    Neiman Marcus Gift Card Event

    No matter how much we try to resist, there are always a few items we need immediately. Considering sale season is more than three months away, finding a good gift card promotion could be your best (and only) discount option.

    Starting Monday,  Neiman Marcus is offering customers up to $300 in gift cards. The gift card incentive breakdown is below.

    Spend $500 or more and receive $100
    Spend $750 or more and receive $200
      Spend $1000 or more and receive $300

    The sale runs online through August 23. The best part is that there are hardly any exclusions and the promotion includes beauty and fragrance items. Just use the code NMAUG at checkout to automatically receive your electronic gift card.

    Some fashion pieces never seem to go on sale and others we just refuse to wait for. For example, living another moment without this Brandon Maxwell bustier top would be pure torture.  And we all know the Chloe Drew bag in the sweetest powder pink is never going on sale nor are those Christian Louboutin booties that we completely wore out last year.

    Once you get started, it’s hard to stop. After all, any incentive is reason enough start the new shopping season.

    The IT-It: Fashion Worthy Handbags

    New Yorkers are as obsessed with handbags in a way most people are invested with their cars. See, nobody ever sees our cars. So, we don’t really care. Our handbags, on the other hand, are representitive of our personal style. After all, some cost more than a small car.

    Every season brings a new crop of hot it’bags. Try as you must, it’s sometimes hard not to fall for what’s destined to become a fashion cliche. In honor of the new season, we’ve picked an assortment of our favorite bags on the market. We’ve steered clear of the ubiquitous Birkins and 2.55s and opted for the breathtaking Delvaux Tempête GM satchel and the Blackout bag from Balenciaga, which has no hardware.

    Both bags represent an understated luxury but don’t sacrifice style. Use the above scroll to see more of our favorite new bags for this season. Just remember, many of the most fashionable woman carry no bag because their Escalade is waiting around the block.

    Farfetch Discounts Top 75% Off

    Farfetch is known for bringing the world’s most popular fashion boutiques, local and emerging designers and brands to a single website. It almost makes us sad that we can shop our favorite Italian boutiques right here in New York. Some might say it takes away the adventure but it’s realistic to think that anyone can hop on a plane several times a year and great each new collection from their favorite stores.

    One of the other great things about Farfetch is that it makes markdowns available globally. Right now, the site is offering discounts of up to 75% off. We are told this is the last week to take advantage of these steep discounts.

    Here’s a Dolce & Gabbana dress that’s 70% off. Too bad it still comes out $2550.  Then there is this Stella McCartney sleeves shirtdress that’s $760 from $2500. Here’s a Givenchy Love cardigan that’s $740 from $1200. It’s really perfect for early Fall. Don’t you think? 

    One thing that we’ve noticed is that many American brands are more expensive when sold from foreign stores. We suppose that’s what happens when you pay duty twice. Speaking of which, all prices include duty and returns are free for 14 days after your purchase is received.

     What’s even cooler, is that Farfetch has click-and-collect service, which allows customers to purchase items online, then pick them up from any of 100 boutiques around the world. Best part, there are no associated shipping charges that can easily become expensive.

    We were amazed to find classic Chanel ballet flats that are priced at just $550. They usually range in price from $695 to $950. The store also carries this season’s Chloe Faye bag with rainbow patchwork that’s reduced to $1840 from $2450 and this Valentino Rockstud zip clutch is $980 from $1395. Our favorite is the Gucci Dionysus Sequin-Embroidered bag that’s $3040 from $3800. (Click here to see pictures from inside the store.)

    Be sure to check out the assortment of Chanel bags  and men’s ties. It might not be this season’s collection but it’s hard to find discounts on such classic items. Speaking of classic, there are also lots of Celine classics priced at 30% off and a large shipment of new Giuseppe Zanotti shoes priced at 60% off retail.

    The Fall IT: Backpacks

    The thought of getting back to school can make anyone anxious but it’s impossible to ignore the fact that teachers are already stocking their classrooms. Aisles are filled with back to school supplies and prudent parents are already tackling their supply lists.

    It’s prime time to start dissecting the most important item for any child (or adult) heading back to the classroom– the backpack. Nothing says it’s a new school year more loudly than the bright and clean glow of a new backpack. Below is a compilation of some of our favorites. There are a lot of good ones. It’s going to be hard to choose.

    The Fall IT: Velvet Block Heels

    The thought of wearing a sweater makes our skin itch but it’s impossible to ignore the fact that fall fashion is here. September magazine issues are arriving and back to school shopping is well underway. It’s prime time to start dissecting the next big trends.

    The season’s hottest fabric is Velvet. The lush textile can be worn crushed, coloured or top-to-toe but our favorite items of the season are plush velvet block heels. Look for jewel colored hues like rich midnight blue, bordeaux and emerald.

    Some of our favorite variations are Gianvitto Rossi’s heavenly Mary Jane platforms, Miu Miu platform sandals, Chalotte Olympia’s velvet and metallic leather platform and Saint Laurent’s Candy platforms, which are almost completely sold out in every size. Be sure not to overlook Dries Van Noten’s ankle boots with a sculpted heel. They are showstoppers.

    If you’re not into clunky, we suggest you opt for Manolo Blahnik’s BBs in pearl velvet, Christian Louboutin’s or Saint Laurent’s pointy toe.

    Some wear-now variations– well wear in September– include Prada’s mixed media leather-velvet sandal platforms and Gianviitto Rossi’s low stacked sandal. If you’re looking for some less expensive options, we suggest you go with a platform sandal from Sam Edelman and a Barneys label Mary Jane.

    The best part about this trend is that the velvet sandals can be worn in early Fall and accessorized by a great pedicure. Once the frost of brutal Winter grabs hold, you can pair your sandals with thick opaque tights. Just make sure that your shoe has a heavy platform to counter balance the weight of the tights.
