    Giglio Discounts on Fall Collections

    It’s always fun to explore a distant store’s fashion online and then have the opportunity to physically visit. The experience is usually a lot different than you imagine but there are always nice surprises.

    Giglio, has stores in Milano and Palermo and is deliciously Italian. The boutique carries local contemporary brands like Pinko and Twin Set in addition to all the luxury brands you would expect to find in an upscale multi-brand store. 

    To encourage international exploration through the ease of your fingertips Giglio is offering 15% off Fall merchandise with the code MID15. The discount isn’t huge but the bright side is that you can find a lot of items that are difficult to source or are already sold out at other retailers.

    Over this way, we found a Bottega Veneta Airpod case that comes to $382 from $450 and this is the first time we spotted a Bottega Veneta Cassette belt bag. It rings out at $1020 from $1200. Here is a mini woven Jodie for $1462 from $1720. 

    This Prada Spectrum bag is new this season and this new little Prada Matinee has a retail price less than it would be in the US and comes to $1800 from $2450. The same goes for these Golden Goose sneakers that come to just $213 from over $500 usually. The code doesn’t work for Gucci but if you’re looking for Lamé Princetown slides, they have them here. 

    All shipping is free for purchases over $150 and all duties are already included in the price shown. That means there is no tax and no surprises. 

    Weekend Shopping: Obsessions & Impulses

    After years of discontinuing designer discounts, DSW served up some major discounts on Gucci shoes. Prices are discounted up to 70% off. Styles have been selling out fast but the website seems to be restocking daily. We suggest you continue to check back even if what you want has sold out. 

    Once upon a time, New York discount shoppers had numerous options. There was Loehmann’s, Daffy’s, Filene’s, Syms, and Century 21. Now there will be none. On Thursday, Centruy 21 announced that it filed for bankruptcy and will be closing all 13 stores leaving behind an era of shopping legends.

    The stories that would emerge if those racks could talk. The life lessons learned from the “Back Room” to the home of “Clothing Bargains for Millionaires” educated generations of deal hunters. They were shopping destinations where even a little bit of money could take you far. 

    Everyone has a story. I still remember the way my hand was shaking 20-years ago when handed over my credit card to be swiped to charge a $900 for a $2500 Prada coat at Century 21. So much lust. So much adrenaline. So much doubt. 
    There were real bargains on real designer labels. All New Yorkers quickly learn that nothing lasts forever. and this chapter of shopping has unequivocally come to an end. TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack will never offer the thrills that were provided by the traditional and independently owned discount store. How can they? Without falling too far down the path of nostolgia we will persevere. 
    Those looking to spruce up their wardrobes for Fall can find good discounts on MatchesFashion. The code EXTRA20 will save you an additional 20% off. Highlights include a Fendi dress for $1300 from nearly $4000, a Marine Surre dress for $370 from $1120, and a Balenciaga shirt for $340 from $825. Lots more on the full post over here
    In an absence of Fashion Week, we started diving into the chunky sole boot trend. There are numerous options to stomp your way into tough-luxe, including options from Stella McCartney Bottega Veneta’ and lots more. Check out the more over here.
    With international shopping on my mind, I clicked over to the UK version of Net-A-Porter and was amazed by the deals and that’s even after the currency was exchanged to US dollars. There is a Gucci apple tee that’s $442 from $690 US retail and a small Gucci belt is $325 from $360. Read up on how to sort for the most savings here.  
    Lastly, if you’re in New York and want some old-world discount shopping feel you can head to 375Showroom’s clearance sale. Designer merchandise from Off-White, Palm Angels, Amiri, and more are up to 85% off. You can find all the details here.
    That’s it for now folks. Until next time… same time, same place?

    Net-A-Porter UK: Lots for Less

    How much fun is it to travel and shop? It’s one of the things I’m personally missing most this year. I can’t tell you how many times I have made my way through London and ignored the fact that the British pound isn’t equivalent to the US dollar. 

    It makes it feel like everything is on sale. That is– until you get your credit card bill. But by then, you’re already home and it’s too late to do anything about it. With international shopping on my mind, I clicked over to the UK version of Net-A-Porter and was amazed by the deals even after the currency was exchanged to US dollars. 

    Some of my most exciting finds were among the Gucci items. This Gucci apple tee that’s $442 from $690 US retail, a small Gucci belt is $325 from $360, Jordaan loafers are $700 from $790, a jacquard hat is $450 from $590, tights are $110 from $120 (if you can find them), and a metallic double-G sweater is $806 compared to $980 in the US.

    Be careful, not all items are less expensive and some pieces will cost you even more money. The key to finding good deals from abroad is to stay under the $800 price point, which is when duties kick in.  Another key point is that all shipping is free over $200 pounds or $257. 

    The IT-It: Chunky Soles

    In times like these, some tough-luxe might be in order. No matter how you stomp it, the thick-soled boot is one of the biggest standout trends of the season. The first steps towards this trend started in Fall 2019 with the advent of lug boots from The Row, Bottega Veneta, and Prada

    Those styles are just as hot as last season but there are many more options. This season there is the advent of the tire sole, which is heavily treaded. Bottega Veneta’s “Tire” version is offered in a variety of colored soles. Stella McCartney’s ($975) iteration has heavy treading topped by a contrasting sole and stitching. Alexander McQueen ($850) stepped up its game with this short version, which is a dead ringer for the Prada short Lug boot ($890). Gucci’s version ($1100) is crowned with jewels along the ankle and the Fendi’s ($890) are surprisingly nondescript. 
    There are so many options that you can easily opt for a less expensive chunky sole. After all,  a Chelsea boot with a thick bottom is not entirely unique. Here is a rainboot from Ganni that’s just $245 and the classic Dr. Martens thick bottom boot with a faux fur lining will only set you back $190. 
    Whatever iteration you choose, it’s how you style them that will ultimately warrant their appeal. Remember, there is a fine line between a posing street-style-attention-seeker and the instinctively stylish mortal.
