Well this morning I got up early for my last drive to my company headquarters in Santa Barbara. Besides being sad to make this last trip, I was also sad...to miss some shopping opportunities this morning.
This turned out to be lucky, since I need to COOL IT with the shopping lately, but there was a Rebecca Minkoff sale on Gilt.com and a Final Sale for many brands on Rue La La, both starting this morning as I was in the midst my 5 hours of personal singalong on the road.
For example, if I had been near a computer, this might have been mine:
Tory Burch Edyn Dress, on Rue La La today.
This was on sale again today, I first tried to get it during the first sale, it sold out. Then I thought I glimpsed one on sale on ToryBurch.com, order got cancelled. Now its OFFICIALLY not meant to be.
Or perhaps I would have ordered this...
Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Clutch in tan, from Gilt.com
Rebecca Minkoff was a funny brand for me. I had never heard of it, then one day I saw a bag in a blog post, went to the Purse Forum site, and instantly I had to have one of her bags. Like, right now. Thats actually the way I work a lot on high ticket items, I become obsessed until I get something. Its, um a little dangerous.
So a few months ago I got my first RM bag, a Morning After Bag in Dark Brown, on half off from RevolveClothing.com. Its so pretty, holds so much, and the leather is great. People have been asking about this bag, so I wanted to post a bit about it. I really love it--even though I usually like more light, whisky browns, the dark brown has been a great color, and it has an adorable blue and ivory striped lining. It holds a lot and slouches to fit. Both handles stay on my shoulder comfortably (!!) and I can find things easily in it. The gold harware is not too glitzy.
Here's a pic of it right out of the box:
Ha! Notice the JCrew box under my desk, I'm terrible.
And you all saw the bag in action in my recent post:
Anyway, I am happy I missed these sales, money stayed in my pocket for the day, and I can revel in some things I already have that I love (or ones on their way)....
Did anyone shop these sales today? Any more questions about the RM bag? Does anyone need an invitation to Gilt.com or Rue La La?
have a great evening!
I saw a couple things on Ideeli today. I got out of there quickly before I could get sucked in. I look on gilt, but haven't purchased yet. I don't think I've browsed Rue La La. Which is your favorite of those 2?

I am trying so hard to be better about shopping for a little longer - so I have been deleting the RueLaLa and Gilt emails every day...but I can't take myself off the email list.
ReplyDeleteI'd love an invite to Rue La La... sounds like a great site (...but sort of evil?) :)
