Bergdorf Goodman Designer Handbags Sale

Great news for recessionistas! It’s not too late to take advantage of the Bergdorf Goodman Designer Fashion Sale with savings of up to 40% off designer clothing and designer shoes as well as designer handbags, accessories, menswear and men’s shoes.

Last week, I shared some of my top picks from the designer clothing collections and the designer shoes collections. But today is all about designer handbags! This Bergdorf Goodman Designer Handbag Sale offers something for everyone with a great selection of standout pieces from Prada, Versace, Tory Burch, MARC by Marc Jacobs, Chloe, Kooba, Botkier, Tod’s, Jimmy Choo and more. And just as with the apparel collections and the designer shoes collections, this BG designer handbag sale has been extended to include new arrivals! So, if you want to instantly update your look without investing in a new head-to-toe ensemble, check out some of these fashionable finds! 

First on my wish list, Valentino serves up the ultimate alternative to basic Black with the stunning Histoire Frame Tote shown Here.

Valentino | Histoire Framed Tote | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale This Rasberry patent designer handbag is the perfect choice to complement the soft neutrals that come with Fall. It features Silvertone hardware, Black canvas lining, an interior zip pocket, and flap pockets on the front with a tab closure. I especially love the uber-chic braided shoulder straps with buckle detail and the signature Valentino logo plate on the side. As an added bonus, it features protective feet at the base and even includes a dust bag – always a nice touch! Made in Italy, this showstopper measures 13"H x 17 1/2"W x 6"D with a 5 1/2" drop. A true investment piece, this designer handbag was originally $2,395, but is now on sale for $1,605.

One of this season’s must-have accessories is the clutch and Gucci has made a spectacular one. The Hysteria Clutch shown below comes in Tortoise Shell print patent leather and features Goldtone hardware, a zip-top closure, side ties, an inside pocket, and Metal Gucci crest detail. Made in Italy, it measures 15.5"W x 8.7"H x 2.4"D. If it’s a luxe evening look that you’re after, this is the designer handbag for you! Originally $1,250, it has been marked down to $838 during this designer sale.

Gucci | Hysteria Clutch | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale If you’re a fan of rich textures like I am, you’ll want to check out the suede designer handbag by Jimmy Choo shown below. The Simone Suede Flap Hobo features Goldtone hardware and knotted leather top handles. But the piece de resistance is the fun enameled horseshoe accent on the flap top. After all, who can’t use a little good luck? Made in Italy, this Jimmy Choo designer handbag was originally priced at $1,995, but has been marked down to $1,337. Buy it now and you’ll be stepping stylishly into Fall!

Jimmy Choo | Simone Suede Flap Hobo | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale I’m also in love with the ultramodern silhouette of the Christian Louboutin Twisted Shoulder Tote shown below. Made in Italy of luxurious calfskin, it features a twisted shoulder strap and the distinguished openwork “Louboutin charm.” This elegantly structured tote is available in black or white. Originally, $1995, it has been reduced to $1337 as part of the BG designer handbag sale.

Christian Louboutin | Twisted Shoulder Tote | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | SaleAnother of my fave designer handbags is the Prada Tessuto + Vernice tote. This sumptuous handbag comes in Black as well as the regal Purple shown below. It has an elegant woven chain handle with patent leather and luggage tag detailing. I especially love the pleated bottom which adds an extra opulence. This gorgeous Prada designer handbag measures 15"H x 16 1/2"W x 7 4/5"D, and was originally priced at $1350.  It is now on sale at Bergies for $905. I want it!

Prada | Tessuto + Vernice Tote | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale Also from Prada, the eye-popping Naplak Bowler puts a playful punch on a classic design. Available in the brilliant Yellow shown below or an equally fabulous Fuschia, this designer handbag is guaranteed to liven up any look. Made of patent calf leather, it features double top handles, an inside zip pocket and a luggage tag accent. The Yellow version of this designer handbag features a Silver tone zip top, while the Fuschia version has a Gold tone. Crafted in Italy, it measures 11 1/4"H x 17"W x 6"D. This Prada standout piece was originally priced at $1,695, but has been marked down as part of the BG designer handbag sale to $1,136.

