As a thank you to our loyal readers, we are always thrilled to pass sites along to you, where you can find amazing designer clothing and accessories at generously discounted prices. At the top of my online shopping destination list are Gilt.com, Ideeli.com and Hautelook.com. All three sites offer exclusive access to the most exciting designers on the market at prices that you will never make you feel the need to have buyers remorse.
The Gilt Groupe offers highly coveted men and women's designer and luxury items at prices up to 70% off retail. They feature designers such as Zac Posen, Valentino, Diane Von Furstenberg, J. Lindberg and many more. Each sale last 36 hours and things go fast, as sales are a first come-first serve basis. The membership is completely free of cost and if you refer a friend they give you a $25 credit to your account against future purchases! It's like sample shopping from your home and you can splurge and NOT feel guilty. www.gilt.com
Ideeli is a members-only shopping community for trendsetting women. They offer only the hottest accessories of the season that have been hand selected by editors and offered to you at a fraction of the cost. Here you can indulge in the beautiful designs of Vera Wang, Cartier, Marni, Bulga, Christian Dior, and Alessandro Dell'acqua. Upgrade to first row and you will be rewarded handsomely with freebies and not the cheap stuff you get from some sites, but amazing goodies like Pierre Hardy and Lanvin handbags! www.ideeli.com
Hautelook is a club which organizes exclusive 12-48 hour online private sales of premium fashion and luxury lifestyle brands. Club members have access to the latest merchandise at discounts of up to 75% off of retail prices and best of all, membership is free. The site sends out an invitation prior to the start of a sale so that you can view video footage and interviews with the designer of the brand featured each day. All goods are direct from the manufacturer and are guaranteed authentic. I love this site because designers, who at one time may have been out of your budget, are now available at unbelievable prices. www.hautelook.com
