Looking Haute on a Budget

Whenever I come across a great site to pick up finds, I love to share it with my friends or The Enabler because why pay full price when you can get it for a song.
http://www.hautelook.com/ was started by a producer who quit her job on Fox11 News (Los Angeles) to follow her love of fashion. Her idea was to create a site where you can pick up samples (typical sample sizes run teeny-tiny) but her site will have all sizes. You need to register & can provide the name of your referrer (tdang8@gmail.com) to get access to her site. Almost daily, they will have sample sales from various designers (Splendid, Juicy Couture, Free People, Rachel Pally, etc.) and you MUST act quickly if you find something that speaks to you. The sales only last for about 24 hours, with a new designer featured every day, so if you love something, you MUST act quickly. Discounts run from "its ok, I can find it cheaper" to "why am I even thinking about it?". You cannot buy until 8am PST, so an email alerts you minutes before a sale starts and some items get sold out within 1 minute of being posted.

Tips


  1. Check out the Arriving Soon designers

  2. Make sure you sign up for the email alerts

  3. 8am is the exact time items go up for sale

  4. If you are undecided, place it in your shopping cart. The item will go on HOLD until you want to buy

  5. Be familiar with the designers sizing.

  6. Get $10 for referring a friend that buys, so spread the word.

Rachel Pally & BCBG will be arriving soon....waiting patiently.
