For the past several years we have been heavy into shopping from Luisa Via Roma, a boutique in Florance, Italy. Their designer assortment is great, the customer service is wonderful and they can get an order from Via Benedetto Varchi to the UES in under 30 hours. The highlight, of course, is the great discounts.

Right now, Luisa Via Roma is hosting a promotion where sale items are an additional 30% off. That brings the total markdown to over 70% on several great items. Just use the code LC30 at checkout to engage the additional savings.

Over this way, we found Sanayi slides are $455 from $1300, a Prada print blouse is $280 from $788, and a JW Anderson miniskirt is $190 from $1365.  (That last one is actually closer to 80% off. It’s a size US4 or it would otherwise be mine,) Take some time to explore some new designers. It’s surprising what you can find when you get outside our of our mass media bubble. Look at this Vita Kin embroidered top that’s $890 from $2122.

As previously mentioned, Luisa Via Roma offers great customer service. Most of the time, shipping and returns are free and there are no duties that need to be paid by the customer.

Century 21 is starting to institute a Supreme-esque “drop” strategy to its website. This week the discounter announced it will be offering a large assortment of Balmain for deeply reduced prices.

Over this way, we found nearly 200 Balmain pieces for men and women all reduced 60% to 70% off. Here is a classic Balmain tee for $89 from $250 and here is a tee with a graphic for $200 from $560. A classic double breasted blazer is $750 from $2100 and houndstooth version is $619 from $1735.

Once you finish browsing the Balmain selection, head over to the kid’s department. There is a large assortment of Pucci and Versace for that’s reduced about 60% off. These classic print Pucci shorts are $60 from $150 and this Versace floral print dress is $300 from $800. There are also a lot of Versace bikinis for $99 from $350.

As a matter of fact, we suggest you browse through the Century online assortment before you dive into Lester’s and Denny’s for full-price camp clothing. There is a great vareity of Fiorucci tees and sweatshirts that are reduced 80% off. They are perfect for older girls. There are also lots of denim shorts and Butter shorts options that are nicely discounted.

Century 21 always feels like a hike into the wilderness, which is very apropos when shopping for camp or Balmain.

Shoppers seem to have very strong feelings towards Intermix. Most people reminisce about the “Old Intermix” and recall a time where you can find lots of affordable new designer merchandise. Other customers claim total loyalty for its ability to wardrobe the entire East End of Long Island.

Personally, we like Intermix for its great sales. Where else could you score a Canada Goose Down jacket for 40% off on Black Friday? Most of our denim collection is curated from the Intermix sale section, along with a few key Balmain and Brandon Maxwell pieces– of course.

Right now, Intermix is hosting one of those special sale moments where you can save an additional 40% off reduced merchandise. Most of the discounts come to 65% off but some are even higher.  A Rag & Bone denim skirt for $50 from $300 is basically a no-brainer. Here is a Ronny Kobo dress for $190 from $460 and this Love Shack Fancy frock is $150 from $425.

Some of the more designer-y options are this asymmetrical David Koma dress that’s about $550 from $1250,  Jean-Michel Cazabat suede high boots are $360 from $995,  and a Missoni knit duster is about $400 from $1600. Don’t miss the Lizzie Fortunato earrings that are reduced to $60 from $275. (We clearly have a Lizzie addiction.)

The sale contains a mix of the current season and holdovers from the Winter. If something is priced well enough, like those suede boots, we suggest you buy them now and open them in November as a Fall treat. This extra 40% off promotion runs through Friday.
