    Vince Camuto Friends & Family

    Few companies can do Zara’s “reinterpretation” of designer fashion as well as Zara. Of late, Vince Camuto has been doing a fine job competing with Zara’s off-the-runway fashion for a fraction.

    What’s even better is the brand’s mid-season discount promotions. Now through Friday, Vince Camuto boutiques are offering 25% off shoes and accessories as part of a friends and family event. Online shoppers can use the code FRIENDS at checkout. Check out these Jimmy Choo-like moto boots and these practically Gucci riding boots.

    Take note, Vince Camuto clothing is not included in the friends and family sale.

    The 5 Best Deals in Vintage

    Shopping for vintage used to be a no brainer– amazing designer pieces for a fraction of the retail price. Today, that great savings isn’t always a given. For instance, if you were to shop for a pre-owned Chanel bag, you might only save 10% off retail. Not really worth the hassle, in our opinion.

    Although resale and vintage have skyrocketed in price, there are still some hidden gems that are insanely stylish and great values. We’ve put together a list of our favorite fashion items that can be had at a true discount. Click here to see our best kept secrets.

    The IT-it: Frame Denim

    Just when everyone is saying that the denim market is dead, there comes along a new brand to excite jean lovers. For the past several months we’ve been hearing about Frame Denim. It’s the designer on everyone’s lips (and hips). Miranda Kerr, Karlie Kloss, Heidi Klum are all Frame devotees and you know that if they look good in them– so will you??!!

    All kidding aside, Frame’s Le Skinny de Jeanne holds your figure without losing shape, even after several days of wear. One friend speculated that the secret to their hold and flatter is that they are woven from unicorn hairs. So what do you think? Should we give them a shot?

    Inside the Life of a Madison Avenue Spy

    Ever wonder what it’s like to be a Madison Avenue Spy? Elite Daily joined me for a regular day of spying for the “I Want Her Job” column.

     
    Can you have it all?

    “I think I kind of have it,” she says.

    “My personal utopia is being able to work and still be able to be with my family and kids while still having my own time and not missing out on those special moments.”

    J. Crew Offers 25% Off

    It’s still early in the season to find great sales but that doesn’t mean you can’t take care of shopping promotions. After all, 25% off something you really want to own is better than 50% off what you don’t need. Right?

    Right now, J. Crew is hosting a sale where almost all full priced merchandise is 25% off.  (Just use the code SHOPFORFALL at checkout.)

    Sometimes we find that J. Crew can be hard to shop but some items are absolute wardrobe staples. For example, Pixie pants are a must-have for a girl (or woman) of any age. They are universally flattering and are perfect to wear with everything from this season’s oxfords to knee-high riding boots. A shiny puffer vest or jacket is perfect for pumpkin picking season. Suede ankle boots are perfect for the first day of fall and Elsie pumps are dead ringers for Manolos or Jimmy Choos but cost a lot less.

    Madison Avenue J. Crew shoppers should be sure to “remind” their sales person about the discount when checking out. We find that J. Crew employees often “forget” to apply the discount.

    No Hermès Sale This Season

    You no longer need to worry if you haven’t received your VIP invitation to the Hermès sample sale. It’s not happening.

    Sources close to the company tell us that Hermès prefers to liquidate past season merchandise within select boutiques. Since most of the past merchandise is gobbled up during the markdown, there isn’t enough inventory to host a compelling sample sale.

    Very few stores ever host sales. Annual markdowns can be found at the Wall Street Hermès and the Hermès in Bergen County, NJ. Take note, leather goods are never on sale and they couldn’t have been found at the sample sale either.

    Although, Hermès decided to abstain from a sample sale this season we wouldn’t be surprised if one is scheduled before Spring. Those looking for their golden VIP invites should make a concerted effort to stay close to your Hermès sales person over the course of the year. (Read: buy more.)
