FashionStake

I, of course, found this great site on Twitter. This team of students from Harvard combined forces to make a website that sells expensive clothing before it is publicly released at a cheaper price. Read about their back-story here: http://mashable.com/2010/09/01/fashionstake/

I just "voted" on my favorite items they have listed in their "trunks". This doesn't mean you have to purchase the item, but the act of voting sure makes you want to. My favorite item was a boyfriend blazer made by JUMA so I voted for it out of the three items by the same label. Voting on different fashionable items is a good way to see what other people think of upcoming ideas and ideas that are fading in the fashion industry.

Go over to their site (by clicking on the title of this blog or going to www.fashionstake.com) and check out their trunks! You might come across some lucky finds before the holidays.
