Preschoolians

June 25th // 4 Comments

Being fashionable doesn’t just apply to us as individuals. It also applies to our kids and keeping them comfortable, yet looking good.

A while back, we added Preschoolians, a maker of shoes for babies to our list of Market America partners. Shortly after, Tiger Woods’ daughter was seen wearing the “Old School Freestyle Red Stars” by Preschoolians at the US Open Golf tournament.

These shoes come in many different styles and colors for your baby and are available for around $40! Hailed as Time Magazine’s “Coolest Invention Visu Fit Window,” Preschoolians ensure that your child is ready for cruising or taking that first step. Enjoy!

Designer’s Imports

June 24th // 1 Comment

A few entries back, I highlighted eLuxury.com for purchasing authentic Louis Vuitton handbags and accessories on the web portal. Just the other day, I ran across another site, Designers Imports, that offers handbags, sunglasses, scarves, wallets, not to mention shoes and eyewear from top designers like Coach, Prada, Chloe, Burberry, as well as many others.

Not only can you find great handbags (and possibly one to go with your new purchase from White House | Black Market), but you can also get them at a great price.

I found the following Zip Hobo Bag from Coach for around $250!


Designersimports.com offers a great selection of handbags and accessories for nearly any occasion. Not to mention, they are available at great prices!

White House | Black Market

June 23rd // 2 Comments

Did anyone happen to catch the show, The View, hosted by Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd? Yesterday’s guest was nothing short of amazing. Michelle Obama looked stunning in her black and white tank dress. If you all are not aware, tank dresses are the “it” fashion this summer! In addition, the use of floral accessories (as this dress clearly has on the strap) and leafy prints are hot as well!

While listening to Michelle Obama, I couldn’t help but notice how professional; yet relaxing she looked in her dress. Great for carousing around town or even in a business setting (with a nice black cardigan of course), this dress has it all! What was more surprising about Michelle’s outfit though, was the fact that the dress she was wearing looked like a very pricey $400 dress.

Not only was the dress that Michelle Obama was wearing very chic (and stunning on her), but it also didn’t break the bank. Her tank dress was a mere $148 from White House | Black Market, a recent partner store addition to marketamerica.com! Visit White House | Black Market to find this dress (keyword: tank leaf), along with many others!

This goes to show you that everyone loves a bargain!

Love,

Chico’s

June 17th // Comment Here

I hope everyone had a great Father’s Day with their Dad’s! We’ve been hard at work, continuing to bring you the stores you want!

We recently added Chico’s as a Market America partner store. With summer here, it is a good idea to remember that dressing during the summer doesn’t always mean wearing t-shirts and shorts. This year, colorful attire is very fashionable and with that, I found some great examples to help demonstrate this to you.

While shorts may be comfortable at times, they aren’t always practical. Try wearing a pair of light-weight pants or even a nice pair of crop jeans. Chico’s has the following jeans for a low $32. They are great for the weekend or nice to wear around town!

As I mentioned, color is in this year! Try a Zenergy Wildflower “saucy” tee, complete with lots of color. Although this is a t-shirt in a sense, it is a dressier one that won’t look like something you pulled out of the laundry. It is available at Chico’s for $48!

Tired of being cold when you’re out, but don’t necessarily need or want all the added bulk of a sweater or parka during the summer? Try the Kalista Jacket. It is very lightweight and will keep that chill away (no gloves or scarf required). It was also available at Chico’s for $118, which in my opinion is a great price.

Remember, you can still be fashionable, yet “centsible” when shopping!

Love,
Loren

FashionCents Style Tips – Pants…the long and short of it!

June 11th // 2 Comments

In continuing with our FashionCents Style Tips this week, today we wanted to focus on pants and shorts for Dad!

Yesterday, I mentioned how sandals and socks do not go together. The same thing can be said about jeans and shorts or jorts as they are commonly referred to. Jean shorts do not count as shorts, especially cut-offs. While they may be great for working around the yard, they don’t quite cut it when you’re going out.

For years, I had to constantly beg JR to get rid of his jean shorts. When I finally did, he didn’t realize what he had been missing out on. Shorts can come in many different styles. There are cargo shorts, linen shorts and the standard khaki pleated pair of shorts, not to mention shorts for working out that help wick-away sweat. While all of these shorts have a different application, many of them can be worn with a pair of sandals that I mentioned earlier, to help create a nice outfit that is both attractive and comfortable.

Since this is all about Dad this week, I wanted to bring to your attention a few great deals (not to mention, stores) that are available on the web portal.

First up is Macy’s. Remember how I mentioned that Born shoes were extremely comfortable? Try these Herringbone shorts from Tommy Bahama! JR is constantly raving about how they are so comfortable and lightweight. If there is anything you want to wear whether playing golf or just having dinner out, it is a pair of these. They are available for $72 right now!

While Herringbone shorts are not applicable in every situation, I figured I would look for something else a little more durable and laid back. Mark mentioned having the perfect white t-shirt. To complement this, I found a great pair of cargo shorts (in camo too!). This is a hot summer look when you’re wanting to relax and yet still look great! They were available at Cabela’s for only $15! A great deal if you ask me!

As the title suggests, this entry was about shorts…and pants. I found this great pair of Hugo Boss linen and cotton blended pants at Bloomingdale’s for $125, which are perfect for an evening out or a trip to the beach!

Until tomorrow…
