I can never recall a Summer that’s so difficult to get dressed. Is it hot? Is it raining? Is it chilly? Or just sweaty? I can’t figure it out but maybe with the right scroll, you can find something that’s juuuuuuust right. Moda Operandi just started a limited-time promotion where sale merchandise is an additional 15% off. Use the code 15XSALE at checkout. The promotion is valid until July 17.
Nordstrom has started a round of third markdowns. Not all merchandise has taken a triple strike but it’s worth reviewing what’s hit 70% off. Size options are slim but you only need to find one lucky size to be a winner. Below are some of the newest sale options.
It’s hard to believe it we are already in mid-July. Sale season started late and we are beginning to question purchases of sandals and beach bags as August quickly approaches. Wear now and save for vacation is always a good late-season game plan as prices get super attractive.
While we’ve been scrolling through reduced merchandise, new Fall fashion is starting to be received by stores. Many European shops allow for slight currency discounts, which makes early season shopping more attractive than ever. You also might suddenly start finding last season’s Winter sale merchandise attractive again. Below is a list of some of our favorite European stores with new season arrivals and all of the best Summer sale merchandise.
The Double F (Italy)

Discount Code: WELCOME10 for 10% off

Taxes and Duties: Not included in prices but there aren’t any extra fees on items under $800
Net-A-Porter is hosting a promotion where select sale merchandise is an additional 10% off. Use the code TAKE10 to engage the additional savings at checkout. Some of our favorite sale links are listed below.
Fashion has become very homogenized. Even at the highest price points, there are elements that are as common as a Starbucks coffee. There are items from Hermes, Chanel, Bottega, and Valentino that are standard in almost every curated fashion closet. Those looking to step out from the standard everyday fashion wardrobe can feel safe taking a risk when there is a good discount.
July 4th is famous for explosive sales. Some even go as far as calling it ‘Christmas in July.’ It’s really an excellent time to shop, especially considering how much the sale calendar has shifted. In most years we would be evaluating third markdowns. We are just hitting second markdowns, which means there is still lots of good merchandise available. This Independence Day, however, is ripe with fresh fashion desires.
Most of the sales launch throughout the week and the upcoming rainy weather is a great excuse to begin scrolling. Below are some great current and upcoming sales. You can begin the add-to-cart exercise now. We will update the post throughout the holiday weekend.
Happy July 4th!
Outlet shopping is always a roll of the dice. You can either win big or leave empty-handed (or wallet-ed). After years of canvasing Woodbury Common, I have devised a few healthy outlet shopping rules:
1. Go in with a shopping allowance. It’s never a good idea to spend money you don’t have but the regret of overspending is usually not worth even the best purchase. If you spend less than your “allowance” you can feel good and apply that extra money to something else you’ve been craving.
2. Just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean you need to own it. Many times there is a reason why an item is reduced so significantly. I definitely never needed three sets of Prada ankle gauntlets even at $25 each. I suppose they are cool but I’ve had them in the original box for about 17-years and still never used them.
3. Beware of made-for-outlet merchandise. Even the brands like Bottega Veneta and Pradaproduce merchandise specifically for the outlet. At Prada, you can distinguish the outlet items because they will be marked “made in China”. At Bottega, the giveaway is multiple colorways of the same bag or shoe. Both aren’t necessarily bad but you should be aware of what you’re buying.
4. Be aware of retail pricing and markdown ranges. Many stores offer discounts that aren’t as steep as what a savvy shopper can find at stores during the sale season. As a matter of fact, lots of current merchandise can be found for less right now at your local department store. Past season merchandise was often reduced much more dramatically before it went to the outlet.
5. Always ask if there is an upcoming promotion and take the business card of your sales associate. Outlets tend to get overcrowded during holiday weekends and promotional times and it’s always good to have a contact name to call if you’re looking for something specific in the future. Also, you never know when you’ll have non-buyers regret and want to have an item shipped to you.
Now that we have some shopping guidelines, Thursday starts the July 4th holiday weekend and there are lots of extra discounts. Below are specifics at a variety of stores with contact emails. You can click here to see pictures from inside some stores.
