    Hervé Léger 70% off

    The online discounter, The Outnet, just started an Hervé Léger where the discounts exceed 70%. The sale includes lots of iconic bondage dresses and variety of mini a-lines.

    Check out this one shoulder ombre bondage mini-dress that’s $636 from $1590. Even during the boutique’s final markdown this dress didn’t make it under $900. This color block mini-dress is quite affordable at $469 from $1340 and this sequined stunner is $805 from $2300.

    Right now, full size ranges are still available. Can’t say that will be the truth for long. Also, keep in mind, The Outnet offers same day delivery in Manhattan. That type of service can be quite valuable –especially during fashion week.

    Cool Coats for Fall and Winter

    Summer is unofficially over and Indian Summer is upon us. That means it’s the perfect time to start plotting out what to wear when the weather becomes unmistakably cold. Every season, there are always so many options, styles and colors that it’s almost impossible not to find several to love.This season is no different.

    Nordstrom has a great variety of coats that can fit almost any fashion need. We love this reversible belted coat from Max Mara ($3250). The light weight felt and muted hue are a perfect combination. A coat in winter white, like this one Armani Collezioni ($2175) always brightens a gray winter days. Then there are the oversized coats that are topping every trend list, this season. The look starts with rounded shoulders and enough interior room to layer heavy knits and blazers. This Trina Turk wool and alpaca coat ($625) from Nordstrom is perfectly oversized or you can try a more feminine twist on the trend with this more traditional Akris wool coat ($1690).

    Everyone this season is looking for the ideal blanket coat in a geometric print.  Be sure to avoid bulk underneath: go with bare legs or skinny jeans, and you can cinch it with a thick or skinny leather belt. Our favorite style is this Stella McCartney checkered version ($2410). It’s so versatile and can be paired with everything from high boots to slippers or a men’s style loafer. Nordstrom also has a great Burberry version here and this Etro number with a Navajo print ($2820).

    When picking a perfect coat, remember that cool is the operative word. You can browse all of our favorite coats for fall in our curated boutique below.

    The Most Ridiculous Fashions for Fall

    Every season there is a fresh crop of fashion shapes, the-newest-shade-of-black and a fad-of-the-moment. The newness is always exciting but sometimes it seems as if designers are testing the limits of fashion insanity.

    This season is no different. Chanel has created a frenzy over $1300 cross-trainers and magazines are urging women to lose an earring. Why do these Dior pumps remind us so much of dentures?  Click here to see 7 of this season’s most ridiculous fall fashion trends. Let us know if you agree.

    Spanx 50% Off

    Now that Summer is unofficially over, we can take advantage of the Spanx sale without any bikini guilt. The squeeze-me-till-I-bust shapewear company has a online discount section were many popular items are 50% off.

    This high-waisted brief is $9 from $19, this convertible full slip is $44 from $80 and wax denim leggings are $54 from $105. The site even has squeezey choices for men. A boxer brief and trunks are both $19 from $35.

    Lets face it, contouring undergarments aren’t comfortable but it must be better than an old fashioned corset. Right?

    Ralph Lauren Clearance 75% Off

    Ralph Lauren has started another markdown on some of their summer clearance today and most merchandise is now reduced 75%. Although this isn’t the biggest sale of the season, you can still find some great items.

    In most cases, the Ralph Lauren boutique will match the online prices but you will need to wait for a manager’s authorization. In this instance it might just be easier to shop online. This leather-trim short trench comes to just $341 from $1900, this men’s officer pea coat is $350 from $1300 and a RXL polo is $45 from $125.

    You should take note that only a small selection of merchandise has been discounted the additional 50% off. You shouldn’t procrastinate if there’s something you like within this promotion. And it’s always ironic how much more you “need” an item once you can’t have it.

    Shopbop Clearance Under $100

    Shopbop is continuing to add lots of merchandise to it’s clearance sections. The best part is of the newest round of markdowns is the huge variety of items that are under $100. (And it’s not just tees.)  Purchases you make now should be considered an end-of-summer fling.

    Lust over these Clover Canyon dresses in a floral print and garden plaid. They were originally $264 but come to $79, this Jill Jill Stuart long sleeve navy lace dress is $86 from $288 and this Victoria Beckham top is now $98 from $325. If you’re in need of jeans, there is no shortage here. These BLK DNM skinny straight leg jeans are $54 from $180, faded bell bottoms from Rag & Bone are $72 from $242 and waxed IRO jeans are $55 from $184.

    Take note, all these 70% off items are final sale. The no-backsies rule used to really bother us but we’ve realized that we never return anything bought online anyway. (Too lazy.) So really, what’s the difference?
