    The Best of Cyber Monday

    Chances are that you’ve been shopping or browsing online and offline all weekend. Nonetheless, marketers sill insist that the shopping continues full force through Cyber Monday.

    Chuckle as you might, people are clicking and buying more than they are cruising actual stores. Most of the discounts are the same as they have been all weekend. You can click over to our Thanksgiving week cheat sheet. Below are the retailers we plan to stalk for Cyber Monday. Just be careful, the impulse to buy anything can easily overcome Monday morning shoppers.

    SSense
    We have spent a considerable amount of time scrolling through Ssense. The thing is that the discounts aren’t the best on the web but we’ve been shocked by the items we’ve found on sale. Last year, resellers were hoarding Balenciaga Triple S sneakers and reselling them for as much as 50% above retail. The Triple S is still continually selling out but here they are on SSense for $716 from nearly $900. They also have the black and the grey available on sale.

    Bergdorf Goodman
    We love a good promotion for designer clothing but sometimes a great markdown on ‘contemporary’ designers can be just as good. Right now, Bergdorf Goodman is offering an extra 25% off discounted merchandise. Only contemporary designers are included but we found a great assortment of jeans and casual clothing for real steals. Here are Frame cropped jeans that come to just $36 from nearly $200, these 3×1 cropped jeans with a raw hem are $53 from $285 and Rag & Bone boyfriend jeans are $75 from $250.

    StyleBop
    You can save 30% off everything on Stylebop with the code: BLACKFRIDAY. We suggest you apply your code and attack the sale section. Discounts are already up to 70% off. This Shrimps moto jacket comes to about $270 from $580, these Paul Andrew heels come to $250 from $919 and an oversized Vetements puffer (from Winter 2017) $1400 from nearly $4000.

    Melijoe
    No holiday shopping roundup is complete without a callout for the kids. We suggest you head to Melijoe where markdowns are up to 70% off. Here is an IKKS sweatshirt dress that’s reduced to $54 from $108, here is a faux fur coat for $151 from $250 and here is a floral print Dolce & Gabbana dress that’s 70% off. Our favorite aspect of shopping on Melijoe is how quickly your purchase arrives. If you time it right, you can literally have your purchase sent from Europe and in your house in less than a day.

    ShopBop Black Friday Sale

    The kick-off to Black Friday weekend  has already started. There are so many tempting places to spend your money it’s hard to choose.

    Shopbop has completely sucked us in as we’ repeatedly spotted great things to buy. Get this: All full price merchandise is 25% off. On items already on sale, the shopping discount incentive increases with the more you spend– up to 25% off. Use the code MORE18 at checkout to engage the extra savings.

    15% off orders of $200+ 
    20% off orders of $500+ 
    25% off orders of $800+ 

    The best part is that Shopbop has a great assortment of items that are perfect for gifting. We already picked up this Champion jacket that came to just $175 from $200. We also love this Mischa Lampert pom-pom hat that’s $225 from $300. An Opening Ceremony fanny pack is about $75 from $95,  Cult Gaia oversized bracelets are $445 from $60 and we love this Hayward mini corduroy bag that’s $370 from $490. You can even apply the discount to Golden Goose.

    We haven’t even started sorting the sale section. Let’s go! Check out this Moschino sweatshirt dress that’s $100 before the incentive. Sorel boots with bright red laces are reduced to $127, a Cinq a Sept dress is reduced to $187 from $827 and that’s before the promotional discount. A Cushnie slinky gold dress is $373 from $1500 and a hoodie from The Range is $60 from $185.

    Take note that shipping times can take a bit longer during Shopbop’s big promotions but their great customer service is always consistent.

    Unpublished Links: Where to Shop on Black Friday (Now)

    Waking up on Thanksgiving Day, it’s hard to choose between cooking, eating, and shopping. You can guess where we started. This holiday season is turning out to be the most competitive since 2009. Black Friday is going to be rather interesting. Good thing that we have all the inside scoop and can lend you a little preview of the markdowns to come.

