    Nordstrom: Deep Diving Into Designer Discounts

    Nordstrom’s markdowns have been on fire this season and the power to entice isn’t waning. Right now, you can find various European designer merchandise discounted up to 60% off. That includes brands like Prada, Bottega, Fendi, and Saint Laurent. The best part is that there is still a great selection.

    Technically the sale is considered private, which means you need to access the designer merchandise through this link. The Prada selection is the most plentiful. Here are new season Prada Fall 2020 sneakers for $510 from $850, this crossbody/hip bag is $810 from $1350, and classic hart painted heels are $375 from $750.  Even this new style Saffiano backpack/bag is 40% off already.

    Outside of the private sale edits the designer options are still plentiful. Here is a Balmain dress that’s $760 from $1900, Givenchy lock loafers (new season) $537 from $900, and Givenchy kid’s sneakers are $255 from $460.  You can still find some sizes of YSL Tribute slides for $357 from $600.

    Nordstrom also has a great selection of innovative designers. We love this Sara Lanzi sleeveless dress is $400 from $1000 and a camo ruffled dress from Ashley Williams is the perfect fashion contradiction and is $182 from $455. Don’t miss this Maison Margiela padded jacket. Not for everyone but 60% off and a significant fashion item.

    Granted some designer items are worth waiting for the second round of discounts but the new season merchandise is really novel. Heavy tread Prada sneakers may be difficult to get once Fall officially arrives and they are 40% off now.

    Second Markdown Alert: Net A Porter

    Listen, and read closely, because you’re not going to want to miss this. Net-A-Porter will start its second markdown Tuesday morning. Prices will be reduced up to 70% off and many popular style bags and fashion are still in stock.

    Among the bag selection, you can expect to find most styles reduced an additional percentage. Some items we’ve been watching include this Saint Laurent Angie bag that doubles as a clutch and is 30% off.  This Fendi Tresor seems like a no-brainer if it hits 50% off.

    The discounts on shoes will range from 40% to 70% off, with most styles getting the 60% markdown treatment. Among the shoes we are watching are these Loewe wedges, leopard print Valentino Rockdtuds, and Saint Laurent slides. These Jimmy Choo booties are even more beautiful in person. There is also a huge amount of sneakers.

    Expect to find an infinite array of clothing discounted 70% off. There is still this red twill Balmain blazer and you know it will be all gone once the price dips under $1000. Here is a Ulla Johnson maxi dress that can be worn to a myriad of Summer events. The same can be said for Zimmerman linen floral print dress. This Lisa Marie Fernandez PVC bikini is already reduced to $120 from $300 and a Pucci pareo is now $136 from  $340.

    The new markdown went live this morning but the best merchandise will go sell out fast. We suggest you pile up that cart and edit quickly.

    July 4th Sale Mania Roundup

    July 4th is famous for explosive sales. Some even go as far as calling it ‘Christmas in July.’ It’s really an excellent time to shop, especially considering how much the sale calendar has shifted. We normally use this space to evaluate third markdowns, which aren’t usually the cream of the crop. This COVID-era Independence Day, however, is ripe with fresh fashion desires.

    Most of the sales launch on July 2nd but the rainy weather is a great excuse to begin scrolling. Below are some great current and upcoming sales. You can begin the add-to-cart exercise now. We will update the post throughout the holiday weekend.  Happy July 4th!
