Ok – I want to get this out in the open. I work at Gilt Groupe, a flash sale fashion monolith, based in New York. This means I have my finger on the trigger when hot designer items find their way into a roughly 40% off members-only stash on Gilt.com. Along the way, I’ll be sharing my recent well-thought-out purchases and rash impulse buys. Feel free to let me know if I’ve made a fashion faux pas or stumbled upon a once-in-a-blue-moon steal.

Below you’ll scout the latest of Gilt’s flash sale treasures, starting with a Rosegold Nicky Booty in black (these pretty much look like my Colonial Madness boots from two or three seasons ago except with different bells and whistles; I can’t help it, I like what I like).

I also snagged a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs Super Stretch Denim Leggings, which might turn out to be a fashion faux pas, if I don’t start doing my Bar Method workout DVDs more regularly. Marc by Marc Jacobs Super Stretch Legging Gilty Shopping
And, last but not least, an angelic Line & Dot fur vest with a hood – super steal! Still working on the right outfit that pins these three together. One thing’s for sure, unless I run away to the  circus strip club to turn my lifelong dream into go-go dancer reality, I’m going to need a top to finish the outfit. Let the shopping begin!

    you work for gilt? wow. yer people have made a fair amount of money off of me. LOLOLOLOL! i buy a lot on-line. and i think i return 50% of it. sometimes there is a reason stuff is on sale at designer discount websites! but sometimes one scores something fab at a discount, and then we do it all again! and again! and again!

    I love gilt. You should have named it "guilt"! Mostly I buy jewelry just because it's so hard to tell how the clothes will fit. I complained about the skinniness of the models and do you know SOMEONE FROM GILT SENT ME AN E-MAIL on the subject. I was impressed. Reply

      Yeah, they are very responsive! Seriously, if you are ever not totally satisfied, let them know. They really listen to their members. We once had a comment come in about "heterosexist" language, and we went and changed the wording of a sale immediately. Glad you were impressed with the service and like the products =D Reply
