A List of Sample Sale Designer Websites and Sample Sale Invites

If you haven't jumped on board and started shopping at sample sale designer websites yet, you're missing out big time.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the deals on these websites, and all are true and authentic merchandise.  Of course they are, since designers use these sites to push their excess merchandise to, and most are just released items.  Due to this trend, buyers are getting designer products for a fraction of what it would cost them if they wandered into Nordstrom or Louis Vuitton, and even Valentino! 

These sample sale sites not only include fashion (clothes, shoes, jewelery, purses, make up, etc), they also include amazing deals on designer furniture as well as kids clothing and toys.  They also have great deals on vacation packages and resorts.  In this blog, I'm going to list my favorite designer sample sale websites.  I'm not gonna bother listing the ones I never find good deals on, cause what's the point of wasting your precious shopping time on them.  When I first joined, some of these websites required you to have an invite from a member, I'm not sure if they still require that, but I'm including an invite to these sites in case you need them.  Here we go!!

Clothes, Accessories, Home, Kids, Etc

Gilt Groupe

Rue La La Invitation Link: http://www.ruelala.com/invite/lllb%20
Rue La La loves designer clothes that scream class and flash.  I always find amazing BCBG merchandise on their website.  Their "stay at home Sunday sale" has products to die for!  They also have home and kids products.  Love them!

Hautelook is Hot!! I love their products because I always find unique looking merchandise.  I especially love their fashion and kids section.

Ideeli Invitation Link: www.ideeli.com/invite/sssrt4
I must say ideeli has the best bargains.  You definitely get some bang for your buck.  They are usually the cheapest out of all sample sites and they carry great fashion finds.  Not so much for home, but sometimes you get some good deals.  Especially on kitchen products!

Beyond The Rack Invitation Link: http://www.beyondtherack.com/member/invite/B36078C7
I love Beyond the Rack!  Another great website with great merchandise!  They definitely carry designer brands at exclusive $$$, but it might take a while to get your product in the mail though.

 Billion Dollar Babes Invitation Link: http://www.bdbshop.com/account.php?f=invitecreate&token=1t3UoJiVnKakpJk%3D&pa=bdbinvite This is another great website with great designer products.  The only complaint is that they don't post as much products as the rest, but they always have something new daily.  And it's always good stuff!

 Row Nine Invitation Link: http://www.rownine.com/invite/leeleelbb
 rownine doesn't have as much products volume as other sample sale website, but when they add something new, it's always extremely high end products for a deep discount.  It's definitely worth checking.

Modnique Invitation Link: http://www.modnique.com/invite/sssrt4@hotmail.com
Modnique has awesome products and brand names at great prices.  They carry a lot of R&R, Valentino, BCBG, etc.

Furniture, Home, Etc.

One King's Lane has high end furnishings and home products that are discounted at up to 80%.  It's amazing the finds you find there!

 Invitation Link: https://www.onekingslane.com/invite/leeleelbb
 The foundary is similar to One King's Lane, but it has a mix of high end and middle of the road brand names.  A nice mix!

Invitation Link: http://www.jossandmain.com/store/myinvite/9VF
I love Joss & Main because when you find a deal, it's an amazing one.  They usually have great items at steep discounts.  More than that of One Kings Lane.

This website is my favorite for babies and kids.  It also has many sales for moms!  Have fun shopping for all!

Dress Of The Week!

Zuhair Murad weaves his magic as always!  I absolutely love this designer.  His dresses represent timeless elegance.  Miley Cyrus wore this flower like dress back in 2009.  Almost two years later, this dress still makes the eyes pop!

I Love IDEELI Designer Sample Sale! Check this out!

I absolutely love designer sample sale websites.  You definitely get some one of a kind pieces for amazing discounts.  I'm all for getting a good deal.  I would NEVER pay full price for an item because it will always be over priced.  But I'm also a sucker for beautiful designer clothes/accessories/furniture.  So what's a girl to do.  I definitely won't be driving around stores spotting sales.  That's way too exhausting and time consuming.  Come designer sample sale websites.  There are tones of them out there.  But one of my favorite is definitely Ideeli!  They always have the lowest prices and best sales.  Check this dress that I just spotted out:

You would definitely stand out at a party in this dress.  And best of all, it's down from $296 to $99!  I guess I'm set for my shopping fix today :)

I'm pretty sure you don't need an member invite to join this site.  It's member exclusive so you have to join to purchase anything.  Check them out:  www.ideeli.com

In case you do need an invite (it's been a long time since I joined so I'm not sure if you do), here is one:

Fall/Winter 2010 Royal Purple Color Trend: Most Beautiful Dresses

 

I've been obsessed with the fashion  color purple recently.  The color purple not only has its way of making a bold statement, but it's captivating and sensational!

Browsing through designers' fall/winter 2010 fashion collection,

the eye is inevitably drawn to attires that are purple in color. 

 It's also one of the colors of royalty.  If you look back in time, you would see that royalty and high class society used the color purple in their clothes and furnishings to make a bold statement.  When you're attending a ball, big party, or prom, a purple colored dress is your best bet.  You will definitely make a statement of glamourus splendor.  

                                                                                                                                                                  Depending on your personality, you can choose from many different shades of purple.  I love the deep rich color that captivates the eye!  Take a look at these beautiful purple dresses that make you want to hit the next big bash in town just to wear something like them!  

  

Focus on Fall

It finally feels like fall season has started.  At least here in Chicago, IL!  We've been having unusually warm weather over here.  But walking through university campus today, I felt a cool gush of wind blow through with a chill that makes one say 'uh huh, fall is here!'.  My next thought was on color!  While I love fall colors (yellow/brown/orange), I see them no where in sight this season.  Not in fashion! 

Many colors are in this season.  Designers seem to be all over the map.  But I did note a color pallet that's taking hold more than other colors.  Many are embracing the deep hues of purple, pale blue, and all shades of grey.  The designers at the top are setting the tone for everyone else.  Runway shows of Burberry, Oscar de la Renta, Philip Lim are governed by rich purple color!  Chanel, Tommy Hilfiger, Dior runways were lit up by pale blues.  And finally you see grey all over the map.  

Focus on color this fall, you won't go wrong no matter what you buy or for how much you buy it!  Remember, there are always ways to get more for less!
