Alexander McQueen Cashmere Skull Scarf!

For a few months now, I have had $75 in credit on Gilt Groupe. I scored the credit with them because three of the people I referred purchased something. (Thanks guys!) I was DYING to use the credit before I move to Toronto, as Gilt currently does not ship to Canada. (Boo!) But I hadn't found anything I wanted to buy with the credit... Till I saw something earlier this week... A notice on Gilt informing me that "Alexander McQueen Accessories" would be holding a sale on Wednesday (today) at noon.

So, at 11:55am, I positioned myself in front of the computer. I proceeded to click "refresh" on the Gilt home page till I saw the sale section for McQueen accessories. It took about 10 "refreshes" till I saw it. And then, I was off and zooming through the images.

See, I had one thing in particular that I was craving from Alexander McQueen. I had written about it before, a long time ago. And I knew, I just knew, that it would be available today in the sale.



The Cashmere Skull Scarf!

Sure, I have the silk one I bought in London this time last year. (Actually, I think it was exactly a year ago this week that I bought it at Harrod's.) But the one I wanted the most was a cashmere one. A soft, fringed cashmere one. And you know what?

I got it!

I was able to throw the red scarf into my cart, apply my credits, and pay for the balance with my debit card... All in less than two minutes!

I love Gilt Groupe!!! I got a scarf I have been craving for nearly a year and a half, and I got it for a third of the original price!

Cuteness - I nearly snagged that myself. Just keep in mind that the tag on the edge can get caught up easily and since it's cashmere and delicate, it can create pulls in the scarf. Just an FYI. ;)

I have this scarf in black and a green one in silk chiffon. The black one is pretty darn sturdy and I don't think the cashmere pulls that easily. The silk chiffon one however...eek.
Ooh well done for snapping up such a bargain! Very envious!
