Kohl’s Giveaway Winner #2

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Congratulations to Nicole W. who is one of two winners of my Kohl’s $25 gift card contest. Nicole emailed me her favorite Kohl’s shopping story which includes a few lessons on how to save money with Kohl’s coupons. Here it is below. Enjoy!

“Recently, my future mother-in-law received a 30% off coupon for Kohl’s in the mail. She offered to take me and my daughter shopping for next year summer and a perhaps a few winter clothes for the upcoming season. I was excited at the great deal but declined because even with the coupon I just couldn’t afford to go shopping. Then she offered to put it on her Kohl’s card, which offered additional $10 cash back for every $50 we spent. SWEET! I could spend $50, surely. We trucked to Kohl’s, with baby in tow, and we felt like we hit the jackpot!

They were having a mega sale! We hit the 50%, 60%, and 70% off racks. I found a few cute things for me but felt like I won the lottery in the toddler section. After searching, matching, pairing and estimating my daughter’s size for next summer, we walked out of there with six complete outfits.
We didn’t stop there though. We managed to hit three total Kohl’s in a matter of three days. My closet is stocked with five fresh, work-ready tops, three new sweaters and my daughter’s closet is ready for next summer!

The value of our purchase was over $600, but thanks to the 30% off coupon and cash back coupons we only spent $175.00! Thank you Kohl’s!”

Live Green, Dress Sustainably

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

From the pages of Fashion Pulse Daily, learn how to be more eco-conscious while remaining stylish.

 

I love shopping, but I just can’t help but feel a tad guilty every time I invest in another mother-earth-will-cry-when-I-wear-this kinda number.

I know that the clothing industry contributes to global warming, air and water pollution, and tons of waste, but I really can’t bring myself to be Goodwill’s number one customer.  Don’t get me wrong, thrift and consignment shopping is awesome, especially in economic times such as these, but once in a while I want something new of my own.

So what’s a girl to do?  Find cute, eco-conscious clothes that don’t make you look like you’re wearing a sack of potatoes.  And that’s exactly what I have done.  All of these have been cuteness certified by yours truly, so feel free to go ahead and splurge!

Plato’s Closet:  This is one of my personal faves.  It’s a consignment shop, but this place is anything but shabby.  They have tons of designer jeans for super cheap – plus they’re pre-broken in.  I also sell a lot of my clothes here because you get money up front instead of having to wait the 10 years for your senior prom dress to finally sell.  Cute clothes, money in your pocket, and green shopping – what more could you ask for?  Check out the Plato’s Closet website for locations in your area!

Good Society Denim: Now to move on to the new stuff.  The best thing about Good Society denim is that their clothes look like high quality designer jeans with all the benefits of an organic label.  They only use 100% fair trade organic denim, making all of their products entirely sustainable.  The top of my wish list is their Straight Cut Denim in Raw, which, at the semi-meager price of $93 (hey, it’s cheap compared to the $210 True Religions everyone is wearing), is soon to become a reality.

Stewart and Brown: Established in 2002, Stewart and Brown is one of the top non-granola-y green brands out there.  They have a cute, Urban Outfitters-esque style featuring clothes only made from 100% organic cotton grown from non-genetically modified seeds and other sustainable fabrics.  Plus, they donate 1% of their profit to various charities to keep giving back.  Pick up one of theircute dresses and then bask in your eco-conscious glory.

Beyond Skin:  100% of Beyond Skin’s shoes are vegan and made from entirely earth-friendly materials such as polyurethane leather and polyester satins.  And like Stewart and Brown, Beyond Skin donates a percentage of their profits to environmental and social projects.  I personally recommend the Cherub pumps in black hemp (you can’t even tell it’s not leather).  All products are shipped from England, so it’s not the most eco-conscious thing for us Americans, but it’s definitely better than the fugly pleather alternatives.

On My Shopping Radar: The Trend Boutique

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

“We don’t just sell trends, we sell the trends you want to wear.” That’s how The Trend Boutique describes itself, and after perusing the pages of this delicious retail website, I definitely agree. Coveting something you saw on Vanessa Hudgens? You’ll find it at The Trend Boutique. With brands like Free People, House of Harlow 1960, 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent and so much more, you will find yourself in a hypnotic daze as you browse great styles and a great selection of fashion.

You can shop by category, including a special “Under $100″ department. That’s one of my first stops. You can also shop by brand, so if you’re label-obsessed, you can easily select your favorite brand, such as Rachel Pally, and gaze at her pretty, femme designs.

On the hunt for something new to update your wardrobe? Shop The Trend Boutique’s “New Arrivals” section for what’s hot now. Of course, I’m a bargainista, so the first department I like to shop is the sale section. I recommend you check out The Trend Boutiques’s Sale, too, because you can save an extra 25% off their entire sale selection by using the code: Lollie25.

Need some help deciding on which fashionable bargain to nab? My favorite sale picks are below. Remember, use code Lollie25 and save an extra 25% off sale items at The Trend Boutique. Happy shopping!

Postella Belted Dress: Was $198, now $158.40. Use code Lollie25 and this work chic dress is now $118.80.

 

I ADORE this Plenty by Tracy Reese Embroidered Strapless Dress. I would wear it with a faded denim jacket and a pair of slouchy boots. It was $275, but it’s on sale for $199.99. Use code Lollie25 and this boho chic dress is $149.99.

 

I think this Pencil Dress by Nu Collective would make a great holiday or New Year’s Eve frock. But, it’s classic, so you could also wear it anytime of the year. It was $241 and it’s now on sale for $179.99. Use code Lollie25 and this metal-licious dress comes out to $134.99.
