    The Best of Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale

    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.

    Nugnes Extra 20% Off: Balenciaga, Marni, Versace & More

    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.

    Net-A-Porter 3rd Markdown 70% Off

    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. Most of the sale section is comprised of items that were further discounted but there are also some new additions like Loewe. Designers like Jimmy Choo, Zimmerman, The Row, and Manolo Blahnik were reduced again and make exciting buys.

Taxes and duties are included in all pricing. Be sure to check out the great selection of Bottega Veneta, Prada, Saint Laurent, and Moncler.  Below are some of our favorite items.

    Prada Sales Begin: Where to Shop

    Prada is taking the spotlight as the latest designer brand to be added to the markdown aisle. The markdowns range from 30% to 50% off. Prada’s online boutique doesn’t have any markdowns but below are all the best places to shop for discounted Prada now.

    Saks Fifth Avenue
    The Saks Prada selection can be found in this private sale link, Use the code SAKSSALE to engage the 40% off. The sale link could be difficult to engage as it’s tied to email addresses. (I’m in the market for a good hacker if anyone has a recommendation?!)

    Neiman Marcus
    To access the Prada markdowns you need to use this link. You’ll also find lots of great Loewe and Burberry too. The assortment of sneakers seems to be stronger than other retailers.

    Bergdorf Goodman
    The Miu Miu and Prada sale merchandise can be found here in this private link. Again it’s just shoes. We wish there was some clothing and bags. Like lots of good things, those days seem to be over. (If the main link isn’t working try this.)

    Nordstrom
    The selection goes live at 3am on Friday. Most items will be discounted 40% off. The sale selection is quite dated but there are a few classics. Sizes are thin but it’s worth tapping through for a few gems.

    Cettire
    If you’re looking for savings on the newest collections this is where you want to browse. It’s a platform that brings together 100s of independent designer boutiques. You can scour each one separately but it’s handy to sift through a vast assortment in one place. Remember, most items are discounted off or European retail, which means the savings are even larger than what’s stated. Some discounts are lower than end-of-season markdowns. These days, the best deals are snagged early.

    Smaller International retails with great Prada deals:

    TheDoubleF
    Shop here early in the season to find savings on new-in-store collections. Prices can range from 15%-30% off of US prices. Duties and taxes are included in the pricing, so there are no surprises. You can also use the code WELCOME10 for 10% off as long as the item isn’t accompanied by a black box or a “º”.

    D’aniello Boutique
    Markdowns on European pricing. Yes, Please! This is where to go. Sizes are running thin on the markdowns but also be sure to check out the full priced merchandise. Again, you can use the code WELCOME10 to save 10% off full priced merchandise. All taxes and duties are included.

    G&B Negozi 
    This Italian boutique offers the most plentiful Prada collections outside of Prada. We don’t know any store that has such a wide range of options and so early in the season. We find that the prices on puffers are by far the least expensive. (Sometimes it’s half the price of what you’ll pay in the US.) You can also use the code WELCOME10 to save 10% off. There are no exclusions. Taxes and duties are include in all prices.
