If you’re
reading this blog, I’m guna go out on a limb and say that you’re probably intimately
familiar with the phenomenon known as the online flash sale…annnddd, as such,
probably a huge fan of Gilt.com. Sure,
online flash sales are impulse buying at its finest, but we all know there’s
nothing quite like the feeling of finding those perfect Prada shoes, that you
absolutely want need, for like, 50 percent off.
This
weekend, the geniuses at Gilt are taking the online flash sale to whole other
level and are holding a Warehouse Sale at the Miami Iron Side. The sale will feature designers like Zac
Posen, Helmut Lang, Brian Atwood, Carolina Herrera and Badgley Mischka, all discounted
up to 90%.
That being
said, all of you reading this from South Florida, put your mouse down and step
away from the computer. Yes, I know it
says the sale starts in 00:00:32, but I promise, sitting there hitting refresh over
and over, trying to time your next mouse click so that it perfectly coincides
with the sale start time of 12:00 EST is no way to go through life (BTW, I’m totally
not judging, we’ve all been there). Instead,
head out to the Miami Iron side this Friday or Saturday, and shop your favorite
Gilt merchandise in person, and, you
know, like, actually try stuff on.
The
Warehouse Sale will be held on Friday, February 8th from 9:30-11:30 pm and
Saturday February 9th, from 9 am-5 pm at the Miami Iron Side, 7610 NE 4th
Court, Miami, FL 33138. Tickets are available for purchase at: www.giltcity.com/miami/miamiwarehouse2013. Tickets include complimentary refreshments by
AQUAhydrate and CocoCafe, an onsite bar sponsored by La Marca Prosecco, music
by a live DJ, and a complimentary garment bag with purchase.
Also,
attendees are invited to Tweet and Instagram photos of their purchases using
hashtag #RaidtheWarehouse for a chance to win a $100 Gilt Credit.
