    Savannah’s: 20% Off Manolos, Louboutin & More

    The Stockholm-based boutique, Savannah’s is hosting a weekend sale where everything on the site is discounted 20% off. The online store has a terrific online shoe department. Use the code BDAY20 to engage the savings at checkout. Take note, there are no taxes or duties and shipping is free in most cases. 

    Below are some of our favorite sale picks. 

    Where to Buy Gold Jewelry Online

    As the prices of luxury items skyrocket, jewelry has become increasingly more attractive. After all, a Chanel bag costs about the same as a 2-carat diamond. Shopping for fine jewelry online isn’t easy. In many cases, the values are highly inflated and quality is disguised in vague language.

    To put it bluntly, gold vermeil or gold-filled is not technically considered fine jewelry. Some people call it “semi-fine” but that’s, “fashion jewelry” and not fine jewelry. Fashion jewelry is fantastic in many cases. I for one, however, don’t like to spend lots of money on what’s not a precious metal. Baublebar is my favorite spot for fashion jewelry. The site usually has the most trendy style of jewelry at a very affordable price. 

    Over the past several months I’ve become very fond of the selection of fine jewelry from Saks Off Fifth. Unfortunately, the site includes vermeil styles in the fine jewelry selection but it’s easy enough to scroll away.  

    UPDATE: Through the weekend, you can save an additional 25% off purchases above $150 with the code SPLURGE

    A lot of my favorite items are above. You’ll notice that most if the items are small and inexpensive but that’s the beauty. Jewelry doesn’t need to be big and costly. Sometimes you just need to change it up a little. I love these rose gold and diamond huggie earrings for just $164. They are great for second or third piercings. This wavy gold and diamond band is great for an index finger at $575 from $1150. 

    I put all of my favorite jewelry items in the scroll above. Saks Off Fifth often has additional promotions where jewelry items are further reduced. Be sure to return to this post as I’ll update it as I find more stores with great values. 

    Haute Pursuit: Save Time/ Save Money

    Shopping has become a full-time job. It can take hours to scroll and click through the web to find the item and size you want for the best price. Believe me, I know. 

    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.  

    How it works:

    Let’s say you’re shopping on Italist for a Balmain tank. You’re thinking that Italist is likely to offer a great price because it pulls from multiple stores in Europe. You find a great black-gold color combination and see it’s already reduced to $305 from the normal price of $395. Not bad, right? Without even another click Haute Pursuit offers you all the other sale options on Balmain tanks. What do you know… Net-A-Porter has the same tank for $197. SCORE! 

    It’s doubtful that I would have found this exact item for this price without hours of work. 

    Haute Pursuit is still in Beta testing and doesn’t automatically drop-down suggestions at every retailer but we are adding more retailers every week. Always remember, you can also tap the Haute Pursuit icon in the toolbar and enter a search term to find nearly any item for which you’re in “Haute Pursuit.

    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.

    Weekend Shopping: Impulses & Obsessions

     The old adage is that no news is good news but when it comes to fashion, no news, is well, boring. We are hard-pressed to find any standout trends or fashion must-haves for the new Spring season. 

    Insiders say that Summer deliveries won’t actually appear in stores until May, which means we are stuck scrolling a lot of the same. There are a few key seasonal items that are making waves. 

    One is the Hermes clog. It’s probably the most defining shoe of the season. Good luck finding a pair. Stores are making a hard push for the Prada Sneaker pump but I don’t see many consumers taking the bate. 

    When it comes to bags, dare I say, Coach is making the most commotion. The Tabby bag seems to have caught the sights of many first-time bag buyers but I have yet seen any in the wild. The Telfar bag is nearly impossible to find unless you don’t mind spending about $50 above retail. If you aspire to be an influencer or are inspired by an influencer you probably already have a Louis Vuitton Coussin

    For now, we will have to do with what’s for sale at stores now. This week has been filled with friends and family sales. The best fashion selection is at Saks Fifth Avenue. Discounts are 25% off many popular brands and 20% off jewelry. Some of my favorite items include  Love Shack Fancy lavender sweater ($273 from $365), a Cinq a Sept trench ($46 from $595), and Piranesi amethyst and diamond stud floral earrings ($2420 from $3025).  Mother’s Day isn’t too far–hint. hint. You can see more of my favorite items from the friends and family sale in this post. 

