Not to brag, but I’m kind of an expert when it comes to scoring a deal. It really comes down to one thing: patience. Being surrounded by sought-after designer items all day, like I am, can make you want to shop. But if you can remember the retailers selling the pieces you want most and then sit on your hands until they run a sale, you can get those pieces at a fraction of the original price, not to mention a heap of self-satisfaction. Honestly, coming out the winner of a sale is sometimes even better than receiving the item you actually bought. 

With that in mind, you can imagine my excitement when I found out Shopbop was holding a sneaky three-day sale this week that’s chock-full of all my summer wish list items. As a sneak peek of its epic summer sale, Shopbop is taking up to 40% off several warm-weather items between now and May 10. Brands like Vince, Khaite, Agolde, Nili Lotan, and Saint Laurent are all included in the sale. Say less. Since we’re working with a tight timeline, I’ll let the 40 Shopbop sale items below do the talking. Now get shopping.
