What did we do before the online sample sale phenomenon?

We begged, fought and blagged our way into designer sales (usually located in a warehouse somewhere), just so that we could get our hands on that incredible bargain.

My how times have changed!

So…it’s about that time again, when we take a look at what’s on offer over at Gilt Groupe. Today, it’s a must that you check out the Proenza Schouler sale. With up to 70% off, you’re bound to find something fab.

If the design duo aren’t your cup of tea, there’s also Lauren Moffat, Robert Marc Sunglasses, Tara Jewelry and my favourite Temperley London sales going on too. All sales start at 12pm (est).
