    Nordstrom NYC’s First Presale

    Nordstrom opened it’s first woman’s store in Manhattan only a few weeks ago and now we are moments away from the store’s first sale. Presale will begin on Friday and the sale will officially go public in the store on November 24. You can click here to see what designer merchandise has already been discounted online.

    As we started to prepare for the Nordstrom presale, it quickly became clear that the store didn’t open with many of the items that would normally go on markdown at other Nordstroms around the country. The bulk of styles that will fill the sale racks at the high-end Nordstrom stores in Scottsdale and Dallas are not stocked in NYC. In addition, many of the handbag areas at the NYC store are leased and will not follow the standard Nordstrom markdown.

    In the jump, you will find some pictures of what we know will be part of the presale in New York and additional photos from around the country. We also listed key contacts at various locations. As always, we will add more pictures to the post as they become available.

    Some designer merchandise is already discounted online. Discounts range from 25% to 33% off. Some of the standouts include this Chloe shirtdress that’s reduced to $1762 from $2350 and a Versace print belted dress for $1500 from $2000. Gianvitto Rossi shearling boots are $1120 from $1500 and Balenciaga pointed toe boots are $1100 from $1475.

    We spotted this Saint Laurent printed tote for $972 from $1900. a Balenciaga small camera bag is $750 from $925 and Aquazzura mesh pumps are $600 from $795. This Gucci scarf is $665 from $950.

    Contemporary brands are presently reduced up to 30% to 40% off.  We spotted Halogen cashmere sweaters that come in an assortment of jewel tones for $65 from $98, which is an excellent price for mid-market cashmere. Hunter tall boots are $99 from $150 and this Lafayette 148 leather skirt is $718 from $1200.

    Online shoppers can also take advantage of a loyal gift card promotion. If you spend $500 you will get $125 gift card, spending $300 will earn a $60 gift card and spending $150 will get you a $30 gift card. The incentive runs through November 19.

    Remember, Nordstrom is great about price matching. If you see something, say something. Well, um, screenshot and call.

    Saks Presale Begins 40% Off

    Saks Fifth Avenue will begin it’s seasonal presale Thursday morning. We headed over early today to start gathering information about what shoppers can expedct.. The markdown is 40% off on most items and the selection has some unexpected twists. The sale officially goes live online on Monday.

    The main floor of handbags is a little hard to navigate. Many of the spaces are leased by the brands and not cooperating in the markdown right now. For example, YSL bags in NYC will not be part of the presale but will be available at a discount at other Saks stores throughout the country. The same is true for Louboutin. Valentino bags at the 5th Avenue will be discounted by 40%. A Mini Rockstud crossbody in light blue and light green will be $807 from $1345.

    You can click here to see some pictures of what’s included in the markdown. We have non-NYC Saks contacts listed below.

    The presale racks weren’t erected on Wednesday but we had a few helpful spies to assist in curating a selection of pictures. The Gucci selection consists of some classic style Princetowns, sneakers, and a variety of sandals and slides.  These Gucci sandals are already available in blue for the sale price of $247 from $500. The green, pink and brown should be reduced online soon.

    Balenciaga Triple S sneakers and Speedrunners are part of this season’s markdown. The SSS’s are available in a variety of colors and come to $680 from $975. We have pictures in the jump and also tagged the styles above so that you can add them to your cart when the sale goes live online.

    The Saks shoe selection also will consist of a great assortment of Manolo Blahniks heels and flats and Valentino Rockstuds. Valentino shoes are discounted by 30%. Black-on-black
    Rockstuds will be $591. Louboutin shoes will be reduced by 30%. Leopard Pigalle Follies will be $521 from $745.

    Fendi, Givenchy and Jimmy Choo shoes will also round out the collection fo sale shoes. We have lots of pictures in the jump and will be sure to add more as they become available.

    If there is an item you like that’s on presale at Saks, we suggest you jump on the opportunity. We’ve listed lots of contact information. The sale goes live online on Monday (and more designers on Tuesday). It wouldn’t be a bad idea to fill your cart now and use the weekend to edit.

    Shopbop & Intermix Markdowns 50% Off

    Is there any better way to close the day than with a good scroll through the most recent markdowns? We couldn’t agree more. Shopbop and Intermix just launched a round of reductions, which includes lots of new season merchandise that’s reduced 30% to 50% off.

    You can click here to access the VIP selection on Intermix. Some standouts include a WeWoreWhat jumpsuit is $125 from $225. It looks so good on Danielle Bernstein that we are tempted to give it a try at this price. A Rejina Pyo mohair-blend sweater in sunshine yellow is $419 from $700. We are also very into this Phillip Lim belted sweater for $390 from $650. Ombre blouse is very on-trend this season and this silk variation from Olivia Rubin is wallet-friendly at $169 from $335.

    There aren’t a lot of noteworthy shoes and bags in the Intermix markdown. We suggest you look now and check out when the next round of better designer markdowns occur.

    Over at Shopbop, you will do much better in the accessories category. We really like these classic Stuart Weitzman classic low boots that come to $416 from $600, Malone Souliers pumps are $430 from $625, and these Alice & Olivia animal print low boots are the cats meow at $345 from $500. These patterned Golden Goose sneakers are $260 from $515. You can bet that this Hayward mini shopper bag is less money than what you will find at the sample sale at $200 from $800.

    Beyond the shoes, we really like this Frame blazer that’s now $437 from $625 or this more collegiate Veronica Beard blazer is $520 from $700. There is a good selection of Nili Lotan. These classic military pants are $225 from $375 and a leopard blazer is $417 from $695.

    Both these sales only include a small selection of the fall and winter merchandise. There will still be lots more to come. Stay tuned1

    LuisaViaRoma 40% Off Sale

    Singles Day seems to have overtaken Black Friday when it comes to luxury fashion but the deals aren’t done. LuisaViaRoma has a promotion where sale merchandise is an additional 40% off. You can use the code EX40 to engage the extra savings at checkout.

    I’m kind of crazy for these Midnight 00 heels. They are standard pumps but wrapped with PVC, which creates a dramatic flair. After the discount, they come to $391 from  $1300. Here is a similar style in a nude mule.  Boyy boots come to $390 from $750. They are also available in burgundy and brown suede. These Gia Couture two-tone high boots are $300 from $823.

    These Alexander Birman sandals come to $140 from $416 and are a no-brainer for something new to take on a winter get-away. Speaking of a cheap thrill, these Ioannis sandals with shells come to only $60 and they also come in nude too.

    It’s hard to call out a lot of fashion items because the style is so unique. I am drawn towards these waxed canvas black pants from Danielle Carlotta that are $230 from $620. This Dodo Bar Or sundress is $350 from $840 and this heavy gage Missoni sweater is $555 from $1055.

    There is also a hefty sale section for kids.  What’s good, will all depend on what sizes you’re shopping for.

    The most reduced items are obviously from this past summer and prior. Some items aren’t even worth the price at 40% off but I had a lot of fun carting some cheap thrills.

    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.”
