The seriously discounted deals you’ll want to add to your cart.
Just as good as stores’ post-holiday clearance sales in January, the early-July markdowns are ones you should be stalking if you’ve had your eye on something special in the shops. The key is not to buy something just because it’s ridiculously discounted, but to shop with intention and find wallet-friendly prices on beautifully made designer items that you’ll love forever, and have an actual need for in your wardrobe. Here’s what I have in my cart…may these finds inspire your own summer shopping spree!
Mansur Graviel Elegant Faille Mules, $142.50 USD (from $475 USD) at net-a-porter.com.
These delightfully minimal, guaranteed-comfy mules will take you from summer weddings to after-work cocktails in the fall.
Repetto Pink Nappa Cendrillon Ballerina Flats, $295 (from $355) at ssense.com.

It’s that time of the summer when the temperature and humidity are too high to wear anything but short, flowy dresses — just like this one.

These jeans are just the perfect combination of comfortable and interesting. Don’t be surprised if they become your new go-to pair.
Loren Stewart Pearl Diamond Topaz Ring, $257.92 (from $549) at jonathanandolivia.com.
