After going right to the vendor’s site for the flip-flops I wanted to gift to a friend for Christmas, and finding out the color/size combo I needed was sold out, I started the dreaded online search. You know, where you don’t know where the fulfillment center is located, if you’ll get the item in time, or if the site/store is even legit. I was so amazed to stumble upon the Purple Plum boutique, just one county away from me, who had exactly what I was looking for. I made the order with confidence, and after that I got email updates on my order, it arrived quickly and by the way, my friend LOVED her flip-flops! Such a lucky find!
