    The Outnet Blowout Gets Even Better

    Last week, we reported that The Outnet was clearing out old merchandise in a super online blowout sale. Today, the sale got even better and additional discounts bring some items to nearly 90% off retail.

    The inventory is very limited. We find it’s easiest to browse through this mega-sale by sorting for your individual shoe or clothing size. Some of our favorite items include a Delpozo mini-dress dress (size FR42) that’s $275 from $2500, a Mary Katrantzou sequined dress (UK 8 & UK 12) that’s $424 from $3860 and a Missoni dress (IT 40) that’s $262 from $2390.

    Among the shoes, Chloe python boots (34, 40.5 & 41.5) have been further reduced to $318 from $2120, Tabitha Simmons sandals (35.5 & $665) are only $100 from $665 and Malone Souliers booties (40.5) are $157 from $1050. You need to grab these Prada flats if you fit in a 37.5 or these Alexander Wang sandals if you’re a size 39.5.

    The sale ends Thursday (March 16). If the shoe, dress, pants or skirt fits– buy it now!

    Thank you for the sharp eye, Lauren!

    Ralph Lauren Friends & Family 30% Off

    Ralph Lauren started a friends & family sale today that will run through Thursday, March 23. The markdown is 30% and includes regular and sale priced merchandise. The promotion is only online and you will need to use the code FRIENDS to engage the discount.

    Take note, that the discount is not applicable to the Ralph Lauren’s higher end brands like, Purple Label and the Collection. Among the items that you can apply the savings are these leather leggings that come to about $700 from nearly $1000, a two-tone leather jacket that’s already discounted 50% and after the promotional discount comes to $525 from $1500 and a big pony polo that is $27 from $115.

    We often having the best luck using this type of sale to restock men’s basics and start getting the kids ready for camp. Here are classic polo’s for guys, in a variety of colors, that come to just $20 from $90 and this big pony style polo is $25 from $110. For boys, here are classic belted shorts for $25, joggers for $18 and $8 tees. For girls’, there are a lot of preppy dress but we really love these gold cowboy boots that come to about $50 from nearly $200.

    Considering these prices, it’s hard to even justify shopping for Ralph Lauren at a discount store. We just wish they would be a little more transparent about the difference between each line. It’s very confusing to even the savviest customer.

    Net-A-Porter Secret Discount Code

    It’s cold and wet outside, Bergdorf Goodman is closed but we have the perfect snow day activity. Net-A-Porter just gave their top customers a secret code, which can save you 10% on almost everything on the site. Just use the code SPRING when checking out. The best part is that there are hardly any restrictions!

    Speaking of Spring, as the snow melts we are optimistically looking forward to some new trends. One set of items that are on our must-have list are floral sandals. Some of our favorites include these Fendi slides with floral appliqué details ($900), Prada sandals with flower appliqués ($990) and these cactus heels ($480) from the Man Repeller collaboration.  We also really like these Sam Edelman floral print bright orange slides ($100).

    The easiest way to build a seasonal wardrobe is to concentrate on a color. Pink has been going strong since last year and we wouldn’t hesitate adding more to your collection. This pink grecian Norma Kamali off-the-shoulder jersey dress ($185) easily transitions from city streets to poolside or beach. We also love this Miu Miu pink blouse ($895) that has a bit of Western detailing. Give your next business presentation in this Haider Ackermann satin deep pink suit ($1400 for the blazer). It’s killer. A Rachel Zoe suit is a less expensive option but– is the color a little bubblegum?

    We are sure you’ll have no problem finding your own favorites for Spring. This 10% discount code is only valid until March 20. Although the discount isn’t super high, we will accept it as gift. After all, the next big markdown isn’t until the end of May.

    Spring Denim Trends: From Patchwork Denim to Acid Wash

    Good jeans are invaluable. The funny thing is that good jeans never seem to stay good for more than a year. The speed at which denim trends change is incredible and keeping up can be daunting.

    We would never endorse buying jeans at full price but have come to accept that anything under $200 is a good price — especially if you will wear them several times a week. The transitional season is a good time to start shopping for the denim styles you want while your size is still in stock. We suggest adding your favorite style to the cart and waiting for a good friends & family sale. Bloomingdales’ friends & family sale is usually at the end of March and ShopBop runs a big site-wide discount promotion in early April.

    Patchwork Blue
    One of the biggest trends for Spring is the multi-tonal jean. A patchwork of different color blues making a big splash. Since they aren’t ripped, the look isn’t as messy as many distressed denim styles but the look is still very casual and relaxed. Some of our favorite styles are below.

    Wide-leg Crop
    The flared cropped jean isn’t all new but this season that flare is growing to a wide-leg. We especially like the versions with a wide dark hem. This style jean looks best with a stylish shoe (like a Gucci slide) or a pointed boot that clear the hem. Check out these styles:

    Colored Jeans
    It seems like colored denim goes from being hot one season to cheesy the next. This season–you got it– it’s hot. Blush in particular happens to be the color de jour.

    Super bleached
    Acid wash will always be a nostalgic look from the 80s and 90s but super bleached is just about as classic. Why not pull out a vintage heavy metal tee and a just-don’t-care attitude? We just suggest staying away from the acid washed blond hair. That’s a look we don’t need to resurrect.

    First Class Upgrade: Tumi 19 Degree Suitcase 20% Off

    The fashion industry has suddenly put a lot of emphasis is put on travel outfits. We believe that traveling with the right luggage is a lot more important than choosing the right fedora.

    Tumi’s new 19-Degree collection is truly a showstopper. 19 Degree is Tumi’s first aluminum offering and is clearly designed to go head-to-head with Ramowa. The distinctive contoured lines, highlight the profile of the suitcase and give it sense of fluidity. The final look is fashion, art and design. It is a sure upgrade to most anything else on the market.

    The best part is that everything Tumi is 20% off at Saks Fifth Avenue. Color options include silver, black, matte black, copper and Glacier, which is a steele blue. Normally the bags range in price from $600 for a carry-on to $1395 for an extended-trip size in aluminum. The discount brings the prices to $475 for the carry-on to $1116 for the biggest size in aluminum. Take note, that the aluminum is priced almost twice as high as the polycarbonate.

    Like most women, we aren’t light packets and suggest getting the ‘Extended Packing Trip‘ and a ‘Short Packing Trip‘ size. This combination gives you lots of options– you can take both bags or only one. On bigger trips we suggest taking both to make sure your big bag doesn’t go over weight. It’s always nice to have a second back to redistribute your belongings.

    So now, where should we go???
