It’s my favorite time of year again!  Designer Shoe sale time!

I went to Nordstrom and did my pre-sale yesterday.  Here’s what I got or tried on…

Update: my SA just told me that these would not be on sale 🙁

And here are more styles that I tried on or I know for sure that are going to go on sale!

The discount varies from brand but will be 30%-40% off.  Most brands will go on sale 11/27 and Chanel, Dior and Louboutin will not go on sale until 12/4. 

If you need a great sales associate, email me and I’ll give you the info for mine, he hunts down everything for me in my size and is awesome!  Otherwise, go to Salon Shoes at Nordstrom and ask if you can do a pre-sale!  Basically how it works is that you find the shoes that you want and then on the day of the sale they’ll charge your card and send them to you (or you can pick them up at the store.)  You can always go to the store the day of the sale but pre-sale is best because you’ll for sure get your size and styles that you want!

Designer Shoe and Handbag Sale

This was the first time in a really long time that I did not pre-sale for the designer shoe and handbag sale, but between how busy work is and buying a new house and having a baby, there was no time or money left!  I did however browse this morning and there is a ton of great stuff on sale!  My favorite place to buy from online is Saks and Net-a-Porter since I don’t have to pay tax when ordering from there.  Barneys also started their sale and I believe Nordstrom will have their designer sale online tomorrow.

Alice + Olivia
Gucci
YSL Tribtoo

Saint Laurent | Miu Miu | Prada

And a ton of cute bags too!

You know how much I love my mini Marcie (see it on me here), they have a couple on sale!  The “small” size Marcie is on sale as well in select colors.  I also have this size and love it (see it on me here).

 
Chloe Mini Marcie & Python

If you are looking for a great work bag, I’m LOVING this Prada that’s marked down.  This tote is also a great option.

My Nordstrom designer handbag SA has a facebook page where she updates photos of new arrivals and sales.  You can also contact her there to see the photos of what she has on sale so email her if you are interested!

Designer shoe sale haul

It’s my bi-annual designer shoe sale haul 🙂  I tend to save up all my money and buy most of my shoes only twice a year during the sales.  I always end up buying a ton of shoes because I can never resist a good sale especially on shoes!  Well, this year I actually found a pretty bag that was on sale too so I definitely can not keep all of these but thought I’d show you what I ended up getting and maybe you can let me know which ones I should return?  I really do need your help as I love them all!

I completely forgot to take “real” (not iPhone) pics of these Fendi pumps but I instagrammed them last week.  They are so cute and I’ve been eyeing them forever, couldn’t believe the black ones went on sale!  I can’t find them on sale anymore, seems like they are back to being full price.

These Miu Miu flats I’m definitely keeping (seeing as how I’ve worn them already as you might’ve seen on my instagram). Aren’t they so pretty?  I love how they sparkle!  Bluefly currently has them on sale.

Miu Miu Jewel Flats

I got these from Net-a-Porter and I didn’t see them anywhere else on sale.  I’ve been wanting a pair of Maniac pumps for awhile so was very glad to see these go on sale.  Definitely not a color for the faint of heart but I love bold color shoes so I think I’ll get lots of wear from them.  They are sold out of my color but they still have a few on sale in pink (60% off now), pink suede and nude suede.

Brian Atwood Maniac Pumps

These YSL booties were a lucky score as my SA at Nordstrom told me I got the only pair in store and they were my size!  I’m a fan of the tributes as I already have the pumps and mary janes and find them all to be very comfortable.  I love the cap toe on these!  SSENSE has the all leather version as well as the cap toe tributes on sale

I love the color of these Jimmy Choo pumps but out of my haul these are probably my least exciting pair.  I do like to have classic pumps in different colors and textures which was what attracted me to these but I’m a bit undecided if they are worth keeping over my other shoes.  The good news for those of you that are interested in them, they are now 60% off at Nordstrom! I got them for 40% off so waiting it out is always worth it but I’m too afraid of missing out on my size so I just snag them when I can.
Jimmy Choo Cosmic Platform Pump 

Lastly are the most gorgeous Prada boots.  I have a hard time finding boots and these may just be perfection in a boot.  HOWEVER they are suede and Seattle is so rainy and gross that I hesitate to spend this much money on boots that I can’t wear very often.  I do wish they were leather but I was lucky at least finding these in my size.  They are OTK boots however, they look great scrunched down too so I like that they can double as knee high boots too.  These are the same ones but in leather.

Prada Over The Knee Boots

A lot of places are already marking down their designer merchandise to 60% off.  Sizes are slim but you never know, you might get lucky!  Make sure to check out Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter and Barney’s!

Designer Shoe Sale

Thank you so so much for all the support from yesterday’s post.  It really means a lot to me.  Now back to the regular fashion fluff that usually goes on here 🙂

If you haven’t checked, there’s still a ton of designer shoes on sale.  My favorite places to buy are Nordstrom and Net-a-porter but Saks and Neiman Marcus also has great designer sales going on now as well.  And although I haven’t checked it out yet, Nordstrom has also marked
down Louboutin shoes in store!  I bought too much this year so am going
to avoid seeing what Loubies went on sale or else I’ll be in much bigger
trouble.