Prada | Naplak Bowler | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale At the other end of the price spectrum, MARC by Marc Jacobs offers a fun but fashionable tote that won’t break the bank. The Tote-ally Patent Tote shown below is available in either Black or Talc patent leather. It features Silvertone hardware, top handles and a turn-lock closure. Originally $295, this designer handbag is now on sale for $207.

Marc By Marc Jacobs | Tote-ally Patent Tote | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale Finally, the black leather Bottega Veneta origami tote, shown below is a true stunner. At a sale price of $1,778, it’s not for the faint of heart. However, it’s still a sizable discount from the original price of $3,950. The origami detail gives this piece extraordinary elegance. If you can spare the expense, it’s the kind of designer handbag that you’ll have for a lifetime.

Bottega Veneta | Origami Tote | Bergdorf Goodman | Designer | Fashion | Women's | Chic | Handbags | Sale So, if you’re in the market for some high-end designer clothing, shoes and handbags, you may want to check out the current Bergdorf Goodman Designer Fashion Sale.

Bergdorf Goodman Designer Shoe Sale

Attention shoe lovers!!! The Bergdorf Goodman Designer Fashion Sale continues this week with savings of up to 40% off on chic designer clothing and designer shoes as well as designer handbags, jewelry accessories, and menswear and men’s shoes.

Last week, I shared some of my top picks from the apparel collections. But today is all about designer shoes! This Bergdorf Goodman Designer Shoe Sale offers an incredible selection of desirable finds from designer labels such as Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman and more. And, just as with the apparel collections, this BG designer shoe sale has been extended to include new arrivals! With such an exquisite selection of designer creations to choose from, you’ll no doubt find it difficult to narrow down your top picks. (I know I did!) But here are a few that are definitely worth a look:

Firstly for the more daring fashionistas, Bergdorf Goodman offers this super chic Jimmy Choo Patent Multi-Buckle Sandal. In Gray iridescent patent leather and Goldtone hardware, this sandal features a strappy upper with buckled straps and a 4 1/2" covered heel. Made in Italy, this classy and sexy statement sandal was originally priced at $750 but now on sale at just $338. I just love it!

Jimmy Choo | Patent Multi-Buckle Sandal | Bergdorf Goodman | Women's | Chic | Designer | Fashion | Shoes | Sale

I’ve always been a huge fan of the d’Orsay style pump, but this Christian Loubouton design has brought my adoration to new heights. The Triclo Crisscross d'Orsay shown below features a crescent toe and a 3 9/10” covered heel. However, it’s the spectacular crisscross straps that give this designer shoe its sexy sophistication. Crafted in Italy, it is available in Red or Black patent leather and features the signature Christian Louboutin Red sole. Originally $795, it has been marked down by Bergies and on sale now at $533. I want it!

Christian Louboutin | Triclo Crisscross d'Orsay | Bergdorf Goodman | Women's | Chic | Designer | Fashion | Shoes | Sale

Another of my faves from the BG designer shoe sale is the Cage d’Orsay from Jimmy Choo shown below. This beautifully crafted designer shoe is a sultry interpretation of the classic d’Orsay pump. I absolutely love the cutout detail. Combined with the ultra-feminine peep-toe, the Cage d’Orsay, is a true standout. Best of all, this designer shoe is one of those coveted multi-taskers that translates effortlessly from day to night – classic enough for the office but alluring enough for a night on the town. Made in Italy of Black kid leather, it features a 3 1/3” covered heel.

