Hot Girl Arbitrage: 12 EIHG sale picks from Moda Operandi x The Row's Private Sale

BONUS !!!! We're baaaack ;)

Welcome to Hot Girl Arbitrage: sale coverage for the discerning eye™️

---

TRUST me, I did not anticipate that we’d be back to this column soooo soon… like 24 hours ago the moda site was BAU, and today we have up to 50% off!!!! The Row is also doing a private sale that I fear is.. good…..

And listen, I have sushi to eat and a face mask to do, but it didn’t feel right 4 me to take advantage of another prime arbitrage opportunity WITHOUT U…. so here WE ARE :D.

~Before we start, if you’re new here, I’m dropping our Hot Girl Arbitrage bylaws below, and you’ll find extended context on this column here. And if you were here.. literally yesterday (lol).. skiiiiip and we’ll get down 2 biz:

• Every pick will always be EHG/EIHG certified (read about that here). I’ll only ever surface EIHG-aligned brands, and things that have been stamped with that aura. My only exception is for picks relevant to Goop-adjacency, but that’s a subthread of the EHG/EIHG lineage anyway LOL.

• Discernment is our sacred covenant!!! There are lots of beautiful things that go on sale everyday, but not everything is WORTH it, even at sale price. This is my lens of what’s worth it to ME, but check your gut to see if it’s worth it to YOU. Perhaps the discount isn’t substantial enough to entice, and even that’s worth celebrating!! We are never ever despy over here!!!!

• On that note^^ i’m only going to talk about sales that are compelling! And i fear that the majority of sales are… simply not. So if you have a request, send me a note or plug it in our gc, however, i will always reserve the right to veto!!!

• To triple confirm that we’re aligned on ethos: the thrill of a sale is in the mystical finds — aka the things you’d have gladly bought for full price, but by the law of the invisible hand, you get to walk into a new portal where for a short window of time, your desires exist at a DISCOUNT (arbitrage). We buy things because they’re fundamentally GOOD + they happen to be on sale, not the other way around.

The Moda Edit: Up to 50% OFF!!!!!

1. I’m starting where my pain hits the hardest: this goooorgeous toteme satin clutch — that I bought full fCKN price :D 10 weeks ago :D — is 40% off today :D. It’s beautiful and I have no regrets other than… the obvious, but that’s showbiz bby!! 🤠

2. To quickly ameliorate that wound, these have been in my cart since they dropped on moda early spring, and I’m SO GLAD I waited!!!! I am buying immediately. I love the idea of a tapered linen pant, and the butter yellow has strong potential (will update!!)

3. THEEESE tailored, wide leg, COTTON pants from a newly beloved EIHG brand!!! Fun. A perfect play on material, I love that they’re black so they give more formal, but because they’re cotton they can easily be beachy/breezy with the right top (sooo many options could go cropped crochet top, thin re/done x Hanes tank, a bikini top + billowy oversized button down … any i’ve mentioned + a sweater over the shoulder….)!! If you go more neutral, I feel a strong urge to style these pants with this necklace. Dreamy!

4. I feel like this top was an instant classic when it came out — a perfect summer strapless moment that looked good on everyone I saw it on!! I’d sincerely be thrilled to see it again this year (and the sale price is STUN). Also — would be sick to pair with this (EIHG beloved) Sophie buhai onyx necklace that is ALSO on sale (and in my cart lol)!!!! I’d really go insane on the writs though, like stack them UP with bangles + cuffs (yk i’m going to suggest JUJU V loool).

5. I’ve touched this row sweater in store and it is magical and heavenly and exactly what you’d want it to be. Gauzy and fluffy and somewhat light, like a sweet lil lamb <3

6. We’ve already discussed my STRONG DESIRE to acquire this sexy pirate top…. she is just so FUN. I personally don’t think it’s discounted enough to feel worth it to ME rn, but if the price is right 4 U…. pls do us all the honor <3

7. Cherries might be over rn, but I feel like this Jil Sander top will be a resale grail in 20 years.. I can just SENSE IT. We never quite hit the 90s-early 2000s gen x soft club because Y2K has us in a psychotic hold, but I do think we’ll explore that in the future….. a buy & HOLD (also discounted HEAVILY)!

8. Someone tell me that I don’t need these bby blue mini uggs….. they are just so cute and I feel like they will bring me dopamine indoors…. And like $90 for Uggs??? Will fall me regret NOT buying??? IDK… officially looking to you for a yay or NAY lol

THE ROW: Private Sale

(thanks

Shay

for alerting me !!!!!!)

9. UM THIS TEXTURED SILK BUTTON DOWN OF MY LITERAL DREAMS????????? All of my favorite button downs are from The Row and therefore there’s nothing else that I have to say. I just know this would be SO very perfect — sigh.

10. EIHGs loooooove these white poplin pants (per yesterday, pants of the summer). I get it — they’re buttery in the way you’d want them to be, and constructed with INTENTION. Compelling price IMHO!

11. Another row sweater that I’ve touched IRL and can confirm that the cashmere feels like lil spools of clouds (not always the case w/ the row). 50% off + priced under $1K which is also compelling — i’d describe it as bouncy with hints of gauzy!!!

12. HUGE — the OG red dune jacket is 50% off (altho I do love this duuuupe that is finally back in stock) !!!! It gives HOT MOM on the go. Would love to see with a luminous black legging + a thin scrunchy minty colored sock + the dries sneakers in silver. FUN!!!!

ALRIGHT…. I think that’s all she wrote, folks — I love you infinitely!!! LMK if this back 2 back send was helpful oR annoying looool <3. FEEDBACK IS WELCOME, always!!!! TALK SOON <3
