Groupon Voucher Giveaway: What’s Your Ideal Experience?

December 5, 2011 Comments (6)

Update: The Groupon Voucher Giveaway has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated! A winner will be announced shortly.

We all know that it’s not always easy to treat ourselves. It’s the same old conundrum: if we have the time, we often don’t have the money, and vice versa. But if somehow you are able to conjure up a spare evening or weekend, then there are lots of ways that you can do it on a budget. Of course, our readers know that there is a plethora of voucher codes out there that get you money off your favourite things. But on top of that, there are daily deal websites which offer money-off vouchers every day, for a whole range of products and services.

Take Groupon, for example. Each of the deals on their site gets you up to 70% off, with a huge choice of vouchers available. The premise is simple: the site features several new deals every day, in cities all over the UK, which are available for just that 24-hour period. If you like the deal, you buy it online, and if enough other people buy it, you get the voucher – and the saving. So you can treat yourself to anything from a mani-pedi to an adrenaline-filled day out paintballing without breaking the bank.

And if you haven’t used Groupon before, now’s your chance! We’ve got two Groupon vouchers, worth £100 and £50, to give away to two readers. For your chance to win, all you have to do is leave your email address and a comment stating your ideal Groupon experience. We’ll pick a winner and a runner up, and email them the vouchers. Good luck!

Designer For Less

October 26, 2011 Comments (0)

Sometimes it feels good to splurge on designer guilty pleasures, but getting into the habit of splurging can make a strain on your wallet. Looking fabulous always seems to come with an expensive price tag, but fear not, there are ways to look beautiful, elegant, and glamourous without paying the hefty price. Trick your way into the realm of the elite with just a few simple tips. 

Playing Dress Up: Say you’re invited to an event and you don’t want to wear an old dress you already own, yet you can’t afford to buy a new one. You might think that means you need to skip the event altogether, but Girl Meets Dress has your back! A site dedicated to letting you rent designer dresses that normally range from £1500-£3000 at extremely discounted prices. You wear the dress for the night and return it to them, just like the celebrities do. And from now until 31 October, you can rent an exquisite Herve Leger dress for just £39. You only wear these special event dresses once anyway, so why not save some money while you’re at it!

An Up-Do For You: Now that you have the dress covered, creating a designer hairstyle that stays within your budget is your next feat to accomplish. While saving money on hair salon prices is not as easy as simply renting a dress, you can make your own fabulous up-do while disguising it as hair salon quality. With video tutorials on the web, you can become an expert in no time. From braids, twists, and elegant buns, learn the tips, tricks, and techniques from hair stylist experts on YouTube, and you will be a stunning star for the night.

The Other Parisian Vacation

October 13, 2011 Comments (0)

If you’re planning to take a trip to Paris anytime soon, it’s time to think outside the Parisian Vacation box! Yes, you could spend your days wandering in and out of historic, beautiful churches and museums and dining on everything from rustic to elegant dishes, but there are other ways to enjoy the fabulous offerings of Paris…and save money!

Disneyland Paris: Take a break from sightseeing and give your kids an opportunity to see Mickey, Donald Duck and the rest of the Disney gang at Disneyland Resort Paris. And if you book your trip by October 26 you can get two nights and two days free when you book two or three night breaks on selected dates at Disneyland Resort Paris.  

Do Nothing: Vacations should never, ever be tiring, yet we always seem to spend so much of our holidays rushing from activity to activity—so much that we oftentimes need a vacation to recover from our vacations. My suggestion: take a day off! Spend one entire day of your vacation doing nothing. Read a book, lounge by the pool, walk along the Seine,  take a nap. Schedule absolutely nothing for one 24-hour period, and you may actually feel rested once you return home.

So in the spirit of being in the middle, several retailers have gathered together to offer some of the best buys of the season via their fabulous Mid-Season Sales. We’ve sorted through them all to give you the scoop on some of the most amazing discounts:

Tall Women Unite!

October 5, 2011 Comments (0)

Women come in all shapes and sizes, yet the fashion industry seems to cater to only a very small segment of those shapes and sizes. Women who are on the tall side, for example, always seem to have difficulty finding jeans and blouses that are long enough, and it’s also sometimes hard to find shoes that fit.

Then came Long Tall Sally (you gotta love that name). The tag line, “Tall is Beautiful,” leaves little doubt as to the goals of this retailer: to provide fabulous fashionable options to women who are long and lovely.  The shop is devoted to women who are 5’8” (173 cm) and above, and they carry just about everything any women could need to look stylish, from jeans and jackets to dresses, leggings and tights.

And since fabulous fashions tend to look, shall we say, odd, if you’re walking around barefoot, Long Tall Sally also offers shoes that range from sizes 9-13. Plus, they even carry half sizes! And these are definitely not your grandmother’s sensible shoes. You can find everything from pumps to flats to workout shoes and more. And if you order by October 15 you can get 20% off during the company’s Mid Season Sale. You only have 10 days left to get in on this great deal, so get going!
