Z.... is for Zara!

Okay... I have exciting news.  You can now shop online at Zara!!!   I have loved Zara since I studied abroad in Paris.  After that when my parents would go abroad I would give my mom my size and insist she go there and buy me things... whatever.   I was not picky as I love all the stuff there.

I was pretty excited when the came to the States.  First it was just New York, but in recent years they have popped up at a few malls around here.    But, I am an avid online shopper and I often feel like Zara stores never have my size in the items I want.

Did I mention that I love Zara?  Here are just a few reasons why!  

Turquoise! How cute is this dress?

I MIGHT have just treated myself to this coat when I was in NYC last week.  

I love when navy and black is paired together.... like here!

Striped, blue, black, perfection seen here!  

Frilly sweater... yum!  

Go... get some Zara! :)  Until next time...xoxo

PS:  Have you entered the Giveaway.  Get to it!

S... is for sale!

So, today is a Monday holiday.  I was not planning on doing an official blog post, but changed my mind!  Not only are holiday weekends great because you get an extra day to sit in your pajamas, but there are great sales in stores and online!  I thought EVERYONE knew about online sample sales at this point, but it came to my recent attention that some of my coolest friends were not "in the know".  I thought I would share an overview of my favorite online sample sale sites.  You can get some AMAZING deals.

What is an online sample sale?  It is a "sell off" of designer goods at a discount price.  Quantities are limited, so it is first come first serve.    Sales open at a particular time (i.e. 12 noon EST).  The good stuff goes quickly!  These events are "invite only" as in you have to be a member, but it is pretty easy to get an "invite".  You are invited by me if you use any of the links below! :)  There are a TON of sites now, but I am only going to share my favorites.

E is for everything! CSN has everything!

So, as you all know from the many giveaways I have done .... I am a CSN Stores Preferred Blogger.  Yep, I am pretty special! :)  Well, my lovely friends at CSN are giving me another opportunity and this time I am going to do a product review.  Next time will be another giveaway, I promise.  But, this time I am getting a little something for myself.


CSN has everything.  I mean everything from home bar furniture to baby items and so much more!  With such a extensive collection, I had a hard time choosing what product I want.  I have my eye on several items.  

Will it be...

The Baby K'Tan
I registered for this, but did not get it.  Practical, cool and I think  a must have!

Gingko Skandia Flatware.
I have this, but could use another place setting!  

Dash and Albert Rug
I could apply my giftcard to get a small entryway rug or splurge for a large dining room rug!

Shoes!  Shoes!  Shoes!
I could splurge on these cute little flats!  

You will have to keep reading to see what product I choose!  I cannot wait to use my CSN giftcard and to do a product review for all of you.  A BIG thank you once again to CSN Stores!  Until next time...xoxo 

L is for Limited.... shop online!

Don't forget to enter my Blog Anniversary Giveaway here!!! 

So, when I was growing up one of my favorite things was "back to school" shopping with my mom and sister.  There is something about fall as a simple of a new season and beginning of a new year- even if we are all not in School anymore!  One of our favorite stores was "The Limited".  We could easily do some damage in that store.  I was heartbroken when the Limited left our local mall.  You can still find some Limited stores, but they are few and far between.  The good news is that you can shop "The Limited" online now which is great for me.  I LOVE online shopping!

I love "The Limited" because they have cute, professional stuff at reasonable prices and you all know I love a good deal! :)  Here are some of my favorite items on sale right now at "The Limited"!

This shirt screams "Courtney".  Bow beautiful for $49

Triple Strand Chunky Necklace.  I do love pearls!  $29.90

Tie Neck Top for $34.90

Obi Belt- sleek and sophisticated at $34.90

Deluxe cardigan jacket on markdown for $34.99

Wrap dress, a wardrobe staple.  On markdown for $44.99

Darling Ruffle Tee.  It is a steal at $16.99

"The Limited" is great for wardrobe basics too.  They have great pants, skirts, suits and more!  Check it out at your local store (if you are so lucky) or online!

Until next time...xoxo
