usa vs. sweden

i got a lovely email last night regarding a 30%-60% off sale that began at chi-chi boutique opening ceremony, this morning. i was there at 11am with a few other stealthy shoppers. i left, however, purchase-less, since the one pair of shoes i had my eye on were lacking the benefits of sale prices. there is a bunch of good stuff available, however, if you're looking at items that have been marked down from their original $600 price tags.
