    Luxury Watches Friends and Family

    Movado is the parent company of luxury brands like Ebel and Concord and also fashion brands like Juicy Couture and Lacoste. Pryced Wright sends us word that Movado hosts a friends and family sale three times a year. The discount is up to 60% off on all brands, which also includes Coach, ESQ and of course, Movado.

    At the last sale, I am told that there was a limited edition watch where Movado commissioned Proenza Schouler to design a his rendition of their Museum watch. It had a “brown dial on a fantastic distressed brown leather cuff-size strap with antiqued contrast stitching,” Wright dishes. The retail price was $1,500 but it was available at the sale for $595.

    Only challenge is you’ve gotta be willing to drive to their NJ office (650 From Rd., 3rd Fl., Paramus NJ 07652).  Load it up in your navigation system and you are road trip ready. I’ve always like the gold Ebel Beluga. Give me a shout out if you see one.

    NM.com Extra 40% Off

    I was web hopping today and came across an unexpected discount. Seems as if Neiman Marcus online is holding an extra promotion. The site is boasting an extra 40% off sale merchandise. It’s unclear if this is “Last Call” but the value is there.

    This D&G grosgrain-trimmed sheath dress is perfect for lunch or cocktails and started out at $425 but is now just $165.

    These blue or pink Manolo Blahnik crisscross ankle-wrap sandals were $675 but are now about $305.

    There has been no email notification for the extra reduction nor is there any info on the homepage. So there is still a pretty good selection and several sizes from which to choose.

    More Reductions at Saks

    Come and get it…
    I imagine that this is the last ha-ra at Saks. From Thursday, July 10th to Sunday, July 13th you can take an additional 50% off select sale merchandise. I expect the selection to be limited but the discount is deep. I did a quick scan of the website and there are still a few worth while items.

    Take this $495 See By Chloe dress. With the additional markdown it will be under $100.

    These Jimmy Choo gold snake skin sandals might not be for everyone but regardless they are pretty hot. They started out at $920 but with an extra 50% off should be about $275. Not cheap, but again they are really hot.

    Prada at Barneys

    Before I started packing for the big weekend I stopped by Prada to see if there were any further reductions. Why do laundry and pack old clothing if you can pick up something new? Turns out that there will be no more reductions at Prada. As a matter of fact all Spring/Summer merchandise is being sent away Monday. To where, nobody knows. I always imagine it to be some sort of clothing heaven where racks of clothing peacefully rest for eternity. It’s more likely an outlet.

    As a mere formality I ran into Miu Miu too. The sales people were less assured of the supreme plan but Judith was forthcoming about Barneys having a great selection, which is highly reduced. Even on the Barneys site there are some great buys. This Prada double ring flat started off at $530 and is now 50% or $265. I’m almost sure that the gladiator look will only be bigger next Spring. Just beware when shopping online at Barneys. They frequently oversell their inventory and several days later cancel orders. Don’t be surprised if what you see is not what you get.

    PS Have a fun and safe 4th of July!

    New Neiman Marcus Markdowns

    I love this time of year. Everything you have browsed over for the past six months finally becomes affordable. Most of the stuff already tires me but there are always a few items that still make my heart pound. I consider it fate when those items are still around the store and in my size. It would be so wrong to doubt fate. That’s why July is the “i’ll-take-it” month.

    This week, fate will be brought to you by Neiman Marcus. The new sale starts July 10th but pre-sale is underway. The sale is an additional 40% off already reduced prices. Music to my ears…

    Zegna 60% Off

    I think we’ve been kind of shutting it down on the men’s side these days. I have to give you guys some props once in a while. Did some calling around today and found out that Ermenegildo Zegna reduced all their Spring/Summer merchandise to 60% off.

    Before I continue lets say it together: Er-men-E-geel-do Zen-ya. Altalia friends, please feel free to correct my transliteration.

    The sale started Friday and there are lots of great staples still available. This silk-cashmere v-neck sweater will be great for Fall. It started off at $425 but is now just $170. Evan at Saks the same sweater is $198. Basic shirts are normally $355 and are now on sale for $134. Gentlemen- get over to Zegna. Pronto!

    Nordstrom Pre-Anniversary Sale

    Nordstrom is known for having great sales. There are two in particular that can send a city girl shopping in the burbs: The “Half-Yearly Sale” and the “Anniversary Sale.” The Half-Yearly sale is clearance, usually towards the end of the season. The Anniversary sale is a pre-sale before the new collection hits the department store floor.

    Starting Friday, Nordstrom’s started their Anniversary Sale. The sale consists of a catalog of pre-Fall merchandise that is discounted 25% to 40% off. Only “Level 2” Nordstrom shoppers get the catalog mailed to them but if you are nice and find a manager you might be able to browse through the catalog. Each department has its own special items that are featured in the pre-Fall sale.

    The sale runs from June 20th to August 5th but the sale is limited to “Level-2” customers until the 7th– or so they say. Purchases can be picked up or shipped as of July 18th. Prices return to normal once the sale ends in August.

    For your reference library, here are Nordy sale dates:

    • Half Yearly Sale for Women + Kids – June 6
    • Half Yearly Sale for Men – June 15
    • Anniversary Sale – July 20 – August 5
    • Half Yearly Sale for Women + Kids – November 7
    • Half Yearly Sale for Men – December 26

    Even greater deals are available on leftovers at Nordstrom’s Rack stores, where unloved goods are sent to make room for the new season’s looks.
