HOLIDAY SAVINGS & IDEAS for that FASHION DIVA

The Holidays are quickly approaching us. Hard to believe it's already November. Are you like me, trying to figure out the cheapest way to look good & to spend less on Christmas? Well, we are in the same boat, so...let's help each other out.

How to save on your Holiday Outfits?

1. EBay ( A lot of people are listing their Holiday outfits in eBay right now. Don't feel like you have to shop just from one person (although you can get combined shipping offers). Look for the deals & Auctions that are closing at crazy times. Like when...people are sleeping, at work, holidays...etc.
You can visit my store: I am adding Holiday items right now at low prices for all ages! Here are a few examples.

I also have quite a few listed on Facebook that are not on here yet. You can buy directly from my facebook using Pay pal. http://www.facebook.com/#!/Forever.A.Teen

Now onto Goodwill...

2. Goodwill: You can find super cute tops for less than $4.00. You may have to search through them but, it's so worth it.

3. Thrift Stores: You can sometimes find almost new tops for less than $2.00. Remember they wash!

4. Clearance: Clothes don't last on the racks for to long. So be patient! Wait till they go on clearance. If you can find a cute Cami on clearance. You can search for a sweater on sale. Like the old saying...Patience is a virtue. Keep going back. More than likely...that top will go on sale or clearance.

These are a lot of the things I do to save so, I can look good for the holidays.

Now onto Saving....shopping for presents.

1. Keep an eye out for Sales in the Sunday sales flyer's.
2. Shop eBay...you never know what unique items you may find.
Visit my store for savings: http://stores.ebay.com/FOREVER-A-TEEN
3. If you don't have a Facebook acct. You need to get one!  A lot of people sell items on Facebook now. Most accept pay pal.
4. Look on eBay for coupons you can buy, if you don't have one. It's worth it if you buy a 20% off coupon for $5.00 and spend $300 dollars. You will get $60.00 off minus the $5.00 you spent. Total savings $55.00. A lot of people sell coupons on eBay.
5. Get up and go Black Friday shopping. You would not believe the savings you can find. If you haven't tried it, it's a must!

Hope you enjoyed my savings ideas. Keep an eye out for my next blog. It will be on how to organize and save on Black Friday?

WHAT IS TRUE BEAUTY?

Today I was on face book and I came across this status. I absolutely loved it & wanted to share it with all of my blogger friends. I hope that my store can help all of the ladies out there to feel good about themselves. You don't necessarily have to be super thin to look good, just be yourself & love who you are. God made us all to be different not alike. Here is the status I found today.

I'm not hot or gorgeous. I don't have an amazing figure or a flat stomach. I'm far from being considered a model, but I'm ME. I eat food, have curves, love my PJ's, and I go without makeup. I'm random and crazy, I don't pretend to be someone I'm not. I am who I am, You can love me or not, It won't change ! And if I love you, I do it with all my heart.

If you agree with this, please feel free to comment. :D

HOW TO LOOK 10 LBS THINNER THIS FALL

Are you in need of losing 10 lbs quick but, don't have the time? Well, I am going to give you a few of my tips, I've tried. It's crazy but, for me 10 lbs can make a difference in my weight. SO, what do I do...that is the question.

1. Don't wear your pants to tight! Really! If they are to tight, because you are trying to squeeze in those smaller sized jeans, your muffin roll will flop right over the top. Guess what? You look 10 lbs heavier. Try to find some jeans that fit comfortable. If you are concerned about the muffin top still, even though the jeans fit better...go for a baby doll top. Loose flowing tops, make you feel & look thinner. Just make sure they aren't to big.

2. It's true...black does make you look thinner. Today I wore a black loose flowing top underneath a gray cardigan sweater. It helped to make the appearance of a lot smaller body underneath. Before the black top, I had on a light Aqua top, you could see the muffin top. Seriously! I had to do something about it, so...I quickly grabbed a black top & put it on.

3. Now here's a crazy one. If you want to look thinner, buy bigger hoop earring or dangles. It makes the face appear longer & smaller. Also long necklaces, take the focus off your weight. So, go for a long necklace.

4. If you are thicker around the waist, wear some flare or bootcut jeans to balance out your weight. If you plan on wearing skinny jeans...wear some thicker boots at the bottom, there you go again...BALANCE.

Last but not least...

5. If you have a smaller waistline, wear a skinny belt around it. It will give you curves & make you look thinner.

Hope you like my ideas...go make yourself look 10lbs thinner today.

Fashion tip: When wearing leggings, make sure you wear a loose fitting top or one that hits the top of your thigh. It's a lot more appealing to the eye and gives you more confidence. Throw on some boots and your good to go.

NEW FALL FASHION STYLES...Show off your personality

It's time for fall fashion. But, what is it?

Shorts in the winter...high socks...boots that tie...long poncho sweaters. Wow, the styles are changing. But, you know what...I think that is great! I tell my kids all the time. Be who you want to be, not who everyone else wants you to be. Being original is exactly what all of us should be. God made us to not look like everyone else so, why not do that with our styles to. I am almost 40 years old and I am at a time in my life, where I figure...I can dress and be who I want to be, without worrying about what everyone else thinks. I love fun clothes. I think it pretty much shows off my personality.

I have a question for you...Do you show off your personality or are you dressing to be someone Else's? Crazy to think about, huh? From what I see, there are all sorts of styles out there right now. Like I stated above. I have even noticed a lot of the stuff, doesn't even match. But, really who cares! If you like it...wear it.

FALL ORGANZING ~ GETTING YOUR CLOSET READY FOR FALL

Are you ready for fall? I am getting there. Would you like some advice on how to get your closet ready for fall? Here are a few easy to do ideas.

Clean out the closets, treat your closets like you are spring cleaning. But, what exactly should you clean?

1. Clean out your old clothes, you know you will not wear. Quit thinking, I may wear this someday. I have done that many of times. It just doesn't work. My closet seems to get fuller and fuller.

What should you do with those clothes, you don't want? Well, if you are looking to make money, you have a few options.  (1). Take them to goodwill and get a tax slip. (2). Sell them on eBay (only the fall/winter stuff for now). (3). Take them to a local consignment shop, you can make money if they sell. (4). Donate them to a thrift store, like helping hands.

    2. Get rid of the shoes you don't wear. If they look gross, THROW THEM AWAY! Don't be afraid of     buying used shoes to replace your old ones. You can use anti bacterial wipes to clean the inside. You never know what unique pair of shoes you may find, that are used. It's so fun!

    3. Look for outfits and put them together in your closet. I actually go to consignment shops, look on eBay or search for clearance clothes. If I find a cute top at one place, I search for a matching piece to go with it at another, than jewelry. Consignment shops are awesome! You will save money. eBay is one of my favorite online places, well of course having a store...makes me shop even more on eBay.

    4. If you are still in love with a lot of your purses. Put some nails or hooks in your closet and hang them up. It will make it a ton easier to find them. That's where mine are right now. Hanging on the wall. I love switching out my purses. Oh by the way, one of my favorite purses is from a consignment shop. Her name is Connie. Yes, I have a friend of mine that names her purses and she named mine. It's a super cute red purse, and it was clean on the inside. If you are concerned about germs, get the anti bacterial wipes, and wipe them out. In this economy it's about saving! So, look on eBay, consignment shops, thrift stores, and more. You can find, great deals, low prices and unique items...no one else has. I love used now!

So, these are just a few ideas. If you have any additional ideas, you would like to share. Please feel free to tell. Also, check out my eBay store for some great finds also. http://stores.ebay.com/FOREVER-A-TEEN
