Can you hear the ding-a-ring-ling-ing and the ring-a-ding-ling-ing? The holiday season is upon us and the sales are ringling jingling.

If you haven’t checked out the markdowns at Harrods, you definitely should. There is no specific sale section but if you scroll through this link you can find some amazing markdowns. 

You’ll find Off-White sneakers reduced to $136 from $400 US and these women’s Golden Goose sneakers are $338 from $530 US. There is also a great assortment of Tom Ford shoes and Valentino. These lizard-embossed shoes with a chain are $614 from $1300 US and these Valentino Rockstud sandals are $338 from $775 US. There is also a fantastic assortment of beauty discounts too.

The Louis Vuitton sales at 24S have become pretty standard but the site has quietly added some great discounts on Fendi and Celine too. This Celine Cabas tote comes to $1350 from $2100 once you apply the code ULTIMATESFIRST10. A small Fendi Kan U is $1800 from $2100 US. Remember there is no tax or shipping fee either, which increases the savings.

Earlier this week,  Selfridges started an early Christmas sale where you can save up to 20% off nearly everything at the store. Beauty items are discounted by 10%. Use the code SELFCCE to engage the savings at checkout.  Manolo Blahnik is included and these 105 Hengisi heels come to only $719 from $995 in the US. (That’s nearly 30% off.)

Neiman Marcus started its first markdown on contemporary labels. The highlighted brands include Cinq a Sept, Frame, and L’Agance among others. The site has lots of sale holders from last winter that shouldn’t be missed. A Moncler puffer is $700 from over $2000 and Valentino high boots are $665 from $1650.

Looking forward to this week, you should keep an eye on Ssense. The site is about to do a massive markdown.  Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman will also begin their big designer sales. Saks Fifth Avenue isn’t starting designer markdowns just yet but there will be another big flash sale on merchandise that’s already reduced. We suggest you begin adding to cart because you know how it gets when these sales break.

Stay tuned. Until next time… same time, same place?

Everyone is ready to celebrate an early Christmas, because why not?! Let’s add some early Christmas is early sales and really get the holiday spirit going. Right now, the UK store, Selfridges is hosting a promotion where you can save up to 20% off nearly everything at the store. Beauty items are discounted by 10%. Use the code SELFCCE to engage the savings at checkout. 

Not all designer merchandise is included in the promotion. You should direct your attention towards Loewe where these contrasting brown boots are $596 from $745. Golden Goose where Superstar seankers are $330 from $530 in the US. Manolo Blahnik is included and these 105 Hengisi heels come to only $719 from $995 in the US. (That’s nearly 30% off.)

Shoppers should take note that Selfridges does charge duties. We suggest that you keep your purchase under $800 to avoid the extra tax. You can split up purchases into multiple orders. 

Happy. Jolly. Merry. 

It’s eleven-eleven and if your Singles Day wish was for a good sale then this is your day. Right now, the discount site HauteFind is hosting a Singles Day flash sale where lots of designer merchandise, including Valentino, is reduced up to 80% off.

Over this way, you will find an abundance of Valentino sneakers for a small fraction of their retail price. These men’s “Soul AM”  sneakers are $230 from $700 and this iconic PU7 VLTN style is $280 from $845.  For women, there is this Valentino tracksuit jacket that’s  $555 from nearly $2000 and this flower collection handbag for $1400 from $4245. 

The flash sale will only run through Singles Day and ends at Midnight but there are still great finds outside of the ‘holiday’ event. Here is a Valentino denim Rockstud bag for $1773 from $3545 and a classic flap bag with a chain for $1123 from $2245. There is also lots of great fashion. This cashmere ivory Valentino coat is among our favorites for $1700 from nearly $5700 and here is a navy belted coat for $1350 from $4500.

Most items are only available in one or two sizes. It pays to get shopping early before your Singles Day dreams disappear faster than a Turkey in November.

For the fast few months, we have been locally tracking lots of reward shopping incentives– sale-on-sale discounts, and friends and family promotions. Sale season is about to get real serious as stores begin their markdowns on contemporary designer merchandise. Neiman Marcus started its first markdown on contemporary labels. 

Just in time to celebrate its 90th anniversary,  Madison Avenue’s famed, Carlyle Hotel opened its doors to guests this week. Bemelmans Bar, Café Carlyle, The Gallery, and The Carlyle Restaurant are set to reopen in phases. 

New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike are enchanted by the romanticism of the Rosewood-owned Carlyle. It’s the tallest structure on Madison Avenue and understandably has some of the best views that extend past Central Park, through the Hudson River, and over to New Jersey. The famous Empire Suite, which is located on the 29th floor, has absolutely breathtaking views from the master bedroom and has been featured in numerous films.

As we head into a fun-filled Saturday night you can click here to read more about the Carlyle Hotel and insider information from a host of other Madison Avenue hotel properties here.

One wouldn’t dream about walking into Bemelmans Bar underdressed and the flurry of Singles Day sales is a fine way to plan ahead. Most recently Nugnes 1920, a boutique located in Italy, started a promotion where most all merchandise is reduced 25% off with the code DEALMOON25SD.  A Gucci belt $291 from $470, a Fendi camera bag $874 from $1290 US, the Saint Laurent Loulou bag is $1151 from $1490 US, and a is Moncler Puffer $752 from $1200 US.

Another great Singles Day promotion can be found at Harvey Nichols where the code SINGLESTYLEUS will save you 22% off purchases over $800 (excluding beauty) or 11% off everything $799 or under. We highly suggest you check out the Golden Goose options that come to nearly 50% off US prices once you apply the discount. This promotion is a also prime opportunity to also stock up on some gift items. This Off-White Jitney bag is $805 from $1225 normally and Roger Vivier pumps are $472 from $695. You can click here to see some more of my favorite deals from Harvey Nichols.

In other shopping news, Bergdorf Goodman is hosting a sale where a plethora of designer sale merchandise is discounted an additional 20% off, which brings the total saving to nearly 80% on some items. The Manolo Blahnik selection is plentiful. Here are pink suede pumps for $212 from $666 and multi-color lizard heels are $300 from $924. The sale ends at midnight Saturday, so you might want to do one last scroll through my suggestions of the best finds. 

Looking forward, the holiday season has unofficially started. (The Park Avenue trees are even up.) In the US, there will be a smattering of smaller markdowns and the big designer sales will start in mid-November. 

That’s it for now folks. Until next time… same time, same place?

The sale section and promotions never seem to go away. Bergdorf Goodman is now offering a discount of an additional 20% off their sale merchandise. The sale started Thursday morning and markdowns top 80% off. 

Singles Day is the Chinese version of an anti-Valentines day. Really, what’s there not to love? Celebrating social freedom with shopping.

We.Are.In!

The shopping-focused day first started in 1993, by a group of Chinese college students, to celebrate the state of being single. The date November 11 (or 11/11) was chosen because of the ones– obviously. Elevens, according to numerology, is a “master number” which signifies intuition, insight, and enlightenment.

We’ve started to think of Singles Day as ‘Treat Yourself Day.’ After all, we’ve never turned down an occasion to shop and buy something nice. Retailers are jumping in on the trend too. Last year, Singles Day was referred to as the new “Black Friday.” 

There is really a great assortment of sales. So in light of this day of spiritual consumership, we’ve highlighted some great places to shop and a few things we wouldn’t mind “single-ing.”
