Happy International Women’s Day!

I personally think it’s a pretty awesome celebration and I hope one day it will be as big here as it is everywhere else in the world. While we have Mother’s Day, and any other day Hallmark can make money on, the idea of celebrating women is sadly left out. I find it odd, considering it all started here.

So, in case you are like me (a non USA native) and actually celebrate this holiday, I’ve got some pretty awesome ideas for how you can do so. The key word today is luxe — not to be confused with “lox” (which happens to me sometimes).

Yoox is celebrating International Women’s Day with an extra 10% off on their Spring-Summer women’s collection. The code WOMANYOOX expires today.

The Outnet has a splendidly curated collection, The Leather Edit, that promises to reinvent cocktail hour with butter soft must-haves. I have to tell you, even if it’s only for the fun of perusing; you have to look at their picks.

Starting at 11AM:

Gucci Shoes at Ideeli.com

Why?

Because they are emerald green — this year’s Pantone color of the year — and they are a statement piece.

Starting at 12PM:

Marc Jacobs Collection on Gilt.com

Why?

Because it doesn’t really matter what you are wearing, once you add one of his tailored satchels, or a quilted cross body, you’ll create a memorable, understated luxury look.

Final note: if you happen to shop at Loehmann’s in New York, you’ll be glad to hear they have an online presence now. I receive their emails, so I am sharing a code LOEH20 that saves you $20 off regular priced purchases of $100 or more. Offer expires Midnight 3/10.

That’s it for the week. Have a great weekend. Remember, the Escada Sample Sale starts on Sunday in New York City. Check our website for details, and reviews of their prior sales.

All sales final.

WHEN: Ongoing

WHERE: Online – CalypsoStBarth.com

It’s not a coincidence that today’s picks are all spring related. I think both myself and the people who curate these sales have had enough of these winter storms. And by the way, dear Punxsutawney Phil, you suck at predicting the weather. If I were you, I would look for another job.

Starting at 11AM:

Adorable Christian Dior Shoes at RueLaLa.com

Why?

Because the quilted leather slingbacks fire-engine-red have the right heel and cut to look both elegant and sexy. They’re also daring and demure, all in one.

A Feel for Spring Cashmere Sweaters on RueLaLa.com

Why?

I love cashmere. When in doubt, I always end up wearing one, and these pastel and jewel-tone sweaters will never go out of style. They are basics, so don’t feel guilty spending money on one (or two).

Starting at 12PM:

Spring Must-Have: Turquoise Jewelry on Gilt.com

Why?

If the above sweaters are too much for you, but you want to add some color to your safe outfits, here is your chance. I love turquoise, although I personally wear it more in the summer than in the spring.

Pour La Victoire Shoes on Gilt.com

Why?

This is another chance to add some personality to your safe (read: boring) wardrobe. Pour La Victoire shoes tend to be trendy and fairly affordable for the quality of shoe you get.

Ongoing:

Diane von Furstenberg on TheOutnet.com

And I’ll end with an ongoing sale at Outnet.com: Diane von Furstenberg’s Refreshing Color & Signature Prints.

That’s it, folks. Sorry for the weather. Don’t blame me, blame Phil.
