Kids Swimwear on Sale at The Disney Store!

As you might have guessed or heard, I started this blog as a way to hopefully curb an out-of-control shopping addiction.  At one point, I was addicted to shopping for myself, but becoming a mother increased my problem ten-fold – do you have any IDEA how many adorable options are out there for KIDS?

Considering that I have a slight (ok major) obsession with Disney – you can safely assume that while my addiction is mostly cured – the Disney Store is the one place that I can get a little, well, out of control.

Currently they are having a swimwear sale on everything from bathing suits, to sunglasses, to flip flops.

I have a basket with several swimsuits, personalized towels, 3 pairs of sunglasses (what?! They are $2.50 EACH!) and one Spiderman costume all ready to go – what can I say – I’m a sucker!

Spring ’11 Sale Picks

So what kind of fashionista would I be if I couldn’t sniff out a great deal? Here’s a hint: not a great one. But, being the shopping guru I am, I’ve found some great scores hiding among those cluttered sale racks. The fun part about these sale pieces is that they really don’t scream “last season” even though many of them are deeply discounted. New-ish clothes right on trend for Spring at sale prices-how could I not share them?

Don’t let this androgynous model scare you. Neutrals are still a major color come Spring. And so are silk blouses. This one at Urban Outfitters can be worn now with a great pair of trousers and later transitioned into your lighter looks.

Another trend we will see in a huge way next season is the return of the ladylike skirt. This one by Gap is executed perfectly, complete with 70s-inspired pleating and a go-to hue that’s just right for Spring.

So the J Brand Houlihan isn’t new news…but this style isn’t going anywhere anytime soon (they just recut it in a distressed style for Spring). And a special shopping secret for you-if you shop in-store at Neiman Marcus, you’ll find these marked down even more (around $80…from over $200!).

Maxi skirts are all. the. rage. for Spring. If you can pull of this old-school style, this skirt is worth getting. The simple, neutral color of this skirt from Anthro will work back to Spring tops in both patterns and bold colors.

Speaking of color. It was everywhere on the runways this Fall. Bright on bright, bold all around-there are no rules when wearing these eye-popping shades. Not sure if you wanna commit to such a statement? No problem-these jeans from Delia’s are under ten bucks.

Slinky, sexy dresses in girly colors make a statement every Spring and this year is no exception. This dress from Piperlime can make its debut on Valentine’s and then take you to every fab event you hit way into the Summer.

Happy shopping!

HUGE Sale At Hayden-Harnett – Run, wallet, RUN!

My friend Lindsay JUST emailed me today with news of this sale, because she and I are both obsessed with Hayden-Harnett.  Honestly, when I saw her email, I felt completely confused and out of it — how could there be THIS big of a sale and I didn’t know about it?  Have I been under a rock?  Am I losing my touch?  Oh. Wait.  Yeah, kinda.  I was at SxSW, and seeing as how I’m a horrible multi-tasker, I completely forgot about the rest of the world.

Including EPIC sales.

Remember this Avion Tote that I was drooling over just last week?  It’s half-priced now!  I’m also in love with this Train Case, and the matching weekender!   Today is the last day, though, so you’d better snatch it up fast!  Heck, anything travel related from Hayden-Harnett is half-priced – so go check it out! Perfect timing for spring break and summer travel!

Run, wallet!  Ruuunnnnnn!