Jimmy Choo | Cage d'Orsay | Bergdorf Goodman | Women's | Chic | Designer | Fashion | Shoes | Sale

Originally $640, it has been reduced to $429. Given its high quality and versatility, I’m sure that I could easily wear this designer shoe more than 429 times in my lifetime. That’s less than a dollar per wear! Who can pass up a deal like that, my fellow fashionistas? ;-)

Look up “fabulous” in the dictionary and you should find a photo of the high-wattage Yves Saint Laurent studded platform designer sandal shown below. This showstopper features Gold-tone hardware, buckle detail at the inner ankle and stud detail on the vamp. It has a 4” covered stiletto heel. In addition to the Fuschia version shown here, it is also available in Black patent leather. Made in Italy, this statement shoe was originally $795, but now reduced to $533 during this Designer Sale. I think I would wear it with almost anything just for the sheer fabulousness of it!

Yves Saint Laurent | YSL | Studded Platform Sandal | Bergdorf Goodman | Women's | Chic | Designer | Fashion | Shoes | Sale

I’m completely in love with this stunning Sedarby Jeweled d’Orsay by Manolo Blahnik. One of the newest arrivals to the BG designer shoe sale, this multi-green d’Orsay style pump, shown below is made of sumptuous nappa leather and features a pleated vamp with opulent jewel detail. Made in Italy, it has a 3 1/2" covered heel. Originally $715, this standout shoe is now on sale for $479. Buy it now and turn heads for years to come. It’s definitely on my wish list!

Manolo Blahnik | Jeweled d'Orsay | Bergdorf Goodman | Women's | Chic | Designer | Fashion | Shoes | Sale

Also from Manolo Blahnik comes the Boflat metallic thong sandal shown below. Intricately adorned with Turquoise and coral-hued stones, this rich Bronze sandal exudes a seductive tropical vibe. As an added bonus, it has a flat heel and an elastic strap over the instep, both of which make it a comfortable choice for backyard gatherings on hot summer days; after all, who wants to find themselves with a stiletto heel suddenly stuck in the grass! Crafted in Italy from the highest quality nappa leather, it was originally priced at $815, but now on sale reduced down to $546. This designer sandal would look stunning with shorts, capris or, for a more romantic boho look, with a soft, flowing skirt.

Manolo Blahnik | Metallic Thong Sandal | Bergdorf Goodman | Women's | Chic | Designer | Fashion | Shoes | Sale

So, if a new pair (or two) of luxury label designer shoes is at the top of your wish list right now, you may want to take advantage of the 500 discounted designer shoes included in the current Bergdorf Goodman Designer Sale. You’ll want to act quickly though because these high-end designer shoes are going FAST!

In my next post, I’ll share some of my picks from the designer handbags included in Bergies Designer Sale. Until then!

Bergdorf Goodman Designer Clothing Sale

Style-seekers rejoice! Bergdorf Goodman is offering a lesson in chic-onomics with a huge Designer Fashion Sale with savings as much as 40% off original prices. Save BIG on designer clothing and designer shoes as well as designer handbags, jewelry, menswear and men’s shoes. Best of all, this BG mega-sale has been extended to include new arrivals! Having spent some time in the apparel collection here are some of my top picks for luxury-loving recessionistas.

In this BG sale, you’ll find ready-to-wear designer clothes including tops, jackets and pants from luxury designer labels such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, and Alexander McQueen. You’ll also find big markdowns on designer jeans and shorts from J. Brand, Paige Premium Denim, Juicy Couture, Tory Burch, William Rast and Rag & Bone, to name just a few!

For pure comfort and ease, it’s hard to beat a summer dress. And Bergdorf has some spectacular ones. Designer dresses from Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Donna Karen, Roberto Cavalli, Rachel Roy, Fendi, Emilio Pucci and more can all be found at discounted prices.

One of my favorites is the stunning Doo. Ri ombre dress shown below. This pure silk designer dress is plum with multicolor ombre, a scoop neckline, pleated front and a tonal tie at the waist. Originally priced at $1,195, this designer dress is on sale reduced to $717. It’s stunning, elegant and just gorgeous! I want it!

Doo. Ri | Ombre Dress | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

One of the most buzz worthy looks right now is the built-in necklace dress. While stars like Eva Longoria Parker, Anne Hathaway and Drew Barrymore have been sporting glam versions of the trend on the red carpet, you don’t need to be a Hollywood A-lister to enjoy this super-chic look. I like the boho feel of the Milly water-stripe dress shown below.

