Products We Love

It's only October 12th, but yesterday I placed my "Christmas card" order (Katie did too). I know you're thinking, "what? It's not even Thanksgiving". Well, I'm a Virgo, so I like to get things done early, and I like being one of the first cards people pull from their mailbox after Thanksgiving.

Anyway, to the topic of this post....where I purchased my cards. There are tons of sights that compete for your business - Minted, Tinyprints, Snapfish, simplytoimpress, Pear tree greetings...just to name a few. But, last year I couldn't find a layout that I liked that didn't cost well over a dollar per card. And when you send over 200 cards it adds up.

That's when I found Vistaprint. I was able to design exactly the card layout that I wanted and add a photo and text to the back. Here's our card from last year.

And the ultimate reason I chose them was the %50-off coupon code. In the order I placed yesterday I got 225 cards for $123. You can't beat it. Use the code CARD50 now on their site to get 50% off your holiday card order. I use the matte stock paper and think it looks and feels great.

Happy shopping!

You Can Thank Me Later

I'd like to take a second to step away from fashion to bring you this public service announcement from Cardigans & Couture....i.e. I am about to do you a huge service by sharing this kind of information.

For those of you who have never heard of or used Diapers/Soap/Wag/Yoyo.com (especially those of you with children) you are about to be as giddy as you would be at a Louboutin Sample Sale. Well, maybe not that giddy, but damn near close.

These websites will change your life forever! It's one-stop shopping for your baby, your home and your pets. They offer 2- Day Free shipping on orders over $49, and trust me, it's easy to reach $49. Last tuesday I ordered diapers, shampoo and conditioner and toothpaste, and they arrived at my front door Wednesday morning. They even carry my favorite Blinc Mascara, which is another thing I suggest trying. 

For those of you who just can't seem to find enough hours in the day to make it to Target, here is the solution.

You can thank me later!

Shopping Challenge

I was given the challenge of finding a less expensive version of this Ben-Amun Tortoise Cuff Bracelet. My friend Jenn found this on Gilt Group for $58 down from $115. I thought it was a bit much for this type of bracelet, so I told her I would find some chic and cheap options. Anyone else have a shopping challenge for me? Bring it on!
