Shopping Bag
The Cold Shoulder
It’s holiday time and you know what that means...shopping for party dresses. This season I decided I want to show a little skin. What better way to do it than with an off-the-shoulder cocktail dress?
I think I love you.
"I think I love you."
I remember the day we promised to be friends forever, I remember the irony, somehow the sourness of my heart is still there- you knew I loved you, D.
It was Christmas eve, we went out for gift shopping.
Luella Slashes Prices to Sell Off Old Stock!!
When we heard the sad news that Luella was threatened with closure, our thoughts immediately went out to the talented designer of the year and her team and we hoped a buyer would be found soon.
It wasn't many minutes after this, however, that the greed monster flashed in to our minds and we wondered if, perhaps, there might be a sale to end all sales as they clear the rails...? Well, with a mixture of sadness (30%) and delight (70%) we report that yes, a sale has started with dresses slashed from £365 to £182.50.
There is always first time for everything...online shopping. Yes or No?
I always knew they existed - I have seen their chic dresses, sexy heels and cool tops. I am talking about Topshop. I got even excited when I found out that they opened a store in NYC, although I live in Denver, Colorado. I must say things come around a lot slower around here and don't get me wrong, there are nice stores here, but it's not to the point where they satisfy my fashion cravings.
This is when the beauty of online shopping comes in handy. My friend Sophie loves to shop online. She says that it's the best because she can buy things anytime,even in 2 in the morning, not have to worry about driving to the mall ( and not finding anything at the mall!!) and in most cases there's no sales tax and a little shipping and usually the return and exchange are easy.
I must say I was never comfortable of buying clothes online. Shoes and bags, I'm OK with. With clothes, things are different simply because every brand has slightly different sizing and all. Topshop seemed no exceptions. It's from UK, and I know sometimes the equivalent of those sizes can be confusing...( look at H&Ms!)
One day, as I was looking through tons of pictures as always - new trends, jackets and coats for fall and winter. And there it was. I fell in love with this striped knit jacket from Topshop. I looked at the price and fell in love with it even more - it's only $80!!
Knitted Stripe Jacket
$80.00 at Topshop
I had to go to the store - but wait, there is no Topshop here in Denver! As I envied those folks in NYC, I went online. I quickly navigated myself to look for the jacket and there it was! I want, I want! Pause. What is my size?
Suddenly, I was lost. I usually wear 2 or 4, depending on the brand. I have jackets and tops that run rather smaller and larger and what????? While all those thoughts kept going around my head, I looked up on the sizing chart. Hmmm....I think I am 4 but I don't want it to be too tight since it's a knit jacket....oh well, let's just order 6 in case and if it didn't fit, I'd just exchange it.
How to Resist an Impulse Buy
We all have the following: savings goals, budgets, and, at time, little to no character check. Here is a nimble "how to" to get the second in line!FIND. Zero in on your penury.New Rob Interview with UK's Sunday Times
On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.Zip It Up Baby!
On my many shopping excursions this month, (too many to count!), I’ve noticed that stores are carrying lots of items with exposed zippers. Function now meets fashion! Everything from dresses, shoes, bags, belts and even headbands are covered in zippers.
Saving a Fabulous Dollar!
I was shopping at Carsons to kill time before seeing the movie, The Happening. A relative of mines, was looking for a nice simple purse to carry around. I was all nonchalant about shopping for a bag, because I stopped wearing them when I graduated from high school.Most reusable grocery store bags pay for themselves over time
Most reusable grocery store bags pay for themselves over time Published: Sunday, May 18, 2008 From the Press of AC: http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/106/story/161343.html ShopRite supermarkets this week increased their modest reward to customers who bring their own shopping bags - if those bags are reuseable. ShopRites had been giving customers 2 cents for each bag used, whether they were paper, plastic or cloth, as long as they brought them to the store. Now, if you merely bring back the paper or plastic bags grocers ordinarily use to pack your order, you still get 2 cents each.
