    The Best Manolo Sale of the Season

    The Manolo Blahnik final price cut is finally here. Starting Monday, Manolo will begin their last markdown of the season. This four day sale is the perfect opportunity to stock up on classic and ornate shoes from the designer’s winter collection at up to 75% off.

    Sale styles are from the exclusive boutique collection and include some alligator. Prices are always marked by sticker dots, which usually range from $195 for a red dot up to $350 for a green dot. Most shoes and low boots– even highly ornate styles– are priced at $250.

    The markdown event begins Monday and run through Thursday, February 9. Once the sale ends the Blahnik boutique will close for a breather. The planned re-org will continue until Monday, February 13th, when the store will reopen with the new collection.

    The store is often crowded but at least there usually isn’t a long line to get in. The sale will only run for four days and styles and sizes run low quickly. If you’re looking for a great deal we suggest you switch out of your heels and take a run over to the boutique asap.

    For a full rundown of past final markdowns you can check out past story from the Summer here.

    Barneys Purple Card Promotion

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

    Starting today and through Sunday, Barneys shoppers can earn a $25 gift card, or “Purple Card’, for every $250 they spend. Accrued gift cards are redeemable for merchandise from Monday, February 6, 2017 through Wednesday, March 5, 2017.

    Take note, Purple Cards are available when you purchase Chanel, Brunello Cucinelli and Ermenegildo Zegna, but can’t be used for redemption on those brands. Celine and Christian Louboutin are excluded on purchases and redemptions. On the bright side, the store still has plenty of sale merchandise that is eligible for the gift card promo.

    The Purple Card promotion is available at Barneys stores nationwide, on the website and at BarneysWarehouse. (Winter clothing is an extra 40% 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!

    ShopBop 70% Off Clearance Explodes

    New Spring merchandise is pushing aging sweaters and coats to the back of stores. In the online world, the clearance tab is the proverbial bargain basement. Today, Shopbop has reduced hundreds of items to 70% off.

    After browsing over 1400 clearance items, we pulled our favorites into the lookbook above. Some of the sale highlights include, a Derek Lam double breasted wool coat that’s $870 from $2900, Aquazzura high boots with long fringe is $500 from $1700 and Sara Battaglia fringe bag for $202 from $575. There are also lots of less expensive staples like 3×1 embroidered jeans that are $190 from $625, a Public School shirtdresss is $100 from $350 and Frame skinny jeans are $62 from $209.

    Take note, all these 70% off items are final sale. The no-backsies rule used to really bother us but we’ve realized that we never return anything bought online anyway. (Too lazy.) So really, what’s the difference?

    The Most Hyped Jackets Are Finally on Sale

    The past two weeks have been big for markdowns on winter outerwear. Most of the sales were only available in stores– until now. Finally, those discounts have hit the internet and we have just the right links to find them.

    Head this way to find a few remaining Moncler styles still available on the Bergdorf Goodman website. This peplum jacket is $900 from $1515 and a wool coat with fur trim is $3600 from nearly $6000. Saks Fifth Avenue still has this fur layered jacket available for $1200 from $2100.  All the Monclers are 40% off.

    If you’re looking for steeper discounts you can snag this Fendi style that’s reduced 60%. We especially like that the monster print is on the inside, which will add it’s fashion longevity. Check out this Diane von Furstenberg tweed jacket that’s reduced all the way down to $174 from almost $500. This Goes J wool coat with ruffles is really sweet and a terrific price now that it’s 70% off. It’s just $450 from $1565. This Mr & Mrs Italy fur lined parka, has been reduced 40% or $2300 from $3800.

    The second markdown on outerwear always comes very quickly. Keep your eyes open and a good sales person on speed dial.

    Hunt & Gather: $200 Designer Shoes

    The prices of designer shoes have skyrocketed even more quickly than the Dow Jones. It wasn’t so long ago that standard designer pumps retailed for $600. Now $900 is the benchmark designer pumps. Analysts frequently debate if people are actually spending more money or just waiting longer for deeper discounts.

    After experiencing a season of sticker shock it’s fun to hunt for shoes that are reduced under $300. We like to think of it as three for the price of one. Above is an assortment of shoes that will cost you somewhere in the $200-range. It just proves that no matter your budget you should never settle.

    Our lineup includes an impressive assortment from Laurance Decade, Gianvitto Rossi, Jimmy Choo, Chloe, Saint Laurent and Altuzarra. Sizes are limited in each style but if you hunt, we are sure everyone can find something to gather.

    Bloomingdales: Moncler Markdowns and Designer 85% Off

    Monclers are hitting the sale racks and Bloomingdales was our latest haunt. Right now, select coats and jackets are discounted 40%.

    Among the sale items we found a down vest-peacoat combination for $1597 from $2130, this puffer with fur is $1770 from $2360 and this short jacket comes to $888 from $1480. This two-piece wool coat with a puffer vest that comes in both grey and camel is $1571 from $2095.

    Not far from the Moncler assortment we found an entire alcove of designer merchandise that’s reduced to almost 85%. An Etro coat was about $3000 and is currently reduced to $895. A long Sonia Rykiel coat with leopard collar and trim is about the same price. The assortment also contains a lot of Victoria Beckham, J. Mendel, Moschino and Lela Rose. A violet top with ruffles comes to about $150 from $500 and a print dress is $300 from $995. A powder blue Narciso Rodriguez dress is $530 from $1800 and a J. Mendel pleated dress is $500 from about $1500. You can see pictures of lots of sale items here.

    While on the designer floor we figured we would check in and see if there was a second markdown on Chanel items. The bad news is that all the clothing is still only 40% off. The funny news is that all the winter items are stuffed in a fitting room in the back of the Chanel section. The sales person admitted that Chanel doesn’t want sale merchandise on the sales floor. So, a crowded fitting room is better? (We have pictures here, in the jump.)

    We also checked out the second floor contemporary designers but suggest that shoppers wait for the next big Bloomies promo. Most merchandise isn’t currently discounted much more than 50%. We’ll keep you updated if anything is to change. We know it will.
