    Retail Therapy: Danielle & Jodie Snyde

    Sure we browse Vogue, watch Beyonce and listen to our best friend’s style advice but few things are better than making your own fashion discovery. This was exactly the case with Dannijo jewelry, which became an instant addition at first sight.

    Dannijo uniquely emits a polished uptown feel with a raw downtown flair. We especially love the edgy rock star designs and diverse textures, including exotic skins and twisted metal. Dannijo’s designing sister team, Danielle and Jodie Snyde, have a style almost as eclectic as their designs. Today, they share shopping secrets and dish on where they find inspiration. What do you think?

    What’s your most prized deal?
    Jodie: A vintage purse that I bought 6 months ago and never want to take off. 

    Danielle: My old-school vintage mens leather watch

    Biggest regret that you didn’t purchase?
    Jodie: I have no regrets. I always buy what I like. Sometimes I regret buying it.

    Danielle: Let me think about that…

    This season you are looking for…
    Jodie: A new pair of jeans. I can’t find any I love 

    Danielle: Cinch vintage belts, lacey lingerie, and more sundresses in this heat

    What’s your number one shopping tip?
    Jodie: Don’t get sucked into sales and buy things just because they’re on sale. You’ll probably hate it when you get home and try to wear it out. Focus on key pieces that will take you from season to season.

    Danielle: Buy it only if YOU love it–not because the people around you say it looks great on you (they won’t be there when you get dressed) 

    What’s your biggest weakness?
    Danielle: Sweets–birthday cake, pinkberry…
    Jodie: Ditto. and shoes

    Is there an item for which a shopper should never mind paying full price?
    Jodie: Jewelry because it always completes your look and it gets passed down from generation to generation

    Danielle: Yeah, if it’s an item they can’t live without. I wear jeans more than anything so I don’t have a problem splurging on them (and when I’m sick of them, I make them cut-offs for summer)

    Second Chance at Cartier Love

    We just found out that Divorce Your Jewels received another Cartier Love bracelet and we couldn’t wait to be the first to offer it to our readers. This iconic 18-karat gold bracelet retails for $3950 but can be yours for just $2100.

    Only Cartier employees get a discount of half off. So we suggest you jump on this offer unless you have a good friend working for the company. Last time we posted about an available Love bracelet it sold within hours and they don’t come around often.

    You can always buy with confidence because Divorce Your Jewels only sells authentic high quality pre-owned jewelry. Check out other Divorce Your Jewels deals here or you can contact Missy to turn your unwanted jewels into dreams fulfilled– or a trip to San Tropez!

    Matthew Williamson 60% Off

    Almost everything from the spring/summer collection at Matthew Williamson is now 60% off.

    The limited edition Belvedere collection didn’t make it to the markdown but there is still a great variety of colorful dresses and kaftans from which to choose. A mirrored shift dress is $588 from $1395, a long purple gown is $918 from $2295 and a chiffon camisole is $317 from $795.

    We are still hoping that prices go to 80% off like last summer but it doesn’t seem very likely.

    John Varvatos Friends and Family

    In the case of the John Varvatos friends and family sale you get the equivalent of a back stage pass. From Tuesday, July 13 to Thursday July, 15 shoppers can save 70% off the spring/summer collection.

    Online shoppers can use the code SP10FF to access the same discount. We are especially digging this racing jacket, which is $420 from $1395.

    Just take notice, all sales are final– just like an unforgettable night at CBGBs.

    Summer Manolo Sale

    The semi-annual Manolo Blahnik has begun. Spring and summer styles are now 60% off and there’s a great selection, according to our spies.

    The initial rush caused lines down the block on Friday, but the fury has slowed over the weekend. In 2009, the big summer markdown was just 50% off and it occurred to weeks later.


    Generally speaking, the last markdown during the winter sale is better because shoes are usually marked down 70% and the boutique also pulls out the exotic skin classic-style pumps. If you’re looking for sandals, however, this is the time to go.

    Barneys Didn’t Cut Prices

    Barneys announced their final markdown today but their prices are the same as they were two weeks ago.

    On June 27, we posted about Barneys second markdown, which amounted to savings up to 60% off. Prada Plex sandals are still $299 from $750. The $240 Louboutins we quoted are sold out but the seven pair left online are still just 60% off. That Vena Cava dress that was $159 is still, yup, $159.

    Last season, prices were slashed up to 75% off. So we question the validity of this being the final markdown. Maybe we just need to wait until the final final markdown.

    Stella McCartney 60% Off

    The Stella McCartney has reduced spring and summer merchandise to 60% off in stores and online. We are told that there is still a nice range of merchandise from which to choose.

    A Zebra print dress is $99 from $235, a military jacket is $559 from $1395 and a chiffon blouse is $697 from $1675.

    If you’re looking to grab some of these McCartney discounts you might want to go soon. The spring and summer collection is only going to be around for another week.
