Exclusive Shopping Communities

Hello Lovelies!

From one fellow shopaholic to another I think it’s safe to say that we’re all looking for the best bang for our buck right?  What’s better than great service, awesome quality product, and prices we can all love?!  Sure sometimes the service as far as the shipping costs and time frame aren’t convenient but the rest pretty much makes up for it.

Now if you haven’t already been exposed to great exclusive limited time only and for the most part invited only shopping communities, you need to get on it pronto.  Sites like RueLaLa, Gilt Groupe, Beyond the Rack, Ideeli, One Kings Lane, and Hautelook are the most popular out there.  They offer great brands, prices, and variety of products for us all to race and grab while they last.



Here’s an example of event listings with Hautelook:

On average prices are marked down at least 50% off they do vary but if you’re lucky some brands that are frequent events on the sites might have higher markdowns.  As far as the time frame goes well for the most part events will be anywhere from 2 or 1 days in length, but with great deals most of the inventory flies out the door.  Shopping with your iPhone is another convenience!  I believe they might have have apps set up for Android and what not too but I am not certain.

If you haven’t already signed up I urge you to do so.  Even if you don’t purchase anything shortly after that’s fine.  For a few I still haven’t bought anything and been a member for over a year.  But it’s great to have options especially in this economy.  You never know when a must have for you might appear with a price tag you can’t refuse.

Below I setup invitations for each community if you’re interested.
