The S Word


But, I also know that I am a sucker for good prices.
The only way to save my debit card from going into the negative is to create a list.
If I don’t, I end up with summer blow out pieces that I don’t know how to wear in fall.
About 2-3 weeks prior to any holiday sale, I start taking notes of all the things I want.
For Labor Day, I am looking towards fall fashion. 
I then play around in my closet a little bit, seeing what I can create with what I have and what my closet is lacking.
I also try to see what non-traditional fall colors are being used this fall to try to buy some of those pieces on sale.
This year, I’ve seen a lot of light pink in fall trends.
I’ve also seen a lot of blues- bright, dark and light.
Light pink and light blue are colors used during summer, so I may keep my eyes out for them.

Here are some sales that I definitely plan to take a better look at-
The Limited: 30% off Markdowns (no code needed)
The Loft: 50% off full price items (Code:SHOP50), 50% off sale items (no code needed)
Forever 21: 50% off SELECT sale prices (Code: LABORDAY) **careful, this is for select pieces- not all sales
Express: 40% off every single item (no code needed)


At a quick glance, here are some of my favorites...











Happy shopping!!

If you're going to Europe...

... You're going to need a fanny pack.


One of my best packing decisions for Europe was my American Apparel fanny pack. Donnie picked it up for me last minute and it was amazing.

I love fanny packs for so many reasons.
1. You have nothing around your arms- hello freedom.
2. It limits the things you can bring- travel lightly.
3. It is safe- goodbye pick-pocketers.

So if you're going to Europe, do yourself a favor and bring a fanny pack!
