The online sales are staggering right now (seriously - amazing) but as we all know, the delightful madness will be gone with the December calendar page. Unless you're a member of Rue La La, the latest in a string of online designer sample sale sites that we've unearthed this year.

The brands are on the accessible side of fashion-forward, including Splendid, BCBG Max Azria, and my fave, Theory. In fact, sign up now and you'll still get a crack at gifts that can get to you in time for Christmas, including Alexis Hudson bags and Theory clothes and accessories. Both special offers end tomorrow around 11 EST - so go get that one size 10 stretch wool blazer that's left!

Also? If you refer a friend to Rue La La, you'll get $10 as soon as she makes a purchase. But Cool Mom Picks is referring you out of the goodness of our fashion-loving hearts. Just log onto  RueLaLa.com, click on "invited by a member," and type in VIP@ruelala.com as the referral address. It's our gift to you.  -Liz
