As Mother’s Day comes to a close, it’s nice to look back and appreciate all the sweet notes, kisses and love that goes into making an ordinary Sunday so special. It’s also the right time to take a deep breath and, finally, relax.
In many ways, Mother’s Day is much more work than an ordinary Sunday. There’s the extra early wake-up call from excited children, navigating a messy breakfast in bed, fawning over questionable gifts and entertaining your own mothers and grandmothers. Mother’s Day is as much about making the rest of the family happy as it is honoring motherhood.
Now is the perfect time to celebrate your own motherhood and all the work and love you selflessly provide. It’s also not a bad time to start browsing Moda Operandi, which just started a VIP sale where a large selection of merchandise is discounted 40% off. Use the code FRIENDS40 at checkout.
The sale only runs through Monday, which is just enough time to do some recovery shopping. We aren’t suggesting you go nuts but you certainly need a pat on the back.
Anya Hindmarch is looking to you, to assist in a major Feng Shui space clearing session in the form of a friends and family sale. Starting Monday, Global Fashions will host a sample sale for the London-based brand. Close friends and family (that’s you!) are invited to shop past season merchandise at 75% off retail.
Among the selection are bags, accessories, clothing, and shoes. We got a little sneak peak and spotted a nearly irresistible assortment of totes, handbags, clutches and small accessories. A zippy wallet comes to about $100 from $395, a handbag with a bandaid is $500 from $2000, an oversized tote is $625 from $2500 and a pouch with an oversized tassel is $250 from nearly $1000. You can click over this way to see pictures of some of the items that will be available at the Anya Hindmarch sample sale.
To make the sale even more friendly to friends and family, you can mention Madison Avenue Spy and save an extra 5% off your total purchase. That practically negates the cost of NYC sales tax!
The selection isn’t huge and there won’t be any restocking. We suggest you attend the sale early if there is a specific item you’re eyeing. If you’re lucky, you might also find some warehouse goodies from other luxury brands.

When most sales exclude almost every important designer it’s extra refreshing to see a sale dedicated to discounted merchandise from the designers we love most. Right now, The Outnet is hosting a sale where an assortment of items from several popular designers is discounted an extra 20% off from their already reduced prices.
This sale includes lots of pieces from Saint Laurent, Fendi, and McQueen. For instance, this Mugler jacket comes to $800 from $2500, this Miu Miu dress is under $800 from $1900 and this Maiyet jumpsuit is about $400 from almost $1300.
What’s even nicer about this sale is that there are more than 1000 items listed. If you have an hour, you can truly get lost browsing through all the interesting merchandise. If you’re short on time, personalize your sort options. When you find something you want you must be sure of your purchase because all sales are final.
We hear that the Outnet will be adding a large amount of Zimmerman items will be added before the weekend. Seems like an opportune time to get ready for Summer.
This morning, the Jimmy Choo sample sale kicked off for press and VIPs. By 10am the cue for general RSVP admission reached Sixth Avenue, nearly a full city avenue. An hour later, when we left the sale, the line wrapped around Sixth Avenue and spread to 19th Street. You can bet those ladies will be waiting several hours before they see any Choos. (While waiting in line, head over to can see Instagram Stories to see the extent of the wait.)
So, what will you find? Lots of glitter style shoes!! Most are priced at $250 but much of the selection is what we could consider the most desirable Jimmy Choo styles. The best buys are the basic metallic Abel shoes that come in silver, gold, holographic and more. We find that a metallic Choo is a great investment because they are so wearable. Retail prices are normally about $700 from the Abel but they often come on TheRealReal for between $150 and $250. Many times they are even brand new.
The sale runs through Friday. Even though the weather is beautiful, we would avoid waiting in line for hours with the early rush. Prices are usually reduced on the last day. That’s when the fun begins!
It’s only the first Monday in May, otherwise known as MetGala Day, but Barneys isn’t going to let BagGirlRiri, Anna, Donatella or the Pope steal the fashion show. Today, Barneys started a mini seasonal online presale. The discount is 40% off select merchandise.
Presales are akin to the “quiet period” before a company goes public. You can’t actually buy the merchandise in the store but you can have your broker, oh sorry — sales person, hold your preferred items until the sale officially begins.
Net-A-Porter is hosting a private sale where you can save 25% off 1000s of items. To view the sale merchandise you must first log into your Net-A-Poter account. Afterward, you will see a Private Sale section appear.
This sale comes several weeks before most major designer merchandise will go on markdown. The best part is that even the top European designers are included in this promotion. We suggest you first browse the bags because they are always the items that go fastest during the first markdown. Over this way is the Loewe car-wash fringe bag that comes to about $1400 from $1890, this Off-White “Sculpture” tote is about $650 from $875, a pretty pink Bottega Veneta woven bag is $1725 from $2300 and a Karl 24 from Boyy is $830 from $1110. There is also a very large assortment of Saint Laurent and Fendi options included in the private sale.
Last year, Net-A-Poter didn’t start their sale rollout until May 23rd, and it didn’t include many designer brands. We would suggest digging in now if there is something you like. Popular style bags tend to go very quickly during the first markdown.
Madeline Weinrib has become famous for her iconic carpets and textiles, made in collaboration with artisans around the world. After 20-years in the business, Weinrib just announced that she will be closing her New York and San Fransicso showrooms in June, which will mark the end of an era.
The designer explains that the “decision has weighed heavily on me, but I have realized that I need to return to my creative roots and passion, which has been difficult for me to focus on while managing my business and has led to burnout. I have taken a new studio where I hope to focus on creative projects and collaborations that are close to my heart.”
As Madeline Weinrib shifts her creative focus, she will be clearing her showrooms and warehouses. Starting May 8, shoppers will be able to purchase her signature designs— carpets, fabrics, pillows, tabletop accessories fashion, furniture, and fixtures for between 50% to 80% off retail prices.