Prada Pump  | Sergio Rossi “Milady”
Miu Miu Glitter Mary Jane | Miu Miu Glitter
Miu Miu Gold Glitter (60% off!) | Manolo Blahnik ‘Campari’
Jimmy Choo Tippi Pumps | Carven Bow Pumps

During the fall sale I usually just stock up on pumps but I can’t resist these sandals on sale either.

YSL Tribute Sandals | Nicholas Kirkwood Glitter Sandals
I’m going to try to take pictures soon to show you guys what I bought from the sale.  I actually ended up buying a bag too so I have to return a pair or two.  I need your help in deciding which ones to keep!
Oh and I also got word from my Chanel SA that they are doing pre-sale right now.  She has a few bags but mostly accessories (pins, scarves) that are going on sale.  I’m going to try to go tonight to see what styles are going on sale.  They don’t allow pictures anymore but I’ll see what I can do to share if you guys want to know!

Finally! Saks has their designer sale online.  I’m trying to make the tough decisions as to what to actually buy.  Luckily with the code HOLIDAY it’s free shipping and returns so I am getting a few things and seeing how they work out.

As you can expect, things are selling out fast but here are what I have my eye on.

Prada Metallic Bow Flats
Miu Miu Glitter Flats
Prada Printed Bow Flats
also love the suede bow flats!

Valentino Bow Pumps

There’s a bunch of colors on sale, including these gorgeous metallics and even the black is on sale!

Designer bags and shoes on SALE!

I’m doing my crazy shopping this morning to make sure I don’t miss out on anything and I saw that SSENSE already has a ton of designer stuff on sale!  (I believe most retailers won’t be starting the sale until 11/23 or 11/28 depending on the brand.)  I have ordered from SSENSE before and they are a reputable retailer.  One thing to note, they are based in Canada and you’ll be charged a foreign transaction fee on your credit card, but hey no tax so you still save!

All these bags and more are on sale.  Looks like it’s ranging from 20% to 30% off regular prices.  You’ll also get free shipping with code FREESHIPWW.

 OK, I’m really getting off the computer to go start cooking now!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Designer Shoe and Handbag Sale

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you probably already saw that I checked out the designer shoe pre-sale at Nordstrom so wanted to share my picks and also what else is going on sale.  My SA told me the details but I forgot them so the basics that I know is that some of the brands are going on sale 11/23 and some of the brands are going on sale a week later.  They still do not have the list for Chanel and Louboutin but if you go to Nordstrom, they will be able to show you the pre-sale list for the other designers.



These were my picks from the sale.
Miu Miu Crystal Bow flats
Jimmy Choo Cosmic pumps
Gucci Python Pump
YSL Tribtoo Bootie

My advice to you if you can not get to Nordstrom to do a pre-sale is to stalk them online. Save the links to your bookmarks and on 11/23 click on over to try and catch them on sale!  Oh and the shoes range from 33% – 40% off their regular price.

Click through for more sale, lots of pics!

These styles will also be going on sale:

 Miu Miu Glitter Sneaker | Prada Platform Pump
Prada Slingback Bootie | Prada Multi Lace Bootie

I forgot to take more pics (too excited by all the sales!) but from what I remember, these are also going on sale. 

Prada Platform Pump | Prada Covered Platform Over the Knee Boot (I’m getting these if my SA can find my size! crossing my fingers)

Miu Miu Bow Bootie | Miu Miu Bow Pump

Yves Saint Laurent ‘Tribtoo’ Moccasin Pump | Yves Saint Laurent ‘Tribtoo’ Platform Pump
The higher heel Tribtoo wasn’t on sale but these lower heel ones are.  I think they had a gray that was on sale.

I also stopped by the handbags department and they were also doing pre-sale.  They had it set up on a few tables so it was easy to see what was on sale.  I think most of the bags are going to be 40% off their regular price.

In the front is the Marc Jacobs Whitney, Chloe Marcie Animation and Chloe small crossbody

These two were my picks.  I got the blue Marc Jacobs on pre-sale but not sure about it yet.  I love the Chloe Marcie but since I already have one, I decided not to get it.  It looks a bit blue in this picture but it’s more of an off-black. 

Marc Jacobs Karlie | Chloe Marcie

These two were also on pre-sale. I love the color.  I think this blue is going to be a big color for the spring.  

If you’ve never done pre-sale before, it just means that they’ll hold the merchandise for you until the actual sale date.  They’ll then charge your card and you can pick it up on or after that date.  So it basically just secures you that you’ll get what you want without battling the crowds.  Most of the time, I still go to the store the day of the store as sometimes my SA can’t find my size of a certain shoe that I like but then it will randomly pop up during the sale date so it’s always good to check!
