Bargain Shopping: Online Sample Sales

Did anyone else miss out on the chance to buy discounted Christian Louboutin shoes? The web site gilt.com had them available today, at a pretty significant discount. I haven't had much luck in scoring great deals online-- either I'm working (at the start time of noon for many of these sales) or what's left really isn't for me. (I was actually hoping for a pair of Louboutin flats rather than heels-- my husband is shorter than me and wearing anything much of a heel makes me personally uncomfortable.)

Last summer, I did manage to buy a beautiful Hayden-Harnett Pallenberg satchel from the July sale. It's a sensible black-- rather than the gorgeous mustard I'd been lusting after-- but it still looks great after daily use. Hayden-Harnett really isn't in my current budget, so a steep discount was a definite treat.

I'd love to find something great at a site like Yoox, but I feel overwhelmed. It's tough to pick a great piece when your budget also needs to be a part of the equation.
