It seems cliche that this year is very different, but there is no way around it. One thing that seems to be emerging as tradition is the late winter sales, which include great discounts on outerwear and ski gear. This is usually when Moncler has its big markdown but we haven’t seen anything… yet.
Moda Operandi just started its markdowns on ski gear. The discounts are up to 50% off and the best part is there are lots of options available that are sold out at other retailers. This Toni Sailer jacket is $550 from $1100, Erin Snow ski pants are $353 from $558 and a Perfect Moment puffer is $385 from $550.
Temperatures may be on the uptick but there are still some cold days ahead. There is also nothing wrong with saving a coat for next Fall, especially if it’s a Canada Goose Down coat. Use the code DEALMOON to save 20% off any style at Saks Fifth Avenue. Use the code FREESHIP for free shipping and to have a new perfect condition coat next year.
You may also want to focus your attention on MatchesFashion. Right now you can save up to 50% off a great assortment of items to keep you warm even as the snow begins to melt. There are lots of great options from Bogner, Perfect Moment, Goldbergh, Holden, and more.
Beyond ski merchandise, MatchesFashion added additional merchandise to its sale section. We spotted these YSL slides for $387 from $645 and new style Valentino $630 from $1050.
There will be a lot more winter sales kicking off this week. Keep your eye on this space for updates.
Harvey Nichols is hosting a private sale where a small selection of merchandise is distinguished 30% off. The deal gets even better and we have the inside scoop. Use the code HNMOON40 and the discount goes up to 40% off.
We couldn’t be any more ready for warmer temperatures and more time outside. After a year of essential hibernation, it’s time to add a little freshness to our wardrobes for the new season. Look no further than INTERMIX and their private collection to provide everything you need to shed those extra layers and step into Spring.
Update: You can save 10% off on all INTERMIX branded items by using the code PL10. The promotion is live until April 3.
Moving on to more Spring-like dressing options, we love this INTERMIX high-waisted tie sweatpants ($138) and sweatshirt ($148) set. It has the coziness of sweats with upscale styling, which is perfect for weather and lifestyle transitions.
Once the tulips are in full bloom it will be high time for romantic separates. Take this ruffled silk skirt ($198) and blouse ($228) and pair it with this wrap belt ($148). The combination is everything we need to dazzle for day or night.
Whether you’re working out or going out, staying in, or springing forward INTERMIX has everything you need to bring sophistication and fun with you this season. We can’t wait to get started.

You can use this link and save up to 25% on a great variety of designer merchandise. Take note, the sale can only be accessed through this link<–CLICK HERE FIRST.
This past year was undoubtedly historic. For the first time since WWII, the entire world shared a similar experience. In relation to fashion, there was a seismic shift. Even avid shoppers questioned and deliberated over every purchase regardless of the price tag.
We questioned how any new purchase would be used. When it would be used. Where it would be used. Even today, I must admit to having an abundance of unworn purchases. As we begin to think about how fashion will evolve post-Covid it’s important to remember how our clothes reflect our mood and creativity.
As we move from lockdown to freedom I can clearly see a world where people seek to celebrate and share. In terms of fashion through 2022, that may translate to a surge of consumption, decadence, and show-off culture. We have already started to see the beginnings of this trend as the art world and high-end jewelry and watch values have skyrocketed. Clearly, there is no ceiling on Chanel prices.
As society opens we should focus our buying power on items that enhance our lives. Items that have longevity and reflect our individuality. They should have meaning and give meaning to our daily existence. That doesn’t mean we need to pay full price.
We were subsequently told that going forward, J Brand will only be sold directly to consumers and at Theory = and Uniqlo stores. J Brand is currently owned by Fast Retailing, which operates Uniqlo, Comptoir des Cotonniers, GU, Princesse Tam-Tam, and Theory.
If you’re getting ready for a post-Covid Spring, you should head over to Nugnes 1920 where you can save 15% off new collection merchandise with the code WELCOME15. The site has a great selection of Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Prada and YSL for which you can apply the discount code. The savings don’t always seem huge but when some items are compared to US retail the difference can be a good first markdown. See our top picks here.
Ok kids. That’s all for now. Next week? Same time, same place?
A lot of our local stores are done with sale season but that the world is big. There is always an alluring reason to shop! Nugnes 1920 is a multi-brand store with several boutiques along the Eastern coast of Italy and they are offering 15% off new Spring and Summer merchandise with the code WELCOME15.
The savings doesn’t always seem huge but when some items are comparied to US retail the difference can be a good first markdown. Take note, that some new seasons shoe sizes are selling out fast. If there is a great classic, you might want to take this opporunity to snatch it up now.
It’s no doubt that the sweats revolution has taken a big bite from denim sales. J Brand is fighting back with a huge blowout sale. You can use this link and the code GETMORE to save 70% off when you purchase three items. That includes all sales items.
Denim trends diligently shift every season. That’s how your favorite pair from last season doesn’t look quite right after a few months. The shift is sometimes subtle but the esthetic can be huge. Skinny jeans, for instance, aren’t necessarily a complete fashion faux pas. You just have to choose the right ones. Avoid styles that look like they are painted on your body or a wash that’s too light. Opt for heavier-weight denim that leaves some room at the ankle.
At these prices, you can imagine that items are selling fast. We would suggest loading up and checking out fast. Once this sale goes viral all of the popular sizes will be gone fast.
Normally this would be a very exciting week of fashion shows and parties. The Covid version of New York Fashion week is limited to a series of short films and interviews, which are as eventful as, well, standing at Penn Station and waiting for the next train. Yes, it’s that excruciating.
As I stare into my closet of unworn clothing I can’t help but wonder if fashion can exist without being seen. Is an unboxing of new Chanel shoes on Instagram Reels the same as sauntering into Indochine and air-kissing remote acquaintances? It certainly doesn’t feel nearly as validating as catching the eye of assorted street photographers as you wait for your Uber on a feezing coroner of Tribeca.
This week we witnessed the influencer activation of the new Louis Vuitton Coussin ($3550). It is a logo-embossed leather bag with a heavy chain and thick guitar strap. Seems like a hybrid between the Bottega Veneta Cassette bag with a heavy chain and the LV Multi Pouchette. It’s sure to hit the scene like garlic hitting a frying pan of overheated oil–hot for a moment and quickly overdone.
Speaking of overdone, that’s one way we can categorize sale season. The options are slim and far between. At the Italian boutique, Coltrori you can save 15% off sitewide with the code DEALMOON15. A purple padded Bottege Cassette bag comes to $2210 from $2990 US and this Saint Laurent canvas tote is $888 from $1250 US.
