Fall is one best time of year for fashion. It’s when all of the new trends emerge and that must-have feeling is the strongest. Pulling the full-price trigger on a new season item is a commitment but it can also be incredibly rewarding.

The Australian-based Cettire has emerged as a prime destination for new season savings. The appears to work like a market place, like Farfetch or Italist and is able to offer a currency advantage in addition to great markdowns.

Full disclosure:  I’ve personally placed two orders with  Cettire and both have been canceled. Numerous shoppers reported satisfying experiences.

If there were a big showing for fashion week we would be sure to see lots of capes. If you’re going with a high-end version, you should consider the Saint Laurent cape that’s $1133 from $2900 US. Trendsetters will also need a coat with a super long hemline. This Loewe style is gorgeous for $2000 from $2900 US.

Some other items we spotted include Moncler hats with fur poms for $250 from $400 US (lots of color options) and Bottega Tire boots are $900 from $1150.  We also spotted these new-style Prada rain/snow/winter boots with a little pouch for $980 from $1500-ish. We like the non-lace up new style but there are also short ones available.

We suggest that you search Cettire tire for any trend that is tempting your desire to see if it’s priced any less than it would be locally. We suggest you don’t wait on super hot items. You can already see that they won’t be available for much longer.

There are only a few more beach weekends left before the unofficial end of Summer. It’s time to put down the White Claw and it’s not a moment too soon because that stuff is actually disgusting– but in the best type of way.

I would love to say that I’m still hunting for ultra reduced bikinis and sandals but it’s not as interesting as it was a few weeks ago. I’m now turning our attention towards transitional items that get me excited for a new fashion season while remembering that it isn’t very likely that we will return to a  going-out lifestyle any time soon.

Shoes seem to have taken the place of the new season IT-bag. Some new seasons standouts include the “Tire Boot” from Bottega Veneta and the oversized chain slide from JW Anderson. Pre-pandemic, Gucci tried relaunching the 1961 Jackie bag but then pulled it back. This season we are looking forward to the re-relaunch. I think the overall trends this season will be skewed towards wild eye-catching items and very classic pieces.

Some notable markdowns of the season include a host of Missoni wraps, ponchos, and pillows. Prices are already reduced to 80% on some items and if you use the code GOCRAZY to save an additional 25% on purchases over $150. These Missoni pillows come to $112 from a retail price of usually $300 and this classic knit poncho is $52 from $350. It’s impossible to say no.

Looking back on the past week, 24S has a tiered promotion that will save you up to 25% off when you spend $500 or more. The details and codes can be found in the original post. We were excited to apply the savings to lots of Moncler and Givenchy items.

This week, the Nordstrom Anniversary sale went public. The designer options aren’t plentiful but we did a great edit or the best pieces over here. Some standouts include Hunter Boots for $99 from $150 and a Tom Ford beauty set for $88.

Farfetch is offering 20% off sale merchandise with the code 20FAR. The problem is nearly everything we want is excluded. You can click over to see a review of how we shopped the sale — or more accurately, didn’t shop the sale.

One of our favorite sales of the week was from Coltori. You can save an extra 25% off sale items with the code DEALMOON25. Some standouts included a pink Mansur Gavriel bucket bag for $350 from $600. This YSL smoking jacket is $1000 from $2250 and here is a double-breasted style. Over this way is a Fendi logo pencil skirt that’s $465 from $1100 US and this Dolce & Gabbana bustier is $330 from $735. 


Intermix is kicking off the new season with lots of great wardrobe building staples. You can click here to see my favorite pieces from the collection. Don’t miss the leather leggings or light knit cropped sweater to help ease you into cooler temperatures.

That’s it for now folks. Until next time… same time, same place?

There are so many unknowns for the coming year. The health crisis has changed the way we live and has shifted the way we dress. This season, I am organizing my wardrobe around wearable foundation items that can be used to enhance the fashion I already own and amplify current trends.

This week, the Parisian-based, 24S is offering discounts that can save you up to 20% off on new season merchandise. The discounts are tired, so the more you spend the more you save.

Remember, even if an item is full price, you’ll save by not paying sales tax or duties. It’s hard to compete with that.

The sale selections at our local haunts are getting pretty dismal but overseas stores are much better stocked and the discounts are starting to get competitive. Farfetch started a promotion today where sale merchandise is discounted an extra 20%. Use the code 20FAR to engage the additional discount.

The situation is such that many designer items are not included in the sale. Another blip we’ve noticed is that some of the stores that sell on  Farfetch are inflating retail prices. To top it all off, prices seem to switch way too frequently to confidently post prices.

Among the bags, we found this Fendi Kan I  and a silver Bottega pouch. It’s available in black too. A nano-size Eden bag and this YSL quilted camera bag is $960 from $1850– if you can get the code to work. Among the shoes, there are these Fendi slingbacks,  Fendi ankle boots and Saint Laurent Tribute platforms. Golden Goose sneakers are $240 from $450.

Frankly, the Farfetch experience isn’t supporting a lot of confidence. It’s absolutely worth checking but maybe for items that you have previously been stalking.
