    Moda Operandi Extra Discounts

    Moda Operandi started its seasonal markdown without much fanfare. To amp up the excitement, the site is now offering an extra 15% off sale prices with the code 15OFFSALE.

    This promotion appears to be very good at offering us exactly the merchandise we need now. Hitting the swim section might not be a bad idea considering that most of our stores are still closed to trying-on.  This Balmain one-piece comes to $221 from $520 and a Versace logo bathing suit is about $125 from $275.

    We love the Johanna Oritz swim collection this season. It’s both feminine and stylish. We also really like the Onia selection that’s already reduced 50% before the additional promotional discount.

    Some other sale highlights include these Stuart Weitzman shoes that come to about $190 from $425.  (Not so much more than the company’s online sample sale.) Off-White sandals are about $300 from $690.

    Those looking for meaningful fashion pieces should check out this Paco Rabanne sequin chainmail dress that’s reduced to $1500 from $3350. Here is a Safiyaa dress that’s backyard wedding-ready at $850 from $1800 an embroidered Zimmerman dress is $790 from $1750, and this Alex Perry sleeveless dress is $475 from $1100.

    Don’t miss the accessories. An oversized Sensi hat is $160 from $300, a Lele Sadoughi embellished headband is under $80- from $170 and Stella McCartney shades are $190 from $365.

    There isn’t an end date for this Moda promotion. There should be another round of markdowns but it’s best to plot your game plan beforehand.

    Father’s Day Gift Ideas

    I know we really laid it on thick for Mother’s Day. It was a hard Spring. There was COVID, Zoom school, the constant cooking, and yes, staying at home. All the while it’s been the Dad’s who kept everyone in line.

It’s the time of year when we get to recognize his contributions. We searched the cyber universe for the best Father’s day gifts. Below are a few of our favorites gifts to celebrate on June 21. Show him how it’s done!

    It’s the perfect time to spring your feet into something new. Right now, you can find a great assortment of shoes discounted 40% to 60% off. The selections include a terrific assortment of Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin shoes.

    Saks Fifth Avenue just reduced a large assortment of Manolo Blahnik to 55% off.  Patterned flat Hangisi shoes are $460 from $1025 and embellished mules are $537 from $1200. More printed slingbacks are $335 from $745 and floral print mules are $303 from $675.

    Saks Fifth Avenue removed all their Christian Louboutin shoes from the sale section but Nordstrom has a few styles priced at 40% off. Silver slingbacks are $525 from $875 and platforms are $477 from  $800.

    Some more web searching presented these Louboutin loafers for $457 from $653, black heels for $650 from $990, and suede So Kates for $500 from $700.

    Both stores have lots of other great brands of shoes available at similar discounts but these Louboutins and Manolos are not discounted as often as other brands.

    Mr. Porter Sale Begins Up to 50% Off

    If you weren’t 100% convinced that 2020 was wacky and upside-down, we have further evidence. Today, Mr. Porter started its seasonal markdown with discounts up to 50% off.  The sister site, Net-A-Porter won’t begin its public sale for about another week.

    Usually, men’s sales start several weeks after women’s but that’s not the 2020 situation. Some of the discount highlights for men include the assortment of Common Project sneakers. This retro style is $232 from $465 and Tournament leather sneakers are $309 from $515.

    Among the clothing, we found an Amiri tee for $180 from $300 and a Motley Crue collab sweatshirt is $474 from $790. Street style enthusiasts should check out the selection from Ev Bravado that’s now mostly all half off.  Embroidered jeans are $390 from $780 and a denim jacket is $275 from $550.

    There are some great finds among the Tom Ford assortment. This belt is $400 from $800 and a wallet is $220 from $440. (Remember: Father’s Day!) Among the Off-White selection, there are sneakers for $250 from $500 and a hoodie with arrows is $250 from $450.

    There will be more markdowns later in the season. The timing is the remaining question.

    NOW LIVE: Saint Laurent Private Sale

    The Saint Laurent private sale is LIVE!  The discount is 30% to 50% off on a very large variety of bags, shoes, clothing, and accessories. You can use the code YSLPRIVATESALESS20 to engage the discount after logging into your account and going to “view shopping bag.” The men’s selection can be found here.

    Some of the sale highlights include this Lou mini bag that is $805 from $1150, a small Jamie that’s $1482 from $2470 and the Vicky camera bag is $1295 from $1850. Among the shoes, we suggest you snag a pair of Tribute mules that are $452 from $645 or Opyum sandal heels for $767 from nearly $1100.

    Saint Laurent doesn’t usually do a second markdown. If you’re looking for steeper savings we suggest you direct your attention towards multi-brand department stores and boutiques.

    Weekend Shopping: Impulses & Obsessions

    Update: Blue & Cream is hosting a sale where all Golden Goose sneakers are 40% off. Use the code GG40 to engage the discount.

