By now I'm sure you've already checked out Gilt Groupe and Rue La La for your daily online fashion fix. Well, if you like those sites you're going to LOVE (I mean it) PeppermintPark.com. Peppermint Park sells current and past season goods at unbelievable discounts - many up to 80% off - and the mix of brands includes super high-end companies like Prada, Marc Jacobs and Gucci.

For example, right now on the site you can pick up a Prada "Tessuto" handbag (regularly $595) for $191 (pictured below left), or a Michael Kors "Sultan" sandal for $55 instead of $220 - that's 75% off.

If clothing is more your thing, you can get a pair of Diane von Furstenberg's "Honey Bunch" shorts (below left) for $38 instead of $198 (81% off), or even a real cashmere hoodie from Aqua for only $18 (down from 118.40 - that's 85% off).

The only thing that I didn't love about the website is that there's a fee to join - but I got them to give me a promo code to get around that. If you sign up and enter the code ABOUT where it says "Promo Code" you will get a one-month trial for free!

Also, if you do eventually decide to join as a paying member, every time you refer a friend you automatically get $10 AND every time they buy something, you get 10% of their purchase price back in your account. But unlike Gilt Groupe and Rue La La, you don't have to use that credit for future purchases - you can cash it out and get it sent to you as real money! I love that idea soooo much.
