Last week I received a little piece of retail heaven in the mail...a $20 off coupon from DSW. You already know I love DSW but their coupons are an extra reason to love them. I made my way to the nearest store and walked away with a pair of platform sandals from Michael Kors. Originally $109.95, they were on clearance for 30% and with my $20 coupon, I walked away with a final price tag of $56.96.*happy dance*I love MK shoes and these are super comfortable.

One tip I can offer up when shopping the clearance rack, which is organized by size, is to never just stick to the section that has your size. I wear an 8 1/2 but searched all of the shoe sections (from 6 to 11). DSW is pretty organized but you never know when a stray 8 1/2 may have found it's way to the size 11 section.Click more to see the rest of the beautiful shoes I found as well as how to score great deals from DSW.

I never check my bags when flying. Seriously, I never (ever) check them. Besides the fact I'm afraid of my luggage being lost, I refuse to pay the fees. Though some airlines like JetBlue and Southwest allow you at least one checked bag for free, others charge on average $20 per bag.Other than Spirit airlines, which now charges for carry ons (how insane is that?), other airlines allow you two gratis bags to bring on the plane. The key is to effectively pack so you can save cash, but also have your necessities.Here's how I pack a single bag for a 10 day vacation.

I start out with a general checklist of clothing:
  • Dresses: they just make it super easy to get dressed. No need to worry about matching a top and a bottom, the dress is just one easy piece. Bring a mixture of casual day dresses and at least one LBD.
  • Jeans: dark denim is pretty versatile. They're great for day with a tank and sandals or with pumps.
  • Dress pants: a white or black dress pant is always great to take along.
  • Shorts: shorts or a romper depending on how you style it, can go from a day on the beach to a night on the town.
  • Tops: an array of neutral tops will go with everything in your bag. A black cardigan or jean jacket is essential for chilly nights.
  • Shoes: you really just need a comfy pair of flats, sandals, dressy heels in a neutral tone and maybe some sneakers.
