Buy smart, save on what you really want!

I have a few shopping rules. Here they are.

Rule #1
Don’t go shopping in a bad mood. You end up buying more than you planned as your thoughts will be preoccupied with the problem at hand.
Do go shopping to celebrate your accomplishments. You know better how to reward yourself.

Rule #2
Don’t set yourself daily spending limits. You’ll break them soon and your shopping trip turns into a guilt trip.
Do set yourself a reasonable monthly budget. You don’t want debts as you don’t want to feel “daily limits”

Rule #3
Don’t prepare yourself a fixed shopping list. It will take your precious time and remove the fun part from your shopping trip entirely.
Do know what you need to complete or extend a certain outfit, so you’ll have a starting point in your shopping.

Rule #4
Don’t buy stuff because it’s 70% off only because it’s 70% off. You have limited space in your closet, no matter the size of it.
Do have a reasonable expectations of the designer, style and your size. Clothing sizes S or M, 2, 4 or 6 will go fast, shoes sizes 7, 7.5, 8 and 8.5 will go even faster. If you want a new runway Diane Von Furstenberg dress, you’ll probably buy it for the full price or you miss it. If you want a new Juicy Couture top, you’d better wait till season sales.

Happy shopping!

ps. You can save big on this Vivienne Westwood Anglomania tunic dress. Accessories are built in already, just get your favorite flats (remember the mice ?) and you’re ready to go.

Don’t lose your chains

Don’t lose your chains, get a good use of ‘em!

This is my first look when all the pieces are key pieces. Platform Flower Wedge by Chloe, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, and the denim dress by Stella McCartney make my heart go faster. And don’t forget about the bow hat, Annick Goutal perfume and the glasses.

ps. I’m sure your mom will be happy to borrow your perfume, Annick Goutal is ageless.

Gifts for Mom

I love clothes. One of the best gifts for me as a mom would be something like that. I know, they grow up so they won’t be able to get a use those up completely.
I also know that there are traditions to keep first baby shoes in your car in some countries. It will be fun to keep those Marc Jacobs mice for baby, so cute. There are funny Ts for boys too.

Sales! Sales!

Hooray, summer is just around the corner and sales hit the stores big time. Stella McCartney for kids is on sale already after being in stores only 3+ weeks. That’s pretty fast I must admit. Her first collection went on sale after two full months of full price presence. So if you didn’t get the Tiger or the Superhero Ts for your kids it’s just the right time to do so, although not all sizes are available.

Summer Best Bridesmaid Dress

April 26th, 2010 Posted in Accessories, Women's Clothing Tags: , , ,

What is summer time for you? Just sun? Outdoors? Bright hues? Often outfit changes (I loathe spending time on switching my purses. May be I’ll get backup keys and cosmetic bags for all of them.)? Vacation time? Yes, all of those are included plus it’s wedding season ;) Although I’m not getting married this summer, I’m starting looking for a nice bridesmaid outfit, just in case. And don’t forget about an uncommon gift. Steiff bear is a do.
