Lucky Mag always delivers when it comes to great how-to guides. Some of the points, like walking on a hard surface when trying on shoes was something I never thought about. When you do think about it, it makes perfect sense. Heels often feel a lot different and a lot less comfortable when you don’t have the soft cushion beneath.
I still refuse to agree with kitten heels though. I usually find myself pretty wobbly in them so I rather go “big” or simply stick to a flat. Kitten heels just make no sense to me. *shrugs*
I’ve never been able to get into the whole eBay “thing”. I know so many who purchase (and sell) via eBay without even thinking twice but I’m either too nervous or something so I’ve yet to give it a try. I’m also still trying to determine what the “or something” is, so bear with me. I’m very much into designer handbags like the next stylista and there’s a huge selection from which to choose on eBay. My concern has always been whether the bag is authentic or not because I could only image how irate I’d become if I spent money on something that was described as authentic to find out that it was not.
Rather than shop on eBay, I think I’m going to give Yoogi’s Closet a whirl. Yoogi’s takes shopping and authenticity seriously, so you’re guarenteed to only find authentic items on the site. They even have Lucky mag vouching for them, so you’re in good hands. You have your pick from a fabulous array of handbags, shoes and jewelry, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find something you like.
So, I really want to hear from you all on this topic. Are you willing to take a chance and buy a designer good via eBay or do you stick to actual retail stores? Would you consider giving a site like Yoogi’s Closet a chance? Be sure to comment as I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I know the title “How to Shop” sounds crazy within it self, but trust me, I really needed this tutorial. Not only am I a Lucky magazine subscriber, but I love visiting the blog section on their website on a regular. The How To Shop outlines strategies of shopping at discount retailers like TJ Maxx. It’s so easy to get caught up in wanting to purchase tons of items at these types of stores because the prices are so great, but one of the most important tips I learned from this video was “If you wouldn’t pay full price, don’t buy it on sale”. *heading back to TJ Maxx to return those Dereon jeans I purchased last week*
The release of the Pantone Fashion Color Report has always coincided with the beginning of New York Fashion Week and it serves as a great guide of what hues to expect for the upcoming season. I”m happy to see some of these colors – namely turquoise – come back again. For the last several years, I’ve been obsessed with the hue so each and every time I get a chance to buy and wear the color, I do. Back in 2003-2004, I seriously wore turquoise a minimum of once a week. I’m also looking forward to the nude tones. In fact, I think that will serve as my go-to nail color for the season. Of the colors from the palette, which do you plan to try out? Be sure to comment and let me know.
Lucky Magazine is great for their how-to series and when I read the headline, “Seven simple steps to an organized closet”, it was as if they were speaking directly to me. Somehow, although I have three bedroom closets (and one coat closet) to myself, I’m bursting at the seams. I don’t have enough space for the things I do have. You’d think that would slow down my shopping, right? *snickers* Yeah, right
If any of you have the same problem, hopefully you’ll find these tips equally helpful.
Tip 1: You need to be able to see what you’re doing. Move everything onto the bed and separate those items that need to visit the tailor or cobbler.
