Fab.com On the Rise

Fashionistas,

Though there’s not much time in a day, I do try to keep up with the most interesting fashion websites.  Of course there’s Bag Borrow or Steal, HauteLook.com, Gilt Groupe and many more.  But I recently read a Huffington Post article about Fab.com that’s worth sharing.

I didn’t realize Fab.com started as part of the larger website “Fabulis,” a gay men’s social network founded by Jason Goldberg and Bradford Shellhammer.  While the social network didn’t last, the website’s daily deals proved extremely popular and Fab.com was born.  Today, Fab has around 3.5 million members and shows no signs of slowing down, despite the apparent saturation of the flash sales market.  The site offers the ubiquitous trinity of fashionable merchandise- clothing, accessories and housewares- which cover a wide range of prices.  To learn more about Fab.com check out the Huffington Post’s article.  To sign up and shop Fab.com, click here.

Fashionably Yours,
