With less than two weeks until Christmas, maybe you're in a mad dash to find a great present for someone in your life {or yourself}. Or maybe you have the big gifts out of the way and need some ideas for stocking stuffers. Either way, I've got you covered with the picks below from two stores I love: Claire's and Mandee. They're fun, useful and everything is $20 and under. Also, these are great gifts to keep on hand and wrapped if you have any last minute guests stopping by.You probably have a set of headphones and a pair of earmuffs, but now you can combine the two. These earmuff headphones will keep you warm and in step with your favorite tunes.

thrifty threads 365 challenge, shopping challengeI have a problem. A serious problem. For as long as I can remember, I've rarely, if ever, been able to wear white without getting a stain on it. I always manage to spill a drink, get an ink stain or rub up against something. Due to this, I stay away from wearing white.

But I decided to stop letting that fear keep me from rocking the fresh, crisp hue. While thrift shopping in San Francisco, I found a vintage Adidas tennis skirt I desperately wanted. It fit me perfectly, but it was white. But it was also crazy cheap {the threads at Clothes Contact are $10 per pound}. I bought it and I'm so glad I did.I finally wore the mini with some bright additions while in New Orleans earlier this summer.

I'm a pretty busy woman. I don't say that to make myself feel important, but it's just an acknowledgment that my time is limited and I can't do it all. Besides running Looking Fly on a Dime, I'm the Savvy Shopper reporter for WPIX in NYC and I write for various websites and magazines. So yeah, I'm all over the place.And because I wear so many {stylish} hats, I'm finally making an effort to find an intern/assistant*. I need someone to pick up the slack where I can't.And exactly what does that mean. Well, the right person is:

Do you guys know what time it is? Yup, it's time for the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale. If you're not familiar with Housing Works, it's a chain of thrift stores in NYC and if you're not familiar with the Buy the Bag warehouse sale, then you're missing out.The $25 {it used to be 20 bucks} all-you-can-stuff-in-a-bag is hands down my favorite event. The warehouse location in Long Island City is full of deep bins with dresses, tops, pants, shoes, jackets and more. This is basically a...
