This is one of my favorite times of the year– hot days, hot sand, and, oh yes, hot sales.

This is the time of year when fashion fantasies become a reality as markdowns begin and expensive grail items become financially attainable. Haute Pursuit is one of my secret powers that help bring the magic of sale season alive.

Haute Pursuit is a browser extension that can be used with your phone or desktop. It automatically scans thousands of websites to magically serve you sale options while you’re already shopping.

Just today, I was looking for Valentino platforms on the Neiman Marcus site, and poof, Haute Pursuit alerted me to the same pair on Italist for nearly $400 less. A Versace bobo bag was found for $600 and it served up Fendi slides for $500 less.

Update: MatchesFashion is offering an extra 20% off final reductions with the code EXTRA20.

We are leaning into the hottest days of Summer. Obviously, we’re talking about markdowns. MatchesFashion just started its final markdowns where discounts top 70% off. There is a very small bag assortment but there are some great shoe finds to grab. Look out for the new Mach & Mach discounts and Rene Caovilla. Lots of more great finds are below.

If you’re looking for super deals you need to click over to Saks Off 5th. Right now, you can save an additional 25% off most items on the site. The total savings comes to over 80% off on lots of designer merchandise. Don’t miss the Missoni and Brunello Cucinelli deals. They are insane.

There’s nothing we don’t love about Summer but the combination of Summer sale shopping and travel takes the cake. Saks Fifth Avenue just started a promotion where you take an additional 20% off Designer Sale items. Use code ACTFAST20. Like those perfect 80-degree sunshine days, the promotion doesn’t last forever.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has become a shopping tradition. Like a festive holiday meal with extended family, it’s not always the most anticipated but it feels remiss to ignore the occasion altogether. After years and years, we’ve come to accept this isn’t a fashion event. Think of “the sale” as an opportunity to try a new beauty product or grab a bit of saving on an item you anticipate needing in early fall.  The sale is still only available to Nordstrom credit card holders but opens to the public on July 15. Below are a few shopping suggestions.

If you’re feeling like you’re the only person not in Italy right now– you’re not alone. For now, you can take advantage os some great Italian shopping from your “beach house”. Nugnes 1920 is a multi-brand store with several boutiques along the Eastern coast of Italy. Today they started where you can save 20% off sale merchandise, which brings the total discount to over 70% off compared to US prices. You can shop the sale edit here and use the exclusive code MADISONX20 at checkout. (Men can shop here.) Taxes and duties are included in all prices, which can compound the savings. The promotion ends on July 18.

Update: Use the code EXTRA15 to save an additional 15% off sale prices.

The flashes of holiday fireworks might still be impressed in your eyes still bleary from a holiday weekend filled with BBQ and booze but fashion waits for nobody. Today, Net-A-Porter started a third markdown where discounts top 70% off.
