    24S: Up to 25% Off New Collections

    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.

    15% off $150+ with the code CVD15
    20% off $300+ with the code CVD20
    25% off $500+ with the code CVD25
    Beware, there are a lot of brand exclusions so you’re not getting away with saving 25% off a new Dior Book Tote but we found some hidden items that are included. (We put all the exclusions here if you want to get an overview before jumping into your scroll.)
    Moncler is one of the excluded brands but the code works with both Moncler Genious and Moncler Grenoble. This Moncler with a fur pom comes to $266 from $355, a shiny black puffer is about $1480 from $1970 and this Genious/ Alyx collab jacket is $1500 from $2000. The men’s options are really good too. 
    Givenchy is another brand included in the promotion. Elastic sneakers are $450 from $600 and a GV3 wallet on a chain is $937 from $1255. These JW Anderson loafers with an exaggerated chain have been catching our eye and come to $480 from $640. 
    The site also has a very good sale section still. These Thom Browne loafers and this Loewe blazer are 70% off. 
    24S  is also a great destination for full price designer merchandise because there is no tax or duties. The Dior section is always fully stocked with the latest and greatest and Louis Vuitton items are priced well under US Retail. This LV Freedom tote is $3410 from $4200 US retail and LV loafers are $550 from about $700 US retail. 

    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.

    Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Goes Public

    The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public on Wednesday at 9:30am, which is just the excuse we needed to ignore our long list of responsibilities. We like to think of the promotion as a Fall pre-presale. It’s always a great opportunity to stock up on items that you will need as soon as temperatures start heading south or even some fun items you can enjoy now.

    We noticed that some of our favorite items sold out right away when the sale opened to cardmembers. These ON sneakers and this Sulwhasoo beauty set were gone in a day. We strongly suggest you make a list of what you want and get ahead of the sale going live.

    We sorted and browsed through the entire inventory from the women’s, kid’s, beauty, and home sale sections. Below are some of our favorites items:

    Stokke high chair $260 from $350

    Hunter boots $99 from $150

    Tom Ford lipsticks & eyeshadows $88 from $126

    Vega sneakers $112 from $150

    Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk Lipset $68 from $91

    Co pleated waist blouse $315 from $525

    Orbe shampoo & texturizing set $64 from $96

    Veronica Beard dress $225 from $450

    La Mer hydration set $90 from $155

    Nili Lotan cashmere sweater $475 from $800

    Farfetch Extra 20% Off Sale

    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.

    Coltorti: Big End-Of-Season Discounts

    A lot of our local stores are completing sale season but that the world is big. Sale season ain’t over just yet! Coltorti is a multi-brand store with several boutiques along the Eastern coast of Italy and they are offering an extra 25% off Spring and Summer merchandise with the code DEALMOON25.

    Some of the more interesting purchases include items from this past winter season. This woman’s Moose Knuckles puffer comes to $233 from about $600, a Mr. & Mrs. Italy parka is $670 from  $1040 and this Woolrich parka with a fur hood is $486 from $1100. Okay, maybe we are getting ahead of ourselves– it’s still August.

    Head over this way to find the perfect 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.

     It’s really worth a scroll. There are lots of gems. It’s also worth noting that there are no taxes or duties and shipping is just $15.

    Weekend Shopping: Impulses & Obsessions

    It’s hard to believe it we are already in the depths of mid-August. Sale season has never gone this long and it’s really beginning to come to an end. On the bright side, that will give us some time to point our attention focused on soaking in the last days of Summer. I really try to use this time to direct my attention towards the kids and create memories that will withstand a decade of time.

    In shopping news, the end-of-season sales are nearly all over. Net-A-Porter will close out their sale section on Monday. There won’t be any additional markdowns or promotions. If there is anything you’ve been stalking, now would be the time to pull the trigger.

    Some of the available highlights include this Tom Ford tote that’s $1200 from $2400. These Givenchy knee-high boots are perfect for fall and ring in at $718 from $1800 and Balenciaga slingbacks are $475 from $950. The best deals are among the clothing.

    It’s also worth noting that the Saks sale is nearing its end. It’s been hard to keep up as new merchandise is constantly being added. Some new finds include this Zimmerman silk blouse for $470 from $900 and these Midnight 00 tulle heels are $333 from $1110. I added some new markdowns to the post here.

    The Nordstrom Anniversary sale will go public on Wednesday. Some of the sale highlights include Vega sneakers for $112 from $150 and this La Mer mini hydration beauty kit for $90. You can click over to our Nordstrom post to see all of my top picks from the sale.

    The LuisaViaRoma new season sale is worth a check-out. The newest fall collection is reduced 20% off. No code is needed. The discount is automatically applied once items are placed in your cart. Some highlights include a Mansur Gavriel pouch that comes to $480 from $600 and a larger size Jacquemus bag $500 from $630. More details are over this way.

    That’s all folks. Until next time… same time, same place?

    LuisaViaRoma 20% Off Fall Collection

    LuisaViaRoma is hosting an anniversary sale were the newest fall collection is reduced 20% off. No code is needed. The discount is automatically applied once items are placed in your cart.

    Some of the highlights include this Mansur Gavriel pouch that comes to $480 from $600 and here is another version with a strap that’s $400 from $500.  Manolo Blahnik jeweled “birks” are $770 from $960 and we always love a Max Mara camel color coat as it’s $1350 from $1700. These mid-size Jacquemus bags are always early-season sell-outs and worth snagging for $500 from $630. There are more Jacquemus color and size options here.

    The site still has a very robust sale section comprised of Summer and past season markdowns. Check out this satin embroidered midi-dress that’s $293 from $838 and this linen dress is about $180 from $451. We are crazy about these bi-color heels that are $180 from $365.

    If you’re not averse to full price, the Gucci selection of ready-to-wear and accessories is really great. There are even home accessories, which even includes wallpaper that can be beautifully framed.

    We personally love shopping at LVR. Purchases always come incredibly fast and beautifully packaged. It’s *almost* as good as going to Florance and shopping in person. (Who are we kidding!)

    Intermix: VIP Link to 30% Off

    Intermix started a flash sale that will save you a selection of priced merchandise. The sale isn’t slated to start until Thursday but you can use this “VIP link” to access the savings now.

    Some of the notable items are this LoveShackFancy eyelet minidress that comes to $262 from $375, a SEA sweatshirt is $105 from $150, and this Grlfrnd strapless denim dress is $187 from $268.  This Dion Lee corset is insanity but selling out in many sizes. We love the rose quartz on these Lizzie Fortunato earrings that are now $205 from $295.

    This sale will open to the public on Thursday and be done after one day. The discounts aren’t as good as the sale-on-sale promotions but, at this point, the assortment of good options is plentiful.

    Sephora Sale: 50% Off

    A sample sale consisting of discounted beauty products might not yield enough savings to justify a journey. Give us beauty discounts just a few clicks away and we are on it. Right now you can save up to 50% off a great assortment of luxury beauty items from Sephora.

    Some of the highlights include a great selection of Tom Ford lipsticks that are just $18 from $38 and lip lacquer is $27 from $55.  We also suggest snagging a Marc Jacobs foundation for $28 from $55 and here are Marc Jacobs lipsticks for $16 from $32.

    If you’ve been curious about the Amika hairdryer, this would be a good time to give it a “spin.” It’s currently reduced to $180 from $300. Some people say it’s better than the Dyson. Here is the curl set for $150 from $250.

    The sale section is pretty well-stocked at the moment and there are no lines to check out. (Ha-ha) It’s no doubt that this is an ideal way to shop at Sephora (even if it’s not on sale).
