If fashion is your vice, but your wallet cannot handle it, you have to learn some tips and tricks for looking like a celebrity without having their bank account. Fortunately, there are some quick and easy ways to find these celebrity looks, and you can even put your shopping alerts on autopilot.
Flash and Private Sales
Here are some of the websites that offer members special deals on high-end luxury goods and fashion at deep discounts. Websites include Hautelook, Gilt, Rue La La, Ideeli and Gilt. Some membership sites require you to register as a member, while other websites require that a current member of the site refer you to be a member of the site. The discounts that these private sales offer reach as high as 90% off the retail price.
How it Works
Once you become a member of one of more of these sites, you will receive a daily email that previews the specials for the day. These are private sales, so the deep discounts on designer fashions are only available to members. There are also a limited number of items available and the sale only lasts for a set period of time. The sale ends when the item sells out or the time runs out, whichever of the two occurs first.
Additional Perks
Some of these private sales websites even reward you for recruiting additional members. Some sites offer you a discount off your next purchase on the site. Other sites offers gift cards to retailers, which can range from Starbucks and Omaha Steaks to fashion retail stores such as Gap and L.L. Bean.
