Shop It To Me

So its been a tough week (kind of freaked myself out a bit when I just teared up reading a blog post about a family's sweet adoption celebration party). A little emotional shopping will soothe my soul. But I have to be smart about it since I'm the champagne taste on a beer budget kind of gal. So I do the sample sale website thing: Ideeli, Gilt Groupe, The Outnet. I belong to them all. But this one takes the cake...


Seriously I could kiss the person who invited me to this website. Its fab and simple

1. You set up a profile

2. You pick 5-10 (I'm sure you know which end of the number scale I was on) of your fav brands. And these are the good brands, nothing random here. When I saw Louboutin and Louis Vuitton in the same place as Joe's Jeans I knew I had died and gone to retail heaven.

3. You tell them your sizes for pretty much every piece of clothing or unmentionable you wear

4. You tell them how often to contact you (sadly I do not have time or the willpower to resist if I got them daily)

5. You go on your merry way and they find things for you, in your size, ON SALE!!!!!!!!

Now I know what you're thinking..."I cannot limit myself to only 5-10 brands!" Well ladies, you don't have to. You can show a little gluttony and receive info on all 660 brands they have or you can go in and choose more from your original 5 to 10 starting options.

Then you get an emails showing you the things they selected for you in your size, as if my own personal Rachel Zoe had just culled a list of great things for me. They even list the retailer this sale is available from so you know the item didn't fall off the back of a delivery truck or something. Oh and did I mention they're all ON SALE!!

My first email featured, but was not limited to

This Kate Spade top for $144.75

This Tory Burch dress for $132.50


This Marc by Marc Jacobs blazer for $129.00

Now I am a recent convert (we're on day two here people) and I have yet to see how quickly the good items go or if it is easy to make a purchase. But I just have a feeling that something this good could never go wrong and I sure was clicking on this email this morning when it popped into my inbox.

So leave me your email address as a comment if you want me to invite you to join. Oh and full disclosure I get a $10 gift card to the retailer of my choice for every 10 people who sign up. So lets go people, the deals of a lifetime are waiting for you! Later
