Online Lightning Sale websites
Many fashionistas are catching on to what I like to call "lightning sales". These are sales, usually hosted by an invitation-only website that offers designer products at extremely low prices, sometimes up to 75% off. The stock is low, and these sales can sell out in a matter of minutes. I like to think of it as a Ticketmaster specifically for women - just as men will have 3 computers going to try to get front row tickets to the game, there is nothing a woman won't do to score a Marc Jacobs bag at 50% off.
Here are some of my favorite "lightning sale" websites, and a taste for what designers collaborate with them!
RueLaLa.com
now made famous by the new tv show Launch My Line, RueLaLa.com has been around for a while, helping those in the know look fashionable while still keeping their wallets thick! Perhaps the most popular of the invitation-only sites, RueLaLa launches sales for designers such as Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Betsey Johnson, Judith Liebler, DKNY, Kate Spade, Cole Haan, Nanete Lepore, 7For All Mankind, Miss Sixty, Badgley Mischka, and Michael Stars among others. The site also includes sales for the home, children, and men.
GiltGroup.com
recently revamping their site, Gilt Group has grown into a major site with the launch of their sister sites Gilt Fuse and Jetsetter. A pioneer in terms of their Jetsetter website, Gilt Group offers discounted rates at hotels and resorts all over the world, some, 5 star. They have gone beyond the world of fashion in terms of luxury at an affordable price. Some designers seen on their website: Rebecca Taylor, Cosabella, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Leonelo Borghi, Hugo Boss, Gianfranco Ferre among others. Current sales on Jetsetter? At anytime you can find sales for a luxurious stay in New York to Colorado to Mexico, all the way to Bangkok, London, even Western Asia.
HauteLook.com
Haute Look seems to beat out its competitors in terms of the amount of sales going on at one time, however this yet to blossom site seems like it doesn't offer as many big name designers as Rue La La and Gilt Group seem to offer. But their sales cannot be beat! Fendi tote for under $250? or an Ashley and Emily blue topaz ring originally $1,240 now $248? Dior sunglasses for 75% off? If you didn't realize what you were missing, I'm sure you just did!
BillionDollarBabes.com
I like to think of Billion Dollar Babes as the site to visit when you want to stray away from the uber trendy designers that flood its competitors websites. While some women battle over a True Religion sale at one of it's competitor's websites, navigating Billion Dollar Babes will find you refreshing and unique designers such as the funky swimsuit designs of Tigerlily and the basic clean-cut look of Daftbird. Don't be too carefree when navigating this site though, women are catching whiff, and when their Chanel Vintage Pieces sale hits, make sure your computer is fast enough to beat the rush! *Billion Dollar Babes receives bonus points for their VIP membership program. For an annual fee of $100, you receive early bird visitation rights, special discounts to restaurants and hotels, entered into a month $500 shopping spree, and free shipping on all US orders!
So you've read about them and you've made your pick! Now how do you get in? Have no fear, retai(fm)l is here! Below are codes that will gain you access to these exclusive, invitation-only sites, courtesy of retai(fm)l!
