Your Drunk Shopping Habit Just Got A Little More Dangerous
Who out there hasn’t come home from a boozy dinner or post-work drinks and said, “Credit card bills be damned, that vintage taxidermied zebra head shall be mine!” (True story.) But truly, substitute vintage zebra taxidermy for “necklace” or “bag” or “black J.Brand skinny jeans” and you’d be hard-pressed to find an imbiber who hasn’t drunkenly hit buy. And now online retailers have picked up on this totally obvious phenomenon and are starting to target our tipsy tendencies.

Lady Gaga’s Mugler Dress Sold For $20K But There’s Still Plenty Left!

Gilt Groupe Implements Much-Needed Return & Shipping Improvements
There are plenty of reasons why Gilt Groupe is a smart company, and one of them is its willingness to adapt and improve as customers (and the market) see fit. The retailer’s latest round of changes came to Gilt customers via an email blast, and we’re willing to call them a collective game changer.
Gilt Groupe Is Holding A Special Two-Day Lady Gaga Sale
Lady Gaga‘s album Born This Way is being released in a little over a week, and she’s really trying to harness the power of the internet.

Gilt Groupe Now Valued At $1 Billion, A Number Cooler Than $1 Million
It’s no secret that Gilt Groupe is a really big deal in the retail world. In fact, the discount luxury e-tailer is such a big deal that it’s been valued at $1 billion. Yes, $1 billion. This number is especially impressive given that the young company is not yet profitable.
The Girl’s Guide To Curating A Super Cool Jewelry Collection
Besides being a makeup addict, I also happen to be a jewelry addict. That whole Coco Chanel “take one accessory off before you leave the house” adage? Um, no thanks.

Gilt Groupe is growing up. The online flash sale site is well past its tipping point, which is why its operations practices are so interesting.

What is more fascinating, however, is how much of an old school operation Gilt currently runs.

We hate when our friends who work in finance turn their noses up at the fashion industry.

So it makes sense that one of the country’s best b-schools, Harvard Business School, has developed quite the fashion culture.
