If you’re like many fashionistas, you love the look and feel of quality designer goods. The quality, the cut, those unique details that really make the pieces stand out. For quite a few of us, these details make designer clothes and accessories worth the premium price.

However, while we might be able to splurge every once in a while on a special handbag or dress, many of us can’t swing a completely designer wardrobe. That doesn’t mean that you should give up on expanding your collection though, even with the economy in its current state. There are plenty of great deals to be had without setting foot in a designer boutique or dealing with obnoxious retail associates. Where can you find these great deals? The same place that more and more of us are turning to for our shopping needs: the Internet.

One site that we’re interested in checking out is Gilt.com, a members-only online store that offers incredible sales on some of the top luxury brands that we love. Promising prices of up to 70% off, this site requires that you sign up before you can see what they have to offer. However, there do appear to be some terrific deals available, albeit for a limited time. There was a Burberry Prorsum Womenswear sale going on when we signed up, and we loved the Lace Up Trench. Originally $3,395.00, it was available for $1,198.00 — still a designer price tag, but a great discount off the initial retail. We look forward to seeing what other deals we can find on this exciting site.

For those who love following the rollercoaster relationships of their favorite stars, the celebrity pairing of Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer has certainly been an interesting ride. The on-again off-again couple appeared closer than ever at the 2009 Oscars just last month. However, it appears the couple has broken it off for good. And surprisingly enough, the blame for the breakup seems to fall on John Mayer’s obsessing with the social networking website Twitter.

Occasionally referred to as “micro blogging”, Twitter has exploded in popularity over the past year. This popular site allows you to post text message-sized updates about your life for your followers to read. Many celebrities and companies have embraced Twitter as a tool for communication with fans and customers.

What does this have to do with Aniston and Mayer’s breakup? According to one source, Aniston called it quits because Mayer was spending more time spending tweets to his fans than he was calling or e-mailing her. Ouch. Apparently, he failed to return her messages, claiming he was busy with work. However, he was still taking the time to send out hourly tweets. Really John, would it have been that hard to send your girlfriend a text message at the same time you were sending one to your favorite website? And, not surprising to those who accept this story as truth, Mayer twittered about the breakup as well. What did he have to say? “This heart didn’t come with instructions.”