Milly Water Stripe Dress | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

The intricate gold, white and turquoise beaded necklace detailing makes this pure silk designer dress a true stand-out, while the side seam pockets add a casual ease. Made in the USA of Italian material, it was originally priced at $435, but is now on sale at Bergies for $261.

The 4th of July is just around the corner, so why not show your all-American pride with some red, white and blue? One of my favorite looks from this BG sale is the Dolce & Gabbana beaded tank and ruffle skirt shown below.

D&G | Dolce & Gabbana | Beaded Tank & Ruffle Skirt | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

This gorgeous red tank is made of mercerized cotton and features pearl-bead detail at its gathered neckline. At the back, a criss-cross bow adds an element of surprise. A true multi-tasker, it would work under a tailored suit at the office or on its own with anything from jeans to tuxedo pants. It has a back closure and is now on sale for $177, down from its original price of $295.

Bringing a flirtatious touch to the look, the accompanying D&G ruffle skirt features a red, white and navy abstract print. Made of cotton with a pleated front, it has a ruffled silk hem. Like the D&G red tank, it is imported and dry clean only. Originally priced at $335, it’s on sale reduced down to $201. Don’t the Dolce & Gabbana red tank and the D&G ruffle skirt pair up so nicely for that super-chic look.

If you want to raise the glamour quotient in red, white and blue this Independence Day, then look no further than the Michael Kors designer dress shown below. Who needs fireworks when you can set off sparks of your own in this striking, color-block sheath? Red and navy, it has a white patent leather belt with white stud detail at the natural waist. Made in Italy of wool / spandex, it was originally $1,995, but is now on sale during the Bergdorf Goodman Designer Fashion Sale for $1,197.

Michael Kors | Colorblock Sheath Dress | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale Year after year, one of my go-to summer looks is a stylish halter. And one of the most covet-worthy this summer comes from Diane von Furstenberg. The famed designer’s bamboo halter scarf features a multicolor abstract print. It is available in both red and lilac shown below. Made in Italy of pure silk, it was originally $215 but is now on sale at BG for $140. DVF, I love it!

Diane von Furstenberg | DVF | Bamboo Halter Scarf | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

The asymmetric look has never been hotter. The trend has been seen on everyone from celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe to First Lady Michelle Obama who opted for the now-famous Jason Wu single-shoulder gown at this year’s inaugural galas. For anyone looking to try out the one-shoulder look, BG offers plenty of designer choices.

And now for that special night out, the Stella McCartney asymmetric dress, shown below, is an elegant option that would be hard to pass. This marine blue design is satin with gathered bow detail at the shoulder. The soft silhouette is also flattering to all figure types. Made in Italy, it was originally $1,395 and is now marked down to $837. Buy it now and wear it on the festive party circuit this holiday season.

Stella McCartney | Asymmetric Dress | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale 

For a more casual and affordable version of the asymmetric trend, I like the Roberto Rodriguez lemoncello tee, shown below. This cotton / spandex t-shirt has a high-fashion feel thanks to its stylish dolman sleeves and bow detailing at the shoulder. Originally $231, it’s on sale now marked down to $150.

Robert Rodriguez | Asymmetric Tee & Sequin Skirt | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale One of the biggest fashion stories this year has been the return of the jumpsuit. Stella McCartney takes on the trend with the voluminous black silk version shown below. There’s nothing conservative about this backless, wide-legged design, so be prepared to turn some heads! Made in Italy, it has a halter neckline and is on sale at Bergies for $897, down from the original price of $1,495.

Stella McCartney | Halter Charmeuse Jumpsuit | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale Also from Stella McCartney, the jersey top shown below exudes an unexpected elegance. With its sweetheart mesh neckline, this designer piece represents sexy sophistication at its best. It features a darted seam and is made in Italy of viscose / polyamide / elastane. A true multi-tasker, this top would work under a blazer or by itself with a pair of skinny jeans or wide-legged pants. Originally $665, it has been reduced to $399.

