The Best Summer Sale Roundup
Shopping the summer sales and selecting best of the best so you don't have to
Hi, it’s me, Sam! Hitting your inbox today to provide the real news you want-the ultimate guide to summer sales and the must-have items you should buy. I don’t just love to shop; I love to treasure hunt. I take immense pride in unearthing those hidden gems. The pieces that you didn’t even know were on sale or the last piece hidden in plain view. So, if you’re still reading, let’s get to it. The best summer sales and everything you should shop:
Saks Fifth Avenue - Up to 70% off
Saks is a powerhouse when it comes to luxury sales. First off, the amount of Zimmermann on sale is bonkers! I’ve had my eye on this skirt for months, and these pants are so perfect for a beach vacation overseas. I plan on pairing my white dresses with these fabulous Manolo Blahnik vinyl slides-also on deep discount.
Honorable Mentions Include:
This Blaze Milano sequin blazer that's a dead ringer for the one I wore to the Taylor Swift concert.
Khaite’s supple leather trench, still a splurge but undeniably luxurious
Nili Lotan is one of my first stops when searching the Saks sale. Thrilled to see this beautiful black tuxedo jacket in a full size range on major sale.
It feels a little early for these denim shorts to hit the sale section. A staple among most summer wardrobes, Agolde denim shorts are a must-have this summer.
Impossible to create a best-of shopping list without including my fave high-street retailer! I must admit, I own a scary number of J.Crew pieces because their collection is just that good. Stripes and sequins are my weakness, and they do them justice every time.
Honorable Mentions Include:
These jeans! I own these in white, but the denim is just as good.
The underrated collaboration that gave birth to a beautifully crafted, crisp button down—a must-have staple.
Speaking of button downs, I love this tuxedo style top.
An ultimate quiet luxury raffia handbag—a classic style without the giant logo (although I must confess, I love a good logo too).
My Theresa- Sale Section
My Theresa sale section is a treasure trove of goodies. Annoyingly, you have to hunt and scroll and filter for hours to land something really good. It isn’t the best sorting process IMO. Alas, these are my top finds among the mix.
Honorable Mentions:
The most beautiful sandals I’ve ever seen! Giambattista Valli designs jewelry for the feet. Stunning! These are stunning!
Wow, this Oscar de la Renta dress is no joke. For the person who needs a very special dress for a very special occasion!
Agua Bendita sarongs—they hold a special place in my summer closet. I waited years to buy one, and they're worth every penny. Luxurious and versatile, they pair perfectly with any swimsuit.
Anything Toteme. Oddly enough, My Theresa is one of the few retailers that takes markdowns on this very popular brand, but also retails product at a lower price point than competing retailers.
Do you see a pattern here? Mixing high street retailers with luxury retailers is exactly how I shop. Madewell is a mecca of hidden gems. Great denim, stylish tops and summery dresses make up this stylish assortment.
Honorable Mentions:
Kuddos to all the brands that hopped on the vest trend. This white vest sold out so fast but was quickly restocked thanks to some quick planning by the merch team. Limited sizes left!
Madewell Denim. That’s it. The denim is so good! I appreciate uniquely designed jeans, and that’s exactly what they do. I love these, these and these the most!
Why is this new arrival now on sale? Not sure, but it has great reviews and we can always add a crisp white dress to our wardrobes.
This $21 top is sitting in my cart in both colors.
Net-a-Porter keeps pull strings on my heart. It’s so hard for me to stay away from their carefully curated assortment of designer goods. Each season I create a long wish list of items, impatiently waiting for them to hit the sale section. Here are those items:
Honorable Mentions:
I saw this incredible coat at Bergdorf’s in the winter. It’s amazing. Can’t wait to own this for winter 2023!
Stripes have a hold on me. Style this Suzi Kondi bright stripe with high waisted denim shorts and cool dad sandals.
More Toteme! The brand is really that good. So luxe, so beautiful and so chic!
The outfit is cute, but this top would get so much mileage in my wardrobe. It can be worn into the fall season with wide leg jeans or black pants. Love!
And for ALL the sales you didn’t know about!
Over the years, I diligently subscribed to the mailing lists of numerous retailers, eagerly awaiting those sale alert emails. The July 4th sales are like the Superbowl of the sale season, offering incredible deals. So, savor this sale season, as it only graces us twice a year. Without further ado, I present to you a comprehensive list of sales that you didn't even know you needed to explore!
I follow you daily on IG and so glad to see you’re on substack !
Ps the link to the j crew jeans is broken but I suspect it’s the sailor ones you’ve worn before ?
