Lana Marks is discounting her very finely made exotic skin bags by 50% to 60% off. The sale started earlier this month and will run until the end of this week. We are told that the discount depends on the color more than the style. Beige, brown, and black colored bags are mostly marked 50% off. More vibrant colors bags like red, blue and gray are 60% off.

Buyer beware, Lana Marks may not be as expensive as an exotic Hermes bag but that doesn’t mean the goods wont cause ticker shock. Totes normally range in price from $12,000 to $25,000 and the famous Lana Marks clutch is priced between $6,000 to $9,000.

Just know that the large ticker price does provide high quality. Lana Marks uses AAA quality skins– the highest quality rating. We are told that it’s actually the same quality as Hermes. In contrast, exotic handbag maker Nancy Gonzalez’s handbags are much more affordable because her skins may contain flaws. It’s like a diamond da’rling.

Lana Marks bags are also sold in Bergdorf Goodman and once in a while, at the end of the season, you can find super reduced leftover. Keep your eyes open because great quality should never be compromised.

Few tales are as good as a sweet love story. This dream tale starts with a model. Not just any model but one the type of girl who is sweet, kind, caring and chic. Well, as expected Ms. Magnetic had no problem attracting suitors. Countless men showered her with valuable gifts: diamonds of all sizes, Rolex watches, Cartier jewels. The list goes on and on.

Lord & Taylor is not the usual suspect for scoring great deals on Chanel. You might want to rethink that generalization, especially when the store is hosting their friends and family discount. From April 16 to April 23, Lord & Taylor is offering customers 25% off most items in the store. Cosmetics and fragrances will be priced at 10% off.

So how does Chanel specifically work into this deal? Well, at a time when you might have a hard time scoring Chanel’s hottest summer nail color at Bergdorf Goodman or Saks — Lord & Taylor is fully stocked. The 10% discount is just icing on the cake.

Presale for the friends and family discount has already begun and we suggest you make a list of all your Chanel (and other cosmetic needs) before heading out. After all, the savings may even pay for your cab fare.

We’ve never been one for jumping on the hot trend bandwagon and if you had suggested a Kate Spade anything in the 90’s we would have rolled our eyes. However, Kate Spade in 2011, has a whole new definition. The company’s bags, clothing and accessories are bright and carefree, while adding a bit of spring in your step and summer to your heart.

This week, the company is offering shoppers 25% off friends and family discount on all merchandise. Yes, that includes sale items too!

We found an adorable sale bow cardigan for $150 from $245, a pop-arty straw tote for about $295 from $345 and a silk floral wrap dress for $295 from $395. (Doesn’t it remind you a bit of an Oscar de la Renta dress?) On the men’s side, you can never go wrong with the Jack Spade messenger bag in bright orange, which is $160 from $195.

The sale is only Friday and Saturday (April 8th and April 9th). Kate Spade online shoppers can use the code FFSPR11 to engage the discount. Jack Spade customers can use the online code JACK25 at checkout. We already feel more cheery with the combination of colors and savings. How about you?
