There are 2 kinds of Shoppers Remorse.

1) I shouldn’t have bought that. It’s silly, didn’t even fit me right… or… I can’t really afford it.
2) I will wait and think about it. Returning on your second visit to buy the item, you learn it’s sold out or no longer available in your size.

Here are some tips on how to deal with shopper remorse - but really more so with the first kind listed above. (more…)

A 2003 California class action suit for cosmetics keeping prices too high is paying off today by department stores literally giving away free products.

If you purchased department store cosmetics between May 1994 and July 2003 than you qualify for the free products - but here’s the SWEET part. You don’t have to show a receipt, so I’m thinking a whole lotta people will be taking advantage of this offer.

In total they are giving away $175 million dollars worth of products, it starts today and goes for the next 7 days or until products run out.

Want to know what products you can get for free today??? (more…)

Esprit use to be my favorite clothing company. My 6th and 7th grade first day of school photos feature me decked out in head to toe Esprit. Of course, I only was allowed Esprit clothes if they were on the 75% off rack at Dillard’s. One summer, right before school, we went to visit family in Dallas and we got to go to the giant Esprit outlet. I still drool over the thought of that outlet.

The clothes were bold, fun and trendy. Most of the time they had Esprit blazoned all over them but at 12 that was the point of my clothing choices. A couple of years ago, much to my delight, they opened a store in Manhattan. I anxiously awaited the funky, bright colors that permeated my middle school life and when it finally opened I made a point to go their as soon as possible. Imagine my disappointment when I went to the store and saw a sea of black pants and monochromatic shirts. What happened? My beloved clothing line was boring.

Today I find Esprit totally mundane. Occasionally, when I find my way into the store or on their website, I find a cute piece but it tends to be accessories. This week they are having a 20% off sale if you use coupon code Labor 07. Below is a cute bag and belt that I found in the sale section. At an additional 20% off they are a definitely a bargain.

Albeit it’s in the Sale section, Yes Bargain Styling shops at Macy’s . Like this Paisley-Print Wrap Dress from London Times. It used to be $99, it’s now selling for $28.99. Who would say no to that bargain? . This dress can be worn with any pair of black heels. I suggest a slingback. Where to wear it? Anywhere actually, well except when you’re doing your grocery shopping, heh. Church, Date Night, Party at the office, the possibilities are endless. During the Fall season, you can wear it with a black knee-high boots for that sophiisticated approach to the cold weather. So that $28.99 sale is worth the money.

I know you’ve all been dying to know what I managed to find myself this past Memorial Day sale. Let’s just say, I was a happy shopaholic. I shopped for the 4 of us. Great finds, great sale, great haulage. Woohoooo. Without further adieu, since I’ve made you wait long enough.

Blue L.E.I graphic tee with gathered ruched hem on the sides and puff-cap sleeves. Originally $17, after 75% off, I only paid $4.25

GAP is getting rid of their Spring items by taking 75% off the original prices. NICE. If only I shop there a lot. Or if I shop there at all..LOL. I mostly go to the GAP Kids. For some reason, the sales clerk at the Kids department are more friendly. They greet people as they come in and very accomodating while you’re perusing the children’s clothings. While on the other side of the store are a bunch of snotty clerks who couldn’t be bothered to smile at anyone. They’re usually behind the counter gossiping about someone. This is my experience from the few GAP stores I’ve been to anyway. Maybe because I was pushing a stroller that they thought “OMG, she couldn’t possibly afford and wear GAP clothes”. Ah, the humanity.

Now that I gotten that off my system, let me show you the stuff I would buy from their 75% off Sale if I shop there.

First skirt is light blue geometric eyelet skirt. I love the flirtyness of it. If you’ve known me long enough, you know I adore eyelet designs. As much as I love polka-dots prints like the second skirt. It has a ruffle pleated trimmed waist with ribbon belt. The hem is tiered. Purrrrrty.

Of course when I saw this white tiered empire dress, I had to include it in my virtual shopping cart . You know I love white dresses, especially the eyelet ones. I couldn’t say no to the black eyelet empire dress either. The ruffled trim and scallopped hem weren’t too shabby either.

I might have a few more coming up from the GAP 75% OFF SALE. Virtual shopping is definitely more enjoyable than shopping at their store, heh. Except the Children’s section. I love them, just want to reiterate that part :).

How about you take advantage of their sale yourself. Do it virtually or at their store, your pick

I said, in a few days but I couldn’t help myself when I clicked the dress category that is waiting for me at 15dollarstore.com. And Boy did I find some gorgeous ones. I just had to continue my online retail therapy.

White dress during the Summer is an item everyone should have. If you find one with a floral embroidery graphic detail on it, well, you just hit the jackpot. I mean look at this dress. *SIGH*

(more…)

I’m still in a retail therapy mood. Online that is. But trust me, I am waiting patiently for the Memorial Sale that I know is going to happen this weekend at the Air Foce Base that we frequent during the weekends. Remember my $4 Ralph Lauren top? How about the $8 UNIONBAY pants? Just check out my Friday’s Bargains after reading this post to get an idea of the kind of deals that awaits me this weekend.

Anyway, here are more tops that is helping this ailing fashionista right now. Wait till you see how much they are and where I found them

(more…)

The colors are vibrant. First one is Teal, 2nd is Daffodil yellow, the last one is Jetty Grey. The graphics certainly add cuteness to this summery tank top from American Eagle. The front AND back V necklines gives a sexy touch which I never say no to . Just a little bit, not too much, of course. For $14.95, Hey, bring on the humidity .

Any of these tank tops would look great with either jeans, shorts or skirts. BTW, there’s also a white version of that Daffodil one but I didn’t include it here since I was only going for the colors .
