Guilty Conscience?

Ladies, my apologies for not entertaining you yesterday. All excuses aside, for today's hump day special, I will tempt you will one of the web's hottest member-only sites. Gilt Groupe. If you've already heard of Gilt, bravo. And if you're already a member, props to you! (I hear through the grapevine that they're getting quite picky these days...) For all you new kids on the block, Gilt Groupe is hot. Before I tell you a little bit about why they're "all the rage" apply to be a member at www.gilt.com. That's right, you have to apply to be a member; hence, the exclusivity of Gilt Groupe.


Gilt Groupe was formed in 2007 and the site "provides invitation-only access to highly coveted products and experiences at insider prices. Each day, Gilt offers its members a curated selection of merchandise, including apparel, accessories and lifestyle items across the women's, men's and children's categories. In addition, Gilt provides the best in home decor and entertaining essentials, along with luxury travel packages and fantastic offers on local services and experiences. Most sales start at noon ET and last only 36 hours, making Gilt.com an exclusive shopping destination for luxury at up to 70% off."


As mentioned in the above excerpt, Gilt Groupe is more than fashion- they have a great partnership with Jetsetter, a members-only site that parallels Gilt, but specific to traveling in style. If you're not already sold on joining Gilt Groupe, I'm going to share my personal thoughts with you. While I've only purchased two things from Gilt in my 8 months of membership, the purchases saved me a pretty penny. The first thing I bought was a Glam Rock watch. Beautiful! And significantly less than the original price tag. If you know/have seen Glam Rock you know what I'm talking about. Also, I've purchased a pair of Seven jeans on Gilt. Sevens are my go-to choice of denim and I couldn't resist. You can't blame me though, because I got them for about $75. Another thing that I love about Gilt is that they have something for every gal (or guy, or even little ones). I've seen everything on there from vintage Chanel, denim choices like Sevens, JBrand, Citizens, and lots of accessories (jewelry by Alex + Ani, Missoni scarves, Stuart Weitzman shoes, etc.).


I hope you will join because once they let you in, you'll understand why I posted about Gilt Groupe in the first place. And if you don't join for some crazy and ludicrous reason, you might will regret it.
