If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that this is the time of year when I do most of my shopping.
I make all of my designer and investment purchases during these end of season sales.
I stock up on all of my beauty supplies: makeup, skincare, hair care and nails.
I buy holiday gifts AND most of my birthday and other special gifts for the year.
With the bevy of sales, it’s easy to get lost in the noise or feel analysis paralysis. Here are the sales I’m shopping and why I love them.
- They are from retailers with ethical supply chains
- They have great return policies
- The products are high quality – they’ll last forever
Aurate
My go-to for every day, fine jewelry. Their pieces are solid gold (also offer gold vermeil) without the high mark-up. The dainty studs I wear on the daily are from here.

Violet Grey
This is my go-to for beauty. While 90% of my beauty routine is green, clean beauty, there are some products I use that aren’t because their efficacy is SO good. Violet Grey is my happy balance for carrying every beauty product under the sun.

Naadam
I’ve written about how amazing Naadam is before. Their ethical, superior quality cashmere is an absolute must.
Their sale is up to 75% off.
The Big 4
There are 4 designer retailers I shop with the most. Each has their own specialty.
Moda Operandi for an incredible mix of established and under-the-radar designers. Go for Ganni, Ulla Johnson, Acler and Johanna Ortiz.
SSENSE for avant garde and off-the-beaten-path pieces. Go for Moussy Vintage and Golden Goose.
Matches Fashion for the best selection of everything designer.
Net-a-Porter for the best mix of advanced contemporary designers.
The Indie Darlings
W Concept has an insane selection of indie designers, mostly from the Pacific Rim. Use code BLACK2020 for an extra 30% off.
Garmentory is an aggregated boutique of all the rad stores throughout the country. The best of the best curation.
