Wrap Up Warm this Winter with these Discount Coats

I love winters; correction I hate summers, and so when winters come around, I am happier than if it was summer. Also I like to bundle up against the weather and enjoy the bracing air when it’s cold and frosty out, so I am always in search of some warm winter woolies so I can be snug as a bug in a rug.  Here are some lovely coats that I managed to find, each on a goodish discount:

Victoria's Secret CoatI freely admit that this Victoria’s Secret velvet blazer is not something that is going to keep me warm this winter, but it is Oh! So smart! It is made from a cotton, rayon and spandex mix, so you can be sure that it will conform rather well to the shape of the body. No buttons or fastenings and a subtle shimmer and a hint of sexy stretch, make this rather desirable in my view. [Read more →]

Lingerie at a Discount

This post may be considered a wee bit risqué given the wholesome kind of content we usually have on here, but when it comes to women’s lingerie, there are few from either the male or the female population who are not interested! Since I needed to find some good deals on bridal lingerie for a friend, I though why not do a post about it!

Now what a bride wears under her gown is as important as her gown, not only because of how the innerwear will make the dress look and how imperceptible it is beneath the wedding gown but also because of what follows the actual wedding. I thought that this lace chemise set with the top and its matching G-string was great for just $18, however I later realized that this is a wholesale price with a suggested retail price of $44.99 and up and that you have to order a minimum of 2 sets here.

How to Buy Discount Swimwear Online

Now some of us may be hesitant to buy swimsuits online, but remember you are most likely to get the best deals online and also have access to the widest variety and choice when it comes to buying swimwear.

One good way to shop for swimsuits is to try some out at your regular bricks and mortar store to see how the cut and size work for you – this way you know how and which size  fits you well and whether you find the cut and fit comfortable. You can then go online to try and find a better deal or a wider range in terms of colors or prints. For buying swim suits online, you can try the following sites that offer great deals –

Smart Bargains stocks a wide variety of swim suits – bikinis, bikini bottoms, tankinis, swim separates, women’s cover-ups, sarongs and so on are all available. You can also expect to find some good discounts on. You can ask for the size you need and they offer you the best options in terms of discounts.

SAD? Gifting Ideas for Yourself

It could be the single people find the whole brouhaha surrounding Valentine’s Day a wee bit nauseating, the in your face displays of love and affection rather too smug to take – so whether as a joke or as a mutinous reaction to Valentine Day, someone came up with Singles Awareness Day (acronym SAD, so it must be someone’s idea of ironic wit) – there is some difference of opinion whether it is celebrated on 13th, 14th or 15th of February, but celebrated it is!

So the idea is that if people will send their ‘better halves’ all manner of mawkish gifts, then there is no reason why single people shouldn’t send themselves a gift of two as well! Getting together for a singles party, getting some pampering from a spa or similar, going for a holiday, doing something meaningful like volunteering to help with or donate to a charity can all be terrific ideas for Singles Awareness Day and equally, one can treat oneself to the following gifts –

Plus Size Wedding Dresses at a Discount

Now may I clarify right away that this is not for me, it is a friend for whom I was doing the hunting and the research for plus size wedding gowns and here is what I came up with. I found some beautiful outfits, some not too traditional and many that you can wear even after the big day so I decided to do a post about it!

This Charmeuse Rhinestones, Crystal Beading Semi-Cathedral Train Dress available in White or Ivory Beading available in Cherry, Clover,Sapphire, White or Ivory Sizes is a very flattering cut and style for a plus sized girl I thought and though traditional I just liked it a lot. You can call a number given at the page to call up for a discount.

Branded Stuff at Reasonable Prices

I have done posts about designer look-alikes before and about websites where you can get products that look like the original but are available at a fraction of the price of the original because they are imitations. Many of us however do still hanker after the original when it comes to items such as watches, jewelry and accessories. And for those of us who are like that; for whom the brand is all, there is bidz.com, which is a brand name and jewelry auction, which claims to offer authentic products such as jewelry, watches, sunglasses, and other accessories from luxury brands such as Faberge, Di Modolo, Gucci, Chanel, Carrera y Carrera, Valentino, Versace, and so on.

Now this Tonino Lamborghini watch (date watch with genuine diamonds) that retails about two thousand three hundred and sixty bucks, got auctioned off for just $202. Pretty good deal that, I thought.

Festive Discounts

My favorite time of year is coming soon; Christmas. I still remember the excitement of going to bed on Christmas Eve when I was a child; the almost breathless excitement in the anticipation of Santa Claus coming with his bag full of goodies while I slept so that when I woke up there would be all these lovely surprises waiting for me! After all Christmas is all about giving and sharing and gifting, so go forth and shop! If we can find discounts, all the better! And No! It is not cheap to buy discounted gifts, it is merely smart!

Ideas for a Mother-to-be

My very good friend is pregnant and she is terrified of several things: the unknown (this is her first time), or not knowing what to do, birthing pains, of losing her lissome shape, and several other things. So I decided to lend her a helping hand with things (some of them anyway, there is no painless way to have a baby, so she will just have to bear with that).

First I registered her with ivillage’s weekly pregnancy guide. This will give her a weekly update of what is happening with her and her baby, via email. So now she knows that her baby is the size of a cherry at week 8 of her pregnancy; not so terrifying after all!

Next I nudged her in the direction of this really cool site for Stylish Maternity Wear. At first I was a little puzzled at the name; what does an erotic dance form have to do with pregnancy and maternity! Then I thought about it a bit: after all a pregnant belly does ‘dance’ a bit J. She could choose from maternity clothes by several designers, diaper bags etc. And some of the stuff was on sale so I was definitely interested! Since one of her chief worries was getting big and losing her shape, I was able to allay her misgivings with some really smart maternity clothes I found on the site.
