Sweet jesus I’m finally done with my papers. MissChicGeek here back and in full effect. I sincerely apologize for the flat line of new posts. It’s been a … challenging past month. MissChicGeek has been working towards a geekier future. Cross all your fingers and toes that all my hard work will pay off. If and when this happens, I’ll be sure to share the good news. Until then, we focus on the new year and new endeavours.

So what’s the latest fashion savings? truth be told I’ve seen a shift of sales from traditional premium designer store sales to online invite premium designer sales. What do I mean by online invite? I’m talking about sites like Gilt Groupe, Ideeli, and even our very own Daily Candy created Swirl. These sites host private limited time premium designer sales. Customers are notified via email and the sales typically last only a 2-3 days. Savings vary from 20-75%. This premium designer sale business model has gotten so popular that Gilt Groupe has expanded beyond premium fashion brands to premium travel destinations, Gilt Jetsetter. Let me know if you need an invite, I can forward one to you. For some sites, every member gets referral bonus’ once their referral makes his or her first purchase. MissChicGeek can use a pair of new shoes… or 10.

I like things delivered start to my doorstep. Or in this case, to my email box. Plus, I do not like to be bombarded by clutterly emails. These sales work for me because it’s a hand-full of premium designers for a very limited time. If I miss it, so be it, it wasn’t meant to be.

Given it’s mid January, I predict Winter sales to be right around the corner. I, MissChicGeek, will do my best to keep you updated. Until then, try subscribing to a couple of these sites. You may be pleasantly surprised with the selection and flexibility these sites offer. If you don’t like it, no harm done. The site “membership” is 100% free to join. Just removed yourself.

Ah… MissChicGeek is uber excited for 2010. I hope you all are just as excited!!!! Cheers~

We all know Planet Funk is horribly over priced. Especially in today’s economy, most people cannot afford $300 premium denim.

The best way to get rid of unsold fashion inventory is by having a warehouse sale! It’s a great opportunity for savvy shoppers like us to score the clothes we dig and still have money for gas.
