Usually, a season is defined by a trend or specific item. In recent years, chunky Balenciaga sneakers, fur-lined Gucci slides, bright Bottega pouches, and Off-White arrow sweatshirts have all provided a moment of need.
Even as the Spring tulips begin to wilt and cherry blossoms blow from their branches, it’s hard to identify even a single item worthy of mass attention. Some identify the pandemic for the lack of trends this season others point towards a lack of cohesiveness among the fashion community.
Regardless of the reason, a season without trends is disenchanting to the fashion consumer. After all, there can’t be any thrill in the chase if there is no prey. For now, we may find contentment in making our own trends.

This week we focused on the silk scarf as a must-have item for Summer. Is it a trand or just a classic? Is there an item that you can’t live without this season? Let us know in the comment section below.
Stay tuned. Until next time… same time, same place?
Savannah’s is hosting a weekend sale where lots of designer shoes are discounted 40% off. No code is needed. There are also no taxes or duties, which adds to the savings.

Every well-stocked closet needs a silk scarf (or two, or many). It’s never been more true than this season where the scarf is taking the stage as the most versatile accessory. The silk square can be worn around the neck, in your hair, or even styled as a top. Larger sizes can be used on the beach or pool as a pareo and in a pinch, it can be used as a face mask.
As Mother’s Day approaches thought it was the perfect time to spotlight this classic accessory as the must-have item of the season. This simple square offers a lot of bang for the buck and with a little bit of imagination can be used in a variety of ways.
Hermes silk scarves are the golden standard but we also love a great Pucci or Missoni print. A Versace motif is always perfect, the Gucci florals are works of art and a Dior oblique is as Haute as they come this season.
If you’re thinking of offering a scarf as a gift, you can pair it with the book How to Tie a Scarf: 33 Styles. We also love the old Hermes scarf catalogs as a gift accompaniment. Alternatively, you can click to the Hermes website where there are lots of tutorials and ideas.
There really are no right or wrong answers when it comes to tying your silk scarf. The only faux pas is leaving them unworn in the boxes. (Guilty!)
Denim seems like the logical option as the weather transitions into the warmer season. Jeans and a tee. Jeans and a leather jacket. A dress with a jean jacket. One step above sweats but restrained dress up.
This is the perfect time to grab some wear-now dungarees. Frame is hosting an online sample sale where lots of great items are reduced up to 80% off. You can use this link to enter the sample sale section. The selection includes shorts, tops, bags, shoes, and of course, the American gold wardrobe standard of jeans.
This week I had an impulse to buy a gown. I don’t have any place to wear it but I have the strongest desire not only to dress up but to fully gala. With no exaggeration, I spent at least 10 hours scrolling through dresses
The exercise was quite useful. I confirmed that most formal gowns are horrendously ugly. I also found myself gravitating to the same designers that I have always loved. As a matter of fact, any dress I’ve ever wanted I already own or considered buy and would be happy if I did. If you hit the jump I posted pictures of dresses that haunt my dress-up dreams. Some of my current favorites are Toni Maticevski, Brandon Maxwell, Alexandre Vauthier, Mohammed Ashi (Ashi Studio), and Delpozo. Of course, there’s lots of vintage inspiration too.
Now, I just need to figure out is where to wear this said gown. Will it be La Grenouille, Le Bernardin, Indochine or Mansion Diner?
Moving on to this week’s sales, I must admit to possibly overindulging. I leaped when I notice that the exact color of the exact Bottega bag I wanted was about 30% off what it costs locally. As a matter of fact, TheDoubleF has lots of new season designer items priced lower than in the US and you can save an additional 10% off with the code WELCOME10. This mini Jodie in aqua is a find at $1300 from $1800 US. You can click here to see all of our favorite finds.
Ssense started a promotion where you can save 15% off with the code SHOP15. The situation is such that there are so many exclusions that it’s almost difficult to find qualifying items. You can see all the exclusions and the best buys here. We are partial towards the new Chloe Kiss bag, which is included in the promotion. Is there a limit as to how many bags one person should buy in a week? I’m asking for a friend.
It’s also notable that sale season is just around the corner. I highly recommend you download Haute Pursuit to your desktop if you already haven’t. It’s a great way to assure that items aren’t discounted anywhere for less. There are no codes or extra searches. The feature scans the web automatically while you’re shopping. You can click here for more details.
Stay tuned. Until next time… same time, same place?
Now that we’ve had our fill on that we started digging into items that were more recently added to the site. We noticed a large assortment of Golden Goose sneakers discounted 25% off. There are some hot Balenciaga bags discounted 30%. If you need sandals, don’t miss the selection of Alexandre Birman styles that are reduced up to 70% off. Some styles are even in stores now.
The sunglass selection is spectacular. Nearly all Gucci sunglasses are reduced priced at $129 and $189. Bottega Veneta sunnies are $129 and they come with a great woven carrying pouch. That’s two accessories for barely the piece of one.
All of our favorite accessories are arranged above. Trying to narrow it down is the hard part.
This is always a fun time of year. Stores are quiet, the fashion is fresh, and sale season is right around the corner. Once markdowns begin, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the best destination to buy a specific item. It’s best to prepare now.
With a little twist of technology, we are making it a lot easier to find the right item for the best price. Haute Pursuit is a desktop browser extension that actually scans thousands of websites to find alternative sale options while you’re already shopping. You can click here to download the extension to your browser now. (Unfortunately, this feature cannot be used on mobile devices.)
We recently added dozens of new sites in our most recent update. That means that you’re more likely to find a great deal while you’re shopping. If you know exactly what you want, you can click the Haute Pursuit icon in your toolbar and enter a search term.
Haute Pursuit will scan your key term against 1000s of retailer’s websites to find you all the matches that are on sale. The extension can be used with Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.
Let’s say you’re shopping on Italist for a Fendi dress. You find a great black and white color combination and see it’s already reduced over $265. Not bad, right? Without even another click Haute Pursuit offers you all the other sale options for Fendi dresses. What do you know… The same dress is available for even less. SCORE! Total savings: $300.
Haute Pursuit is still in Beta testing and doesn’t automatically drop-down suggestions at every retailer but we are adding more retailers every week. Always remember, you can also tap the Haute Pursuit icon in the toolbar and enter a search term to find nearly any item for which you’re in “Haute Pursuit.“
Downloading the Haute Pursuit extension is very easy and will immediately engage. Just one note for Chrome users: After downloading, hit the puzzle piece next to your search bar and hit the pin icon. Feel free to contact us at hello@hautepursuit.co if you have any questions, feedback, or comments.
