Online Sample Sites

Have any of you ever joined or purchased from an online sample site? They seem to be gaining steam but I've only just begun trying them out. I'm always a little weary about buying from sites that aren't as well-known or established. There are quite a few that are free to join and you can sign-on right away to see what they have available, but the deals don't always seem deeply discounted like what you would expect from a true sample sale. There are also a few that require a friend code or waitlist to join - some of these appear to have better deals, but in either case you need to do your research and shop around. 

The idea of an online sample sale seems like a great idea - it sure beats having to wrestle your way through crowds of grabby females - and if you don't live in New York, it's a great opportunity to get those designer duds you've been eyeing but couldn't afford at full retail. All in all? I'd still urge you to be careful which sites you're signing up for, and make sure to do your research before giving out your information and making a purchase! Otherwise...SHOP TIL YOU DROP!!

And speaking of shopping...

Bebe Amuse Wedges

Now for those of you who have never seen the Bebe Amuse - these were extremely popular when they first came out and sold-out very quickly in most sizes, including mine. They are made of suede with black leather piping and have a cross-strap front with ankle strap closure and a knotted design on the back. They are really, really tall (6.25 inches!!) but utterly gorgeous. They retail for $149.99 and I have rarely seen them on sale - not that my size was available anyway; however, I found these IN MY SIZE at the sample sale for $69.99 each!!! I'm very excited and hope they arrive soon...
