surprised about how how many great items we found. Check out this Victoria Beckham cross-body bag that’s currently about $300 from nearly $1000. With the extra discount the cute summer accessory comes to just $260. These Malone Souliers leather mules area gorgeous and are currently priced at $200 from $700, an Alexander Wang skirt with cut-outs is $158 from $520 and this jumpsuit from McQ Alexander McQueen is $215 from $719. We also spotted this sleeveless Alexander Wang blazer that is very on trend for Fall.

    The extra discount promotion extends beyond the most discounted sale merchandise and can be applied to almost all reduced items. (We just like to target the best deals, of course.) This Sonia Rykiel dress is adorable and already marked down 50% and this Missoni jumpsuit is Mykonos-ready.

    As far as sales go, StyleBop’s selection seems to be pretty on point. There is even an assortment of sizes still available. Seems like a good opportunity to pick up something extra nice before your big August vacation.

    The IT-it: Straw Bags & Accessories

    We didn’t see the straw bag trend coming until it already happened. It seems as if there are  straw, wicker, raffia and rattan bags almost everywhere you look. The thing is, we still can’t get enough.

    We especially love that the basket weave can be found in almost any price point. Nordstrom, especially, has lots of styles from which to choose. Check out this Milly straw clutch with raffia pom-poms that’s just $195, this wood frame version is really a no-brainer for just $58 or here is a tote with pom-poms for only $48. It’s the perfect size for a towel and sunscreen.
    On the higher priced– designer side– of the spectrum we are smitten with the Fendi straw Baguette ($2600) or this intricately woven straw and python Pickaboo bag ($6100). We especially love this Eric Javits straw tote ($400). It’s clean, minimalistic but not too fragile.

    Sure, the bags have taken the spotlight with this trend but there are also lots of other items sneaking in a basket weave. We love these straw woven sandals for only $70, a wrinkle combatting fedora ($18) works wonders for your skin and here are fiesta-ready earrings from Kate Spade ($88).

    Don’t forget, Nordstrom is hosting their amazing Anniversary Sale, where oodles of designer fashions are heavily discounted. Online shoppers should take advantage of Nordstrom’s great customer service, which features free shipping and free returns.

    Net-a-Porter’s Final Sale, Extra Discounts

    After the fireworks die down we excitedly await for Net-a-Porter’s explosive final markdown. This end-of-season event usually only lasts a few days and is delivered with lots of extra discounts.

    We hear that this season’s big event will begin Thursday, July 6. The extra discount is usually 20% off but doesn’t apply to all items. When this sale strikes, merchandise tends to go very quickly. The shoes and bags are always the first to fly off the site. We suggest you start browsing and tucking things away in your cart right now.

    We have our eye on this Sara Battaglia shoulder bag that’s already very well priced at $324. We are going to dive for this this Anya Hindmarch –or any of the designer’s small cross body bags– if they get reduced any more. Only for the fact that we are tired of wanting and writing about them. During the Summer, we are all about cheap thrills and this woven tote from Truss is the perfect fix.

    In the shoe department, there are lots Aqazzura shoes discounted 70% including this style with pom-poms. These sunny heels that Man Repeller did with Net-a-Porter are 70% off along with the rest of the collection they launched this past Winter.

    Everything gets a little more interesting when you start shopping for clothing. There is still a large assortment of clothing and the variety is quite large. We’ve spent a lot of time searching for the perfect denim skirt and this Marc Jacobs version is as close as we’ve come to perfect. Is is longer than the fingertips, we love the frayed edge and it’s 70% off. Here is another one from Frame but it’s a bit shorter.

    We are hoping that the Prada collection gets another markdown. We are suckers for a lip print and this black background skirt is practically irresistible and can work almost all year round. We like this white version better but it’s much more seasonal.

    The NAP final sale usually lasts less than a week. Then the section completely disappears. TheOut is the next stop– as it becomes past season fashion.
