Sale Report: Scoop Spring Closet Clean-Ups Sale

I checked out the Scoop Spring Closet Clean-Ups Sale over the weekend and I found plenty of merch at a great price. Sure it's not necessarily the latest or the greatest but there are plenty of contemporary designer level pieces and the house brand at a great price.

Basics like tank tops are in a veritable rainbow of shades and start at $19 a pop. You can also find plenty of sweaters for $69 each - many of which are light weight or airy and could take you through this weird transitional weather we've been having in New York.

Shop: Derek Lam Design Nation

Derek Lam's Design Nation collection for Kohl's launched only just a few days ago but it's 25% off as an introductory price! With styles this cute it's really hard to resist! My personal favorites are the printed pants, the graphic dress and the striped shorts! I also really like the midkini swim top. Did you know that Derek Lam has never designed swimwear before? Here's your chance to get it for a great price!

Designer Shoe Sale Alert: Nordstrom Rack

Twice a year, Nordstrom Rack holds a designer shoe sale - one of which started today!  I stopped by the Union Square location on my way home from work to check it out and here's what I found.  Shoes are between 50%-70% off for both men and women.  There are a few racks set up near the cash register  which house the majority of the women's designer shoes.  Men's designer shoes, while still available but in fewer quantities are disbursed throughout the regular shoe section so some digging is required.  Keep in mind, sizing is sporadic as are styles but you can definitely score big at this sale.  Click below to see a sample of what's up for grabs (warning - this a pretty picture intensive post!).

Fashion Girls for Humanity: Sale for Sandy

Back in 2011 when the earthquake hit Japan, Fashion Girls for Humanity was formed in an effort raise funds for disaster relief.  The Girls are back at it again but this time the cause hits much closer to home.  We've all seen the news, heard our co-workers stories and now here's our chance to help out.  Over 100 designers and 100 rolling racks are going to be up for grabs at this sale with proceeds going towards hurricane relief efforts. The Girls raised over $400,000 since 2011 and they are comprised entirely of volunteers which is pretty amazing.

Admission is just $5 ($50 for early admission) and tickets can be purchased in advance here.  If you can't make it out to the sale, online donations are also being accepted here.

Honestly, I've heard people gripe about the pricing at this sale (it is on the steep end) but please understand that really is going towards an amazing cause and that those comments are completely out of line.  Please help show your support for the city we all love and call home.

Who:  Fashion Girls for Humanity
What: Discounts on over 100 designers (for a full listing of participating designers, click here).  Tickets can be purchased online or at the door.

The New York City boutique and purveyors of downtown style, Kirna Zabete, has long been a celebrity favorite.  Now you can snag the collection of Kirna Zabete x Target for 50% off. Where? Online at Target? No! Target.com is still just 30% off but suprisingly on the Kirna Zabete website you can snag everything from leopard print hats, enamel lip shaped rings and dresses at a great price.  All orders come with free shipping but unlike a purchase from Target, all sales of 50% or more from Kirna Zabete are FINAL SALE so be sure that you know your size and are sure of your purchases before clicking buy! Please note sizes on the website are also much more limited. I snagged a Mesh Mix High-Lo shirt dress, mesh print tee, lace long sleeve tee and Parisian night hi low shirt. Let me know if you score anything awesome. Happy shopping!

Introducing: Gilt Live

No one could ever accuse Gilt Groupe of lacking in innovation.  They changed the way the world shopped online for designer merchandise by giving shopping a sense of urgency.  


Now Gilt takes things a step further with the launch of Gilt Live on Gilt.com.  The new photo stream format reminds me a little bit of Pinterest but now instead of aspirational images you're seeing what other members are buying in real time.  If you hold your mouse over an image you can see a quick overview of the product - the brand, the price, the cost and when it was purchased.  There are also options to share with your friends through Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook.  Items that have five or less remaining will show a countdown in the corner showing that how many are left. 


While I'm not sure what I think of the new format it's fun to quickly browse through multiple categories to see what other people are buying and what you have to move quickly on simultaneously.  While I don't think this will be a shopping game changer by any means it's good to keep pushing forward and try new ways to shop.

Winter Clearance: Nine West Up to 70% Off

January truly is the best time of year to get retail bargains and online shopping makes it even easier to snag the style you love at a fraction of a price.  This morning as I groggily tried to wake up in bed by skimming emails on my phone I saw that Nine West was now up to 70% off!  While I brushed my teeth I continued to skim through the styles and started making a cart so big that I seriously had to weed out my pickings - afterall even if shoes are a great price, real estate in my closet is rare!

Here are a few of my fave bargains to snag:

Pinktop $51.60 - Very reminiscent of the style of my beloved Camilla Skovgaard's styling with the jagged traction soles but in a simple enough shape to knot scream "Knock-Off" - even if there are several very similar styles.

TheGhost $44.70 - Loved this very vintage looking collection from supermodel/singer Karen Elson.  These peep-toe shoes are just about perfect, unfortunately when my browsing turned to purchasing, they ran out of my size before I could order them.

Nyoko $54.40 - I love a good winter bootie, especially the lace up ones and throw them on with everything from sweatpants to dresses.  This particular pair is really cute in the off kilter green color with faux shearling trim.

Online Shopping Finds–Graphic Statements

Happy shopping!
