Shop the Hottest Designers for Much Less

Rue La La and other Designer Sale Websites help you afford your favorite designer brands.

We're talking the hottest designers.

Want to wear (carry, use, etc.) the hottest designers, but don't have the big bucks to spend? That's where the hottest shopping websites come in. Trust us, they're fabulous.

Quickly gaining popularity, in part due to the current economy and in part due to our obsession with designer duds, are websites that offer huge sales on popular fashions. Check them out and you'll get obsessed!

It's just like being invited to an exclusive sale. You visit the websites every day to see what designers are offering discounted products and you generally have a couple days to take advantage of the sale. But you better act quickly because products sell out fast and you might miss your chance. And the discounts are huge, generally at least 50% off and often more.

The best sites to shop these exclusive sales are Rue La La, HauteLook, and Gilt Group. And when we say hot designers, we're not kidding. The websites have recently had sales for brands like Dolce & Gabana, Marc Jacobs, Prada, BCBG, Le Perla, Citizens of Humanity, Chloe, Nanette Lepore, Oscar de la Renta, and tons more. Designers usually offer clothes, handbags, jewelry, shoes, and lingerie; but there have also been deals on housewares, spa services, and more.

Some of the sites insist you get an invite. But if you don't have a friend to invite you, just sign on to their waiting list and within a couple days, you'll get right in.

You'll find yourself checking out these websites every day and drooling over the designer duds. But this time you might actually be able to afford some of them!