Stella McCartney | Jersey Top | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

One of the hottest trends this season is the boyfriend look and there’s a number of pieces in BG’s apparel sale collections that you can choose from. For example, Stella McCartney offers a sophisticated take on this trend with the ice pink boyfriend shirt shown below.

Stella McCartney | Boyfriend Shirt | Bergdorf Goodman | Women's | Designer | Fashion | Sale

Silver Lurex® stripe detail and slit cuffs lend added interest to the classic button-front design while the sheer fabric gives it a decidedly feminine air. Wear it with a silky cami underneath to channel the “boudoir” look that is all over the runways this year. Imported and made of silk / polyester, this designer shirt features a spread collar. Originally priced at $845, this chic Stella McCartney shirt is now on sale at BG for $507.

For a  more casual interpretation of the boyfriend trend check out Helmut Lang’s indigo boyfriend jeans. This of-the-moment look, shown below, features roll-up cuffs and a button fly. Made in the USA, the cotton / elastane blend gives these jeans a lightweight feel.

Helmut Lang | Boyfriend Jeans | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

The relaxed cut also makes them appropriate for everything from an office barbecue to a boardwalk stroll. Originally priced at $285, they’re on sale now for $185. Dress them up with a sequined top or go for effortless chic by pairing them with a basic tee.

From Elizabeth and James, the designer line by style icons Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, I love the ruched bust and empire waist on the black cotton cabana designer dress shown below. While it exudes an air of playful innocence from the front, the daring cutout back gives this dress an unexpected “wow” factor -- perfect for anyone who wants to make a dramatic exit. Originally $345, it is on sale at BG for $173.

Elizabeth and James | Short Cabana Dress | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

Finally, no fashion post would be complete without mention of one of this year’s most polarizing trends. Love it or hate it, the harem pant is definitely back. Lately, it’s been seen on celebs from Jennifer Hudson to Angie Harmon and Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. Don’t worry though: The Robert Rodriguez version shown below is far removed from MC Hammer’s famous gold lame style statement of the 90s.

Robert Rodriguez | Ruffled Blouse & Harem Pants | Bergdorf Goodman | Womens | Designer | Fashion | Sale

This modern interpretation of the look is made of polyester / spandex and features a tie-belt at the natural waist, side slash pockets, gathered cropped legs, and a pleated front. Originally $297, this hot designer look is on sale marked down to $178.

So, if you’re in the market for some high-end designer clothing, shoes and handbags, you may want to take advantage of the current Bergdorf Goodman Designer Fashion Sale. You’ll want to act quickly though because these lust-worthy pieces are sure to sell out fast. Some of the finds will still put a dent in your pocketbook, but the high quality of the BG luxury labels means that you should be able to enjoy them for years to come!

In the next few days I’ll report back on my picks of designer shoes and handbags included in Bergdorf Goodman’s Designer Sale. Ciao.

TheOutnet – Online Designer Sales Fashion Boutique by Net-A-Porter

Chic-onomics Exclusive Designer Outlet!

Fashionistas! Do you need a new shopping experience? Somewhere to buy chic essentials and those love forever lust-haves? If so then this ultimate chic designer discount shopping boutique might just be perfect for you.

Jimmy Choo | Maxine shoulder bag | Designer | HandbagS | TheOutnet.com | Sale

Announced earlier this year, the new online fashion boutique, TheOutnet.com, designed by the team behind the designer fashion site NET-A-Porter.com is now well and truly up and running and I thought that I would check it out here.

This online designer sales fashion boutique is devoted to selling discounted designer womenswear and accessories. It's an exclusive online boutique where you can purchase designer clothing (Christian Lacroix, Zac Posen, Vera Wang Lavender and many more) and designer shoes (Christian Louboutin, Marc Jacobs, Jimmy Choo…), as well as designer handbags (Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Marni. Miu Miu…) and other accessories (Isharya, Kenneth Jay Lane, Bottega Veneta….) at heavily discounted prices – between 40% to 80% off the original price on international designer brands and fantastic savings of up to 80% off on specially selected items. TheOutnet stocks a dazzling array of designer fashions and will guarantee authenticity with each and every item sold on the site.

