I've heard of this place before--I think on one of those fashion shows or something....if this is your thing....today's Mamapedia Sweet Deal is $40 for Academy Award Red Carpet designer clothes from Rent the Runway:

Why this deal is so sweet:

Whether you’re heading to a wedding, high-school reunion, or Vegas vacation, step out in style with a borrowed gown from Rent the Runway. Instead of relying on the same old standby or spending hundreds of dollars on a dress you’ll wear only once, you can slip into an amazing designer gown at a price that won’t bust your budget, and then return it after the event. It’s the next best thing to your very own Fairy Godmother.

About the company:

Rent the Runway was founded by Harvard MBAs, Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss, who wanted to give budget-conscious women the chance to dress like princesses without the royal price tag. Featured on the Today Show, Oprah, Vogue, InStyle, and more, the company has built relationships with the industry’s top designers to make high fashion accessible to everyone.

Sounds pretty cool.  Visit the Mamapedia website to check it out.  Remember, 5% of your purchase will be donated to the school or preschool of your choice!  Have fun!

Today's Groupon ATL deal is an internet deal, which means EVERYONE can take advantage of it.  It's $45 for $100 worth of designer dress and accessory rentals from Rent the Runway.  Here are the details:

The second law of thermodynamics and the first law of Nelly lyrics hold that ambient heat and clothing have an inverse relationship. Disturb the natural order with today's Groupon: for $45, you get $100 worth of designer dress and accessory rentals from Rent the Runway, redeemable online. Rent the Runway has received a slew of positive press, including recognition as One of the Best 50 Websites of 2010 from Time magazine.

Rent the Runway is an online haven populated by beautiful designer dresses and accessories waiting to be rented by fashion-forward women who dare to experiment with new brands but don't want to commit to buying a piece. Rent the Runway carries more than 100 designers' wares, and the way it works begins with you rifling through a virtual Versailles of fashion organized by date, occasion, style, or designer until you stumble across the Chosen One—the garment foretold in legend that that will fulfill fantasies of fairytale love and transform former friends-with-benefits into former friends-with-regrets. Be the designated belle of the ball in a Badgley Mischka Heavenly Halter Gown (rental $100; retail $700), or stop Segway traffic in Haute Hippie's Little Miss Vixen Dress (rental $75; retail $695). A venerable variety of accessories ($10–$65) can also be added, including headbands, bracelets, and necklaces. Book your completed look for your desired dates, and Rent the Runway will send the show-stopping ensemble to your doorstep along with an extra size for no charge to ensure the ideal fit. Rentals are for four or eight days, and once you've wowed the crowd at the annual Star Trek convention's formal gala, simply send the garment back in the pre-paid envelope provided.

Two Harvard Business School students began Rent the Runway to solve one of life's eternal paradoxes—having a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. Fall brings plenty of occasions to show off your killer sense of style, so seek out a designer outfit for your next wedding, holiday party, or pet gerbil funeral anniversary.

New clients only. Valid toward $5 insurance charge to cover dress or accessory damage.
