The Net's Best Deals…For Members Only

Label-conscious shopaholics have a new destination for top-end designer swag at pinch-me-I'm-dreaming prices.  It's called RueLaLa.com, and it's bound to cause an internet sensation…at least it will if anyone actually finds out about it.  Because what makes this new shopping site SO very exclusive is that you actually have to be invited to shop there.  Wrangling an invite can't be all that difficult – after all, they exist to make money – but there are reasons the "invitation only" rule may be more than a gimmick.

RueLaLa offers EXTREMELY limited amounts of EXTREMELY cool stuff.  And they only feature one brand at a time.  And they only run each sale for a 2-3 day period.  And when the stuff is gone, baby it's gone.  Logging on at the start of the last day of the 3-day Balenciaga handbag sale, not a single beautiful, desirable designer bag was left!  Which is especially upsetting because one particularly gorgeous two-tone leather satchel was reduced from $2600 to $1685!  No wonder the goods sell out in hours.  Upcoming boutiques include Gucci and Anne Cole, so you might want to score that invite now.  There's a spot on the site where you can request one, and you can also sign up for email and text alerts for the upcoming sales.  If you love to shop for discount designer duds, you'll want to check this out ASAP.
