    Net-A-Porter Clearance 80% Off

    The Net-a-Porter clearance sale kicked off today and many items have been reduced to 80% off. This third markdown is usually a shopping frenzy and the best items disappear rather quickly.

    There is quite a bit of clothing reduced to 80% off retail but a lot of it appears to be from the past Summer season. This can workout well if you’re socking up on what to bring on your next vacation. Among items you can wear now (in freezing New York) is this Erdem velvet trimmed dress that’s $1170 from $5890, a marigold Isabel Marant cable knit sweater is $236 from nearly $800 and a funky print Moschino skirt is just $79 from $400.

    If you’re shopping for an upcoming vacation get ready to make some tough choices. We love this Dodo Bar Or crepe top that’s $84 from $420, a classic Norma Kamali ruched one piece is $70 from $350 and a striped Moschino dress is $135 from $675.

    Among the shoes discounted 80% you’ll find black and white Dorateymur low boots that are $122 from $610 and Francesco Russo lace up boots that are $390 from $2000. At 70% off these tall Gianvito Rossi shearling trimmed boots are a good deal for $570 from $1900. Velvet Etro Mary Jane pumps are $282 from $950 and Nicholas Kirkwood pumps with a pearl platform are $300 from $1000.

    We sincerely suggest you hop on the site as soon as humanly possible. Even while creating this post items were disappearing. Don’t forget, we mainly focused on merchandise at 80% off. There’s a huge amount of product that is discounted 70%. Happy shopping and please feel free to share your conquests in the comment section below.

    Barneys Extra 20% Off Coats, Shoes & Bags

    Luxury retail stores are feeling the pressure to make room for the new cruise collections. In doing so, extra discounts promotions are being used to entice shoppers to ‘buy more stuff.’ Right now, Barneys is offering an extra 20% off already reduced coats, shoes and bags.

    Over this way, we found a Mr. & Mrs. Italy fur parka that comes to $3700 after the additional discount (originally $9260) and a Masscob cropped peacoat comes to $239 from $600. Among the bags, there is a red Lanvin Jiji shoulder bag that’s $950 from nearly $2000 and an Altuzarra white hobo (perfect for vacation or Summer) is marked down to $927 from $2900.

    The shoe selection has a lot more options. Maison Margiela metal heel low boots are $471 from $1480 and Manolo BB pumps are about $220 from $700. The assortment in the store is even larger and the extra discount also applies to Chanel and Louboutin. There was even an ugly Chanel shoe siting where the final price was 80% off retail.

    We don’t know how long the markdown will last but we can’t imagine it will be for very long. Barneys usually ships out its winter Merchandise before February.

    Cruise 80% Off at Intermix

    Now that it’s really cold we can’t stop thinking about getting away to someplace warm. Okay, we admit, the trip is already booked and we are counting down the days. In less general terms that means we are stocking up on what to pack.

    As is always, nothing from last Summer seems sufficient. For that reason, we have been stalking the sales racks for clothing to take on vacation. Even if it’s from last season, we are happy if it’s new.

    We found the best selection at Intermix where the discount is topping 80% off.

    Sure, we’ll take this Rag & Bone straw fedora that’s $79 from $225. A romper for $69 from $400–why not? Polka dot shorts can’t be that bad especially when they are $50 from $235. Definitely grab this Self Portrait dress for $190 from $510.

    See, with just a few pieces it feels like an entirely new wardrobe. Now, you have even more for which to look forward.

    Neiman Marcus Last Call Sale: Third (Final) Markdown

    Neiman Marcus is the latest department store to take their winter merchandise to the third markdown. The discount at Neiman Marcus is officially up to 70% off and that includes some great shoes styles too.

    We spotted Jimmy Choo metallic flats for $177 from $590 and Sophia Webster floral d’Orsay heels are $227 from $650. We also suggest you check out the handbag section where there are still some highly desirable brands available in the markdown section.

    Neiman Marcus discounts are mostly the same as Bergdrof Goodman. This Lela Rose embellished coat is $870 form $3500. You can’t miss this Akris skirt that’s $150 from $600 and it’s still available in a full size run. We really love this Derek Lam bi-color oversized sweater that’s now $300 from $1200 and an Alexander McQueen jumpsuit is $1400 from $5800.

    Even though this is the final markdown, that doesn’t mean there won’t be additional discount promotions. Neiman Marcus often surprises customers with an additional 25% off discount or buy-more-save-more incentives. No worries, we’ll keep you posted.

    The IT- It: Off-White Binder Clip Bag

    It’s a new year and, of course, there are new trends.

    Off White, which was launched in 2013 quickly became a streetwear brand with a large cult following all over the world. The brand originally made it’s name for it’s spray painted menswear but it’s the woman’s accessories that are catching fire.

    During Paris fashion week, Off-White’s Virgil Abloh (also Kanye’s creative director) presented a women’s collection that was displayed on the ground like traditional counterfeit merchandise. The see-now, buy-now collection was a hit and the Binder Clip Bag ($950) stole the show. The bag is quite minimalistic but punctuated by a binder clip closure and accompanied by an extra guitar strap that looks like a police tape with the company logo.

    The bags quickly sold out when they became available after the fashion presentation but stores have recently been restocked. All the European sites sold out immediately but it appears as if the American market is a little behind on this trend. Right now, the Binder Clip Bag is currently available at Barneys (white is sold out), Maxfield (LA) and Hirshleifers (LI, NY).

    We suggest you jump on this newest must-have right now or you’ll stalking this relatively affordable it-bag until the next restock. We have no idea when that will be.
