I pretty much plan to do nothing over this long weekend. It’s going to be about rest and relaxation… okay, and a little online shopping. Right now, a number of our go-to brands haven’t just extended their New Year’s sales, but they’ve made them even better, with increased markdowns and extra savings on already-discounted items.
To give you an idea of where to start your long weekend shopping, I found four of the best sales happening on the internet right now, with deals on everything including designer bags, the shoe brand Katie Holmes and Meghan Markle wear, and even shopper-loved anti-aging skincare.
Best Weekend Sales
- Coach Almost Gone Sale: Up to 50 percent off
- Fleur & Bee Half-Off Sale: 50 percent off everything
- Birdies Before They Fly Away Sale: Up to 57 percent off
- Kate Spade Outlet New Year’s Sale: Up to 75 percent off
50% Off: Coach Tabby Messenger 19
Coach Almost Gone Sale
- Jolene Loafer, $105 (Originally $175)
- Tabby Messenger 19 Crossbody Bag, $198 (Originally $395)
- Soft Tabby Hobo Bag In Signature Jacquard, $225 (Originally $450)
- Dakota Bucket Bag, $248 (Originally $495)
Coach has officially launched one of its best sales of the year and, as a Coach loyalist, I’m definitely not missing it. Its Almost Gone Sale includes iconic purses and shopper-favorite shoes that are up to 50 percent off. There are three bags that I’m really considering: the Tabby Messenger 19 Crossbody Bag, Soft Tabby Hobo Bag in the designer’s signature print, and the Dakota Bucket Bag. All three purses are half-off and loved by shoppers, who rave that the leather is “absolutely gorgeous” and that even the small crossbody Tabby bag is “spacious enough to fit everything you need.”
And while Coach might be most famous for its bags, it’s the brand’s shoes that have really won me over. A number of styles are on sale, but take it from someone who owns a pair of Coach loafers — you’ll want to grab these while they’re up to 40 percent off in Maple.
50% Off: Fleur & Bee Retinol Serum
Fleur & Bee Half-Off Sale
- Just Dew It Hydrating Serum, $30 (Originally $60)
- Eyes Eyes Baby Anti-Aging Eye Cream, $32 (Originally $65)
- “A” Game Retinol Serum, $37 (Originally $75)
- Crème de la Cream Brightening Moisturizer, $37 (Originally $75)
If you’re looking to elevate your skincare routine in the New Year, make sure to jump on Fleur & Bee’s Half-Off Sale where everything is — duh — 50 percent off. If you’re looking to reverse signs of aging, the brand’s “A” Game Retinol Serum and Crème de la Cream Brightening Moisturizer are both must-grabs. According to shoppers, the serum made their skin “appear smoother,” “clearer, and glowy,” while the moisturizer improved their skin’s softness and brightness “overnight.”
For a boost of hydration, customers love the brand’s now-$30 hydrating serum, which is formulated with hyaluronic acid. “It instantly plumps my middle-aged skin, filling in fine lines and giving a light glow,” wrote one fan of the serum, while another said it “immediately makes [their] skin feel more hydrated and luminous.” And to combat puffy, dark under-eyes, grab the brand’s beloved Eyes Eyes Baby Anti-Aging Eye Cream, which even shoppers in their 70s say “works like magic.”
57% Off: Birdies The Cardinal Sneakers
Birdies Before They Fly Away Sale
- The Cardinal Sneakers, $65 (Originally $150)
- The Vesper Loafer, $70 (Originally $130)
- The Swan Pointed-Toe Mules, $75 (Originally $120)
- The Falcon Ankle Boots, $100 (Originally $165)
Birdies is a favorite amongst both InStyle editors and celebrities, with stars including Katie Holmes and Meghan Markle rocking the brand’s plush shoes. Right now, select styles are up to 57 percent off during its Before They Fly Away Sale. For winter-wear, the brand’s Cardinal Sneakers and Falcon Ankle Boots are both great options. “As I tried them on, my feet melted in the shoes and they've been comfortable ever since,” said one person about the ankle boots, adding that the style is “versatile for various occasions: business casual to [going] out with friends to running errands.”
But, hey, I won’t tell anyone you’re already thinking about spring fashion (if you don’t tell anyone I am, too) — especially after seeing that both the Swan Pointed-Toe Mules and Vesper Loafers are on sale. The timeless mules, which boast thousands of five-star ratings, feature seven layers of padding. According to one person, they’re “so soft and comfortable” that they’ve been able to wear them to work where they “stand for long hours.” And per another customer, they’re “the most exquisite pair of comfortable shoes [they] have ever owned.”.
75% Off: Kate Spade Monica Crossbody
Kate Spade Outlet New Year’s Sale
- Monica Crossbody Bag, $69 (Originally $279)
- Giselle Booties, $95 with code EXTRA20 (Originally $289)
- Leila Medium Triple Compartment Shoulder Bag, $119 (Originally $399)
- Light Weight Down Jacket, $129 (Originally $329)
Coach isn’t the only luxury brand with a major long-weekend sale happening: bags, clothing, and more are up to 75 percent off right now at Kate Spade’s Outlet. If you’re looking for a timeless leather bag you can wear daily with everything, consider grabbing either the now-$69 Monica Crossbody Bag or the more spacious Leila Medium Triple Compartment Shoulder Bag. One person said that it matches everything in their closet and is the “perfect size” to fit all their things, while another fan added that the “leather looks so rich.”
You’ll find more great deals on shoes and apparel, too. These Giselle Booties are now just $98 with the code EXTRA20, while this down puffer jacket, which is available in four colors, is 61 percent off.
