We’re always on the hunt for a great deal.
So, we couldn’t be happier about all of the online event shopping sites that offer discounted name brand products. Access to these sites is free and only requires email sign up. We’ve rounded up our absolute favorites to help you save when you update your fall wardrobe.
HauteLook
HauteLook, a Nordstrom company, is one of the most popular event shopping sites. Use it to score amazing deals from up-and-coming designers and well-known beauty brands. Every morning, new events are added to the website to help you score the best deals. Full warning: shipping tends to take a bit of time because the items are shipped from the designer, not HauteLook.
Gilt
For the ladies that love the finer things in life, take a peek at Gilt and their high-end event sales. From Gucci to Tom Ford, Gilt is committed to helping everyone enjoy luxury for a little less. As an added bonus, you get free shipping for the first 30 days! Before you splurge at the Chanel store, make sure to check out Gilt to save on current designs and collections.
MYHABIT
Amazon is another company that has jumped on the members-only shopping train. MYHABIT strives to give you well-known brands for less. From home décor to workout essentials, MYHABIT utilizes Amazon’s connections with designers and brands for your benefit. With free shipping and daily deals, MYHABIT is one our favorite ways to snag new items for half the price. Plus, everything from MYHABIT can go into your Amazon cart!
Rue La La
Rue La La offers a wide variety of brands.
From high-end to new designers, Rue La La is an awesome way to find sales. Prices for items from new designers tends to be a bit cheaper compared to some of the other event sales sites. Rue La La has an interesting shipping policy—$9.95 gives you free shipping for the next 30 days.Bluefly
Like the other event shopping sites, Bluefly releases daily deals on fabulous items. Unlike the other sites, it doesn’t require email signup. Scroll through their events to snag the best deals on clothing, home, and kids’ toys and clothes. With a wide selection of events going on, Bluefly is a great way to save money for a fraction of the price. Be sure to search through their sales section to grab last minute deals from your favorite designers.
Shopping Tips
- Never want to miss a sale? Be sure to subscribe to the site’s emails.
- Just because an item is on an event shopping site does not mean that it’s the best deal. Price compare with Google Shopping and Amazon. Don’t forget to take shipping and sales tax into account for your price comparisons.
- Check for coupon codes. Find them directly on the site or on coupon aggregators like Retail Me Not and Coupon Cabin.
- Since popular items tend to sell out quickly, sizing may be limited.
- Keep in mind that most event sites work as a third party between you and the designers, so sometimes delivery can take longer than traditional shipping.
