*Check Your Toes

Is it time for a pedicure? What about the bottom of your feet hard and cracked or soft as the skin of a baby? Regardless of their present condition, spend a little time today pampering them.

Those gorgeous new sandals aren't going to make you look drop dead gorgeous if your feet haven't been taken care of in months! A little pampering is all it takes and it feels sooooo good! ;)

The Latest Fashions... My Trick

One of the quickest ways to put together an outfit is to watch store windows. They will put entire outfits together starting with the perfect shoes and working its way up. All you have to do is take notes. What color schemes are they using?? I always carry a notepad in my handbag for that reason!

Learning to Accessorize

The best place to pick up pointers is by checking out the shop windows. I have often spotted combinations that I would never have considered on my own!

Buttons for your Crocs

Kids are collecting these cute little buttons as fast as they can find them, so today I thought that I would pick this cute little bumble bee... I have bumble bees on the brain this morning. Did you spot the other lens that features a bumble bee?

*Check the Children's Department for Sunglasses

Having a hard time finding sunglasses to fit? My 20 something year old daughter has found some very slylish pairs much to her surprise. Adult sunglasses simply don't fit her!

You Have to Have One of These

Gave my old one to my daughter and this one I received for my birthday... probably because I gave my old one to my daughter. ;) And it seems that to be a fashionista... you have to have one of these in your pocket and the earphones clearly plugged into your ears. I think that's the rule if what I'm seeing in the mall is any indication.

Keeping That White T-Shirt White

If you have been working out in a white t-shirt, you might want to know that it is really important to get that tee into the laundry within the first 48 hours of your workout. If you don't chances are, the perspiration will ruin the t-shirt permanently.

So, invest in a couple so that you always have one clean when you head to the gym!

*Buy in Bulk

It never fails, I need a pair of stockings and I can't find a pair that doesn't have a run or a snag. Now I buy pantyhose in bulk and then stash them away in a drawer. I always have a fresh pair if I need them. Just one last thing to think about. And with my schedule, I can use all the help I can get!

    The key phrase for me is "on a budget". I was out with a friend the other day that had on her $140 pair of jeans and yes, she did look good, but so did the $39 jeans I bought on clearance. Bottom line is that you can look good shopping on a budget - I buy lots of end of the season clearance items.

    Good tips, I've used the children's dept before, and yes, even the boys on rare occasion to find things. (I know no boundaries!)

    You just never know what you are going to find when you walk into a second hand store. Lots of times you will walk out with nothing and then other times you can hit the jack-pot!

    Second hand cloths-stores. And know what colors suit you - buy everything in that color and it will look good on you for years. also: instead of updating your whole wardrobe yearly, just make sure your accessories are near the style of that season.
