Ideeli.com (invite-only shopping community) celebrates its 3rd birthday today with a $1,000 giveaway!

I just ordered a pair of  L.A.M.B. Quintessa sandals...can't wait to wear them!  And I'm excited to see what's in store for the Marc by Marc Jacobs sale scheduled for Monday.  If you're not an Ideeli member already and need an invitation code, here's your invite: www.ideeli.com/invite/CaliforniaStyle.
