| Money Monday, Sales to Talk About, Tips & Best Practices


& ALL the sales

We want you to perform your best at ShopSense, so each week you’ll get a new roundup of the best sales out there. Here’s this week’s!

  • Saks Fifth Avenue: 40% off
  • Lord & Taylor: Extra 25% off almost everything and 10% off beauty with code FRIENDS
  • Neiman Marcus: Up to 40% off 
  • Bergdorf Goodman: Up to 40% off
And here are some fun content ideas to build around these sales …

Saks Fifth Avenue: The cocktail frocks on this site are to die for and have us thinking wedding season is totally in full swing. What to wear when attending all those weddings? Right this way.

Lord & Taylor: It’s always a good season for new shoes, and this Spring, so many great styles are popping up and on sale: gladiator sandals; ankle-tie, pointy-toe flats; and not to mention slides. Blog about some of your favorites and do a link roundup to show them off!

Neiman Marcus: Curate a list of bags all women need in thier closet! Saddlebag, crossbody, clutch, satchel, tote….What’s your bag?

Bergdorf Goodman: Statement Summer coats. Let’s be honest, some cities don’t get that hot Summer like others do, so whether it’s a daytime cover-up or a light layer for an evening dinner party, like this gem, your readers want to know how to style up on chilly days.
