I’ve always done better online than at the store on launch day. If I’m going to be sleep deprived, I prefer being so at home. BTW, It would be courteous to give credit to the photos being used. Please include Instagram handles or link to the original.

I did my research on the online shopping strategy, and with help from Twitter links, was shopping before 9PM PST. My store was low key compared to some! I feel so lucky! I summed up my thoughts in my review. What did you think of the collection?
