    VIP Access to Outnet’s Clearance Sale

    Twice a year, The Outnet hosts a clearance sale where merchandise is discounted an extra 50% off the lowest price cut. The markdown on many items is nearly 90%. As you would imagine, the merchandise goes very fast. For this reason, we are so excited that we can provide a VIP link ahead of the sale going public.

    You can use this VIP link to access The Outnet’s clearance sale now. To engage the extra markdown use the code FIRSTLOOK. The sale officially becomes public on July 11.

    We found is this Tome dress with ruffles that comes to only $150 from over $1200. A lace dress from Belstaff is $170 from $1100. Here is a tunic that’s perfect for the beach and it’s $105 from $700 or this gauzy mini-dress from Dodo Bar Or is $100 from $345. Here’s a JW Anderson one shoulder dress is just now just $200, Anya Hindmarch boots are about $250 from nearly $1200 and a small teal Prada bag is $230 from $950.

    Just remember, all sales are final. Can you really blame them? Prices like this totally justify a no backsies policy.

    Net-a-Porter’s Final Sale, Extra Discounts

    After the fireworks die down we excitedly await for Net-a-Porter’s explosive final markdown. This end-of-season event usually only lasts a few weeks and is delivered with lots of extra discounts.

    This season’s big event started today. The extra discount is an extra 20% off but doesn’t apply to all items. When this sale strikes, merchandise tends to go very quickly. The shoes and bags are always the first to fly off the site.

    We have our eye on this Off-White tote that’s comes to just $400 from over $1200. This Alexander McQueen bag is about the same price and deeply discount Alaia is never a bad idea. During the Summer, we are all about cheap thrills and this straw garden bag from Eugenia Kim is only $230.

    In the shoe department, there are lots of Gianvitto Rossi shoes discounted 50% and there’s another 20% on top. These mules are $280 from nearly $700. These Vetements Manolos are 80% and even justafiable at $345.

    Everything gets a little more interesting when you start shopping for clothing. There is still a large assortment of clothing and the variety is quite large. Here is a white poplin dress that’s reduced to $300 from $1500. It’s universally understood that the dress was way overpriced to begin. This Prada dress falls in the same category of overpricing but could be justifiable with these new discounts.

    The NAP final sale usually lasts just a couple of weeks. Then the section completely disappears. TheOut is the next stop– as it becomes past season fashion.

    Holiday Shopping Cheat Sheet

    The biggest topic of conversation this week (and really, for the past two weeks) is when everyone is celebrating the ‘holiday weekend’. Some hate a mid-week Federal holiday but we love the idea of defining our own celebration. If it’s up to us, we’d celebrate July 4th all Summer long.

    As far as shopping is concerned, the discounts are almost as high as the temperatures. There is some disparity between our favorite local department stores– Bergdrofs, Saks, and Barneys. Below is a cheat sheet to get you through the Holiday week, weekend, month or season. Play it however you like!

    July 4th Sale Mania Roundup

    July 4th is famous for explosive sales. Some even go as far as calling it ‘Christmas in July.’ Considering the recent third markdowns at department stores– like Barneys, Bergdofs, and Saks— it’s more like New Year’s in July.

    Just remember, the holiday promotions don’t end with the fireworks. Extended sales have become as much of a tradition as the underlying sale. The bonus day, final hours and last chances are as commonplace as an afterparty.

    Below is a compilation of online promotions with additional discounts that are worth cha-cha-cha-ing:

    Asos Promotion: Discounts of 70% off plus an extra 10% off using the code EXTRA

    Last Days: Warehouse La Perla Blowout Sale

    That the mid-town warehouse sale, featuring La Perla was very, very good but it’s about to get extreme.  Like all great affairs, this one must come to an end but not without a grand gesture. Starting Friday morning, all merchandise will be reduced to $40 and under!

