News for you

So while I’ve been on sabbatical, a few things have caught my eye:

#1 OPI is coming out with a new line of nail polish in celebration of the Muppet movie coming out this November. The colors are great for the holidays. My favorites are Meep Meep Meep, Wocka Wocka and Rainbow Connectioni. Check them out on  


 
#2 My photographer friend (hi Kelly!) has been telling me about Piniterest. It’s like an online collage of your favorite things ranging between clothing and home. If you’re thinking about starting one on fashion, you should also check out http://www.polyvore.com/. This is my new favorite website! It’s a great way to piece together items you think you might love to buy while staying in budget (it gives you the price and designer name).  

#3 There are a lot of great contests our there for fashionistas. There's a few that were giving away gift cards, trips to New York or a day with a stylist. Check out Glamour and Lucky magazines for cool contests like these.
I recently took the Marshall’s challenge. The contest required that you purchase a head to toe designer look from Marshall's for under $150.00. I succeeded, and then some ;)   Unfortunately, my rounter broke and I missed the deadline for the contest. But that’s ok. I ended up with a ton of great buys including a Tommy Hilfiger purse for only $24! It's similar to a Nine West purse ($99) that I was craving for fall but for a fraction of the cost. I will definitely be going back to Marshall's!

Don't forget to check your local Goodwill and discount markets for cool costumes. It'll save you lots of $ and give you the opportunity to be creative. Happy Halloween my fashionistas! :)
