    ShopBop Discounts 25% Off Sale

    We have been waiting all month for Shopbop to host a great promotion. Finally, that time has come. For three days only you can save extra 25% off sale merchandise. Use the code JOY25 when checking out to engage the additional discount.

    Over here we found a Rodarte hooded sweatshirt that comes to just $100 from $345. Over here is a ruffled sweater from Philosophy di Lorenzo that is close to 75% off, or $220 from $800. Fendi sunglasses, perfect for your next vacay, are $130 from $500. This Veronica Beard sweater-shirt is $130-ish from $375.

    We are in love with these Mira Mikati jeans with ribbon cuffs that are about $100 from nearly $500. We would love to match that sweater with these Frame oversized cuff jeans that are $95 from $225. These high-waist leather pants from K Brand are a major must-have for winter and come to $580 from $1300.

    The promotion runs through Thursday. It’s all over at the strike of midnight. That’s midnight Pacific Time, which gives us East Coasters a few extra hours to shop for the perfect New Years ensemble.

    The Five Best Places to Shop After Christmas

    Black Friday is for the amateurs. Real shoppers sharpen elbows for the day after Christmas. It’s the time of year where you can still find a rather good selection of merchandise that’s highly discounted. Over the course of the week you’ll also find great opportunities to pounce on hard-to-find items that may have gotten returned.

    Below are some of our favorite post-Christmas shopping destinations. Share your favorites in the comment section below:

    1. Neiman Marcus
    Set your alarm clocks. Starting at 6am CST, Neiman Marcus will be offering customers an additional 50% off some already reduced merchandise. The promotion will only last until noon CST, so we suggest you work fast– or maybe start loading your cart now. We have our eyes on these Balenciaga logo short boots and these Gianvito Rossi heels.

    2. Saks Fifth Avenue
    Saks is enticing shoppers with discounts for a total savings of up to 70% off. We suggest you get there when the store opens because when the clock strikes noon the additional savings end. Online shoppers can begin shopping the extra discounts right now and through midnight Monday. A Chloe Faye bag is reduced to $682 from $1950, Valentino biker boots with a bow are $606 from $1445 and Alexander Wang studded slides are $250 from $600.

    3. Barneys New York
    Barneys still has better markdown opportunities than their competitors. Shortly, the store will begin to lose its competitive edge as other stores reduce accessories and match its 70% off. The biggest Barneys advantage is their fashion lusty inventory. A Calvin Klein tote bag is $789 from almost $2000, Aquazzura ankle tie shoes are $319 from nearly $800, Fabrizio Viti pumps are $290 from $735 and Frame jeans are just $69.

    4. Moda Operandi
    Luxury e-tailer, Mode Operandi, just slashed prices up to 75% off. Post Christmas, you will notice that a lot more merchandise reduced to lower values. A Rachel Comey blouse is $96 from $300, Jonathan Silkhai denim dress is $188 from $600 and a Delpozo so striped sweater is $476 from $680.

    5. Intermix
    Sometimes the best discounts are the ones closest to home. We love the variety at Intermix and the markdowns. Right now, you can save up to 75% off once you apply the promotional 40% discount. It takes a little mental math to figure out the numbers but it won’t take long for you to get the hang of it. (We find it easiest to divide by 50% and add 10% to get the final price.) These Frame jeans are $95 from $238, Jean-Michel Cazabat open-toe boots are $200 from $600 and a Missoni hat is $140 from $400.

    Neiman Marcus Discounts Hit 55% Off

    It’s the final weekend before Christmas and Neiman Marcus has been lagging behind the pack when it comes to designer discounts. The swanky store’s discounts are still not ahead of Barneys in some product areas but the selection is much better than anywhere else.

    Among the bags, we found a lot of options under the 50% discount. Over this way we found a Prada tote with velvet Trompe L’eoil detailing for $742 from $1650. A Love bag from Les Petits Joueures is $624 from $1110 and a Chloe Hudson bag is $1044 from $1990. There are also lots of Valentino and Balenciaga bags too.

    The shoe section has some great finds too. Over here, we found Balenciaga logo short boots and almost every size is still available. They are reduced to $425 from $945. Fendi slides with faces are $315 from $700, Jimmy Choo Moto boots are $527 from $1050 and Saint Laurent Niki ankle boots are $450 from $900.

    Among the clothing, this metallic striped blouse from Haney stopped us in our tracks. At 80% off comes to just $225 from $1200. Here is a Saint Laurent cocktail dress, that’s perfect for New Years. It’s $1480 from $3290, a Victoria Beckham dress is $403 from $2150 and a rose gold metallic puffer from MSGM is $339 from $755.

    If you’re still waiting for a better deal Neiman Marcus will bring the additional promotion up to an extra 50% off starting 6am CST on December 26th. This after-Christmas promotion will only run for 3 hours, so set your alarm clock!

    Barneys Take a Third Markdown 70% Off: Pics Inside

    Most stores wait until after Christmas to take a third markdown but Barneys decided to give their customers’ an early holiday gift. Right now, Barneys shoppers can save up to 70% off most items.

