If there's a woman in your life who needs {and deserves} a bit of pampering, why not gift her bath and beauty products? She'll feel like she stepped in to a spa or salon, but it's cheaper and she doesn't even have to leave the comfort of her home. From bath sets to makeup palettes that flatter women of all shades, she'll love these picks. Oh, and everything's less than $100!
Argan oil works wonders for hair and skin and you can't go wrong with this six piece kit. They're travel-size, so perfect for a vacation or stashed in your purse for a mid-day touch up.

thrifty threads, looking fly on a dime

Since I put my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge on hiatus, I've had a few people ask if I've had a chance to shop for new clothes. Like I wrote in a previous post, though I gave up buying anything new for a full year, I didn't feel like I was being deprived of anything, so I didn't have a serious urge to shop for anything non-thrift store related. But I finally changed that last week.
My first purchase was two pairs of earrings from H&M. None of the clothes caught my eye too hard {I'm waiting for the Maison Martin Margiela collection}, but I had to have these earrings. The turquoise pair have a vintage-y feel and the disco ball ones are fun and flashy, just my style.

This past week has made one thing clear: Fall is here! I woke up on Saturday morning and temps were in the 40s. The 40s!! I have quite a few coats and jackets thanks to last year's Salvation Army coat sale {I bought 5 coats and jackets for $100} ** so I just threw on my fave leather jacket and a tribal print scarf.

But after stepping outside, I realized this weather has some folks confused. I saw some people in heavy parkas while others were just in sweaters. And it's hard not to be confused when it's in the 40s one day and the next the mercury is in the low 70s.
Luckily, there are quite a few jackets on the market that will keep you warm {but not too warm}, are stylish and less than $100.

Today Show fashion segment

Last week I told you guys about my upcoming Today Show appearance. Well, it aired live on Tuesday morning and hopefully you had a chance to watch it. But if not, you can check out the clip below. I also wanted to show you some behind the scenes photos.
The segment was about how women of all ages {they ranged from 30 to 61} and sizes {4 to 12} can rock trends. And since I'm all about a deal, everything was less $100.
Though I love printed garments, some people are a bit curious as to how to actually wear them. Check out the clip below to see various ways you can incorporate the trend in a way that works for you, from tips to mix prints to how to use accessories to jazz up your everyday wardrobe.
