    Stay Warm at the Annabelle Fur Sample Sale

    Staying warm and stylish is never easy when it’s very cold. When temperatures drop there is no better way to keep warm than in fur, cashmere or down.

    Ahead of the foreboding cold, Annabelle is hosting a sample sale that’s sure to warm your heart, body, and wallet. The sale will include a large assortment of high-quality fur coats, vests, jackets, and accessories. Prices will be well under wholesale.

    Annabelle manufactures the highest quality outerwear and chances are you have seen their products at the biggest department stores under several different labels. Cashmere coats with fur details are $300. Basic down jackets start at $60, which is less than Uniqlo. Down jackets and coats with fur are $300 and they are ten times better than any coat you’ll buy off of Amazon. Fur vests are $200 and kid’s hats with fur poms are just $30. You can see pictures from the last sale right here.

    The sample sale will also include a variety of cold winter accessories, like knit hats with fur pom-poms. (Seems like a perfect holiday gift to me!) Of course, you will also be able to find an assortment of high-quality coats ranging from a full mink to fox and other exotic skins.

    Once you’re geared-up and looking great, it won’t matter even if it’s cold, cold, freezing.

    Annabelle Fur Sale
    Wednesday, November 13 through Friday, November 15
    10am-6pm daily

    Singles Day: Sales Galore

    Singles Day is the Chinese version of an anti-Valentines day. Really, what’s there not to love? Celebrating social freedom with shopping.

    We.Are.In!

    The shopping-focused day first started in 1993, by a group of Chinese college students, to celebrate the state of being single. The date November 11 (or 11/11) was chosen because of the ones– obviously. Elevens, according to numerology, is a “master number” which signifies intuition, insight, and enlightenment.

    We’ve started to think of Singles Day as ‘Treat Yourself Day.’ After all, we’ve never turned down an occasion to shop and buy something nice. Retailers are jumping in on the trend too. There is a great assortment of sales over the weekend. So in light of this day of spiritual consumership, we’ve highlighted some great places to shop and a few things we wouldn’t mind “single-ing.”

    Sephora Insider Event (Re: Sale)

    The bi-annual Sephora Beauty Insider sale starts today and shoppers can save up to 15% off on all their beauty wants and needs. The retailer loyal VIB Members earn 15% off and all other shoppers can save 10% off. You can log into your account and use the code HOLIDAYSAVE to engage the savings at checkout.


    We highly recommend you use this opportunity to try out a Dyson hairdryer. I first tried it myself at the Rosewood Hotel in London and it was the first purchase I made when arrived home. The discount will save you $60 and we love the red case that comes with it.

    Be sure to look through the holiday gift sets. The holiday promotional items are already available and there are some good bundles. Here is a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick-lipliner combo ($35), a Pat McGrath lipstick trio ($25), Dr. Denis Gross Alpha Beta peel ($88), the Dr. Barbara Strum Flight Essentials kit ($225) and the Laneige Hydration Dream package ($39).

    The promotion runs through November 11. I’ve listed all my favorite beauty items below. In non-blogger talk/ real human terms, that translates to mean the I actually buy myself.

    Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (5.75 $60)

    Dior Diorshow Mascara (Black $29.50 )

    YSL Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick (Smoking Plum $38)

    FWRD Markdowns: Discounts 70% Off

    This is a quiet week for sales but the calm won’t last for long. Thanksgiving turns out late this year, which leaves fewer shopping weekends before Christmas. We’ve already had a sneak peek of the markdown schedule and can tell you that it will be earlier and even more aggressive than last year.


    Before the holiday shopping mania begins we took a scroll through Foward / FWRD and found some hidden gems. Most of the sale section is 50% to 70% off but most items fall in between. This adorable Valentino Rockstud mini-tote is $1090 from $1945, Saint Laurent leopard pony hair booties are still available in a variety of sizes and come to $838 from $2000. We also found these Franceso Russo slingbacks that are causing major 70s vibes.

    Take note, this is a forever sale section and the most reduced items are only available in limited size ranges. To avoid too much frustration, we suggest you eliminate anything that’s not in your size. It also never hurts to check back periodically.

    Sample Sale: Moschino, Alberta Ferretti & More

    Shopping at a sample sale that is civilized and offers a great selection is few and far between. It’s for this reason we love to visit the Aeffe showroom and score current season merchandise at about 60% to 70% off.

    The selection will include an assortment of clothing, shoes, and accessories from Alberta Ferretti, Moschino, Fuzzi, Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, and Cedric Charlier. There will also be a small section of merchandise for men. A cashmere-blend sweater from Alberta Ferretti will be $617 from about $1800, a Moschino Boutique newspaper print dress will be $216 from $675 and a Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini gown will be $415 from $1295.

    Discounts at Barneys Begin

    Update Nov. 15: Barneys is offering a discount of an extra 10% off. Click here to see what’s available, which is about the same as what we found on the site last week.  

    Clocks have dialed back but Barneys is springing forward with its a plan to begin inventory liquidation. Today the first wave of nominal discounts passed down throughout the store and online.


    Most items have are currently discounted either 5% of 10%, depending on the brand. If you’re looking for more savings, we suggest you wait until after November 15. That’s when all purchases become final sale and when we believe the better markdowns will begin.

    For now, you can use this time shop for items you might never see on sale. Hermes housewares are now 10% off. It’s not sample sale discounts but there is no line either. This Balcon print ashtray is $635 from $700. (People must be buying them because there is only one left already.) Little square plates in the same print are $85 now.  The same 10% discount has been applied to Baccarat.

    Moving out of housewares and into fashion, most Gucci is reduced by 5%. Sizes are already running thin for Brixton loafers. Delveaux bags are discounted by 5%. YSL is 5% off too. Balmain clothing is reduced 10% off.

    Take note, Goyard is a leased space at Barneys that merchandise was never part of the Barneys inventory. Goyard will not be discounted. Loewe, Celine, Fendi, and Givenchy are not reduced at all, which leads us to believe that they will be removed from the store momentarily.

    We wouldn’t suggest you buy anything that you wouldn’t normally have purchased at full price. We are sure more aggressive markdowns are to come but don’t think that the best items will survive to rock bottom. As you can see from the inventory levels of Gucci loafers, even a little discount drives customers on when the item is wanted.

    Neiman Marcus 80% Off Clearance

    We started to feel the Sunday evening blues settling in but then remembered about a great sale. Right now, you can save an extra 30% off sale items online at Neiman Marcus.


    Once the additional 30% is accounted for the discount tips towards 80% off on some items. Here is a Chloe jacquard dress that comes to $377 from $1800, a one-shoulder dress from Redemption is $273 from $1560 and a metallic silver skirt from RtA is $121 from almost $700. We bet the sample sale isn’t even that good.

    We’ve been in the mindset to add a new coat into our regular rotation and found this Rosetta Getty trench for $435 from $2500.  This  Gabriela Hearst cashmere coat is $872 from $5000 and a Kobi Halpern wool blazer is $188 from $600.

    The shoe selection isn’t very good and the handbag options are essentially nonexistent. Even on the sizes in the clothing assortment can be very spotty. The best option is to sort by size before you being any serious browsing.

    This promotion Neiman Marcus promotion ends on Tuesday. This is the least expensive any of these items will ever get. The next stop is Last Call, when the merchandise is brought up to first markdown range.
