Happy day to you!

Any day’s a happy day when you realize you can buy more jewelry and it’s good for you! :)

This week on the show I showcased accessories from Francesca’s in West Town Mall. Watch at how easily you can transition one simple dress into four different looks…

It was Veronica’s first time on camera! She did great. Most people would be nervous to get naked twice in a TV studio, but not this gal! ;)

Strategies for Shopping Tax-Free

The lure of tax-free shopping is real.

If a store had a sign out front that said everything was 10% off I wouldn’t give it the time of day. Yet that’s basically what tax-free shopping is and I’m willing to brave the crowds to shop out from under the governments thumb! Muahahaha.

There’s a couple things you need to keep in mind when shopping this weekend so you don’t shop sale-drunk. It’s a term I’ve coined that means: you’ve over indulged on the sweet nectar of a sale that you’re buying things you wouldn’t normally wear, just because you’re getting a deal.

1. Have a list going in.

Stick to the list like gum in a child’s thick head of hair. I mean it.

Your list needs to include all the holes you have in your closet so you can fill those for the rest of the season.

2. If you’re unsure of something, walk away.

The walk away method works wonders (and saves hundreds). If you’re not sold on an item, put it back and see if it pops back up in your mind. If it does and you can’t get it to go away, go buy it.

I love doing this because it’s a great way to make sure that you really love something.

3. Buy things that will work for you into the next season.

And to show you examples of that, I pulled really gorgeous pieces from Francesca’s.

Treat Yo’ Self to Cute Only You Can See

You know how people say that integrity is doing what’s right even when no one can see you? I’m going to borrow from that because I think having great style is being cute even when no one can see it. These little studs from Francesca’s are a great example of that.

The minute I saw them I knew I had to have them. And as far as I know, I’m the only one to ever really enjoy them. I’m not even sure if people can see them around all of my hair. But I wear them because they’re just another layer of cute that I love.

Same goes for the rest of these…

And yes, that one with the words on it does say “Elizabeth” is that not the coolest thing ever!? They were a gift :)

There’s a special kind of confidence that comes with secretly wearing something cute. Like your underwear. Which sounds like a joke, but it’s a good example. Cute underwear can really make a girl walk taller, can’t it?

What have you treated yourself to lately that’s something only you’ll enjoy? And maybe someone will catch a glimpse of it, or you’ll post a giant picture of it and hashtag the crap out of it (crazy kids) but for the most part you bought it because YOU love it and you want that extra secret layer of cute.

That’s fun. Let’s all try it ;)
