Anyone else care to admit that their “Easter outfit shopping” ends up really being “spring wardrobe shopping”?

No? OK cool. We’ll keep it a secret.

Whether you’re shopping this week for your Easter outfit, or your backup Easter outfit, or maybe your backup to the backup…Fiore Boutique has what you need.

That simple sheath dress first pictured above is given a unique look with the scalloped edges, and the blue dress below it (which also comes in white) will give you the ability to bare your arms beautifully as the sleeves have slits.

They’ve got a great assortment of jewellery (those pave’ chain necklaces are winking at me and telling me to take them home), and some fabulous spring wedges that will go for miles this season and throughout the summer.

Fiore Boutique is located right inside the West Town Mall entrance across from Charming Charlie – so it’s easy to pop in, pick up what you need (and several things that you just want) and be on your merry way!

They’re also a great recourse for Piko tops! Whoop! Whoop!

If you buy from them online here, enter TheSpiff at checkout to recrive 10% off your order!

Discount Shopping is Like Kale for Your Soul (But Tastier)

April 15, 2015 No Comments

Shopping is good for you. And I can back that statement up, girlfriend, so just wait for it…

You’re walking around (exercise), you’re doing the math with discounts (left brain), and you’re creating outfits in your head (right brain). It’s a total mind and body work out. Which completely warrants shopping over squats (maybe not, but close enough).

Let me give you one big reason to work that mind and body…Fiore! This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about this store, or the second time…it’s the third because I’m such a big fan.

They’ve got a great selection of really cute and unique home items as well as gorgeous jewelry and clothes. Not to mention a really great selection of piko tops, which automatically gets me in there multiple times a week.

Look at all the Piko colors they’ve got!! :-D

Can you guess which shirt I’d be a big fan of? ;)

And remember how I talked about discount shopping being good for your brain? Well, then this little tid bit will be like burpees for your brain cells…use the code “thespiff” to get 10% off their stuff!

Here’s the website, or visit them across from Charming Charlie in West Town Mall and get to exercising!

Good news for all you people out there who love shopping, cute things AND discounts.

You’ve heard me talk about Fiore before. They’re a great boutique that offers all kinds of cute clothes as well as really unique house decor and a whole slew of adorable gifts. I mean really, you shop there for all three things and you’ll look good, live cute and gift well. For real.

Let me get to the good news…when you shop on Fiore.com enter the code “thespiff” and you’ll get a 10% discount!!

That’s pretty awesome, amiright?

Here are some examples of their adorable offerings…

Love this striped dress for all ages. Wear it as a dress or pair it with tights. And the options of statement necklaces with this classic black and white pattern are eeeendless.

I plan on wearing a maxi dress only on days that end in “y” this summer. So I’m thankful for cute one’s like this to stock up on. I love that it includes a lot of colors, without being an overwhelming pattern.

Piko tops. Well, you should know where I stand with these. Thank God there are short sleeve options!

They also have all kinds of great accessories. Gorgeous jewelry and really great bags. Bags like this brown cross-body or how about the bigger black tote to double as a briefcase.

And I’ve already dropped in to pick up a last minute gift for a friend. Their selection of cute items from brands like Lily Pulitzer and Kate Spade translates to perfect presents you can keep on hand or pick up last minute.

And if you’re living in good ole’ rocky top, they’ve got a wonderful selection of Vol attire and home décor.

I’m so excited about this collaboration with them, and I really hope you take advantage of the discount! Remember enter “thespiff” for 10% off…do it right now!!

(Stay tuned for updates about mentioning the code in-store to get the discount in person).

Piko (Boo, I See You) Tops!

So far this pregnancy journey has not lead to any weird hormonal outbursts.

Other than the fact that I cried once at a wrestling special. And not just a tear…I was balling at Shawn Michaels’ story. But that’s not weird (or so I told myself).

Hopefully (and as far as I know) no one has been on the receiving end of a hormonally charged rant…no one, but not nothing. I’ve found myself continually in a heightened state of frustrated cleaning when I look at just about any corner in our abode. Today as I was cleaning our kitchen I went from audibly growling to sitting on the floor clearing out cookbooks. That’s a little out of the ordinary, so I’m going to chalk that up to being Jackson’s fault. Thanks for the sudden motivation to clean the bakers rack, buddy!

Needless to say, this would be a great time for me and you to buy some fresh things for our house.

We’ve been staring at the same old same old for a little while (especially during all of those snow days) so why not give yourself something fresh and pretty to look at. Enter: Fiore.

Fiore in West Town Mall has a superb collection of cute home items as well as great additions to your closet. Additions like Piko tops. What’s a Piko top, you ask? Oh, only the greatest most flattering and comfortable top you’ve ever put on your BODY. That’s all!

Really, these tops are amazing. Regardless of your age, weight, height, family medical history and math ability these tops will amaze you. Go get one (or a Piko tunic!). They’re soft, and drape well so they’re not going to cling to love handles. They’re also very tight in the arms, so if you need to wear them under a jacket they’re not going to add a lot of bulk.

Watch this video of my segment from yesterday to get see what adorable home items they have, and to see the skirt I’ve been trying to track down for months!

Oh the Places a White Long Sleeve Top Will Go

December 18, 2014 No Comments

This winter I’ve determined to give my closet an overhaul. There are pieces in there that I haven’t touched in many, many seasons. So as soon as I get the chance, I’m going to clean it out.

What I want to fill it back up with are easy tops like this one. It’s comfortable, versatile and (most importantly of all) really cute.

I was happy to first grab it in white because to me a white kind of slouchy top like this totally reads off-duty super model. Does it read that to any one else? Probably not, but I carry myself a little more like Miranda Kerr when I’m wearing it so whatever helps. Ha.

It’s a great transitional top, especially for this time of year when quick transitions from work to family/friend Christmas parties is a constant thing.

At work I can wear it with nice jeans, patterned shoes and some earrings. Then after leaving there, I can throw on a sparkly scarf over top and be warm and festive in seconds. I’ve said before that wearing white to a winter evening event is totally unexpected, so burst through those expectations and try something like this.

It will also work well as a layering piece since the arms are so tight and it drapes nicely in the front.

Get your own at the great new-ish store in West Town Mall called Fiore. It’s right across from Charming Charlies!
