This Just In: Presse Boutique Closing

Presse Boutique is closing its doors in the next couple of weeks and that means their online business is closing down too.

Presse Boutique is closing its doors in the next couple of weeks and that means their online business is closing down too. Just last month they worked with Rodarte to release seven exclusive items that never made it into production and despite their success with the sale--the economy has weakened their business to the point of no return. Presse Boutique, you will be missed!

Vintage

Hollywhirl.com For Vintage Designer Goods

We just found a new e-commerce site with a concept we can stand behind--vintage designer goods at affordable prices, authenticity guaranteed.

We just found a new e-commerce site with a concept we can stand behind--vintage designer goods at affordable prices, authenticity guaranteed. Although there are some Prada sneakers and Christian Louboutin espadrilles we'd like to forget there are mostly amazing pieces and good deals on Hollywhirl.com. From St. John knits to quilted Chanel bags there are also a slew of classics on this website that make it worth bookmarking alone. We've been waiting for a vintage Net-a-Porter to come along so hopefully this great website will start things moving in that direction.

J Crew

JCrew e-Commerce Down...Again

Why in the world can't a brand like a JCrew keep their website functioning properly is all we want to know.

Why in the world can't a brand like a JCrew keep their website functioning properly is all we want to know. We're not trying to be jerky safe-behind-our-laptop "bloggers" but c'mon, what's a girl got to do to give someone a little press these days? For two days (that's eighty million years in the real world) we've been trying to visit J.Crew's website to do one of two things: buy something and write about how other people should buy something. The first time we were blocked at the gates, we saw this, and the second, well, notice how there isn't any fashion in the picture to your left. 

A brief history in J.Crew's e-commerce mishaps: in July the site went down for the better part of a month and J.Crew's biggest fan, J.Crew Aficionada, wasn't happy. Racked and Bloomberg both followed the story. 

Fast forward to Holiday 2008, just weeks before we wrap up this sorry excuse for a fiscal quarter, and the site sinks again.

A message to J.Crew: throw some money at this thing and we promise we'll buy as many cable knits as it takes to make up for it!!!

Stephen Webster Online Sample Sale

We gave a shoutout to sample sale e-commerce site, Gilt Groupe, some weeks back and ever since then we've been compulsively checking out their daily offerings.

We gave a shoutout to sample sale e-commerce site, Gilt Groupe, some weeks back and ever since then we've been compulsively checking out their daily offerings. Yesterday, a Stephen Webster sample sale popped up and we thought to post on it. Jewelry at a discount spells gift-giving if you ask us, not to mention an opportunity to invest in your own collection. Above, our three favorite pieces from the sale.

With the influx of "secret" sample sale sites, like Gilt Groupe and ideeli, we're finding it hard to keep track. Eye 4 Style, thankfully, is doing the grunt work for us. On her radar? A new site called SecretStyle

The Shoe Goddess has a good feeling about Roger Vivier's Haute Couture collection--which may or may not pivot on Carine's stamp of approval.

Don't. tempt. us. The Black Friday Minkoff sale has been extended and Stained Couture posted the flyers to prove it--beware temptation!
