New Fun Stuff … On Sale


I am always hunting for a good deal, and I found a one-stop website that does some of the hunting for me. Check out StyleNotes a website that posts daily bargains for womens clothing, footwear, accessories, and more fun stuff.

Right on the home page they have hot deals which are updated daily. Today there is a link to shoe deals on Amazon for as little as $18. One of the posted pairs is this cute pair of Nine West Mary Janes for only $26.69.

Then they actually have a link today for bomber jackets at Tilly’s for $8! They are actually pretty cute jackets too (available in white and black). Too bad I live in Florida and I wear a jacket maybe once a year.

Important: The following is the best part of the StyleNotes website. I have been looking for a site that can do this for a while. If you go to her alerts page you can add your email and receive alerts every time a deal or coupon is posted for the stores you love. Just choose from one of the hundreds of stores on the list. I am always seeing something I like and just waiting for a coupon to arrive. Now if a site could just watch and item for me and tell me when it is on sale I would be in heaven!

A Zen Work Room … hmmm

I have decided that down the line my office needs a revamping.  Sure everything is neat and organized but it just isn’t an inviting place to do work. In fact, I am in my living room right now. Pretty soon I will be launching new little business and I will be needing to spend much more time in there. But I am not ready to let you in on that little secret yet.   I think that I could achieve my desirable, zen office with a few little tweaks.  The key is to have a clean look.  I would love to have a matching office, mostly white with just a few splashes of bright color.

I saw these really beautiful home office ideas in HometoHome.  I think these are so successful because the colors are mostly neutral.

Everything in the room is color coordinated.  Simple, with all the clutter packed away.
