I want to drag someone to Instant Gratification...it's the first one so I'll let everyone know how good it is. I'm hoping that the Taverniti jeans I bought earlier this week are there for cheaper since I heard they're going to be one of the brands at the sale.
Thanks! Heard of a couple, but others are news to me... can I ask your source(s) kahluamilk? This weekend is super busy, I *might* hit up the UD blowout in the Valley on my way to Father's day activities, but other than that I just don't have time. Lilykind, are you going to pay $15 to go to Instant Gratification on Saturday? I could probably squeeze it in, but not sure I want to pay, especially since I don't know how it will be... I might check out Heist on my lunchbreak Thursday, I'll be sure to report back. Btw, can't they just have ALL the sales on the west side? I hate going downtown!

not kahluamilk, but the sample sales are from DailyCandy. I'm thinking about possibly hitting some of these sales because I have a few days off next week.
