PrettyUnused.com is a “blogtique” that offers the hottest pieces off the runways, fashion pages, movie sets and exclusive boutiques for deeply discounted prices. Their team of celebrity stylists use their expertise and connections to secure fashions at 25-75% the actual retail value. The best part? If the deal isn’t low enough to suit you, you can negotiate with their buyers by simply sending a request via the “ask a question about this product” option. Finally, the feel-good factor tops the whole experience as they donate 10% of all sales to The Humane Society of the United States (a charity I support wholeheartedly). A few great deals I found include a pair of Chloe patent slingback wedges for $200 (retail $700), an elegant Dior black pencil skirt for $530 (retail $1,100), and a powder blue Kenneth Cole cashmere cocktail dress for just $60 (retail $138). Not only do they carry the latest trends, but plenty of classic, quality pieces that are sure to last season after season. These deals are amazing even before negotiations so remember that the deals go even deeper.
Other benefits include a great search option (try designer, category or product) and a membership option that offers notifications on new merchandise and access to “Shopping Saturdays,” which are open only to members for even more markdowns, and the “Virtual Stylist Guru” tab for custom styling assistance. Their team of professional stylists also photograph all items with their styling suggestions which can take a skirt from simple to sassy and works well to show you the true beauty of designer pieces and how they wear.
