Not sure what to do this weekend? We suggest you head to Barneys.

Through Sunday, Barneys shoppers can earn a $25 gift card for every $250 you spend. Purchases over $1000 will get you even more. Click on the Barneys image to see a blow-up of the breakdowns. Accrued gift cards are redeemable for merchandise from September 20 through October 24.

The only exclusions are Louboutin shoes (handbags are included in the promo), Chanel and Celine. That leaves lots of the prime fall fashion from which to choose (or shoes.) Gucci, Alia and Valentino are included in the promotion. We would suggest going for Saint Laurent Niki boots (not the sparkle ones), the Loewe Puzzle bag (in red to show off the great lines), a new pair of Gucci loafers (last year’s look wore out already),  an Ienki Ienki puffer  or Balenciaga’s pointy toe kitten heels (almost sold out).

The Purple Card promotion is available at Barneys stores nationwide, on the website and at BarneysWarehouse. (Winter clothing is an extra 25% off at the online outlet store!)

Be warned, however, Barneys will most likely not extend the dates if the cards aren’t used during the specified window of time. So be sure to enjoy your meal at Freds and go back next week to use those gift cards!

Usually, we are very cautious when posting about sample sales. There are just too many shopping days in the year to justify big purchases and out-of-the-way destinations. Next week may prove to be a huge exception. The two-day Charlotte Olympia kicks off on Tuesday morning and we are told it will be even better than last year.

The sale will include shoes from this past Summer and include the Let’s Go Bananas collection, the Secret Garden collection from cruise ’17 and lots of kitties and encore styles. Prices will start at just $50 and cap off at $300 on most items. At the last sale, most style shoes were just $100 and we expect this sale to be just as good. You can click here to see what we found at last year’s sale.

You can take a peak at some of the styles we expect to be in the sale over here in the jump.

It’s day four of New York Fashion Week and even top stylists start running out of outfit ideas. (That’s especially if the outfits are coming out of their own closets.) Net-A-Porter knows the struggle and is offering 10% off almost everything on its site.

Use the code SHOP10 to active the discount, which was only given to top VIP shoppers.

This season, we are noticing a lot of the top fashion girls opting for alternative luxury brand bags. In place of the obvious designer labels, opt for off the radar options like The Volon’s mini cube, Simon Miller’s mini bucket bag and Loewe’s Puzzle bag.

Among footwear we are still seeing a lot of Adidas (boring). There are also lots of interesting shaped mules and boots. We love Malone Souliers suede mules, Off-White’s ‘For Walking’ over-the-knee boots.

If you’re looking for more than an accessory, then you need something long and dramatic. Perhaps something like this Rixo printed print wrap dress worn as a duster or dramatic ruffle and tie tops like this one from Rosie Assouline.

If the Net’s discount still doesn’t fit into your budget, we suggest you register a new email account with TheOutnet and save 20% as a new customer.
