Saks Sale!

Good things come to those who wait. I told you I was holding out for a good sale and now that the retailers are not doing so hot this quarter, they have a lot of good discounts. Helping the economy and getting good bargains in the process, what could be better? I pulled up a few things that I noticed that were full price yesterday, but as of this morning are a sweet deal.

Tod's Softy Shopping Tote Media

Was $1,800.00; now on sale for $1,260.00.

Anya Hindmarch Calf Leather Shoulder Bag

Was $1,235.00, now on sale for $864.50.

Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Box Clutch

Was $750.00, now for sale $525.00.

Salvatore Ferragamo Origami Single Frame Satchel

This bag was from last season, I loved it then and I love it now. It is lady-like, but has the frills without overdoing it. Classy, but different in a good way. I am surprised that they still have this bag available online, but who am I to question? Buy through Saks for $2,650.

LAI North Star Tote in Blue Ostrich

I’m in the midst of packing for my vacation and I couldn’t resist checking out bags this morning. Multitask-er is a good description of me. Some people can call it ADD, but it’s more like a gift. But aren’t you glad I did! This gorgeous exotic blue tote must be mine! Mine Mine Mine! It comes in olive green too, but I’m all about the blues in my own wardrobe. Buy through Lux Couture for $2,300.

Bluefly Designer Handbag Picks

I love Bluefly. Maybe because everything they offer is on sale which is why I flitter over there. I hate paying retail unless absolutely necessary. Today I have taken it upon myself to show some of their offerings that I am finding delicious!

Yves Saint Laurent black quilted patent 'Catwalk' shoulder bag

Top Ten Women’s Wallets

I wrote about my favorite men’s wallets with very specific parameters in mind. I have the same needs for a woman’s wallet. I am talking about an everyday wallet. One that needs to be able to switch out with *most* of your handbags. Easy, classy, and functional. I know some women do not like the large continental shapes, but I love them. When they are not overstuffed, but fit all of your necessities, it looks very elegant when you are at the Walmart cashier buying your weeks worth of groceries. Seriously though, women need to have something that makes them feel like a princess! So here are my solutions:

Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Porte-Tresor International with Ten Slots

Buy through eLuxury for $660.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Etoile Sarah Wallet

Buy through eLuxury for $895.

Yves Saint Laurent Belle de Jour Continental Wallet

Buy through Saks for $445.

Yves Saint Laurent Quilted Zip-Around Wallet

Buy through Saks for $795.

Yves Saint Laurent YMail Zip Around Wallet

Buy through Saks for $545.

NOCE/MORO PITONE CERATO CONTINENTAL WALLET

Buy through Bottega Veneta for $920.

MAPLE INTRECCIATO NAPPA TAB WALLET

Buy through Bottega Veneta for $600.

Diane von Furstenberg Wrap Bag in Purple

The queen of the wrap dress has applied that timeless design to her handbags. I must say the look thrills me. It’s elegant but not pompous. Comfortable and casual looking, but still classy. DvF can do no wrong! Plus, did you notice? It’s purple! My favorite Fall color that goes all year round. I can see this popping with whatever you’re wearing and giving an extra oomph. Buy through Diane von Furstenberg for $900.

Jalda Python Julie Clutch

Okay, now I’m really in love. I’ve been really needing a clutch. I love Jalda, I love Luna Boston, and I love exotics. Luna Boston is carrying Jalda now and they have the most gorgeous snakeskin clutch! It’s perfect. It’s edgy but classy, and I am drooling! For the same price I could get a Louis Vuitton Multicolor Pochette that I’ve been thinking about, but can you really compare the two? This is an exotic! Available in black, fuschia, and natural, buy through Luna Boston for $595. I’m totally craving the natural.

3.1 Phillip Lim Tally Oversized Carry-All

I love it! Mildly distressed lambskin leather, this would make an excellent work bag. For a high-end designer product, the price shocked me because it is so reasonable. What’s not to love? The different carrying options, which is almost a staple with a lot of my bags is a plus and doesn’t it look so soft, so luxe! I want, I want. Buy through Eluxury for $725.

Rebecca Minkoff Exclusive Morning After Mini Bag

This Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini Bag in Cobalt is an exclusive of Luna Boston. Luna Boston is a brick and mortar store right off Newbury Street in Boston, but they also have a great website offering all of their designers as well as free shipping over $100 and free returns. How are they carrying Rebecca Minkoff exclusives you wonder? They get to choose leathers and colors that Rebecca Minkoff has come across in her travels but that she couldn’t fit into her editorial “story” for the season. So, it makes me happy when I find that they are carrying an exclusive blue RM bag that I have been craving, but cannot find anywhere else. You can pre-order through Luna Boston for $550.
