Considering getting a barefoot dreams throw (the animal print). Will my cats’ claws damage it? I don’t think they’ve damaged my sweater. They don’t intentionally destroy things but I had one blanket that was instantly mutilated when they walked across it.
I have two of these throws — one for the sofa, and one for my bed. My kitty is a lap cat and a morning snuggler — I don’t have any snags in either (and one throw is 3 years old). I do trim his nails, but am not fastidious about it :smile:
 
Has anyone bought luggage from the sale? Specifically I’m looking at the Tumi carry-on. Is the sale quality the same as full price?

DH and I need to replace our old luggage and I’ve been looking at Tumi and Rimowa’s Essential line. Obviously the anni sale price on the Tumi is very attractive. I could get two for the price of one Rimowa, but I really want something quality that will last for years.

Hi I have Rimowa luggage and would totally recommend it. It’s lightweight so you are not wasting your luggage allowance on the case. It’s really well designed and easy to move as the wheel system is fantastic. I’ve had back surgery which it why I splurged. I bought a carry on first and have subsequently bought two other sizes. I can’t comment on Tumi as I never owned it.

Ive noticed if I havent trimmed my cats claws and she is in my lap with the blanket, and "making biscuits", threads do get pulled. It isnt noticeable on the blanket though!
 
Anyway, I asked earlier but it got buried. Do I need to make an appointment to shop early with my pass? I haven't pre-saled in the store in like 8 years. I've just done online for early access. I don't know how it goes anymore, and I don't know any SAs.

Does anyone have an SA that they like at the Stonebriar store in Frisco, TX?
Don’t waste your time to go to stonebriar, I know it’s a hike but go to north park if you can. The inventory level there and options are night and day, galleria would be second choice.

There are so many "Influencers" who have gone relatively quiet on the sale (compared to before), something has to be up, business-wise. Shows you how phony so many of them are.
I’ve never been one to hop on the “influencer train” because I feel like most of them say whatever great things they have to about a product to get paid. Don’t really trust anything they “recommend”. Not at all surprised by this news of them returning all that stuff.
 
Can anybody clue me in on who the "well known influencers" were?
I dislike the whole influencer marketing strategy and I notice that this year, my YouTube feed is not as clogged with NAS hype which is a bit of a relief.
But the very few bloggers that I watch seem to still be there.
Probably Pink Peony and her sister Ivory Lane. I haven’t been following them as closely but they would show case a lot of items but their daily outfits were something else. They used to be authentic and good mix of high and low.
I really like crystalin Marie, she is petite and very relatable, she does great job of reusing what she has in her closet.
 
Oh! I meant to ask…. I need undie recs. I’ve been wearing commando butter boy shorts for years (love the raw edges and no lines showing through clothes), but they are so expensive and don’t last long enough for the price.
Any suggestions? I’ll check out Natori bliss mentioned above… others?
I have been buying the Chantelle hipsters for the past few sales but I found a discontinued Natori boy short at the Rack and bought all I could get my hands on. I love them so much and have since discovered basically no one is making a boy short anymore. My Covid lbs are in my belly (along with my pre Covid lbs) so I want something higher than a bikini but not a full brief. I will be following to see what recommendations you get!
 
I read that cat claws may snag it. I wanted a Barefoot Dreams throw, but instead picked up a Bliss throw years back and it still looks great (and doesn’t attract fur).

Cats haven’t snagged my BD sweaters, but they aren’t making biscuits or napping on them, either! YMMV

:smile:
I have 5 cats and my barefoot dreams blanket has held up pretty well. If there are snags, they are few. And i have one cat who makes biscuits on it before he naps.

I don't know if they qualify as mega but Shaeffer and Shay have both been silent on the sale. I quit paying attention to their recommendations when I figured out how quickly Shaeffer will pivot from promoting one company over another (so obvious who she's partnered with that month). I've already seen some affiliate links on this thread (which I can avoid if its allowed now but just wanted to make others aware).
 
I definitely went for the socks this yr. I got the three pack last yr, and I think it was the best buy of the sale for me. I was kicking myself that I didn't buy more of them. I'm thinking about the Olaplex, never used it before. Got plenty of leggings and bike shorts. And True & Co, don't put anything out in my size.

I'm a plus size, and while there is a lot that just isn't there this year, I still found plenty.
