Sex and the City 2: The Looks for Less
The fab foursome is on the way back, when Sex and the City Part Two hits theatres on May 27th. According to Fandango, ticket sales for this one are out pacing sales for the first movie. In my opinion, this should be no surprise. First, we love these four characters and the story of their [...]

Lucky Magazine Brings a Summer Capsule Collection to HSN
Today is the second day that Lucky Magazine is featuring a designer shopping collection on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). I read about the collection last week in Lucky Magazine when I was on a plane. It’s certainly an interesting collaboration. The collection features Thread by Thread Social and F + C by Anna Corina.

The Recessionista Accepts AJ Wright’s Ultimate Shopping Challenge
Pictured: My favorite find from AJ Wright my new BCBG Ballet Slippers for $19.99, a savings of $30.00.

New Norma Kamali at Walmart, Maxi Dresses Swimsuits and More

Sponsored Post: Using Membership Rewards Points for my Home Project
Last week I cheerfully posted on how I had accepted an offer from American Express to demonstrate all the things you can buy with Membership Rewards points. Since that post, I’ve been evaluating my options for refashioning/refurbishing my home entertainment center using Membership Rewards points. Frankly, it’s been a little overwhelming trying to decide how [...]
Milly Sample Sale today!
I’m up super early today to get first dibs on the Milly sample sale at new shopping club Modnique.com. This was not on my radar until I tuned into Twitter early this am when Style Salt (ssfashion) sent out a tweet on it. I’m glad I saw, it because I adore Milly. I had the [...]
Jeans: We’re Spending More and Shopping Longer
Does anyone recall the moment when jeans became a luxury item? Was it when Brooke Shields did those Calvin Klein ads? Or maybe when heiress Gloria Vanderbilt lent her Park Avenue style to her own line of jeans. It’s funny to think that a brand developed by Levi Strauss in the late 1800s for working [...]
