Natalie Portman’s Te Casan line of vegan shoes goes on sale tomorrow.

There are a lot of good reasons to live in Hawaii, but one of the disadvantages for the fashion set is being so far from all the major sample sales.

If you’re oblivious to news and ads, good for you, but I can’t help feeling like I’m missing out when I see the ads in the Sunday Times or email alerts from boutiques thousands of miles away.

I try to spend most of my money in Hawaii to keep my neighbors employed because we’re all on this rock together and can only get through this downturn together, but for those items you can’t find here at the price you want after exploring all your options, the newest invitatation-only luxury site, Ideeli.com, offers designer apparel, accessories, prize giveaways and more, at discounts of 50 to 90 percent.

The site allows members access to sales events through email and mobile alerts, and puts us on even footing with buyers across the country, though quantities are limited and tend to sell out quickly, like these purses during a recent Chloe event.

The next event, beginning tomorrow, Nov. 12, at 11 a.m. EST, features Natalie Portman’s Te Casan collection of eco-friendly vegan shoes, like the one below, for shoe lovers who want a clear conscience. Prices start at $105, representing savings of up to 69 percent.

An example of the Te Casan shoes that’ll be up for grabs.

You must be a member to check out this and future events, including W Hotels, Estee Lauder, Prada and Lanvin giveaways, and Hype, Junior Drake and Vivienne Westwood sales.
