For the first time ever, Jonathan Adler will be hosting a sale in stores and online. Discounts will scale up to 50% off.
The sale will begin Friday, July 27th and run through Monday, July 30th. We were given a little sneak peek into what will be included in the markdown. The most highly reduced items are small accessories. For example, the Full Dose salt and pepper shakers will be reduced to $25 from $48 and the ‘Les Girl’ box will be $35 from $68. Among the furniture, discounts are a two-tiered side table that will be $900 from $1450 and a plush swivel chair will be $1700 from $2750.
We doubt that the Palm Springs collection will be included in the markdown but how fabulous would these urns look inside a pre-war unused fireplace? We are also a little bit in love with these beach towels, which are already reduced to $65 from $98.
All things considered, this sale seems nearly as good as the warehouse sale and it alleviates a trip to the Bronx. We call that a win-win.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the public today, which is just the excuse we needed to give our bikini lines a rest. 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.
This year we were extra efficient with our shopping trip. We browsed online and then emailed ahead with our shopping list. When we arrived at the store, everything we chose was waiting in a fitting room. It was truly a VIP experience. (We highly suggest it.)
We sorted and browsed through the entire inventory from the women’s, kid’s, beauty and home sale sections. Click here to see pictures of what we took home and click the links below to get some for yourself. Below are some of our favorites items:
It doesn’t look like the confusion will end any time soon. As a matter of fact, right now is an opportune time to add (or start) your collection. Right now, you can save 30% off an assortment of Tilbury products.
Some of the sale highlights include the Beach Essentials Kit, which comes with cream blush, mascara and eyebrow gel and it’s now $67 from $97. The Mini Lipstick Charms come with three mini-lipsticks and it’s now $27 from almost $40. The Bronzed Beauty makeup kit comes with the Overnight Bronze & Glow mask, mascara, Wonderglow primer, a lipstick, eyeshadow pencil and tinted moisturizer for $148 from $213.
If you don’t see what you like on the Tilbury site, we suggest you browse the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. There are several bundles of popular Charlotte Tilbury products. This lipstick set comes with two shades and a lip-liner for $60 (normally $90). The Glowing Skin Set comes with Wonderglow primer, Magic Cream and Magic Night cream for $75 from a normal price of $128. Supermodel Body XL Shimmer Shape, Hydrate & Glow is $75 from $214. We haven’t tried that one yet but seems like it’s worth a shot.
That’s the wonder of makeup. You never really know.
The streets are steaming from rain and heat. What to do when you need to get out of the over air-conditioned environment? Head over to Manolo Blahnik boutique’s second markdown. The sale starts on Monday and we’ve been told that the inventory is running practically at full stock.
This most recent markdown follows the 40% discount but proceeds the final and best shopping opportunity of the season. The final markdown is always one of our favorite sales and will likely take place at the end of the month. Prices normally range from $195 to $350. Most shoes and low boots– even highly ornate styles– are priced at $250.
Expect to find a full assortment of shoes from the summer collection. Personally, we are waiting to make our major purchases. After all, everyone is out of the city. You can click here to see the reports from Manolo’s past final markdowns or slide through the pics to see what similar discounts can be found online.

Neiman Marcus is now offering discounts up to 80% when you take an extra 20% off designer clothing, shoes and bags. This promotion is available in stores and online.
This sale runs through Monday (and then there will be a ‘extra bonus day’ on Tuesday.) We don’t expect prices to get any lower. We suggest you grab what you need now and wear it right away. After all, there is nothing better than wearing a great sale find while it’s still in-season.
We highly suggest that you immediately Uber or click over to Bergdorf Goodman where you can now save an extra 20% off of Summer merchandise. Discounts on clothing already topped 75% and the additional promotion brings the final savings to 80%. As a matter of fact, the prices at our violet home-away-from-home are more reduced than, even, Neiman Marcus.
This will be the last markdown of the season at Bergdorfs. The best part is that sale merchandise is returnable. Not all stores– ahem, SAKS– is offering the same low prices and top service.
Prefall merchandise has arrived and now the race is on to move out the older collections. Moda Operandi is the most recent site to slash prices. Right now, you can save up to 80% off on many major fashion items.
Among the most discounted merchandise are these Ellery pants that are $178 from nearly $900. Truth be told, it looks like the fit can be awkward. These high waisted pants from Rosie Assoulin are also 80% off and come to $300 from almost $1600. There are sandal slides designed in collaboration between Tabitha Simmons and Johanna Ortiz that are $167 from nearly $600. This Delpozo dress is reduced 70% off but is dreamy and not over-the-top expensive at $928 or we can easily be persuaded to buy this peplum top for $420 from $1050.
This is the last “hard markdown” at Moda. There will be lots of intermittent promotions where you can save an additional 20%. You can also rest assured because the Moda sale usually runs long after the other stores move out their clearance.
Nordstrom is known for having great sales. There are two in particular that can send a city girl shopping in the burbs: The “Half-Yearly Sale” and the “Anniversary Sale.” The Half-Yearly sale is clearance, usually towards the end of the season. (Like, now.) The Anniversary Sale is a presale before the new collection hits the department store floor.
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale starts today. The sale consists of a catalog of pre-Fall merchandise that is discounted 25% to 40% off. Each department has its own special items that are featured in the pre-Fall sale. You can sift through the catalog right here.
The presale runs to July 19st but is limited to customers who have a Nordstrom credit card. Afterward, on July 20, the sale opens to the general public. Prices return to normal once the sale ends in August.
Back-to-school items are especially attractive during this Nordies sale. For example, you know your kids want new Adidas sneakers for the start of school and they are right here for $36 from $60. Nike Cortez kicks are $45 from $60. (There is really no reason not to get them!) Over here is a Herschel Supply backpack for $50, which is normally $75. There is also a large amount of swimwear in case you need to do a mid-season refresh. We even spotted Bugaboo Cameleon that’s discounted to $800.
The selection this season isn’t quite as good as last year but there is still a lot of temptation. It’s interesting that designers have realized that pre-gaming sale season is better than post-season markdowns. Don’t forget to also check out the beauty deals. We are always a sucker for a new shade of lipstick or an updated nail polish
