Kooba straw leather Sloane' tote bag
Kooba "Sloane" Handbag

$387.00 (was $645-- save 40%!)

10. Amazon.com Designer Outlet - Since Amazon.com aggregates hundreds of smaller online stores, there's plenty to choose from, but it's crazy easy to navigate thanks to Amazon's way with organization. Hint: be sure to read seller feedback if not purchasing directly from Amazon. Hot Finds: 2 for $20 Cosabella thongs; $150 Burberry scarves.

9. Pink Mascara Sale Section - The huge sale section at this trendy online boutique is constantly overflowing with hot labels marked down up to 70% off. If we didn't know better, we'd think they stocked more sale items than regularly priced items. Hot Finds: Splendid tees under $25; half price 3.1 Phillip Lim dresses.

8. Dexclusive Luxury Watches - True to their name, it's all watches all the time at Dexclusive. From fashion finds by Chanel and Gucci, to classic luxuries by Omega and Longines, it's available on sale all the time. Hot Find: the uber-classic Cartier Tank Francaise 20% off.

Billy Jean in Medium Drifter
True Religion "Billy" Jean

$108.00 (was $196-- save 45%!)
Available at: labelspree.com

7. Bag, Borrow, or Steal Outlet - Many people don't realize that this online handbag rental service offers up its gently used stock for sale on a regular basis. If you don't mind toting a "previously carried" handbag, you can score great deals on 100%authentic designer labels. Hot Finds: up to 75% off handbags from Rafe, Botkier, Gucci, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Chloe, and more.

6. Yoox.com - The site is a pain to navigate and the sizes are very, very limited, but the ordeal is worth it when you find the perfect little Italian designer number for half price. Hot Finds: chic separates from Moschino, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Valentino.

5. Overstock.com - When it comes to fashionable finds, this supersized online closeout store has as many duds as winners. But, the quality of the winners keeps us coming back time after time. Hot Finds: Fendi cotton logo bandanas under $15; half price Frye boots; 60% off DKNY cashmere trench coats.

4. C&C California Sale Section - Who would have thought that there's a place where you can find pricey C&C California fashions marked 50-75% off all the time... legitimately. The sale section at the official C&C online store is a treasure trove of styles, colors, and sizes, all marked down to discount store prices. Hot Finds: tees and tanks under $20 and blazers and jackets marked 75% off.

3. Bluefly.com - The selection at luxury discounter Bluefly can be overwhelming. Skip the high-end designers (Gucci, Versace, etc.), which are only marked down a site standard 20%, and instead search out crazy deals on mid-priced designers that are often marked down as much as 60% upon arrival. Hint: they post new arrivals every day at 6:30 a.m. EST; shop early for the best deals. Hot Finds: handbags from Kooba, Stuart Weitzman, Rafe, and Goldenbleu; jewelry from Argent Vivo, Kenneth Jay Lane, Alexis Bittar, and Viktoria Hayman; and cashmere sweaters from Hayden, Alvin Valley, and Design History.

2. Label Spree - This newcomer site liquidates the overstock and out of season items from a couple of our favorite online stores. Since it is affiliated with the stores, and not a true outlet, the marked down stock is typically mere months out of date. Hot Finds: stylish denim from J Brand, True Religion, Habitual, and Earnest Sewn marked down up to 65% off.

1. SmartBargains.com - This fabulous outlet, which serves as the online home of bargain shopping wonderstore Loehmann's, features a consistently high-quality selection of designer finds. Hot Finds: shoes from Charles David, Via Spiga, and Jessica Simpson; sunglasses by Gucci, Fendi, and Christian Dior; and clothing and accessories from Juicy Couture, Calvin Klein, and Marc Jacobs all typically marked down 50% off or more.
