Designer For Less

October 26, 2011 Comments (1)

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.

Stuck in the Middle

Typically being in the middle of things is bad—arguments, traffic, the desert. But there are those rare occasions where being in the middle of something can be good—very, very good.   

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!

Surprise Your Friends and Family with Pre-Holiday Gifts!

September 7, 2011 Comments (0)

The holidays aren’t here just yet, but that doesn’t mean that your friends and family don’t deserve a little something special. Giving out presents for the sake of giving can be just as fulfilling, if not more so, as shopping for yourself. Surprise your friends and family early this year with a pre-holiday gift. If you’re worried about your budget, fear not — giving gifts doesn’t need to cost you a fortune. To help you figure out the perfect present for your friends that won’t drain your wallet, here are a few tips and ideas.

For Him: Whether you are buying for a boyfriend, father, or brother, it’s always tough figuring out what to get for a guy. Buying a tie, wallet, or watch can be too formal and sometimes outrageously expensive. You want to show him you care without burning out your savings so give him something that shows you know him well, understand his hobbies, and value his style.  Giving a gift related to his interests in everyday life will express a deeper, more genuine connection. A really thoughtful gift will be one that is homemade and from the heart expressing a sincere message, and won’t cost you a bundle!

For Her: Shopping for your girlfriends can be just as easy as shopping for yourself, but just to play it safe, stick to accessories. Necklaces and scarves are the best accessories to give as gifts because one size fits all!  At MyLabel right now you can take 25% off of all French Connection items, the perfect brand to buy all types of fun, funky, or fancy accessories (code: FCMYLABEL25). This offer ends on September 8, so get to pre-holiday gift shopping ASAP!
