If you waited in line for four hours to snag a pair of discounted Louboutins and didn't find any of the designs you wanted, you might have someone to blame. When Blake Lively stopped by the sample sale's VIP preview last week, she spent four hours inside, picking up over 40 pairs of the red-soled shoes. Granted, scooping up marked-down Loubies as gifts for your sisters and friends is pretty genius and pre-holiday responsible, but it could also explain why there wasn't a huge selection the next day. If one person scooped up this many pairs, who knows what the other VIPs snagged? The rich and famous: Always keeping the Louboutins for themselves. [WWD]
