Luxury Bargains

New on The Daily Lalee, it's a feature custom made for hard times in a decadent society: Luxury Bargains.  In Luxury Bargains, I'll present you with amazing deals on things you absolutely do not need.  But if you must splurge, better to splurge at a discount, n'est-ce pas?

First up on Luxury Bargains: 

Gilt Groupe.  Gilt Groupe is an invitation only luxury discount site that runs 2-day sales of beautiful designer clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories at up to 70% off.  Recent designer sales include Cynthia Rowley, Oscar de la Renta, Alexander McQueen, Vera Wang, and Isabella Fiore.  Send me your email if you'd like an invitation, but be forewarned: this site is DEADLY.  I've found myself sorely tempted to buy a $700 sweater simply because it was 50% off.  The $700 price was post sale.  

When you see the discount, it looks like SUCH A GOOD DEAL, until you realize that it's still insanely expensive.  Serious deals at ridiculous prices make Gilt Groupe a Luxury Bargain.