    The discounts on bags and shoes are holding steady at 60% off but there really isn’t a great selection left. (The assortment at Bergdorfs is better but the discount isn’t as good.) The best assortment are the Chanel shoes, that are now reduced to 50% off. (You can click here to see pictures.) Among the more discounted shoes, we found Alchimia di Ballin high boots for $519 from $1300, Altuzarra print pumps are $339 from $850 and loafers from the Row are $319 from $800.

    The bag selection at Barneys is pretty thin. We are finding the simplicity of the Calvin Klein bags increasingly attractive, especially for $800 from $2000. A tote bag from The Row is $719 from almost $1800 and a Proenza Schouler shoulder bag is about $1100 from $2700. (We have pictures of a few other bags we saw on sale over here.)

    At this point, the clothing selection holds the best shopping opportunities. A Balenciaga pleated skirt is $350 from $1150, a JW Anderson dress is $260 from $865 and a Balmain mini-dress is $1129 from $3765. The store still has a heathy selection of Prada, which you can see here. The award for the best leather pants of the season goes to Ben Taverniti Unravel Project and they are now $500 from $1700. We also found this Dolce & Gabbana floral print dress that’s reduced 70% and comes to $899 from $3000.

    This markdown is pretty awesome but we know that there are likely to be additional discount promotions. Just don’t expect the better merchandise to stick around for too much longer. We can always hope for the treasures found in returns.

    Gift Guide: What to Get the Spence Girl

    New York private school girls are a most interesting specimen. They have more academic pressure than most first year law students but many are more entitled than a Goldman senior VP. To watch them in their natural habitat, one only needs to take a ride on the 79th Street crosstown bus.

    Shopping for these girls is no easy task. The bar is high but taking a step off the deep end of restraint is easier than Serena van der Woodson. We feel lucky that Nordstrom has such an abundance of wonderful options. There is truly something for everyone. Below is a gift guide curated from Nordstrom that can satisfy the private school girl, from Brearley to Columbia Grammar & Prep.

    Kate Spade grosgrain bow convertible knit mittens ($52)
    Rainbow drop earrings ($50)
    Prada phone wallet on a chain ($480)
    Jeweled cat ear beanie ($28)
    Saint Laurent monogram wallet on a chain ($1650)
    Kendall + Kylie ‘fortune cookie’ clutch ($56)
    Quay Australia Racer sunglasses ($55)
    Vetements crew socks ($66)
    Nike SF Airforce 1 high tops ($165)
    Jo Malone Cologne collection ($110)

    Bergdorf Goodman 60% Off: Inside 60+ Pics

    Bergdorf Goodman started its second markdown just last week. Most designer clothing is 60% off and most shoes and bags are reduced 50%. With just a few days before Christmas, we couldn’t help but wonder what treasures we could find in the store.

    Starting off, on the main floor, we found a few tables of bags. Bright pink and blue Balenciaga City bags and totes are reduced 50%. The most attractive sale assortment is the Valentino bags, which can be found at the center of the main store.  A gorgeous, light blue, Rockstud Spike bag that’s now $1600 from $3195. We also found a black Demilune bag that’s $1300 from $1200. A Dries top handle bag is about $500 from $950 and mini Givenchy Horizon bags in blue and purple are about $1000 from $2000. (You can see pictures of more bags over this way.)

    Moving upstairs to shoes, there is still a great assortment of Chanel, Dior and Louboutin shoes but they are both discounted 30% off still. Most other shoes are now reduced 50%. (See pictures over here.) Red velvet Louboutin heels are $586 from $695 and Dior lace mesh heels are $609 from $870. We even found small sizes of nude Louboutins in patent and flat leather. Among the more discounted shoes are Saint Laurent slingback with a rose flower that are about $1000 from $2000, No.21 satin and jeweled mules are $420 from $820 and Manolo velvet BBs are $490 from nearly $700.

    A majority of the designer clothing can be found near the back of the third floor. Most everything is discounted 60%. A printed Prada puffer is $888 from $1720, a Delpozo top is $420 from $1050 and an Alexander McQueen two-tone knit dress is $900 from $2245. Click here to  see pictures of everything we mentioned and a lot more.

    Take note, Bergdorf Goodman will offer an extra 25% off online sale items starting Christmas Day. Third markdown, which is up to 75% off will begin January 2. Stay Tuned.

    Department Store Holiday Shipping Deadlines

    You know it’s the holiday season when you need to walk in the street with taxis to avoid slow-walking tourists. There are few things less appealing than rushing from Saks to Bergdorfs while pedestrian traffic comes to a complete stop.

    The hours to take advantage of free shipping is ticking away quickly. Lucky, most New York stores will offer a messenger service for free or a small fee. As a special note, UberRush is a blessing and usually runs between $6 and $12 to have packages picked up and hand delivered throughout much of the city. Store prices tend to range from $15 to $30. Many times, retailers will wave the fee for expensive purchases. It never hurts to ask.