Hey don’t you just love the Jimmy Choo, Maxine shoulder bag shown in the picture above and these Christian Louboutin C'est Moi shoe boots!!

Christian Louboutin | C'est Moi shoe boots | Designer Shoes | TheOutnet.com | Sale 

Flash Designer Sales

TheOutnet.com promises to be different and some features that go towards achieving this are what it calls exclusive Flash Designer Sales aimed at keeping things interesting for the true fashion thrill-seeker. These are time-limited Pop-Up Sales, Giveaways and what it calls, Going, Going, Gone Sales that will give the fashionista that 'get it before it goes' buzz.

Pop-Up Designer Sales

The Pop-Up Sale host themed designer sales (e.g. by brand) that are available for a limited time, usually up to 72 hours.

Going, Going, Gone Designer Sales

The Going, Going, Gone Sale is a new and unique way for you to snap up a designer label at an irresistible price. These sales only run for a very short amount of time. I say unique because each Going, Going, Gone Sale will begin at the featured designer item's original price and then the price will drop continuously until the stock sells out or the sale ends (as indicated by a timer); watch the price drop as the clock ticks, but hurry or you may miss out. As soon as you click 'Add to Bag' this will lock in the price so if you shop too early then you could miss out on a super-low price for that designer item. So in effect you choose the price that you want to pay for that item. Of course, if you leave it too late you might miss out as there may be no more stock left.

To give you some idea on the type of items that will be included in the Going, Going, Gone Sales, this gorgeous Kerala shoulder designer handbag by Chloe went up for grabs with a starting price of £666.00 for UK fashionistas and closed about an hour ago at the knockout price of £330.85!!!

Chloe | Kerala shoulder bag | TheOutnet.com | Women's Designer Handbag | Sale

This Chloe Chocolate (Brown) leather slouchy shoulder bag has brass hardware and two straps at top, a flap across top with clasp fastening, feet on base, horseshoe charms and cotton lining.

Designer Giveaways

TheOutnet will also be offering fabulous Giveaways where you'll have the chance to win the chicest prizes - with absolutely no purchase necessary.

So what do I think about this new Designer Sales Outlet!

Overall I think that TheOutnet.com designer sales online boutique is a great concept and should certainly give the NET-A-PORTER competition something to think about. The list of international designers is impressive but what would you expect from NET-A-PORTER. The site looks great too however there are a few annoying navigational aspects to it.

Also, take note that  there are different sale items depending on your location. For example, while in the UK the item that was just sold in the Going, Going, Gone Sale was the Chloe Kerala shoulder bag as pictured above and with an original price of £666, in the United States the item in the Going, Going, Gone Sale with now less than an hour of clock ticks left to go, is a Prune glossy leather Chloe Saskia small tote with an original price of $1,900.

Chloe | Saskia small tote | TheOutnet.com | Women's Designer Handbag | Sale

So, fashionistas, the only thing we love more than a bargain is a designer bargain hey so you must check out TheOutnet.com. There’s a good lineup of chic essentials and those love forever lust-haves.

My first pick shown in the picture above, is the gorgeous Tiered Dress in Blush by fashion designer Betsey Johnson. This adjustable spaghetti strap chiffon mini has a crossed over front which gathers on the left side of the dress and darted seems on the bust which add a more flattering fit. It's detailed with two corsages to add a flirtatious touch.

This adorable and stunning chiffon mini dress is normally priced at $380 however with the 75% discount during this one day designer clothing sale you'll get it at only $95. It's just gorgeous and would be perfect for a cocktail party or similar dress-up function. A close-up view of this dress showing off its details is shown in the image below.

In particular, I like the Embroidered Ruffle Dress in Straw which normal sells at $502 so at the 75% sale discount, is yours for only $125.50!!! This designer dress by Catherine Malandrino is just gorgeous.