    Earlier this week, we went to check out the La Perla merchandise ourselves and cannot emphasize enough what a good sale this is. We spotted gorgeous silk patterned sarongs that are now going to be $20, there are caftans marked $200 that are just $30, there are $20 bikinis (top and bottom), sequined or mesh coverups are $30 (the retail prices are several hundred dollars), pajama sets and, of course, bras are $30 each or four for $100. Panties that were marked as high as $220 at retail area all just $18 a pair. There is also a super assortment of La Perla Studio merchandise that’s reduced to 10 pairs for just $100 or $12 each.

    You can see pictures of all the La Perla items we loved from the sale. Take note, this is a grab and go blowout sale. The fitting rooms will not be available and all sales are final. On the bright side, the sales help are super nice and helpful. The sale is also very well organized and orderly, which can be difficult with underpinnings.

    Third Markdown: Bergdorf Goodman 75% Off

    You should head straight to Bergdorf Goodman if you’re looking to shop truly amazing markdowns. Right now, designer clothing is discounted 75% off and most shoes and bags are reduced by 50%.

    We decided to get ahead of the weekend rush and scope out what’s treasures are still available. There aren’t many handbags left over. We spotted a few Christian Louboutin castaways and a few Valentino styles that were still overpriced.

    Moving on to the shoe department, there are still lots of great styles from which to choose. The discount is currently 50% off most shoes and boots. In stores, there are a scattering of Chanel and Louboutin shoes still left. The discount isn’t as high on these brands. More reduced finds include Valentino T-Strap Rockstuds that are about $472 from $950, Isabel Marant thong pool slides are $212 from $425, and Paul Andrew sandals are $400 from $800.

    Not surprisingly, the very best discounts can be found on the third floor. Designer clothing is now discounted up to 75%. A dramatic Thierry Mugler top is discounted to $577 from $1650, an Off-White cropped hoodie is $327 from $800. (Doesn’t that still seem insane? It’s a sweatshirt!) A denim skirt with a paisley print from Jonathan Simkhai is $93 from $375. An off-the-shoulder top from Joie is $62 from $250, an Erdem floral print dress is $1300 from $5200 and No. 21 silk dress is $700 from $1400.

    This is the last markdown of the season. In mid-July, there will be an extra 20% off promotion but, at that point, it takes a lot of digging to find the treasures.

    Neiman Marcus Third Markdown 70% Off

    Neiman Marcus just reduced its Summer merchandise to the third markdown. Today, we happened to be in the Jersey Garden’s Mall Neiman Marcus as employees started reducing prices. We were a bit excited (and over-spendy) as the price cuts were taken.

    You can see pictures here of what we saw at the store. Inside we found lots of Chanel, still only reduced 30% off. If you’re looking for higher discounts, we found several styles of Valentino shoes. These high heel white Rock Studs were reduced to $357 from nearly $900. Valentino pool slides are just $217 from $725. Hard to resist, right?

    Among the bags, we found a few Balenciaga styles. This market bag is $875 from $1750 and this double B bag is $875 from $1800 too. Among the clothing is this iconic Balmain pencil skirt that’s reduced to $1121 from $1495 and a No 21 lace top is $216 from $865.

    The sale is already live online but hasn’t been announced– yet. We suggest you start browsing before the official marketing begins. This will be the final markdown of the season but there will be additional promotions in mid-July.  Bergdorf Goodman’s third markdown started Wednesday and the discount is up to 75% off. Details to come…

    Nordstrom Designer Sale 70% Off

    If you haven’t browsed Nordstrom’s designer sale section, you should. Right now, you can find some really great classic and avant-garde European designer merchandise discounted 70% off.

    Inside we found JW Anderson logo espadrille-like shoes for $232 from $775, a sweatshirt from Dilara Findikoglu’s first standalone catwalk collection is reduced to $185 from $620, and Adam Lippes wide-leg pants are $386 from nearly $1300. There is also a whole lot of Calvin Klein Collection and Valentino shoes and clothing reduced to 70% off. There’s always this Balmain sequin dress or Off-White sweatpants. There are just too many options!

    Nordstrom usually doesn’t add another markdown in July. Some more merchandise might be further reduced but you can’t count on more than 70% off. The next big sale at Nordies is the ‘Anniversary event‘ and that’s essentially pre-fall collections.
