    Saks Friends & Family Online Now

    The Saks Friends & Family sale doesn’t officially start until Thursday but the sale just went live online today. The discount is 25% off most everything that isn’t designer. Jewelry is 20% off. Just use the code FRNFAM when checking out.

    This season there seems to be more designer exclusions than ever. We estimate that there are more than 200 designers not participating in the discount. Sure, we’ve become accustomed to the Chanel and Louboutin embargo, but we are surprised that even brands like Jet Set and Gryson are opting out. At this rate it feels more like shopping hype.

    If you’re really looking to take advantage of the available discounts, we suggest starting in the sale section. Most everything that’s already reduced is eligible for an extra 25% off, which brings the savings to 75% on some items. This Nanette Lepore leather and illusion skirt comes to $273 from almost $600, an emerald green Kate Spade jacket rings out at $285 from $648 and this white Thakoon eyelet dress is more than 75% off from $1220 to $366.

    Take note, Saks has underscored all of the items that are included in the friends and family promotion. (We can use all the help we can get.) Just look for the Friends & Family tag below each specified item. As always we suggest waiting for the Private Night promotion that happens during the first week of November. Most designers are included then and the discount is 40%.

    Shopbop Friends & Family

    The hugely popular Shopbop friends and family sale is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday. Once the sale begins shoppers can use the code FRIENDS25 and save an additional 25% off most items on the site. Of course, there are designer exclusions but Shopbop’s list isn’t too bad. You can click here to see the full list of where the code won’t work.

    The best part of this sale is that you can apply the discount to previously reduced merchandise. For this reason, we always like to start our browsing in the sale section. We are obsessed with these Chrissie Morris Wink pumps that come to $330 from $985, this slinky Vionnet long sleeve dress rings in at about $500 from $2260, and 3.1 Phillip Lim marbleized pants are about $100 from $450.

    Some less expensive and more causal options include this BLK DNM jean top that’s now about $50 from $170, an Each x Other sweatshirt with leather fringe is about $130 from $527 and Paige Denim high waste zip jeans are about $75 from $209.

    Remember, the code won’t go into effect until Tuesday. In the meantime, we suggest loading your cart up now. It wouldn’t be the first time the site went down from too much traffic. The three day sale ends Thursday. Get shopping.

    Celebrating finding America isn’t what it used to be. Banks are open and so is the the NYSE. Chances are, if you’re not in a union– you have work. Even so, it is the perfect day to go “sailing.” Shopping online is just too easy, especially when online discounts are better than much of what you’ll find in stores. Here are a few of our holiday favorites:

    Barneys Warehouse
    The famous Warehouse (website) is offering shoppers an additional 30% off almost everything on the site and an extra 40% off clearance merchandise.

    Barneys-Like Closeouts at 80% Off

    We spend a lot of time trolling eBay. It’s the obvious place to pick up vintage and preowned wonders but this week we unearthed a collection of brand new designer clothing that is worthy of Barneys. The best part is that the merchandise is between 65% and 80% off.

    Head right this way to see all the Suno, VBH, Preen and Clover Canyon that we uncovered. We also have a few tips on how to haggle for even better prices. Some times, we wonder what we would do without online shopping.

    Louboutin x Disney = No Joke

    Designer collaborations have become as commonplace as sushi takeout. We just never expected that Christian Louboutin would take the Disney route for an exclusive Angelina Jolie Maleficent shoe. No. We ware not kidding.

    “The curled heel and nude mesh base hint that something sinister is afoot,” says a news release. Yes, it is evident that this entire concept is twisted. The only “silver lining” is that profits from sales benefit the SOS Children’s Villages, an NGO supported by Jolie that provides stable, loving homes for orphaned and abandoned children in 133 countries.

    The limited edition shoe, is $1400 and drops exclusively at Louboutin boutiques on October 20 in New York, Los Angeles, London, Hong Kong and Paris. Call now to place your preorder but we would personally prefer takeout from Tanoshi Sushi.