    Neiman Marcus also kicked off its friends and family this week. Shoppers can save 25% on full-price Spring merchandise or 20% off jewelry. There aren’t a lot of good fashion brands included in the promotion but you can find some big wins among houseware items. The home selection might be better than the fashion. There is a nice assortment of AlessiKartelMatouk linensKim Sybert, and Chilewich placemats that are 25% off.  You can click here to see our favorite finds

    We can now add Bloomingdales to the list of friends. The discount is also 25% off and there is an additional bonus of an extra $25 of rewards for every $100. The best find is that Baccarat is included in the promotion but the discount is only available at the store. A Nespresso machine with frother and coffee is $229 from $480. All-Clad baking sheets are $64 from $182 and Matouk bath towels are $44 from $75. 

    If you’re looking for higher-end fashion set your sites on D’Aniello boutique. You can use the code MADISON20 to save 20% off most new season items. This Fendi logo cardigan is $1200 from $1590 US, a Prada logo silk top is $800 from $1240 US, and a Balmain cropped tee is $190 from $350 US.

    You can also shop Colotorti and use the code OFFERS25 to save 25% off. This YSL canvas tote is $785 from n$1250, a Bia Bongiasca ring is $425 from $675 US, and Ferragamo mules are $507 from $795 US. 

    Shopbop has markdowns right now where you can save 40% to 70% off 1000s. I suggest scrolling through the options from MarniAcne, and Ulla Johnson for a little Spring positivity. You can see our favorite sale options here

    Net-A-Porter floated a private discount code that works with lots of great brands, like Christian LouboutinGolden Goose, Fendi, and more. Using the code TREAT15 at checkout will save you 15% off your purchase and it can be applied to sale items too. Here is the post with all of our favorite sale picks

    Ok kids. That’s all for now. Next week? Same time, same place?

    Shopbop Markdowns to 70% Off

    I’ve been looking forward to a good Shopbop markdown to ready my wardrobe for a transitional seasonality period. Right now you can save 40% to 70% off 1000s of new markdowns

    Hopefully, life won’t leave us in the deep frost of Winter. I’m looking forward to a more optimistic Spring season. I suggest scrolling through the options from Marni, Acne, and Ulla Johnson for a little whimsical positivity. 
     If the item you’re watching isn’t included in this markdown Shopbop is likely to add it in the next sale drop. Usually, the site adds batches of merchandise every few weeks.

    Nugnes: 20% off Gucci, Golden Goose and More

    Nugnes started a promotion where a selection of Spring merchandise is discounted 20%. You can use this link to access the selection and use our exclusive code MADISON20 to engage the discount. Many items are priced less than US retail and there is no tax or duties. The sale ends March 20. Our favorite items are below. 

    Saks Friends & Family Sale: 25% Off New Arrivals

    Sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue and Shopstyle
    The Saks Friends & Family sale starts today. Shoppers can save 25% off select apparel, shoes, handbags, jewelry, and accessories. The best part is that there are lots of very transitional items that can take you from chilly Winter mornings to warm Spring afternoons.

    At this time of year, it’s always so easy to get overly excited with the warmer weather and spend the entire day freezing because you’re underdressed. We put together the perfect early Spring ensemble that will look great and feel great all season long. 
    We just love this Love Shack Fancy lavender sweater ($273 from $365) and drawstring pants ($296 from $395). On an April showers type-of-day, you can match the set with this Cinq a Sept trench ($46 from $595) and Acne Studio velcro sneakers ($285 from $380). We have been stalking these Piranesi amethyst and diamond stud floral earrings ($2420 from $3025) and the Saks Friends and Family event is the perfect reason to buy now. They also happen to match the sweater set perfectly too!

    The Saks friends & family event runs through March 22. This is a great opportunity for big savings on what you need now, as the next markdown won’t be for some time.
