What a Deal!


I fell in love with these pink faux patent leather shoes from Charles by Charles David at Nordstroms.com. The shoes were $114.95 and they didn't have my size so I would have to buy the shoes a half size bigger then what I typically wear. I was willing, but I wanted to sleep on it to ensure that I was making a smart decision and not just being impulsive. After a few days, I checked back at Nordstrom.com and they no longer had the pink color that I wanted. I was devastated and I started to believe that I should have just bought the shoes when I first saw them. With a last-ditch effort to find these shoes, I decided to google. I found the same shoes at Amazon, with free shipping and more than 50% cheaper than what Nordstrom was charging.
I got these shoes for only $44.90.
So the lesson on this story is to be a smart shopper, not an impulsive buyer and use google to ensure you get the best price.

Thank You

Thank you all for leaving your opinions. It has been very helpful. With your suggestions, I downloaded Corel Paint Shop Pro, to have brighter, clearer pictures. I found great Etsy shops to buy Amertrine, which will mix beautifully with Amethyst and Citrine gemstones. I also bought a strand of multi colored Tourmaline that will look fantastic with any color gemstones to add more pops of color to spice up some of the designs. I also subscribed to a wire jewelry magazine for more wiring techniques. I am in love with the gallery wrap but it is not a bad idea to use different techniques.

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see who wins the free pair of earrings and check out the next item of the week.

Thank you all,
Fashionista T

Calling all Fashionistas for a Focus Group

I'm looking for fashionistas to participate in a focus group to give their opinions on Fabulous Chic pieces. Every Sunday I will post a picture of a Fabulous Chic Design and would like your opinion on the item. Of course there is a pay off for participating in the focus group. When you post your opinion in the comment section, you will be entered in a give away drawing. A focus group member will randomly be selected to win a Fabulous Chic Item. I want to hear your honest opinion, so please feel free to say if you do not like an item.

Items will be posted every Sunday and the winner will be announced on Saturday at 9 am.

Thanks,

Fashionista T
