    DVF Sample Sale

    Friends, family and fans are invited to preview the Diane von Furstenberg sample sale one day early, starting Monday, December 7th at 11am. The sale opens to the general public Tuesday and continues through Friday.

    At the last sale, wrap dresses started at $125 but were reduced to $100 towards the end of the sale. This is the type of sale where it’s worth shopping at the beginning and bouncing for the extra $25. It’s fun to go again on the final day of the sale but by then the merchandise is pretty wiped out and so are our wallets.

    DFV has made appearances at prior sales and we look forward to a time when we get to hear a list of her favorite shopping secrets. For now, take a look through the DVF site and plan your attack. It’s going to be a fund sale. It always is!

    Friends, Family & Fans Monday, Dec. 7/ 11am to 6pm
    Public Sale Tuesday, Dec 8 to Friday, Dec. 11

    Coach Discount

    Madison Avenue girls are not usually known for prettifying themselves in Coach. Receiving a discount card, however, caused us to take a closer look.

    What did we find? First, we made sure to avoid the handbags. Then we ran into the sweetest lavender cashmere lined gloves ($98). We were hoping to find an acceptable pair of boots but there was nothing. A tween would likly enjoy carrying her lunch money in a wristlet ($98). Yup. That’s all we could muster.

    Lucky we aren’t the brand’s demographic but maybe you have a friend, neice, babysitter or sister-in-law who just adores Coach. In that case, you can save 25% off all your purchses at Coach boutiques between December 4 and December 13. Just make sure to take a copy of the above imagine with you on your shopping trip.

    Good luck. Even if you don’t like the gift you’re purchasing we are sure they wrap beautifully.

    Saks Markdown

    Saks has started preselling for their next big sale, which starts December 3rd. Our spies say the shoe floor is manic with Carrie Bradshaw wannabes. Isn’t that what happens when Chanel shoes are 30% off?

    We hear that Prada and Gucci shoes and bags are 40% off. Earlier this month, ready-to-wear was reduced 40%. We have a feeling that designer clothing will be reduced to 50% off shortly. When it does, we’ll let you know!

    Cyber-Monday Deals

    Good morning and welcome to Cyber Monday. After spending hours of browsing the web we’ve come to realize that Cyber Monday may be more hype than discount. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any deals out there. It just takes a lot of browsing and looking.

    In an effort to get you back to work as quickly as possible — and maybe save your job– we’ve pulled the three best luxury cyber deals:

    Barneys: Select styles of Christian Louboutins have been reduced 40%. Miss booties were $1070 and are now $649, gold Top La T-straps were $855 and now are $509 and basic red Delics are now $409 from $675. Most other brands like, Giuseppe Zanotti, Chloe and Miu Miu are still full price online but are 40% off in the store. So stick to the CL’s if you’re strictly cyber shopping today.

    Net-A-Porter: There is no sale section on the site, however, a scattering of merchandise has been reduced 30% to 50% off. Again, the shoe department has the best deals. Backless Christian Louboutin Lynn ankle boots were $965 and are half off ($482). Miu Miu ankle boots with cut-out straps are $350 with a 50% off discount. Halston thigh highs are also 50% off, along with Balmain crystal studded boots ($1495), and Givenchy black crocodile-skin sandals ($397.)

    Herve Leger: The high-end BCBG line is hosting a private online sale. Most items are 50% off or more and there are still lots of sizes remaining. A metallic one shoulder dress was $1650 and is now $825. A square neck bondage dress was $1300 and is now $390, a foil print dress was $1450 and is now $580, and a fuchsia color blocked dress is $540 from $1350.
