Every well-stocked closet needs a silk scarf (or two, or many). It’s never been more true than this season where the scarf is taking the stage as the most versatile accessory. The silk square can be worn around the neck, in your hair, or even styled as a top. Larger sizes can be used on the beach or pool as a pareo and in a pinch, it can be used as a face mask.
As Mother’s Day approaches thought it was the perfect time to spotlight this classic accessory as the must-have item of the season. This simple square offers a lot of bang for the buck and with a little bit of imagination can be used in a variety of ways.
Hermes silk scarves are the golden standard but we also love a great Pucci or Missoni print. A Versace motif is always perfect, the Gucci florals are works of art and a Dior oblique is as Haute as they come this season.
If you’re thinking of offering a scarf as a gift, you can pair it with the book How to Tie a Scarf: 33 Styles. We also love the old Hermes scarf catalogs as a gift accompaniment. Alternatively, you can click to the Hermes website where there are lots of tutorials and ideas.
There really are no right or wrong answers when it comes to tying your silk scarf. The only faux pas is leaving them unworn in the boxes. (Guilty!)
Denim seems like the logical option as the weather transitions into the warmer season. Jeans and a tee. Jeans and a leather jacket. A dress with a jean jacket. One step above sweats but restrained dress up.
This is the perfect time to grab some wear-now dungarees. Frame is hosting an online sample sale where lots of great items are reduced up to 80% off. You can use this link to enter the sample sale section. The selection includes shorts, tops, bags, shoes, and of course, the American gold wardrobe standard of jeans.
Some highlights include tapered cropped jeans for $65 from $235, a cropped jacket for $125 from $345, white flared jeans for $125 from $255, and a denim blouse for $75 from $270. The sale also contains lots of accessories and wardrobe basics. Sandals with ankle straps are $100 from #325, a small tote is $65 from $225 and this double-wrap belt is $50 from $245.
This week I had an impulse to buy a gown. I don’t have any place to wear it but I have the strongest desire not only to dress up but to fully gala. With no exaggeration, I spent at least 10 hours scrolling through dresses
The exercise was quite useful. I confirmed that most formal gowns are horrendously ugly. I also found myself gravitating to the same designers that I have always loved. As a matter of fact, any dress I’ve ever wanted I already own or considered buy and would be happy if I did. If you hit the jump I posted pictures of dresses that haunt my dress-up dreams. Some of my current favorites are Toni Maticevski, Brandon Maxwell, Alexandre Vauthier, Mohammed Ashi (Ashi Studio), and Delpozo. Of course, there’s lots of vintage inspiration too.
Now, I just need to figure out is where to wear this said gown. Will it be La Grenouille, Le Bernardin, Indochine or Mansion Diner?
Moving on to this week’s sales, I must admit to possibly overindulging. I leaped when I notice that the exact color of the exact Bottega bag I wanted was about 30% off what it costs locally. As a matter of fact, TheDoubleF has lots of new season designer items priced lower than in the US and you can save an additional 10% off with the code WELCOME10. This mini Jodie in aqua is a find at $1300 from $1800 US. You can click here to see all of our favorite finds.
Earlier this year we happened upon a newish luxury online discount store called MadaLuxe Vault. The most notable items were a great assortment of Bottega Veneta home accessories and Gucci scarves that were all reduced 50% or more.
This is always a fun time of year. Stores are quiet, the fashion is fresh, and sale season is right around the corner. Once markdowns begin, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the best destination to buy a specific item. It’s best to prepare now.
With a little twist of technology, we are making it a lot easier to find the right item for the best price. Haute Pursuit is a desktop browser extension that actually scans thousands of websites to find alternative sale options while you’re already shopping. You can click here to download the extension to your browser now. (Unfortunately, this feature cannot be used on mobile devices.)
We recently added dozens of new sites in our most recent update. That means that you’re more likely to find a great deal while you’re shopping. If you know exactly what you want, you can click the Haute Pursuit icon in your toolbar and enter a search term.
Haute Pursuit will scan your key term against 1000s of retailer’s websites to find you all the matches that are on sale. The extension can be used with Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.
Let’s say you’re shopping on Italist for a Fendi dress. You find a great black and white color combination and see it’s already reduced over $265. Not bad, right? Without even another click Haute Pursuit offers you all the other sale options for Fendi dresses. What do you know… The same dress is available for even less. SCORE! Total savings: $300.
It’s doubtful that the exact item could be found without hours of work. Same with these Balenciaga bubble slides. We thought $565 was an okay price but were thrilled to save an extra $50 here.
Downloading the Haute Pursuit extension is very easy and will immediately engage. Just one note for Chrome users: After downloading, hit the puzzle piece next to your search bar and hit the pin icon. Feel free to contact us at hello@hautepursuit.co if you have any questions, feedback, or comments.
If you’re looking for savings on the hottest items of the season it’s usually best to shop early in the season. European sites inherently offer designer fashion at about 10% to 15% off US prices when the currency exchange is favorable. When you can add an extra promotion the savings becomes even more meaningful.
Right now, the British site TheDoubleF has lots of great designer items priced lower than in the US and you can save an additional 10% off with the code WELCOME10. Just take note, the site does not include duty. Items over $800 may be subject to taxes in the amount of 9%. That still translates to a nice savings over US retail prices.
Intermix started a flash sale that will save you 30% off a selection of fill-priced and sale merchandise. The promotion isn’t slated to start until Wednesday but you can use this “VIP link” to access the savings now.
