There are some good deals to be had at Bloomingdale's if you hurry...

You can take 20% off selected items (it's a good selection) when you spend $250 - $499 and 30% off when you spend $500 or more.


Here's an example:
Herve Leger Black Signature Dress, regular $850, with sale $$595.

Good news for New York fashionistas... Rock & Republic is having their first ever NYC warehouse sale starting on Friday!

J.Crew is offering 20% off women's knits and tees through the end of the day Thursday. No coupon code is required.

Here are some examples:

Tissue Tuxedo Tank, sale $29.20 (regular $36.50) 

Vintage Bateau Top, sale $28.80 (regular $36.00)

And it even includes knit dresses, like this one: Lilac Shower Shift Dress, sale $55.60 (regular $69.50)

Ann Taylor is offering a 30% off Friends & Family discount tomorrow 11/17 through Sun. 11/22.  The online code is FRIENDS.

As I've mentioned a few times this the Fall, their stuff is so much nicer this year thanks to their new designer.  So this is a great chance to take advantage...

From October 22 - 26, Caudalie is offering a 20% off friend and family sale good on anything! Use code FALLHARVEST at checkout.

This is a great opportunity to try their new Premier Cru anti-ageing cream. It's normally a rather steep $150 for 1.7 oz, but on sale it would be $120.

Caudalie isn't a brand you'd expect to go on sale, EVER, so this is a good time to stock up... you could even start early holiday gift shopping!  My favorite products are the gentle cleanser, creme contour eye cream, beauty elixir and Premieres Vendages moisturizer.

J. Crew is offering 20% off orders of $150 or more with code SHOPFALL at checkout. It is valid today through Wed. 10/14.

A good opportunity to fill in any holes in your Fall wardrobe...

Today you can get a nice selection of Gucci Swiss-made watches at Bluefly for half off!  I love the bamboo and horsebit styles in particular...

Some examples...

Gucci Taupe and Natural Bamboo '6800' Series Watch, SALE $438 (regular $875)

Gucci Black Alligator 'Signoria' Horsebit Petite Watch, SALE $598 (regular $1,195)

They even have a couple of travel clocks, this one is in chocolate Guccisima leather, Gucci '200' Alarm Clock, SALE $175 (regular $350)

Neiman's Last Call Sale online has some AMAZING bargains!

Manolo Blahnik Studded Sandal, regular $865, sale $389

Prada Jeweled Sandal, regular $620, sale $279

Valentino Braided Sandal, regular $645, sale $290

Theory Buckle Sandal, regular $375, sale $169

There's a lot more too: Gucci, YSL, Louboutin, Fendi, Dolce... etc. etc.  Sizes are pretty limited though so hurry!

I've been eyeing this shoe for months now... and now it's on sale!  Hmmm, tempting.

LAMB Tammy original $374, sale $296.

$296 is still a lot though.  They have it in black and brown... this shoe looks really good in both colors.

I posted a couple of months ago about the closing of eLuxury.... well they're now down to the bitter end.  What's left is all an additional 50% off, although there is hardly anything left!  The handbags and accessories category, for example, is down to just 2 belts.

It will be interesting to see what they do with it.  I suspect it will be good.

The Gucci Spring Summer Sale starts today...

Their sales are always pretty good, with pretty aggressive markdowns which is somewhat surprising for a top brand.  Even the ready-to-wear is on sale.  For example this double breasted raincoat, regular price $2625, sale $1579.  That's almost 40% off.

J. Crew is having a private sale, 20% off any order over $175 now through Memorial Day with code SUMMER at checkout.

It's a good time to stock up on swimwear or beach dresses.  They do such a great job with both of those.  I still have my jersey twisted strap beach dress from a couple of seasons ago.  I've loved it... and I'm sure I'll continue to this Summer.  This year, I think this one looks really cute: Jersey Strapless Dress, $78. It's viscose which I love for its drape and softness.

This is the papaya color.  Since I'm somewhat color-phobic, I think I'd stick with dark charcoal.  But you never know, maybe someday I'll be crazy and get a real color!

Bluefly is having an extra 10% off everything today. I love how they have a selection from the very top brands that you often cannot find online like Chanel and Hermes.

What caught my eye is this Gucci Tote. I've been looking for a black bag with gold hardware, all of my black bags have silver hardware...

Gucci Babouska Top Handle Bag, Retail $1,595, Bluefly $1,276, Sale $1,148.40.  It is from last season, but that's okay...

I like the giant grommets, and the zipper on the top is nice. In the city, you want to make sure your bag is closed up properly, especially when you're sandwiched in on the subway!

They even have 2 wallets that go with this. Hysteria French Wallet (sale $273.60) and Babouska French Wallet (sale $331.20).

A shipment of Dolce & Gabbana is coming to Loehmann's tomorrow!

I know it's a bit depressing to shop at such an ugly store (the one in Philadelphia, that has since closed, looked no different than a K-mart), but for deals like this it is so worth it!  I am still loving my Diane Von Furstenburg silk jersey dress that I got there last year...

The Hermes sample sale at the Metropolitan Pavilion (123 West 18th Street, betw. 6th & 7th) starts today!

The hours are today through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm and Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm.  Good luck!

Caudalie, one of my favorite skincare brands, is having a friends and family sale later this week!  20% off from March 27 - March 31!  I've never seen Caudalie on sale before!!

I love their Fleur de Vigne Fragrance, Gentle Cleanser and Beauty Elixer. But really, everthing they make is amazing!

Bluefly is having a pretty amazing sale right now, today is the last day though! 

