Im only a second row as well at Ideeli. The only ones I have purchased from was Juxy (2 Bulga bags) and a Cole Haan wallet from Ideeli.



Sorry Swank Mama of Three....wasnt sure what was appropriate to be posted.
 
When I first joined Gilt I bought a ton of stuff. They were having wonderful jewelry sales and every time I saw a designer I loved I would end up buying a piece from that collection (Anthoy Nak, Ippolita, Guhran, and the list goes on.....).

After a couple months I looked at all the things I had purchased and I realized that in total I was buying a lot more than I really wanted. Each time there was a sale I would think that I couldn't pass it up at that price and I would purchase the piece. Then the next week they'd have another great designer and the same thought.....can't pass it up at that price. And later that same week...the same thing.

I am now trying not to even go to the website. But of course I do occasionally and I have been lucky that there is nothing that has even tempted me.
 
I've never even heard of Juxzy, can someone invite me, please???

I love looking at the sites like ideeli, gilt, hautelook, ruelala, but I haven't bought much. I bought a DVF dress super cheap during the hautelook blowout sale, a pair of sunglasses on ideeli and a pair of shoes off of gilt. I felt like hautelook and gilt took forever to ship to me, but ideeli was quick.
 
I just scored a Jil Sander bag from Gilt--for about 1/3 of the normal price. I had been searching for a super tailored, simple black bag (my other bag is a hobo with a big zip on the front and some snaps on shoulder--and with my new motorcycle jacket (with lots of zippers) I figured I was going to look like a crazy tough old-broad (I'm 47) if I actually put those two together this winter.) Just when I was despairing of ever finding a very simple/tailored bag with structure without being a hard-box bag. . . that would go over my shoulder yet wasn't a long shoulder strap--what did I see on Gilt.com?

Of course it took 45 minutes of trying to buy it while it was "in another members cart" but finally I caught it! Yeah!!! It shipped today. I hope I love it. . .the no return thing makes me nervous, but so far I have had great luck with the few things I've ordered from Gilt.

Very nice...simplistic, functional and gorgeous!
 
I just found out about Gilt and Rue La La in last month's Harper's Bazaar magazine. I am easily coming obsessed.

Since I live in Europe, Noon EST is 6pm here. I make sure I am logged in and ready to go pretty much every evening that there is a designer I am interested in.

Like right now the Alexander McQueen sale is going on and I have been dreaming, since I saw it, to purchase one of the pieces of clothing While it is a steal of a deal, I don't know if I want to spend that much!!! Like right now I have another page open on the computer so I can look at it and continue to contemplate whether to buy or not. Thus far I have held out.

How are the other sites...like Billion Dollar Babes and Juxzy? Are they worth being a member?

Is there a way to be put on a waiting list to join Juxzy (like Gilt) or is it by referral only?
