    ShopBop VIP Sale Link

    The hugely popular Shopbop sale event kicked off today for VIPs. Shoppers can use the code SCORE18 and save an additional 25% off all sale items. The total discount can get as high as 85% depending on the item.

    The sale officially kicks off tomorrow but we suggest you dig in right now because merchandise will go quickly once the public is let in. For now, you need to use this link to access the additional Shopbop savings.

    This is a great time to grab a new few items for the upcoming Summer weekend. Browsing through the 70% off section, which is final sale, we found a pastel rainbow dress from Tome that comes to $358 from about $1200. (The dress is perfect for daytime with sandals or nighttime with heels.) We also love ruffled Jonathan Simkhai off-the-shoulder dress that comes to $280 from $975. Givenchy round sunglasses are nearly $200 from $500 and this Stella McCartney bathing suit is under $100.

    Outside the most reduced items, we love these Aquazzura pool slides that are reduced to $250 from $500, a Caroline Constas maxi dress is $417 from $900 and rainbow hoop earrings are about $29 from $42.

    The sale ends Friday at midnight (PT). This is the best deal you can expect, outside of Shopbop’s friends and family sale. If you ask us, it seems like a good opportunity to celebrate Summer.

    Christian Louboutin Sample Sale Is NOW

    Markdown season has turned our attention away from most sample sales but the Christian Louboutin sample sale is too buzzy and legendary to ignore. Before you get too excited, you must remember that this sale is by invitation only.

    This season, invitees were surprised by the low-brow Eventbrite sale notification but the security aspect hasn’t budged and it’s still hard to get in without an invite. The sale Christian Louboutin officially kicked off today to the most important Louboutin insiders– Instagram stars and magazine editors. The sale extends all week as the invited guest list expands to allow the general press and “friends and family.”

    Our snoops say that prices start at $200 but most styles are in the $300-range. The most expensive style shoes are $1000. A majority of the heels and studded variety pumps are priced between $300 and $400. For example, Pigalle black studded heels were $400 from about $1100. This season, we are told that there are more options for men’s sneakers and shoes than ever.

    We are told that shoppers had piles of shoes that were nearly sky high. Usually, there is a shopping limit of five or six pairs but this season customers can buy up to 12 pairs of shoes. We aren’t sure if Louboutin is feeling extra generous or if the Cardi B-effect didn’t really have a, well, bottom line. Most shoppers checked out with four pairs of shoes. Men were reported to buy more than most women.

    Shoppers reported that there wasn’t much of a wait to get into the sale today but the line at the register was more than 45 minutes. To make matters worse, inside the sale was hotter than a sauna. If you intend on attending, we suggest you dress in light clothing and pack a credit card with a high spending limit.

    Louboutin fans who don’t have an invite can save 60% off at Barneys or 40% off at Louboutin boutiques, including Saks Fifth Avenue. It appears as if all authorized online retailers have removed Louboutin sale styles. Fear not, we found some other– less obvious– options to shop for red bottoms online. Use the above scroll to see what we found.

    Before heading out, you can browse the Christian Louboutin in-store sale section in this post. Follow along on Instagram to get up-to-the-minute updates.

    Christian Louboutin Invite Only Sample Sale
    Monday, June 11 through Friday, June 15
    11am to 6pm
    307 West 38th Street No. 3 @ 8th Ave.

    Neiman Marcus 2nd Markdown

    As predicted, Neiman Marcus started their unofficial second markdown today. Customers can now save an extra 25% off, which will bring the total discount to 55% off. The sale won’t be live to the public until Monday but you can access the additional Neiman Marcus discount using this link.

    We suggest you use this early access opportunity to grab some of the items that most quickly sold out when Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys took their second discount. For example,  this Valentino pink Rockstud spike bag didn’t last a day.  It’s now $1572 from nearly $2800.  Over this way, is a gorgeous blue Bottega Veneta woven bag that’s reduced to $1400 from $2550 and a Fendi ruffled bag is $1260 from $2800. There is still a large variety of bags from Balenciaga and Givenchy.

    We suggest you grab something you like right now, while it’s available. The good bags usually don’t stick around to the third markdown. If you’re a frequent in-store shopper you can get lucky and fight a late-season return but it’s not an absolute.

    Moving on to shoes, the discount, for some reason, doesn’t seem as good. Shoppers can still find a big assortment of Valentino. These classic Rockstud spikes are $435 from nearly $900. Those Gucci sale style shoes are not going anywhere fast. There is still a full assortment of styles and even with the additional discount, some styles are still pricey. These Manolo slides are $380 from $679 and Fendi espadrilles with pearls are $500 from $750.

    The clothing discounts are about the same as most other retailers. Some items seem reduced more than others. We suggest you do a search before completing any order or you can just wait for the third markdown when it’s hard to find something not to buy.

