I haven’t even moved from my office chair in two hours and I’m exhausted.
Why am I exhausted? Blame Gilt and Rue LaLa, two online sample sites that I’ve been glued to for the last couple of hours in hopes of snagging a Francesco Biasia or BCBGMAXAZRIA handbag, ultimately getting the BCBGMAXAZRIA Femme Fatale Medium Satchel, pictured below. Yay!
In case you aren’t farmiliar with online sample sale sites like Gilt and Rue LaLa, the jist of it is that these sites provide shoppers (aka members) access, by invitation only, to luxury brands at prices up to 70% off retail. Most online sample sales last 24-36 hours and feature hand selected styles from designers. The catch is that there are only a select number of each item available so if you see something you like, you’d better put it in your shopping cart right away or you might lose any chance of buying it.. at up to 70% off!
That’s what happened to me in the case of the BCBGMAXAZRIA Femme Fatale Medium Satchel on Gilt.
I saw the bag, knew I liked it, but I didn’t put it in my cart and about 5 minutes later it was not available. Luck for me, the shopper who had put it in her cart had 8 minutes to buy the handbag before it went back on sale. I didn’t know when her 8 minutes started so I just hit refresh over and over waiting for the “Wait List” (you can be added to a wait list for items) button change to “Add to Cart” and it did! What a relief!
I’ve been very happy with my two most used handbags, both Coach, but my favorite Coach bag is missing two pieces, my second favorite Coach handbag is not quite large enough for the trip, and I desperately wanted a black handbag so I went out on a serious and very time consuming search for the perfect handbag. The funny thing is though, I ended up with a tan handbag.
I gave up on The Sak Silverlake Bucket bag I was seriously considering buying because I couldn’t figure out what the true color of the bag was.. as you’ll see in this post. I am going out of town next Thursday and wanted to find a handbag that could be delivered by Tuesday so please please let this bag be delivered by then!
“Diddly Darn!”.. as my mom would say.
I featured a Mia Bossi diaper bag earlier today and would you believe that Mia Bossi diaper bags are on sale at Gilt, one of my favorite online sample sale websites, now?
So, I guess you can temporarily ignore the $300 and over in my ‘3 designer diaper bags over $300‘ post when it comes to Mia Bossi.. for a day at least, while the Mia Bossi sale is on at Gilt. As you may have seen in my 3 designer diaper bags over $300 post, Mia Bossi diaper bags are usually $300-$1000+. The Mia Bossi sale at Gilt is too good to pass up mom’s! Treat yourself to a great diaper bag for less than 1/2 the regular price.
