"  The holidays are now just weeks away, and if you&amp;#039;re already dreading the out-of-control crowds like some of us ELLE.comers are then we&amp;#039;ve got an online shopping secret for you!  Launched in May 2009, Covet Shop (covetshop.com) is a completely web-based high-end consignment store developed by boyfriend-girlfriend duo Gregg Friedman and Nancy Chuang. With just a few clicks you&amp;#039;ll enter a world filled with Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Moschino, and so many more. The best part? Our beloved brands are listed at a fraction of the original retail price. This online consignment boutique transforms someone else&amp;#039;s pre-loved vintage designer goods or regrettable one-of-a-kind buys into newfound treasures.  For sale devotees like us, Covet Shop&amp;#039;s price reduction-process is enticing. Here&amp;#039;s how it works: if there is a piece you like that doesn&amp;#039;t get snatched up within 30 days, the price is slashed by 10%. After 60 days, there is a final markdown of 25% off. As a way to keep product choice current and in season, each item will only grace this dot-com for 90 days.  Let&amp;#039;s be honest, you know as well as we do that your overstuffed closet is in danger of a Rebecca Bloomwood clothes explosion, so if you can part with your past, put them on the market at Covet Shop and see returns of 60% (on the final sale). Your Alex Wang and Jason Wu threads will appreciate the breathing room, and you&amp;#039;ll be happy with the extra holiday green in your bag! Happy Shopping! \u2014Natasha Clark, Associate Fashion Credits Editor  Follow ELLE on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