    European online luxury retailers seem to take Black Friday even more seriously than American retailers. Head to Farfetch to save an additional 20% off sale prices. We are also looking forward to Sunday, when Bergdorf Goodman will offer an extra 25% off sale merchandise.

    Below are our top picks for Black Friday and a sneak peek into Cyber Monday. Remember, to add all your purchase considerations into your cart and edit out the items that you don’t need now or that you don’t anticipate selling out. There are lots of markdowns to come and one of the miracles of fashion is that there is always something new to buy.

    Bergdorf Goodman: VIP Sale Access (40+ Pics)

    Late Friday afternoon, we received an email saying that Bergdorf Goodman executives decided to break sale early. The email came with lots of apologies but we couldn’t be more excited. Seriously, breaking sale is even more exciting than color war.

    We could hardly control our excitement and spent a good portion of the weekend scouring Bergdorfs for all the best markdowns. Online shoppers can use this VIP link to access the sale right now. Doors open at 10am for those looking to take home a lavender bag.

    Handbags are always the most popular items during sale season and they are the first to sell out. Most styles are discounted 25% to 40% off. The Prada sale selection of bags is much better online than in the store. We love this Bolide-shape bag with the updated logo that’s now $1600 from nearly $2700. Before you check out, don’t forget to look at the Prada selection on Neiman Marcus too. Here is the VIP link to the sale at Neiman Marcus.

    If you’re in the market for Balenciaga, we suggest you shop from the store’s selection. There are some sale items online but the variety at the store is much better. You can see pictures here. The in-store sale selection includes this logo-mania bag with a “cape”, there is the carwash-like fringe style and about eight variations of the BB gold-chain bag. Upstairs were laughed when we spotted the Balenciaga multi-layered winter coat reduced to $4750 from $9500.

    We were extremely surprised by the great sale selection options among the Saint Laurant bags. This Marceau Monogram crossbody bag especially caught our eye and after the discount, it comes to $1645 from $2350. This Jamie bag with diamond quilting is also very attractive and we love the size of this V-Flap but don’t really like the blush. If you’re looking to throw a small laptop into a bag then go to the store and check out the other color options. You can see pictures from in the store over this way.

    The sale includes a few cute Chloe bags, a scattering of Fendi, and lots of lots of Valentino. The selection is a little different in the store. Take a look here. We were excited to see a Valentino VLTN tote that’s now $1083 from $1445 and here is a Rockstud crossbody hobo that’s $1271 from $1700.

    Moving up to shoes the racks are out and so are the crowds. We spotted these Manolo Hangisi flats in a few different styles. They are now $716 from $955. We actually snagged a pair of these Off-White rain boots that say “For Riding.” They were hard to resist at $315 from $450. Shoppers seemed very excited about these Rockstud slouchy leather boots that are now $1256 from $1800 but don’t they seem a bit, Trixy? The minimalism of these Paul Andrew boots seems to resonate a lot better.

    We are still searching for the ideal pair of lace-up hiking boots. No such luck yet. We’ll keep looking. For now, you can scroll through our favorite sale items online or bounce over to browse through the pictures we took in the store today.

    Classified Leak: Black Friday Sale Dates

    For the past week, we have have been fielding 100s of emails and DMs asking about sales breaking at specific stores. For the first time, we are pre-publishing all of our known sale dates. It’s hard to say how long we will be able to keep this post live. We suggest that you bookmark this page and then click on the direct sale links below. Some of our sources provided us with private pre-sale access.

    One more suggestion: Websites have been known to come to a crawl when sales break. It’s a good idea to spend the next two days browsing and picking the items you love most. Add everything you’re considering to your card and then begin to edit. When the sales go live you can cash out fast without searching through a sluggish site.

    Please let us know if you have additional information and we can add it to our list.  Happy Shopping!!
