It's not often that you find relatively new designer goods at low prices.

It's not often that you find relatively new designer goods at low prices. Aloha Rag's sale is one of those rare times so bust out your plastic and stake your claim.

I'm seriously considering getting this Phillip Lim Pleat Back Dress, $300 (originally $750), because it is unique and that color is to die for. In the world of designer fashion, 300 bucks for a gorgeous dress is not bad. Just think about it: won't the money be worth it when I walk into the fantastic party and make every single head spin? I think so!

If you're not in the market for a dress, there's plenty of shoes, bags, jeans, top, skirts and jewels so there's no excuse not to take a peek.
