Welcome to my blog!

I have a passion for fashion but I wouldn’t consider myself a “fashionista.” Dressing head to toe in Chanel, Galliano, or Stella McCartney would be my idea of a perfect world but realistically, I can’t afford it nor do I live the lifestyle! I am an ordinary girl living an ordinary life but I like to “look good." For the last 15 years, I have found a way to keep up with current fashion trends without owning a black, Titanium American Express card. It’s simple, I shop at thrift stores and discount racks. Shopping at thrift stores is eco-friendly and is a sure place to find that unique piece no one else has. I cannot count the number of times I have drooled over a pair of boots or jeans I saw in a fashion magazine and later find at a discount rack or thrift store. Who cares if its the real thing! Looking good on a dime isn’t difficult, it's easy. All it takes is having a little patience and time. I love to share, so consider me your personal stylist.

Tips for Saving Money Using "Coupon Codes"... It Really Works!!!

For the last few years I have shopped online for most of my closet finds.  I have just recently come across a few websites where I have saved money using discount coupon codes and I want to pass it along to you.  It really works... I just bought a pair of booties on sale with an additional 15% off and only paid $1 for shipping!

Here are the steps to follow to save money online:

1.  Sign-up to be on a stores mailing list, especially the big retail stores.  They will email you their current promotions and periodically send % off coupons.
2.  Save $ using coupon codes. Go to http://www.couponcabin.com/, type in the name of the store of your choice.  You will then see if that store has any coupon code savings available.  Next step is to save the code (write it down or copy/paste).   When you are ready to make a purchase at the store you have selected the coupon code, type in or copy/paste the code at check-out... instantly you will see the savings. *Sometimes a store will not have a coupon code available but don't fret, keep checking back daily.
3.  Keep a list of your favorite stores saved in your "favorites."  This helps save time when searching for discounts.
