    Net-A-Porter: Discounts to 80% Off

    The end is near. Net-A-Porter‘s sale is now at 80% off. New merchandise is continually being added. We took a fresh dive into the most recent additions and found some very attractive fashion enhancments. 

    This is really an opportune time to invest in a few items that can enhance your wardrobe but may otherwise be cost-prohibitive. Check out these Saint Laurent red corduroy pants for $495 from $950. These wool shorts from The Row are timeless and will look great with a designer sandal, a crisp white tee, and a Hermes Evelyn. Perfect low-key/uptown playground attire. 

    This is really a sale of what’s left. It’s worth a scroll. Just one item can change your entire wardrobe. We promise you’ll be happy you did. 

    Give Love & Self Love For Valentines Day

    Popular culture has decided that Valentine’s Day bashing is more fun than celebrating. We couldn’t agree less. Who cares if it’s an imagined holiday to promote retail and antiquated relationship philosophies? Shopping and love really can’t be an enemy.

    Valentine’s Day doesn’t require a huge grand gesture but rather something sweet and thoughtful. On the flip side, we don’t know any girl who would turn down a 20-carat diamond necklace from Lorraine Schwartz. Below are some “thoughtful and sweet” gift ideas we love and we think she too:

    Dior’s Official Feb Price Increase

    Many of us woke up today to blankets of snow and new pricing from Dior. As we suspected, the price increases were mostly marginal. Many styles of the brand’s popular Dior Book Totes will cost you $100 more than previously but a classic Saddle Bag saw the highest increase and is priced at $450 more. 

    Below is a sampling of before and after pricing. You’ll notice that rumors of a 30% increase were hysterical. 24s is a great online retailer for Dior. The site is owned by LVMH, the parent company of Dior, and doesn’t charge any duties, taxes, or shipping for most items. You might even be able to find a few bags, like the small Bobby bag and new Spring Book Tote, at the legacy pricing. 

    Weekend Shopping: Obsessions & Impulses

    This week, everyone is buzzing about a huge Feb 1 Dior price hike. No prices have been confirmed but I’ve seen rumors quoting increases north of 30%.  Don’t fall for the Reddit quality hype. My sources say that basic Dior Book Totes are increasing about $100 and more fancy style bags are going up more but, again, nothing has been confirmed.

    The increase shouldn’t influence your shopping drastically. If you were already spending $5000 on a bag, $300 is less than the sales tax. If the purchase was imminent, why not sooner rather than later?

    Keeping a closer eye on sales, the Italian store Giglio took another markdown and is offering an additional 20% off with the code 20MORE. That brings the total savings to about 60% off. Some highlights include this Prada puffer that’s $1120 from $2800, Marsell boots are $400 from $995, and a Vivian Westwood wallet is $57 from $142. 

    Net-A-Porter is offering 15% off an edit of new season merchandise. You can use this link to see what’s available. This Nili Lotan oversized turtleneck is included in the promotion along with this new style Loewe sunglasses

    Yoox is hosting a sale where lots of merchandise is mega reduced. We are talking discounts up to 75% off.  There is so much that you can keep yourself occupied scrolling all night. There are six pages of Gucci items alone. Here is a Gucci scarf for $160 from about $375 and this Prada skirt is $355 from a lot more than what’s quoted. I’m jumping out of this one before I get lost and financially drained. The sale ends Saturday night. 

    Earlier this week, we scored big from the Stuart Weizman outlet sale. Most shoes are discounted 70% off and there are lots of great styles available in all sizes. These stretch suede ankle boots are $175 from $575, knee-high suede boots are $218 from $725, these leather ankle boots with a zipper are $165 from $550, and these boots with a stretch backare $299 from $750.

    As sale season comes to an end I suggest you keep an eye on Ssense. There are still lots of great finds. This Rick Owens bubble puffer feels like a cloud and is $885 from $2270 and this Isabel Marant sweatshirt is $133 from $295. Click-click for more sale picks-picks

    At the beginning of the week, we offered a few ideas for gifts you can give yourself I love this PJ Salvage pajama top ($62) and pants ($62) with hearts all over. Nordstrom also has an excellent selection from Kim Kardashian’s famed line, Skims. I couldn’t help but feed my curiosity with a pair of Shims sleep ribbed boxers ($36) and a Skims Logo-Tee ($52). You can see more here

    Hunt & Gather: 30 Shoes Designer Shoes for $300

    The prices of designer shoes have skyrocketed even more quickly than GameStop. (Not really, but you get the point.) It wasn’t so long ago that standard designer pumps retailed for $600. Now $900 is the benchmark designer pumps. Analysts frequently debate if people are actually spending more money or just waiting longer for deeper discounts.

    After experiencing a season of sticker shock it’s fun to hunt for shoes that are reduced to about $300. We like to think of it as three for the price of one. Above is an assortment of shoes that will cost you somewhere in the $200-range. It just proves that no matter your budget you should never settle.

    Our lineup includes an impressive assortment from GucciManolo BlahnikGivenchyValentinoPradaYSL, and Burberry. Sizes are limited in each style but if you hunt, we are sure everyone can find something to gather.

    MyTheresa End of Season Sale

    MyTheresa always pushes the sale season off until much later than other retailers. As we reach the tail of the season, we can play this as a positive as MyTheresa usually has a much better selection than other stores.

    Right now, you can use this link to access an edit of sale merchandise that’s an extra 20% off. You can only access the assortment through this link. The additional discount promotion brings most items to 50% to 65% off and the selection is really pretty good.

    We spotted this Loewe Balloon bag for $1400 from $2500. This is a great Summer bag and we just love it in white. Valentino style Birkenstocks from to $250 from $520, which isn’t that much more than full price Birks. An Acne shearling jacket is $1344 from $2800 and this Off-White small Jitney bag is $540 from $1125.
    At this late stage of the game, it’s refreshing to come across a sale where there are still sizes available in popular items. We would say that this is probably your last good shot for good merchandise for this season.
