Money Saver

Looking to save money this summer on the newest fashion trends? Dont be afraid to shop the discount racks. One of my favorite places to shop is Banana republics sale rack...this could be difficult if you are easily swayed to the "not on sale" stuff. But if you just stay focused and head to the back of the store you are able to find all sorts of deals. Another place that will save you loads of money when shopping for the newest trends is the Outlet stores near Fremont, IN. They have name brand stores at discount rates. You may also try the Outlet stores near Camp Atterbury, IN.
If you are a frequent online shopper feel free to price match. Check out more then one website and compare prices. Also, alot of websites offer free shipping if you purchase a certain $ amount. Most of the time this is the way to go because you get more bang for your buck and dont have to worry about paying for it to get to you.

Here is a funny story from a coworker of mine

When I first started out in the work world I was a temporary receptionist. One morning I got a call for an interview for a permanent job right after work that day. I didn't think the clothes I had on would cut it for an interview so I went to the mall at lunchtime to buy a nicer blouse. I was doing quite well in the interview but I noticed that the interviewers voice has trailed off. I saw him looking at my chest and thought 'Rude! One of those men who talks to your chest". But anyway, I followed his gaze and, much to my horror, all the buttons had come undone on my blouse! The buttons were too small for the button holes. I smiled and tried not to panic as I did them all up again. I didn't get the job. I kept the blouse too, but got bigger buttons. Moral of the story, make sure your shirt fits properly to avoid such a disaster..and check and double check your buttons.

How about a tunic?

Tunics are all the rage this season and rightly so because they are so versatile. Take Sweet Pea's Banded Bottom tunic or any of Notice's baby-doll tunics and layer them over your favorite Ed Hardy's Skinny Leg Skull Pocket Jean, Ed Hardy's Skinny Leg "Love Kills Slowly" Pocket Jean or Christopher Blue's Twiggy Jean in Armani Denim. Then bring along a Charlotte Tarantola's Fireside Cardigan, Pure's Marcelle Winter Cream City Coat, or, my personal favorite, Pure's Three-Button Wrap for those chilly evenings. Slip on your favorite boots for a great casual yet polished look.

Ah! It's finally time to kick off those winter boots and let your tootsies breathe. Enjoy fun times in the sun--and show off your pretty toes with some strappy summer sandals. From platform wedges to Roman-inspired flats, you'll find the perfect pair to complete your look this season. Be sure to get those toes in tip top shape, here are a few tips: Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. Be sure to use a salt scrub and go to town. I would recommend trying: Awaken Sea Salt scrub from Arbonne International. Along with their foot cream your feet will be in tip top condition and ready for that perfect pair of platform wedges.

Tribal trends

Check out the new trend!
Spot It: The tribal trend consists of strong, graphic prints (black and white graphics mixed with darker prints is a recognizable element) combined with warm, earthy tones (black, browns, deep reds and oranges) and natural accents (straw, wood). Safari looks usually have a khaki jacket, belted with front pockets.
Wear It: Because the prints are often oversized and strong, they work best on simple shapes (shift dress, tunic) or in soft, draped fabrics (cotton gauze). Natural accents -- a wood armful of bangles or a beaded cuff -- or matte (not shiny) metallics set off the look perfectly.
