Fab Freebie: So Haute In Here

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***

Who doesn’t love a sale? Especially when it’s to the tune of 50-75% off retail. Well that’s exactly how HauteLook rolls when it comes to creating 48-hour deeply discounted sales on home items (as well as clothing and beauty stuff too). A new sale pops up every morning at 11am EST, but here’s a sampling of what was up for grabs last week:

Hautelook Tiles

And one of you is gonna get $100 to spend on HauteLook this week, meaning you could snag items like an $850 graphic rug for just 80 bucks out of your own pocket. Not too shabby…

Hautelook Rugs

Here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: $100 towards anything on HauteLook.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M HAUTE” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us about the all-time best deal you’ve ever scored. Was it an incredible sale that landed you a deep discount? Or maybe you bartered your way to something for free?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, October 20th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

This giveaway’s random winner is… Valerie J (who’s scored a $4000 Restoration Hardware armoire for only $315 just because the top crown molding was busted). Congrats!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from HauteLook.

    I’m all about shopping for a great deal! Probably the one I got the most excited about was a selection of baby onesies I bought from the Gap, including the “Freshly Baked” one you guys used to announce your exciting news. Retail was around $15, I think, but I managed to snag them on clearance and on sale for only a couple bucks each! Can’t beat that! :D

    My latest ScoRe, is the dresser and end tables set that my husband got for free from his work! We have been looking for a year for the right one (we had four random pieces of different wood tones before) and just couldn’t find what we were looking for. He brought them home, i sanded and painted them black, added new hardware, and now they are my pride and joy. I go to sleep at night grateful that the room is now complete!

    My entire house is full of fab deals, but I’d have to say that our dining room table/chairs/hutch is the best deal we’ve ever gotten for something new. It was the only completely new set we purchased when we moved into our first home- we got the table and 2 leafs, 10 chairs, and the cabinet/hutch for 1,999. It’s absolutely gorgeous and something that we will keep forever.

    The best deal I ever scored was on Christmas Eve a few years ago when Bath and Body Works was taking down their Christmas displays. I bought an 8 foot flocked tree completely decorated with the ornaments they had for sale that year ($850 worth of ornaments!) for $25.00, that included the tree!!

    Oh, and probably the best deal I ever got (this sounds so heartless)…

    my roommate sort of disappeared because her boyfriend died (I know, it was really sad) suddenly so she went for some “me” time with her mother in California and then disappeared from there and never came back. It’s now been like 8-9 months since she was here and her mother has given me the go ahead to keep whatever I want and donate (read: “sell”) whatever I don’t. So, I’m selling clothes that don’t fit me at consignment and some of her other things I have no use for as well, but here’s some choice items we scored:

    1. All-Clad pots and pans
    2. KitchenAid mixer
    3. All-Clad slow cooker (my other roommate has “claimed” this. I’m not pleased)
    4. A huge Le Creuset dutch oven
    5. Really good knives (roommate has also “claimed” these… we’ll see…)
    6. futon
    7. queen-sized bed
    8. 1930s “waterfall” dresser
    9. pewter frog (with a little crown – super cute)
    10. an unexpected and large collection of designer handbags. Go figure.

    We’ll see what else pops up.

    It’s quite a pain in the you know what to sort through everything, plus it’s been taking up A LOT OF space for 9 months and we lost about $650 in rent for April while we had no subletter and she didn’t pay rent (but we had a one-month deposit from her, so that helps).

    Essentially, it sucks in a lot of ways, but I’m trying to see the upside.

    Well, the best deals always come from yard sales and thrift stores for me and I’ve had some pretty awesome finds, but my favorite is when I was really wanting a cake stand, but of course am I going to shell out retail for one? NO! So, a week after I started wanting one I went to one of my favorite GoodWill’s and what was looking at me when I got inside? A gorgeous mint condition blue glass based and clear top cake stand (with a top!) and how much was it? $1.69. Thank you GoodWill.
