A lot of our local stores are completing sale season but there is always a new season and a place to find what you want for less.

Popular culture has decided that Valentine’s Day bashing is more fun than celebrating. We couldn’t agree less. Who cares if it’s an imagined holiday to promote retail and antiquated relationship philosophies? Shopping and love really can’t be an enemy. Valentine’s Day doesn’t require a huge grand gesture but rather something sweet and thoughtful. On the flip side, we don’t know anyone who would turn down diamonds. Below are some “thoughtful and sweet” gift ideas we love and we think he and she will too. Feel free to use the code HELEN for 15% off everything from Madaluxe. (That’s our gift to you.)

It’s nearly February and it’s been a very long sale season. Ssense is famous for keeping its best sale items restricted under private sale but at this stage of the season, most of those items have either sold out or been offered to the public. The Ssense sale section is a mixed bag ranging from awful to that’s not too bad. We scrolled the sale section and compiled some sale items that you might not even know you needed.

We are officially at the tail end of the Winter shopping season. If you’ve been following along, you have noticed all of the remarkably steep discounts Saks Fifth Avenue has offered. One with a watchful eye might have snagged discounts ranging from 70% to 80% off. The merchandise isn’t limited to fashion rejects. We did some digging through the sale section and unturned some gams. You’ll be surprised by what you can find with a little bit of determination.