Here are some examples:

ABS Slingback Sandal, with the extra 25% off, only $59.24!

Nanette Leport Black Ruched Cotton Dress, with the extra 25% off, only $104.99!

AG Straight Leg Jeans, with the extra 25% off, only $66.74!

Wow, these are crazy prices.  It's the only good thing about the recession, but bad too, because it's so tempting to buy stuff we don't need!

Banana Repbulic is having a one day only sale, 40% off all regular priced items, TODAY (in stores only).

They will also do a price adjustment if you bought something full priced in the last 2 weeks.  And, if you sign up for the BR credit card you get an extra 20% off! 

It's good timing because I like their collection right now.  I'd been off Banana for a good year or so but this Fall and Winter they seem to have some nice things.  I got the holiday dress that I really wanted (but didn't want to pay full price for).

Silk/Cotton Lace Dress, $150, on sale ONLY $90 (CRAZY)

It looks better in person!  They also have great scarves, wraps and jewelry that make good gifts for people you don't want to buy clothes for.  Cheers and happy shopping.

J. Crew is offering flat % savings off orders of at least $150 through this Saturday (code TURKEY at checkout).  They usually only offer sales on one category or additional discounts of their sale items, but this is good for the entire collection.

Ralph Lauren is having a private sale with up to 40% off now through Monday, Nov. 17th. Also, an extra 15% off with code NOV1317 at checkout.

Here are a couple of examples, this Blue Label cashmere turtleneck dress is normally $325, on sale $199 and with an extra 15% off, $169.15.

This Blue Lable slim fit tee with a heraldric lion and crown crest is normally $98, sale $49 and with an extra 15% off, $41.65.

With deals like this, it's a good time to start holiday shopping!

J. Crew is offering an extra 30% off sale items with code EXTRA30 until Sat. Nov. 8 at 9:59 PM ET.

There are some great bargains like this winter coat in an Italian wool/cashmere blend. Regular $325, with extra sale $192.50.

 

A classic trouser style jean in a nice medium/dark wash. Regular $120, with extra sale $70.

 

Also, the great skull wellie boots that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago (orig. $78) can now be had for a mere $35.

Their website is often annoyingly slow lately, but it's worth the trouble for these great deals.

Check out this fabulous dress in the sale section of Net-a-Porter.  Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Stud Trim Dress, Regular Price $495, Sale $247.50!

I love the sleeves and the overall design. You can also wear it belted. The studs are very much like the Carrie belt in the SATC movie.  (although I would  not recommend wearing them together, that would be overkill!) It's a cotton/polyester blend with metal studs. For $250 it's pretty tempting!!!

I totally love J. Crew's sales, but even more when then do additional markdowns!  Right now they're offering an additional 30% off sale items with code EXTRA30 at checkout!  Here are some examples of the amazing bargains:

Linen Critter Cabana Bag: Regular $78 - Sale $39.99 - Extra Sale $27.99. White linen with bamboo handles and a quirky crab critter emboidered onto the bottom corner.

Deco-Dot Zoey Dress: Regular $88 - Sale $59.99 - Extra Sale $41.99.  This is a great summer dress in an embossed cotton, the sweet orange color is in style this year... .who knows about next, but for $41.99, who cares?

Solid Cross-Back Tissue Tank: Regular $48 - Sale $34.99 - Extra Sale $24.49. Cute lightweight top, comes in 8 colors!

Refined Canvas San Telmo Jacket: Regular $158 - Sale $89.99 - Extra Sale $62.99. Midweight canvas with a mandarin collar and elbow length sleeves.

They've also got a bunch of sweaters and swim separates on sale! They recently tweaked their website and made some changes that I don't like.  In the sale you used to be able to conveniently search by size, now that feature is gone.  I hope they bring it back!

I can't recall this ever happening before, but I got an email yesterday announcing additional markdowns on their sale!  WOOHOO!  I guess the recession is even slowing down Gucci customers.  Anyway, it's a great opportunity to swoop in for some bargains.

For example, just what EVERYONE needs is these G shape ice cube trays (set of 2), normally $100, now only $39.

A great bamboo key ring, normally $160, now only $59.

In shoes, they were showing a lot of patent leather for Spring/Summer - I'm not a fan. But if you are, a lot of those styles are on sale. But check these out... "Pelham" high heel platform sandal with 3.7" heel in brown leather with light gold hardware, normally $495, now only $199!!!!

You can even find some great bargains in ready-to-wear fashion like these black tab waist pants in cotton/elastene. Normally $675, now only $269! Wow, that's amazing.

Hurry before they run out! Gucci.com.

What's with this poor guy's outfit? Is that really supposed to inspire us to shop? Ugghh. I don't think so. Anyway, we can forgive them for that, for 30% off!

J Crew (www.jcrew.com) is having an extra 20% off sale items right now.  It's a great time to stock up on basics, but you have to do it fast because they always run out of the good colors/sizes when they have the extra 20% off.  Here are some examples:  Classic Cashmere Cable Cardigan - regular price $160, sale $99.99, extra sale $79.99. 

Links Print Silk Tank Dress - regular price $140, sale $69.99, extra sale $55.99.

Just a quick note today to say that if you haven't checked out the Gucci sale yet, you really should!

The great thing about their sales is that although they are rare, they do mark down pretty aggressively.

Here are some examples:

This great large tote in the fabulous bamboo print with leather trim - a great beach bag - is now only $359 marked down from $595.

>

This classic bag in the brown GG print with nice leather details is $739 marked down from $1050.

All of these great deals are online at Gucci.com, but if you have a store near you then you should go because they often have a different selection at the stores.
