    Scoop Warehouse Sale 80% Off

    The Scoop Warehouse Sale begins this Thursday at the boutique’s Meatpacking district and Soho stores. Prices will be discounted up to 80% off and will include sweaters, outerwear, dresses, denim, shoes and handbags for women and men.

    We got a sneak peek of some of the merchandise that will be included in the clearance promotion and have to admit that it was a bit underwhelming. Highlights include sn Iro silk dress that will be reduced to $89 from $372 and Stuart Weitzman booties that will be just $119 from almost $500. You see, the prices are really good but it’s the selection we question.

    Once upon a time this sale included great Missoni pieces, Philip Lim, Chloe and we once found an Alaia sweater. Yes, you can find a surprise here and there, but most of the merchandise is the Scoop in-house brand, Rag & Bone and DVF. Men tend to have a better selection at this sale with the inclusion of Martin Margiela and Paul Smith.

    The sale runs through Labor Day and will also run online. We suggest surfing from your iPad at the beach because we doubt there will be many items worth missing the last few rays of summer sun.

    David Yurman Sample Sale

    David Yurman is hosting yet another sample sale starting Wednesday, August 13. Discounts normally range from 30% to 60% off retail. The sale will only run for three days and could be promising considering the fact that the brand usually only holds clearance sales in March and October. Extra overstock, perhaps?

    We didn’t find many classic Yurman pieces during the last sale. We did, however, find a lot of Petite Albion items. Rings and earrings with semi-precious stones were 30% and 50% off, depending on the particular item. For example, silver and pearl varieties were 30% off. Most of the jewelry selection was composed of link-type items and a few cable styles. Most of the iconic cable pieces were discounted just 30%. The watch selection was quite limited, but all timepieces were 50% off retail.

    If you can’t find time within your day to make it to this sale, The David Yurman outlet is always a good alternative.  There are five outlets in the US and their locations are listed here.

    If you head to the back quarter of the store, you will find the entire area filled with deliciously colored discounted fashion and accessories.

    Pics of Bergdorf Goodman’s Final Markdowns

    Most department stores started their last markdown several weeks ago and the opportunity to snag the season’s best fashion for a discount is coming to a close. Today we took a tour of Bergdorf Goodman to get a feel of the selection and values that remain.

    Right now, almost all of the clearance items have been consolidated to the sixth floor. The selection is much smaller than we would have expected but there are several pearls among the sea of discounts. A beaded and embroidered Alexander McQueen leather balaro jacket is a show stopper and reduced to $1869 from $7460, a Givenchy blazer in that fantastic floral print we all love is $640 from $2550 and the matching pants are $249 from $990. A white Vionnet dress is $399 from $1585 and a Kenzo denim dress is just $159 from $645. Pictures of all the aforementioned items are right this way.

    Heading down to the shoe department, there are still several racks of shoes that are discounted 60% off. Among the assortment are a few styles of Chanel shoes. A blue and white stripped pair of Chanel pumps come to $330 from $795, canvas print booties are about $520 from $1275, pony hair boots come to about $1000 from about $2400 and patent leather booties with the iconic woven chain are $585 from $1450. Clickity-clack here to spy all Chanel shoes that are 60% off.

    We are told that the sale merchandise will be around until the end of the month. Frankly, there aren’t a lot of super items left. The online selection is different but might be even better. If you’re planning to pre-shop for Fashion Week, now would be the time.

    ShopBop 70% Off Clearance Explodes

    Fall fashion is pushing aging beachwear and sun dresses to the back of stores. In the online world, the clearance tab is the preverbal bargain basement. Today, Shopbop has reduced thousands of items to 70% off.

    After browsing over 2400 clearance section items, we pulled our favorites into the lookbook above. Some of the sale highlights include, a Rodarte dress with an embroidered scorpion that’s $2000 from $6600, a black Moschino dress with a detachable cape for about $900 from $3000 and Maison Martin Margiela python booties for $366 from $1220. There are also lots of less expensive staples like gauzy Eberjey pants that are $36 from $120, a Surface to Air tank with a cutout back is $43 from $125 and J Brand super skinny jeans are $55 from $183.

    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?

    Alice & Olivia 75% Off

    The most wonderful thing about social media is the way that the people we admire allow us to share small parts of their lives. Over the years we have become entirely enchanted by Stacey Bendet’s Facebook feed. Stacey is the eccentric founder of Alice & Olivia and on any given day her candids capture her at home, in her office or even doing a goofy dance with her kids. One thing that almost universally remains the same is the designer’s signature oversized dark round sunnies.

    Now that the Alice & Olivia collection is 75% off, you too can recreate a signature Stacey Bendet look. Try this strapless black maxi dress that’s $121 from almost $500, playful heels (think Charlotte Olympia without the platform) are $81 from $325 and a black fold-over bag is about $100 from $400.

    Once you’ve been inspired, all you need to do is add your own signature oversized sunglasses and make the look your own. Ohhh yes, to do it like Stacey– you must have fun too! That’s always our favorite part.

    Saks Ends Consolidation Sales

    Change has become the norm at Saks Fifth Avenue since it was purchased by the Canadian-based Hudson Bay Company. The first big change was that all third markdown purchases were not returnable. Now, we even have a bigger shocker. Several sources have confirmed that Saks will no longer run their consolidation sale.

    The Saks Fifth Avenue consolidation sale was a time honored tradition when the department stores’ smaller retail locations sent their leftover inventory to the regional flagship. Over the years the discount and layout of the sale had changed drastically. Most recently, the 9th floor was the destination for the bargain basement event but the “real consolidation merchandise” and the best markdowns didn’t get truly attractive until several weeks after the promotion was announced.

    We suspect that the new Saks policy means that the overstock inventory will be used to stock SaksOff5th stores. This new game plan makes perfect sense due to the rising popularity of outlet stores and the rising prices of designer close-outs. It makes more sense for Saks to recycle merchandise from their stores than to buy new inventory for their SaksOff5th outlets.

    The Saks Fifth Avenue final sale ended Sunday, now we will have to wait for the merchandise to hit the outlet.

    Intermix Extra 50% Off Sale Items = 80% Savings

    Intermix has started their final clearance sale and all sale items are an extra 50% off, which brings the discount above 80% off on many items. Don’t let the start of August cause you to completely direct your fashion attention towards fall. There’s still lots of vacation days for which to dress up.

    When shopping this late in the season we like to try and pick items that are wearable now through the warm weather months of autumn. Our wear now and wear later picks include, leopard print wide leg pants from 10 Crosby Derek Lam that come to $110 from $375, Sara Battaglia fringed shoulder bags for $330 from $1200, Markus Lupfer foil lip tee for $30 from $150. This Barbara Bui leather jacket is perfectly on trend for fall in every way and is priced at $460 from $1700.

    Remember, just because an item is being sold as part of summer clearance doesn’t mean it needs to be stocked away come Labor Day. In reality, most non-beach clothing can be worn well into October.
