Southern Protocol

Attention all you fashionistas on a budget: stop everything you’re doing and head over to TheOutNet.com, Net-A-Porter’s relatively new sale and clearance site.

For those of you unfamiliar with Net-A-Porter.com, it’s essentially the online go-to for high end merchandise; think Saks, Neimans, and Bergdorf’s virtual counterpart. While NAP has always had a clearance section, they decided to expand on it, probably listening to the thousands of customers who voiced their desire for more deals and steals.

TheOutNet has tons of designer brands way on clearance that will make any shopper giddy: Chloe, Louboutin, Herve Leger, Marc Jacobs, YSL… the list goes on and on! What makes the site more unique is its “special events.” They will randomly have “Flash Sales” – a certain item is put up for sale for a certain time frame, and gets cheaper and cheaper as the clock winds down; the longer you wait, the cheaper the garment will be… but the smaller chance you have of getting it before it sells out. Oh, the anticipation!

I’ve heard that they also do $1.00 sales. At a random, unannounced time they will put a variety of items up for a $1.00 sale. And we’re not talking $30 dresses from Target, we’re talking $2200 Herve Leger dresses. For ONE DOLLAR. Crazy!

I always forget how much I love the outdoor, foreign market feel of World Market. All their products, whether wine or food or art or furniture, just seem to exude unique chic simply by being within the walls of this store. It’s a great place to hit when you’re looking for specialty foods or quality furnishings and decor.

So especially if you’re in the market for home updates, get to the World Market on Orleans Road this week! Wall art, furniture, decor and even some fun trinkets are up to 50% off! I personally purchased a gorgeous, art-nouveau-esque set of three paintings for only $50. It was a miracle I walked out of there without buying everything!

It’s a week of sales and celebrations in honor of the holiday of love!

Naturally a girly boutique named “iheart” will be a boutique all about Valentine’s Day. And they want to share their love of the holiday with you!

This Saturday, February 13th the South Winderemere center boutique is having their “biggest blowout sale of the year.” All new merchandise will be 40% off, while all previously reduced merchandise will be 75% off! Their popular brands include Tibi, Cynthia Steffe, Alice & Trixie, Frock! By Tracey Reese, Voom… the list goes on and on.

Yet another place to find that perfect date dress.

iheart is located at 38 Winderemere Blvd.

You read right – one of Southern Protocol’s favorite boutiques is beating everyone else on King Street to the punch, and commencing their spring cleaning this week.

From now until next Sunday, January 17th, Lula Kate will have all of their ready to wear clothing on sale for – wait for it – $30. That was $30. THIRTY DOLLARS! This is an absolute steal for the gorgeous, high quality merchandise Lula Kate offers.

Why the miraculous sale? As you probably know, while Lula Kate has racks of pretty ready to wear, their focus is on special occasion attire. They have decided to make this main part of their business their sole business, allowing them to have many more superb customer service-oriented appointments. From here on out, they will be a specialized boutique…and the best one in town for bridal and special occasion.

Head on over to Lula Kate between now and the 17th to score yourself some classic frocks and tops to start the new year off right! Lula Kate is located at 314 King Street.
