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.

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.
