I love pumpkin pie, especially pumpkin pie, but pumpkin-flavored coffee makes me gag. I keep trying it because I feel like I’m missing a cultural admiration but the reaction is the same every time. Yuck! I have the same sentiment about the holiday shopping discussions starting in October. Like Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, the momentum of early holiday shopping is too strong to avoid.

The strategy of finding the best deal is always the most compelling. Haute Pursuit is one of my secret powers that help bring the magic of sale season alive. The browser extension can be used with your phone or desktop. It automatically scans thousands of websites to serve you sale options while you’re already shopping.

Manolo Blahnik suede Maysale mules were an impulse purchase when I spotted them in a flash sale. I got lucky but luck strikes more than lightning when you have Haute Pursuit and they are ready to spice up your look at nearly half off. How could you have known without Haute Pursuit finding the best price options?

Coltorti is a multi-brand store with several boutiques along the Eastern coast of Italy. You can use the code  CRAZYDEAL25 to save 25% off any item without a star but the code DEALMOON15 works sitewide and will save you 15% off nearly everything on the site. Despite how early it is in the season, some prices are the least expensive you will find until third markdowns. If there is an item on your wish list (or maybe list) we suggest you snag it while it’s available. Most items are priced well under US retail and there are no taxes or duties on items under $800. (Items above $800 usually come with a 10% bill.) Below are some of our favorite picks from the site.

Ssense started a Fall sale where you can save 15% with the code FW2022. The designer exclusion list is extensive but we found some opportunities. We uncovered that you could use the code on Amina Muaddi, Valentino, and Mugler among others, Also be on the lookout for beauty brands that are often excluded from promotions. The sale ends on October 10.

At first glance, the FWRD Private Sale can come off as a little bayyyy-sikk but with a sharp eye, we found some truly amazing deals. There is no set markdown, which means you really need to dig and be watchful. The sale selection from The Row is extensive but the discount range is massive running between 20% and 70% off. The same goes for Balenciaga and Givenchy. Below are some of the finds we found but we suggest you do some scrolling of your own.

Sample sales are not what they used to be but even if they were they couldn’t ever compare with a true retail experience. I suppose some people enjoy waiting in lines and love the competition of being the first to dive into a bin of newly stocked, overstock. Personally, I’ve come to enjoy a long leisurely scroll with excessive ‘Add to Cart” taps. In the case of the newest markdowns at Saks Fifth Avenue, that cart could fill up quickly as prices are very similar as to what you would find at a sample sale. In many cases, the discounts are 80% off. Be sure to check out the selection of gowns. There are some really unbelievable options at prices hardly seen at retail. Guess what?! There isn’t a line for the cashier! So check it out now.
