Reminder: Go set all your alarms, the Thomas Wylde Purse Sale that’s taking place at the online sample sale site HauteLook is set to kick off tomorrow morning (wednesday) @ 8:am sharp! And trust me –I have experienced many HL sales– you don’t want to be late. However, if you accidently hit the snooze and show up 5 min late only to see everything is on “HOLD”, check back.. sometimes in all the excitement people just shove them in their cart but then change their mind. Items reappear in about 15 minutes.
