This weekend has been a great girl's weekend! I hit Bucktown today in Chicago which is an area of trendy shops that are a lot of fun to visit. This New York girl was very happy to see a lot of things that I typically don't see! We spent a lot of time looking in home stores and I have to say for those that are moving, sprucing and more - there are many ways to add your style back into your home. I am such a fan of these pieces which you can access (they remind me of items that I saw in various stores). Take some time to check these out and more!

Treasure Tuesday: Tight Economy With Options

Nov11

Yes the economy has everyone rethinking items but at the same time, if you feel you have a little something there are a lot of options out there! With deals being thrown at us from every direction, you can get amazing items at a fraction of the price and it's not even Christmas yet! Of course the benefit for us puts a huge squeeze on the retailers themselves but it's a difficult situation and in order for them to put new merchandise out, they need to get what's on the floor moving. No one knows more about moving product like Forever 21 who announced yesterday that they would open a location on 1540 Broadway - um yeah Times Square! With 100,000 square feet, that's not only a lot of people but it's a huge amount of inventory. I love popping into my local Forever 21 and am usually there for an hour as you really need to see everything before settling in but how long will it take to go through this one? Check out great finds at Forever 21 and make sure to read your papers to see what deals are being offered at many of your favorite stores! If you know of one, leave a comment so that we can all benefit!

Sippin Saturdays: Kicking Off the Holiday Season With Sheryl Crow

Nov01

It's official! We're in the holiday season now and that means I can start listening to my holiday tunes! I love listening to many of the classic and new songs that get you into the spirit of things and makes you want to run into Starbucks for a Pepppermint Latte. This season Cheryl Crow is releasing her first Christmas CD in Hallmark stores. Home For Christmas was released exclusively through the Gold Crown stores on Oct 11th through the end of December. Enjoy listening to a sample of this song and stop in at any one of 3500 stores to make your holiday bright! Happy kick off to the holiday season!

Fashionable Fridays: Shop Smart

Nov16

Logo When it comes to shopping, a deal makes you want to buy more. When you get one, you want to pass it on. I love signing up for emails to be in the know; however, these days it seems like you need an email account to stay on top of all your favorite stores. Then again, you may want to have one source where you can click into your faves. Check out Retail Me Not! They will let you know about all the online sites that are currently running discounts. This is an absolute must to bookmark and you can finally have a one stop approach to getting your shopping done. Take this down and pass it around while you build your closets and shop for others!
