Sorry for the last minute notice, smartypanties…

Get that fab new color!

…and do your own nails, recessionistas!!

DailyCandy must have heard my pleas for sample sales.

Kinda…

Apparently, according to DailyCandy there are some high-end boutiques offering supposed “Sample Sales” this weekend.

I was so excited when I read the subject line, that I opened up my DailyCandy email (which, I honestly usually delete).

I read the email but, was disappointed to realize it’s some random promotion where if you bring in a print-out of your DailyCandy email the stores will give you UP TO 30% off.  (wtf?) 

Oh, DailyCandy Miami…we heart you, but you have so much to learn. 

Getting 30% knocked off of full price b/c you printed some email is NOT a sample sale…it’s just a random promotional sale…and not even a very good one at that.

Next time, please don’t use the sacred term SAMPLE SALE in vain.  Thankssssss.

**Sigh.**

I guess at least they’re making an effort…it’s hard in this city to find anything that even vaguely resembles a sample sale…at least they tried.

We’ll pass along the information anyway…I copy/pasted this from their email just so I can say I told you guys about it…but…eh…doesn’t really excite me as much as a real, good ole NYC sample sale would.

The rules:
1. The sale starts today and ends Monday, December 22.
2. To get the savings, take a copy of this e-mail to the boutiques.  (I

I have these and I love them. I wear them when it’s a little balmy out there and I’m not sure if I’m ready to commit to my rainboots. They keep my feet warm and dry too!
