As you sit there sipping your afternoon tea, daydreaming about your summer vacation plans I’m sure the thought is somewhere in the back of your mind – “do I have everything?” Well don’t worry, Net-A-Porter has you covered. Happening now over at NAP it’s the end of the season sale, save up to 50% off on last seasons items (67 pages!). It’s the perfect time to pick up a couple last minute items, like sundresses, swimsuits, coverups, sandals, summer bags and even towels (by Pucci).
Net-a-Porter isn’t the only designer boutique trying to get rid of last seasons bags by slashing prices in the neighborhood of 40% off retail. Over at My Theresa they just added a bunch of items by Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs (and Marc by Marc Jacobs), Yves Saint Laurent, Chloe, and more to the sale section – which includes more than just bags – accessories, designer shoes and clothing are on sale!
Gotta love the amazing post-holiday sales!

The minute I saw these bags, I knew I would have to write about them before I did anything else! During an otherwise mundane shopping trip with my daughter and finding only a few standout items, I ran across this brilliantly colored display of bags by Ted Baker! We all know Ted Baker for his beautifully tailored men’s and women’s clothing. His foray into accessories has been limited. But, I am so glad he is venturing into the category.
Pretty pink, purple, green, beige, and red greeted me as I walked down the aisle. The stunningly brilliant colors are enhanced by the PVC “patent leather” of these bags. A structured shape give the candy colored bags a more sophisticated style. Simple block lettering logo on the front in gold is just the right touch over the exterior zippered compartment. Large double handled style also works on the shoulder with a 6″ – 9″ drop.
There is a tremendous amount of storage in this bag as well with its 13″ x 9″ x 6″ size. Both sides of the bag have zippered compartments allowing them to completely open up. The large interior compartment is lined in a pretty floral. Hardware on the bag is a pretty silve-rtone for just the right accents.
For you bag enthusiasts you’re probably saying to your computer screen – “hey isn’t that B. Romanek?” No misprint. The clutch is called the Wrap Crocodile by Juliette Jake. The basic wrap around crocodile tail design is the one single similarity that the Juliette Jake Wrap and B. Romanek Rockstar share, but huge difference is the price!
This is the sample sale news of the day. Looks like the rumors were true, The not-so-popular Top Secret sample sale boutique has died off and Beyond the Rack is taking what’s left: the people and promise for luxury items like Gucci, Marc Jaocbs, Prada and more for up to 70% off.
Steve Dumain, the Creative Director behind Be & D has been working on a little secret handbag project that’s about to make it’s big national debut, tomorrow on QVC!
The new Line, called Roccatella isn’t a sister or secondary line to Be & D, but an entirely new collection.
Today is the last day to save 25% off over at StefaniBags.
Above are my favorite picks: CC Skye Nika in lace leather, Rebecca Minkoff Boyfriend in peach wash, Botkier Venice satchel in naked lambskin, and the Treesje Jovi in purple-licious viola!
The sale applies to everything online. And when I say everything, I mean everything. There are no exclusions. Well except for the obvious, no adjustments on previously purchased stuff.
