    The Barneys Sale (Finally) Begins

    The Barneys sale usually begins over the Memorial weekend but this year shoppers have been left in suspense. Fret no more, the Barneys sale is on!

    Head this way to begin shopping online. Most designer clothing and shoes are 40% off and handbags are reduced by 30%. Second markdown usually begins in mid-June but the hottest items will sell out within a day or two. Clearly more variety can be found in stores but shopping online is sometimes too tempting.

    We used Net-A-Porter’s sale as a guide of what items are most likely to sell out first. All the links in our lookbook are the hottest fashions of the season. If past performance is indicative of future results, this merchandise will be gone within a day. Among the this season’s fastest markdown sellers are the Chloe Alison tote , this Erdem dress, these bedazzled Marni platform sandals and the Lanvin hologram sneaker.

    Please share what items you see going fast in the comment section below.

    Net-A- Porter First Designer Markdown

    Online shoppers get clicking! Net-a-Porter’s summer sale started today. The luxury website’s first designer markdown ranges from 30% to 80% off. The sale includes practically the entire spring-summer season worth of clothing, shoes, bags, accessories and lingerie.

    We suggest that you begin loading your shopping cart, merchandise tends to flies off the NAP’s virtual shelves. The best deal is currently in the denim section. A variety of Paige jeans are discounted 80% including these skinny high rise’s that are $42 from $210. Most of the other clothing is reduced 50% off. We especially like this Kenzo stretch knit dress that’s $343 from $685. That eyelet Thakoon Addiction dress with illusion we’ve been eyeing all season is now $245 from $490 (and in the cart). This Roland Mouret chantilly lace dress is classic style perfection and is reduced to $1770 from $3535. A playful Moschino shift dress is summer perfection at $250 from $500.

    Shoes are reduced up to 50%. These Mother of Pearl slip-on sneakers are pretty cute and are reduced $192 from $385. Truthfully, though, we would be just as happy with $40 Vans. Gianvito Rossi python mules are $735 from $1050 and Marni slides (Birks) are $511 from $730. (Note to self: Shoes this season are surprisingly ugly!)

    The discount on most handbags is just 30% and a majority of the most desirable styles like Alexander Wang’s Rocco and Pierre Hardy color blocked bags are already sold out. Among the sale jewelry is this Shourouk Swarovski crystal necklace for 50% off or $290 from $580. This dainty Eugenia Kim crystal headband is $67 from $112 and this Alexander McQueen silk scarf is $255 from $425.

    While shopping you will notice that the season’s most iconic pieces sell out quickly. Don’t feel bad if you don’t catch exactly what you’ve been eyeing. You’ll just be sure to be faster when Barneys puts their sale online later this week.

    DVF Sample Sale Wrap-up

    The Diane von Furstenberg sample sale is back. Today the sale opened to a huge crowd of shoppers. Although there is a lot less current season inventory than normal, there is a great selection of $50 samples that can’e be beat.

    Usually this sample sale is fully stocked with the designer’s wrap dresses but this season there doesn’t seem to be too many of the iconic DVF item. Instead, you will find a real scattering of past seasons’ fashion. A majority of the merchandise seems to be from past winters. There are coats and leather items as well as sweaters and jackets. There are no shoes, swimsuits or traditional beach coverups.

    Prices are a bit better than usual. All dresses are $100 (they normally range from $125 to $150), jackets are $90 and blouses are $60. Leather and fur is priced at $150. The more ornate cocktail dresses and gowns are also $150. Sizes from from a petite zero to 14.

    This season there is also a lot more $50 samples than usual. In total there are six full racks and we are told that there is a lot more sample inventory that will be pulled out as the sale continues. We found leopard print dresses and blouses, puffer coats and lots of interesting items that could not be pegged to a particular season or collection.

    The best part of the sample sale is the handbag selection, which includes our favorite red patent leather lip clutch for $175. There was also another gorgeous clutch with real stingray for the same price. Smaller clutches are $75 and a large assortment of scarves are $60.

    As always, the DVF sale is a worthy shop. The open stock may be more scattered than normal but a little bit of digging can yield some major rewards. We expect price cuts to start Wednesday. Jump on the jump for more pictures and pricing details.

    DVF Sample Sale
    Tuesday, May 27 through Sunday, June 1
    Tues 10am—9pm, Wed—Thurs 10am—8pm, Fri 9am—7pm, Sat 11am—7pm, Sun 10am—4pm

    Hervé Léger’s 70% Off Online Sale

    Many of us are familiar with Hervé Léger’s signature bandage designs by the seemingly endless list of Hollywood starlets and Bat Mitzvah guests donning his form fitting dresses. Now you can fit right into the a-list crowed and save 70% off on HerveLeger.com.

    Usually, when we see Hervé dresses on sale, they are several seasons old or a very strange style. This clearance promotion, however, includes a great variety of dresses that are seasonally perfect. This red, white and black colorblock dress is just $387 from almost $1400, an ombre one shoulder dress is about $900 from $1500 and this yellow and black a-line version is $435 from $1450.

    Take note, that all these sale items are final sale. The bright side is that sizing doesn’t change from season to season. Most dresses also seem to be fully stocked in a full range of sizes. We don’t know how long this sale will last. We wouldn’t suggest procrastinating too long.
