Style | Marshall's Tribeca Luxury Merchandise **Updated**

My computer broke and I have been without a computer for two weeks, which is why I have not been posting. Now I'm back and hope to get back on track! I work close to the Marshall's in Tribeca (see my original rundown of this Marshall's location in my post about their grand opening here). I popped on by today to find an inexpensive pair of sandals but of course I wanted to check out their luxury goods. As always, I'm the perpetual window shopper (browsing but never buying). Here is what I found if you are interested and in the area:

Gucci Medium Lady Bag - it's really cute and is also a great size! I believe this was $1500, which is a good price considering the original is $2410. If you are interested in this bag you can purchase it here as well.  

Balenciaga "Metallic Edge" City Bag - $1500, this appears to be a smaller version than the one I wrote about originally a few weeks back

 Fendi Men's Nylon Monster Backpack for $1500 although I think this is cool enough to be unisex (the front pouch opens up to be a red mouth)! This one is originally $1900, you can purchase a very similar looking on at Saks, minus the metal eyes here. 

MCM Men's "Viestos" Backpack for $600. Sorry for the ugly picture! Decent discount from the $790 that you would have to pay here at Nordstrom. I also saw a few Alexander McQueen Men's cameo print backpacks but didn't snag a picture.

Thanks for stopping by! Have you found anything good at Marshall's or T.J.Maxx lately? 

Style | Kendall + Kylie Sample Sale Recap

I went to the Kendall + Kylie Sample Sale hosted by Clothingline at 121 Prince Street this past Sunday. There wasn't much coverage on other sample sale websites, so I was curious to check it out. It was the last day of the sale and I had read on the Clothingline Instagram that there would be additional markdowns (see price list below). I was curious to see if there would be any sunglasses left, which there weren't. However there was a lot of merchandise left in all sizes - lots of nice sweaters (fabric was good) but they were cropped, which isn't a style I find flattering on myself. Most of the items appeared to be from their past season and for those of you not in NYC, you didn't miss much - most of the items being sold at the sale could also be found on sale here at Nordstrom Rack.

I found this really pretty white dress but it was not in my size, so I had to leave it. It flares out slightly at the bottom, which I thought was darling.

Also found this top, which I thought would be good for going out on a date night, for $25, which is a far cry from the original retail price of $98. The fabric was thinner than I expected (one layer, very thin cotton), so I decided to pass on that too. If you are interested, this particular top is on sale at Nordstrom Rack for $50.

Overall, I didn't have a pleasant experience at the sale, the staff were rude, one of them kicked my leg as I was browsing. She barreled on through to put something back onto the floor, like a charging bull at a red cape...I left after about 15 minutes... 

Despite all the controversy over the Kardashians, I actually think Kendall and Kylie are very stylish when it comes to their clothing line. I like their use of black clothing, geometric angular cuts, color block, lines, etc. in their clothing line which is sold at ShopBop, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Nordstrom. I really am a fan of the following items from their newest range:

Style | Marshalls Tribeca Opening - Gucci, Givenchy, Valentino, Ferragamo, Saint Laurent, Chloe, & Christian Louboutin Finds!

Fashion post! Sorry about not getting this up on Friday as I had been planning. I'm not sure my Friday posting schedule will work, I may have to change things around so bear with me while I figure it out.

Marshalls opened in Tribeca recently at 206 Washington Street. I am a die hard TJMaxx fan (TJMaxx owns Marshalls as well) so I went there on Friday (three days ago). WARNING: It took me over an hour to find this location and I almost gave up - the Google Maps listing is incorrect. If you want to go check out this location, you should search for 140 West Street as the address in Google instead of 206 Washington Street. If you are not between Barclay and Vesey Streets you are in the wrong place. Technically it's on Washington Street but Washington Street is hard to find given it is a bisected north/south street.

This location has a lot of designer items, which surprised me. Even though I am cash-strapped student, I like to window shop the selection. One day I'm going to get my first designer bag and maybe someone else might find this useful! Check out my pics below (apologies for the watermarks, I know they are ugly - I just don't want the pictures used by unscrupulous eBay / online sellers to trick anyone). My guess is that the store is going to have a lot of designer items for the grand opening and the stock will gradually wean down. Great prices though! I almost got the navy Givenchy below but refrained as my dream is to get it in black. I also saw a classic size Balenciaga "Metallic Edge" City Bag in gold hardware with black leather for $1800 but didn't snag a picture. See here for other similar options.

Mini size Givenchy Antigona in Blue for $1300. It looks like there is a scratch in the picture. This is a great price because it typically retails from $1750-$1790! This bag is HEAVY. I know I want the small size, but the fact that this mini size is already so heavy while empty makes me think twice.

Saint Laurent - I believe this is the Croc de Jour style in a size large (although it could also be the small size as I am not very familiar with this brand. I know however that it definitely is not the nano nor is it the baby size.) It was priced at $2000.

This Gucci Marmont was priced as $1500 and it normally retails $1800+. 

This bag is Christian Louboutin - I wasn't aware that CL made handbags. This pretty little crossbody was $1800. You can see below it in the picture that there is a Gucci mini wallet type thing.

More bags and shoes are pictured below!

Deals | Post-Holiday Make-up and Beauty Deal Roundup

Double post day! January is a great time to purchase some make-up, beauty and bath products that have gone on sale after the holidays. Granted they are often festively branded, but you definitely can find some great non-festively branded items at sales like these. I  like to stock up on gifts at this time because we all have those friends who we like enough to get a gift but don't like enough to pay an arm and a leg for...am I right or am I right? ;)

Zoya: get 4 lipsticks or 4 nail polishes for FREE using code TRY4FREE at checkout, however, you will have to pay for shipping, which is $15. This lasts 1/9 through 1/16/17 (11:59 pm EST). I've did a similar promotion last year (this is a yearly New Year's promotion) and it's worked out great. This is a great promotion because their nail polishes are often $9+. They also have amazing colors, love the neutrals, limited chemicals, and the polish doesn't chip.

The Bodyshop: up to 75% off sale + free shipping on any order; they have a lot of great gift sets still left - love Argan oil products and then even have this set for $15.50 down from $31. They also have lipstick, fragrances, body scrubs, ree

Nordstrom: up to 50% off select beauty products. The product selection is limited and I mean limited. There is, however, the Bobbi Brown Beauty Book  Eye, Cheek & Lip Palette, which is a collection of some of Bobbi's best products for $71.25 down from $95.

Will update with more deals as I see them. 

Deal Alert | Kate Somerville Friends & Family Sale Take 25% Off + Free Shipping - Ends Tonight!

I'm still trying to keep up my Saturday posting schedule, so there will be a post this weekend as well in addition to this one mid-week. 

Kate Somerville's EradiKate Acne Spot Treatment is one of the best over-the-counter spot treatment that I've ever tried. Way, I mean way better than the Ciracle Red Spot Cream, which you can read about my disappointing experience with that product here. I am planning on comparing Kate Somerville's product to the Mario Badeascu Drying Lotion before I post a detail review of both products. The EradiKate product is more expensive by about $8 (depending on where you buy) so it would be great if the Mario Badeascu Drying Lotion was a comparable alternative. 

For those of you who are interested in a strong spot treatment, Kate Somerville is having their Friends & Family sale, which ends tonight and you can take 25% off all the products with free shipping! Use the code FRIENDS2016. This makes the EradiKate Spot Treatment $19.50 down from $26. I'm definitely snapping one up because finals are around the corner and I am pretty much a a cheetah right now with all the spots I have...

Have you tried any Kate Somerville products? What were your thoughts? Thanks for reading!
