Shopping for Men

My recent shopping exploits, limited as they may be, have focused almost exclusively on man goods. Last week I scored some Vilebrequin at Gilt. (They have epic online sample sales. If you'd like an invite, just click here.) Some very St. Tropez trunks and a baby blue linen shirt for $225.--less than half what you'd pay at Saks or 16sur20. Not cheap, but what a value.

This week I indulged at Grapevinehill.com, which is one of my favorite sites for deals on men's shoes. I picked up a pair of loafers by Ralph Lauren (rumored to be made by Crockett and Jones!) for $228. Not bad, considering they retail for $695.



Disclaimer: These are not the loafers I purchased--mine were tassle-free, in black leather. I guess they sold out of them.

Which leads me to the purpose of this post: You too can snag a deal on Ralph Lauren or Moreschi (another fave) and a handful of other luxury names at Grapevine Hill for 30-60% off. But wait, do it before June 4th, and use code MOVE, and get AN ADDITIONAL 25% OFF!



Enjoy! Gotta go make dinner now. Brown rice pasta from Trader Joe's. Again.

Shoes on Sale!

Seems fitting this post should follow Carrie Bradshaw...and a flaccid economy. In any event, a couple of luxury retailers are having shoe sales: Bergdorf Goodman has a small selection of Dolce, Stella, Tod's and more discounted 30%. Foot Candy (yes, please!) just announced their Fall Sale, with 30% off Manolo, Jimmy Choo, Casadei and more. Saks has a lineup that includes Chloe, Brian Atwood, Marc Jacobs, Ferragamo and more at up to 40% off.

If you checked the toutie forums daily, you'd already know this. I'm just sayin'...

Now, here's some shoe porn:
