Spotted for Less: Wandering Platforms


Biviel’s beautiful Wandering Platforms ($158) are drool-worthy in every way. Would they be even more desirable with a price tag under $100? I think so! Over the weekend I noticed Piperlime currently has the same shoes on sale in a limited size range for $100 minus a penny, just barely making the cut. They’re known as the much less interesting Biviel BVC053 over there but they are in fact the same shoes.

If you see an Anthropologie item listed for less somewhere else, please send me a tip! I love a good deal.

    Endless.com often has the same shoes as Anthropologie at the same price or cheaper and they have free overnight shipping and return shipping. Right now they have a few of the Seychelles brand shoes. The "Wishing well flats" are $88 at Antropologie and $70 at endless.com (known as the Square Dance Flat over there).

    Nordstrom sometimes has Anthropologie tops at much lower prices. I've been posting them on my blog, and have spotted two so far, including what Anthro calls the Floret Trifle Blouse. It's on the Nordstrom site now as Moonset Silk Tunic, about $78 lower in price.

    Nordstrom had the Paz Tee from Leifsdottir on sale during their Half Yearly Sale for $78. It's $118 at Anthropologie. And Nordstrom had it another color besides ivory. They offered it in blue.

    Here's another tip for Nordstrom. They will match other competitor's pricing. So if you see a Leifdottir item at Nordstrom in your size and not at Anthro, ask Nordstrom to match it.

    Hi Roxy, I bought the wandering platforms in 38 from piperlime last week! I was thrilled when I saw it. I think it definitely is worth it to spend some time googling around!I can't wait to receive this pair of shoes. I have very high expectations!ny0311

    ah man! I am now seriously lusting after these, but although the 39 shows up online, they are all out of them at piperlime…:( If anyone else sees them for a good deal elsewhere, please let me know!oh – and beware other size 39s hoping to order these because they really aren't there!

    Irish Mar, ChristyB, Lady Cardigan and Diem – thank you ladies for sharing the additional tips! You rock.Sweet Tea in Seattle – Me too, I just love feeling like I know the secret deals. :)Chloe – LOL. I was making them too! Ahem, I mean I calmly added them to my bag and checked out…hahaha or not.NY0311 – Cannot wait to get mine either, although I am a bit worried about sizing because I ordered a 39 but I'm hearing they may run small, in which case I'm probably screwed. Oh well though, it was worth the chance because of the deal.kater – oh no! If my 39s do not work, I would be willing to sell them to you at cost if you're interested. I'll let you know how it works out.

    I bought Frye Deborah Studded boots (or Call-Of-The-West Booties at Anthro) at Lori's shoes ( http://www.lorisshoes.com/product.asp?lt=c&ca… ), not only they are cheaper at Lori's but I also used the coupon "toutie" and got a 20% discount. It was a pity that the boots run BIG and I had to return. Hopefully someone will be able use this tip.
