Lots of Sample Sales This Weekend and Next!
I haven’t been good about posting sales lately but these are too good not to mention. Anyone going? I’ve been a long time devotee of Mike & Chris and Rachel Pally sample sales but this time, I’ve decided not to go. Thank goodness, I didn’t. But don’t let that stop you from going. Let us know what deals you’ve scored! I might check out the Goldenbleu and Michelle Mason sales next weekend.
