Buy more, save more, no shipping, no tax- sign me up!

I have been eyeing this Helmut Lang skirt for well over a month. Every day I check the price at Nordstrom, Neimans, Saks, Bloomingdales, Yoox, etc., waiting for the best deal.  At $335 I cannot even think about it. 

Nordstrom has it on sale for $200.98, which is far better, but still not discounted enough.

So today,  in going through my normal online search,  I noticed that Bloomingdales finally marked it down.  If you don’t know, Bloomingdales is like Macy’s is that they are ALWAYS offering some sort of deal, discount, promotion.  With a quick online search, I found a promo code for online shopping- SUMMER.

The more you buy, the more you save, ranging from 20%-40% off your purchase of qualifying items.  Orders over $150 ship for free, and if you live where there isn’t a Bloomingdales, (helloooo Denver) there is no sale tax.

This savvy shopper saved well over 50% and can hardly wait to live in this skirt this summer.

I am a little nervous to post this.

About a month ago I was at my favorite Denver store, Last Call, and saw my dream Gucci bag for $800, marked down from $3000.  But guilt got the best of me, and I passed it up.  I have been thinking about it ever since.  So I spent yesterday, calling EVERY Last Call store in the country looking for it. Don't judge me, we all have our vices. Alas, the bag is sold out.

I found out from another fashion blogger that Gucci is having a 1/2 off sale that started over the weekend. I thought I could find my dream bag on sale and call it a day.  But of course, Gucci doesn't make the bag anymore.  I searched every resale online site, I called every Gucci outlet, and I swear my dream bag is not available at my dream price point.

My dream bag, priceless

I am now really kicking myself.  But then today I decided to call the Gucci store in Aspen.  Since 4:30 this afternoon Danielle in Aspen has been sending me sale pictures, quoting me prices, digging in the back closet to find a steal for me.  If you are in the market for a designer bag, you should call Danielle in Aspen.  Here are a few pics of the goods and the phone # for the Aspen store, 970-920-9150

Prices range from $650 to $1500.  You can see some additional bags online, but you have to ask Danielle for the website.

The Mothership Pulls One Out

Much to my surprise, Nordstrom had the steal of the day today.  I love Nordstrom, don't get me wrong, my college girlfriends and I refer to it as "the Mothership." However, they don't have the best sales.  Their discount percentage rarely goes more than 40% off, so I was really caught off guard today when I found this bag, at the Nordstrom in Cherry Creek, for just about $700ish.

The picture doesn't do it justice. No online link today, as the web says it is sold out.  First come, first serve in Cherry Creek.

Heaven for Betsey this was a steal

Wedding season is upon us and it can get really expensive, especially if you're attending a destination wedding.  If you can save on the dress you wear, when you likely won't be saving elsewhere, it can be a good deal all around.

I found this Betsy Johnson dress for my gorgeous client who was on a dress budget this summer (with three weddings to attend).  The second she put this Betsey Johnson dress on, she fell in love. It was an instant hit with her and with me. I was tempted that same day to go get one.
