The Sales

Picture_24
So historically we’ve been very suspicious about sales in general, and online sales in particular, but we are praying you saw the Hautelook 90% sale that we apparently and literally slept through, because we hope someone we know got the Foley and Corinna bags for $54, or the James Perse tank for $4. $4! It’s mostly too late for that one, but the Rue La La sale started about 15 minutes ago, though it’s not as good as the Hautelook sale. We remember the days when we didn’t turn our collective noses up at 50% off. They are a long time ago now.

Anyhoo: We’d love to hear about the deals everyone’s getting. We will only say that we now own a $60 Diptyque candle for much much less than $60. (About $40 less.) Tragically, it is the Muguet fragrance, which we now know smells more like "candle" than "lilies of the valley." And a J. Crew sweatshirt for $16, which was possibly the least glamorous purchase we could have made in the store. Eh, J. Crew, you know what you’re getting.

If anyone would like an invitation to Rue La La or Hautelook—we’re sure there’s some good MBA-style reason why these sites need to be invite-only, but we do not understand it yet—email us asap!

  1. Basic Boutique (online) – which I learned about here, has some great markdowns as well!
    Happy New Year Bunnies!

  2. RevolveClothing.com coupon on checkout: NOTCOTLOVESREVOLVE
    But I think it expires today.
    Happy new year, everyone!

  3. There is a reason they have to be invite-only, & it’s an odd one, though it makes perfect sense.
    It’s to prevent search engines from picking up the sales, thus protecting the brands that work through the sale sites.

  4. I think the registration thing is because they want your email so they can send out new email announcements when bug you about new brands every morning.
