Vision Board Party on a Dime

Posted On Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Today I’m deviating from the normal budget fashion and thrift tips to tell you guys how I spent my weekend. My friends and I hosted a vision board party. I’m a serious believer in the power of words and positive thoughts so my girl Danielle, The Frugal Fatshionista, and I decided to get together with the girls for a night of sharing our future hopes and goals with one another.

And of course we had a great time without spending much cash. We set the scene at Danielle’s place. We had affordable eats {everyone brought something to snack on and some takeout from Domino’s} and items like plates, forks and even plastic wine glasses were from the dollar store. Seriously, the dollar store is my go-to place for party decorations and settings.

Loehmann’s Fall Preview

Posted On Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Though you guys know I’m a thrifting queen, I love a great deal at any store I go to. So when Loehmann’s invited me to their blogger event last week, I jumped at the opportunity to attend. They offer top designer names for up to 60 percent off the original price.

Stylist Felix Mercado gave us the dish on fall’s hottest trends {red, sheath dresses, oversized bags}, we met fashion icon and 90 year old fly girl Iris Apfel and they gave us $300 to shop with.
