The sample sale sites have become overwhelming. I don’t know about you, but I have narrowed down my “favorites” to a select few who have the following criteria: a) Reputable brands that aren’t ridiculously out of my price range. b)  Fantastic customer service that cares about you, not just about your purchases. c) CREDITS!

JoJolie – A Different Kind of Sale

Nov 24.09 / Lindsay

Over the last 10 months, the internet-fashion world has been completely overrun with “sample sale” sites. …as we well know, because I fully support the idea! But, if you’ve seen the Event Calendar lately, you’ll get the impression either that a) I’m lazy, or b) there are so many sales on a weekly basis that [...]
