Y'all know I love Rue La La and finding myself waiting somewhat impatiently for 11:00 AM to roll around for my favorite designer boutiques to open up. I have found a new site offering the same types of designers (actually, I have been more impressed by the boutique offerings) that you can find at www.ideeli.com. Here is a description....

what is ideeli:
ideeli is the first members-only shopping community in the U.S. We offer limited-time sale events that feature the most sought-after brands in fashion, home and beauty -- at up to 80% off. Membership is by invitation only and there is no fee to join.

Designer accessories, apparel, home goods at up to 80% off
Fabulous weekly giveaways
Invite your friends and get $25 for each friend who buys
how it works:
New brands are featured each day at up to 80% off. All events start at 11AM EST. Sales last 36 hours, or until items are sold out. We also have weekly giveaways. They have a surprise start time and last 7 hours (in most cases). Our members are notified by email, SMS, facebook and twitter each time a new sale starts.

But here is what is different....you can upgrade your membership in order to enter the boutiques early! Today is Dolce and Gabbana and I think I may just dip into those big savings to pay a little extra to get the D&G mustard and black stilettos! Thoughts????

Please send me a mesage if you would like to be invited to ideeli! Hope you all are having a great day!

This is a fabulous site and I have been surprised at how much I have actually been on it to purchase gifts as well as clothing which I normally would be prepared (or not) to spend almost double for!

What is Rue La La? It is a site for those of us that would like to have great labels but really can't afford an entire wardrobe of high end designers like Prada, Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs, and La Perla. Also, it is hard to find these labels on sale unless you are willing to admit that you may be buying an "impostor". Rue la la is a member-only site that offers sale boutiques with some of the best labels in the world, albeit slightly limited options. I have found a number of good deals including some very cute Cole Haan leopard print boots, VIX Swimwear bikini, Citizens of Humanity jeans, Juicy Couture velour pants and matching hoodie, and a TOY Watch.....All for a fraction of what I would pay if I were purchasing them at Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus!

The only drawback that I have experienced and have heard from friends would be that if you want to be sure to get a specific size or a very popular item, you have to be ready to shop right at 11:00 AM EST as soon as the boutique opens. However, you are able to preview what some of the items in the boutique as well as having reminders sent directly to your Blackberry or iPhone. There have been many times I wanted to purchase something but it was either sold out or they didn't have my size. Even if I do remember right at 11:00 AM EST, it may conflict with, I don't know....hmmmmm......working?

Please let me know if you would like to join and I will be happy to send an invite...Enjoy!