    I remember having a teacher who would never say it’s been “a bad day” or “a hard day” because she believed that every day was a blessing. A “challenging day” would be referred to as simply “A Day.” I think it’s fair to say we’ve had “A Week.”

    We are living through what is likely to become the most remarkable moments of our lives. We are collectively scared and confused. Regardless of politics, it’s important to be kind, generous, and compassionate. When we can check all those boxes, progress begins.

    Today, Target launched a trio of designer collaborations: LoveShackFancy, Cushnie, and Lisa Marie Fernandez. Here is a white linen blend dress from Lisa Marie that’s $60, and a cotton floral print dress from LoveShack for $50. I always suggest looking closely at fabric content when shopping for budget-priced designer collaborations. Items made with natural fibers may cost a bit more but they will wear better over time.

    If you’re looking for some bonafide designer finds, check out Coltori boutique where you can save 20% off with the code DEALMOON20. The savings become extra-large on top of the euro-dollar savings. The Saint Laurent LE 61 is $662 from $995 US and a YSL canvas tote is $840 from $1600 US. There is also a Bottega Jodie bag that’s $1900 from $2800 US. I also spotted these Bottega Lido heels on Cettire for $975 from $1250 US, a mini-pouch is $1020 from $1390 US and a mini Jodie is $1310 from $1720.

    My favorite find of the week was Manolo Blahnik shoes that were discounted to 60% off this week at Nordstrom. There are still plenty of good styles available. Suede BB heels are $266 from $665 and floral print heels are $280 from $700.  You can read the full post here. The Louboutin shoes mentioned in the post were pulled from the Saks sale but will be available again on June 10.

    The Shopbop extra 25% off promotion ends Saturday night. Use the code JUNE25 at checkout to engage the savings. A mini dress from SEA is $255 from $365 and Rosie Assoulin ankle bracelets are  $24 from $60. You can see more of my favorites in the Shopbop post.

    The MyTheresa sale started this week with discounts of up to 50% off. A Balmain tank is $276 and an Isabel Marant sweatshirt is $231 from $330. Here is the post from earlier this week. Balenciaga items didn’t convert over to the public sale.

    The Stuart Weitzman sample sale is still going strong and all shoes and boots are under $200. Suede stretch boots are $170 from $575 and nude ankle-strap sandals are $150 from $400. Click over to the blog post for more details and finds.

    The Net-A-Porter sale started for select VIP shoppers. It will be a little over a week until the sale goes public for all. This week we should start seeing some second markdowns begin. We wouldn’t be surprised if we saw some good Gucci items hit the sale racks.

    Until next week… same time, same place?

    MyTheresa Private Sale

    I am often asked about MyTheresa and its roll with Neiman Marcus. The online luxury site was started in  Munich, Germany in 2006. The site was acquired by Neiman Marcus in 2014. Late last year, Neiman Marcus was accused by its creditors of attempting to secretly transfer the lucrative  MyTheresa asset into the hands of its private equity group.

    The transfer to new ownership blocked creditors from making claims on the asset during bankruptcy. Just this week, Neiman Marcus was accused of inaccurately disclosing assets. You can read the full story here.

    MyTheresa is always a little slower on markdowns than many other luxury retailers but the discounts are coming. This week, MyTheresa started a private sale and MadSpy readers can access it now with this link.

    The markdown is 30% off on most items and the assortment includes a variety of designers including,  Balenciaga, Balmain, and Versace. Some standout items include Balenciaga heels are $630 from $900, a Balmain cropped tee is $200 from $300 and a Versace dress is about $1300 from $1925.

    This sale opens to the public on Friday. MyTheresa will likely follow this up with a promotion and then another markdown. It’s hard to grab them but the deals on MyTheresa can get very good. You can be sure we will be sleeping with one eye open.

    Shopbop: Extra 25% Off Sale

    It’s been more than a moment since there has been a good Shopbop sale but the time has come. Right now you can save an extra 25% off sale merchandise with code JUNE25. The extra discount brings the ultimate markdown to about 85% off on a few of the most reduced items.

    This is a great time to grab a new something for your Summer wardrobe–  shorts, sandals, or sunnies. We suggest starting your browsing through the small 70% off section. It’s all final sale but the prices are right to take the risk. We spotted Lee Mathews paper bag-tie shorts that come to $75 from $350 and Kate Spade star earrings are $33 from $150.

    Outside the most reduced items, we spotted a minidress from Sea for $190 from $365, Off-White sneakers for $272 from $605, Versace palm print leggings for $350 from $625, and a Zimmerman romper is $240 from $530.

    The sale is one of the really good Shopbop sales but it will only a few days. The promotion ends Saturday at midnight (PT). This is the best deal you can expect, outside of Shopbop‘s friends and family sale. If you ask us, it seems like a good opportunity to celebrate the warmer weather months.