    Markdown Sale Cheat Sheet: Round 2

    This week, retailers started taking a second cut on sale merchandise. Usually, stores take markdowns at about the same time, but right now, we are heading into the weekend with a wide range of discounts.

    Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman are offering customers savings up to 60% off. Keep an eye on Neiman Marcus, which is scheduled to take its second markdown on Monday but it’s more likely to break a little early on Sunday afternoon. The second break at Saks is expected at any moment too.

    Moda Operandi is leading the pack of online retailers with its reduced prices. Discounts are up to 60% off on assorted items. Net-A-Porter seems to be running a little off schedule and has delayed its second markdowns. We believe the site won’t wait past Wednesday to offer additional discounts. MyTheresa is a great alternative if you’re looking to save up to 60% off right now.

    We know everyone is waiting for more information about the Chanel markdown. We are hoping to have dates and stock sheets ready to post on Monday. Next week is sure to be even busier, We suggest you put anything you like in your shopping cart and let the sales come to you.

    Barneys & Bergdorf Goodman Discounts Hit 60%

    It seems as if sale season just started but retailers aren’t wasting any time. Both Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman started their second round of markdowns today. The discounts at both stores top 60% off.

    We started over at Bergdorf Goodman today. Markdowns started around noon and still hadn’t made it through the entire store. Bags and shoes are now 50% off and clothing is reduced to 60%. If what you want is already sold out online at Bergdorfs you can keep an eye out for the Neiman Marcus markdown, which will happen on June 11. Actually, the Neiman Marcus markdown will technically be an extra 25% off sale, bringing the total savings to 55% off.

    If you have your eye on any Balenciaga bags we wouldn’t spare a moment. There is a variety of City bags in assorted colors, like blue, beige, white and black. Here is one online that’s reduced to $1250 in the store. There are also lots of Bazar bags, here is a polka dot style that’s $825 from $1650 and the NYC shopper is $975 from $1950. We love the laid-back look and unpretentious feel of Hayward bags and this style is $425 from $850. There are some JW Anderson Pierce bags for $850 and a whole lot of Valentino. You can click here to see pictures of the sale bag selection at Bergdorf Goodman.

    Upstairs the shoe discounts were still in limbo but the racks are full of temptation. Pictures of the shoe selection inside the store are over here. Online you can grab these two-tone Neous shoes with a ball heel for $330 from $665, jeweled Miu Miu sandals are $495 from $990 and Saint Laurent block heel sandals are about $400 from $800. You can see pictures of what’s left on sale at Bergdorf Goodman over this way.

    Heading uptown to Barneys, you’ll find that the shoe and bag departments aren’t nearly as well stocked at Bergdorf Goodman. On the bright side, the discount is 60% off most shoes and bags. Among the bags, there are a few Balenciaga styles. If you have had your eye on an Alaia bag, now would be the time to pounce. Here is a bucket bag for $640 from $1600 and this drawstring cord bag is $1640 from $4100. The biggest selection is the Calvin Klein collection bags, which are undeniably pretty nice. Some of them happen to be a bit heavy but it’s really an underrated accessories brand.

    Between now and the end of the season there are flashes of additional discounts at Bergdorf Goodman. There will be a third markdown at both stores but that won’t happen until July. Don’t worry, it’s not as far away as you think. The days always seem to fly by during Summer.

    Dissecting the Nordstrom Discounts

    Norstrom took its first markdown not too long ago and most of the store’s designer collections are still well stocked. The discount is 40% off and new markdowns should be coming soon. The next price cut usually brings the total discount to 50% off.

    What’s even better is that Nordstrom is notorious for price matching. If you see an item priced less at another store make sure to contact customer service and Nordstrom will match the price in most situations. Some of the sale’s highlights include some great classic luxury brands and edgy designers.

    There are lots of sale handbags worth a second look. Among the key highlights is this Gucci Falena that’s reduced 33% to $2350 from $3500, a Valentino Rockstud saddle bag is about $1400 from $3775 and a small Balenciaga city bag is $1300 from $2200.

    We found a great selection of Fendi, including some of the hard-to-get logo pieces. Here are flip-flops that are reduced to $230 from $560 and a shoulder strap is $683 from $1140. There is also a great selection of Vetements and lots of classic sweatshirts. This Tommy Hilfiger collaboration hoodie is $730 from $1040 and a DHL tee is $462 from $660. This Comme des Garson blouse is major “fashun” and just $266 from $445. A double arm sweater from Isa Arfen is $297 from $495 and our favorite Hellessy asymmetrical top is $552 from $920.

    Among the sale shoes, there is a Gucci selection that’s about the same as what we’ve seen at other department stores. The discount is 40% off.  Off-White mules are reduced 30% to $900 from $1300, Balenciaga jeweled encrusted pumps are $835 from $1400, and denim Manolo Hangisi shoes are $580 from $1000.

    There is a third discount but Nordstrom doesn’t usually drop prices below 60%. If you’re shopping in the stores– that’s another story.
