    Inside Details: Net-A-Porter Final Markdown

    We thought it would be a good idea to share some upcoming news before the fireworks capture your attention. Net-A-Porter will begin its final markdown on July 4. Besides for a small sporadic promotion, this is the last price cut that will occur this season. The sale section will stay live through the end of the month.

    When Net-A_Porter‘s 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 eyes on this Khaite maxi dress that’s already reduced 70% off and is $354 from $1180. It comes in black too. This Victoria Beckham white dress is silk and isn’t priced significantly more. There are also lots of size options. We love this Versace top that’s great for when you want to swap out a tee for something more dressed up.

    There is a large variety of Golden Goose already reduced by 30%. We are anticipating they will be reduced further. You don’t even need to wait for another markdown on this Acne belt. It’s $18 and works as a great pop of color with jeans or a simple dress.

    You can easily rationalize this Dolce & Gabbana floral print bikini after another price cut– especially if it fits well. Obviously, you need to wear the coordinating skirt with the bikini. All budgets are blown with this Balmain jacket is under $1000.

    These final markdowns are great for scoring high-quality items without sacrificing a tuition payment. We love to sort through what’s left from The Row, Victoria Beckham, and Gabrielle Hearst. We tend to look for pieces that are classic and multi-functional. You know, your savior when you feel like you have nothing to wear? Check out this crepe maxi dress from Gabrielle Hearst that’s currently $920 from $2300.

    The NAP final sale is usually pretty fast-moving. Once the sale is over the section completely disappears. TheOut is the next stop– as it becomes past season fashion.

    Barneys 20% +15% Off (Sale & Full Priced)

    Hey Mad-Spy readers, we have the ultimate deal for you. Barneys has offered us an additional 20% off everything online. You must use this link and the code BNYJULY to activate the promotion. The discount is good on sale and full-price merchandise (except beauty). We have also been told that you can stack the code BNY15 for an extra 15% off sale items.  The two codes combined will save you about 30% off when used together on sale items.

    Obviously, we suggest you start your browsing in the sale section where discounts top 75% off. The extra 20% off promo brings the total savings to nearly 85% off.  Here is a silk Prabal Gurung dress that comes to $440 from $2200, a Derek Lam maxi dress is $160 from $800, and this silk floral print dress is $162 from $850.

    In the bag section, there is still this Balenciaga ‘Techno’ bag that is $920 from $2290, a VLTN shoulder bag is $1176 from $2445, and this shoulder bag from The Row is $1488 from $2650. The shoe sale department isn’t plentiful but there are these tweed Golden Goose that comes to $256 from $460 and Manolo satin mules are $480 from $1000.

    The real fun begins when you start browsing those items that never seem to go on markdown. How about a new pair of classic style Louboutins. The discount even works on preorders for these new style boots. Now would be a good time to take the plunge if you’ve been considering one of these Fontana Milano bags or a Delveaux.

    This promotion will only be active until July 3. We suggest you get on it ASAP.

    Gilt Bag Sale: Celine, Dior & Burberry

    A few weeks ago, I fell upon a Gilt designer bag sale. The prices were great but I felt no urgency to make a commitment. The bag stuck around for a few days. I watched it. Then, in a moment– poof, it was gone. The said bag is full price at various stores and I whimper a little bit every time it catches my eye.

    I share this tale as a warning because Gilt just started its early July 4th designer sale. The bag I wanted is still gone but there are many others that catch the eye. Most impressive is the selection of Celine bags, which includes many new Hedi styles. Most are reduced by about 30% off retail, which is only notable because Celine bags never go on markdown. Here is the “Lady Gaga” bag that’s $3200 from $4150, the Triomphe bag is $2845 from $3850, and this Double Strap belt is a good find at $299 from $570. There is also the more Old Celine classic Nano Luggage tote that’s $2300 from $2700.

    Some of the other good finds include Tisci’s Burberry belt bag that’s about $1200 from $1500. (Not as discounted as I would like but savings nonetheless.) Check out this Dior C’est that’s $2600 from $3400 and this YSL Vicky is $1700 from $2300.  A Miu Miu shopper makes a great beach bag for $630 from $1020.

    Department stores have so much Balenciaga on markdown that a final sale Gilt purchase is unnecessary.  Stay away unless you spot something ridiculously discounted. Don’t go for Valentino unless it’s more than 40% off and Prada needs to be reduced 50%. All bets are off you spot a bag that’s a brand new style or an item you’ve been lusting after and haven’t been able to capture.

    For now, I’m going to continue to whine about the bag I missed and hope it turns up again. Wish me luck and learn from my mistake.
