I have to admit, I do not belong  to all of these sites yet, but I have to say they do offer a wide array of product. Who doesn't love designer sales? Most of these sites will require that you sign up with them, which is no big deal. They just want you to be a "member" before you see the merchandise. They send you e-mails about when the next big sale is and what designer is involved. I think thats awesome! It makes me feel like a ritzy, top customer who's constantly sought after. 

So don't say Samantha never helped you find a good sale! After all, what else am I here for!

Anyways, I was looking online for more sales and stumbled upon this from last year:

:o OMG!

Hopefully the dates correspond to this year because I will totally be attending that event.

As you may have figured out already, I am a HUGE shopoholic. Although I am a broke college student, I still have nice things. Just like my new Burberry jacket and scarf. (pictures will be up soon)

I also didn't feel guilty about buying it because it was something I've wanted for a while with amazing quality and will last me years. 

Tip 1: When shopping, pick out key items that can be used over and over in different ways. This way, you don't drain your pockets buying outfits over and over. Example: I bought an expensive dress. I already thought of multiple places to wear it to, and also how it would differ. I would wear a belt with it, pair it with tights, wear a jacket over it, bling it out with some statement jewelry..and the list goes on. That should be going through your head every time you shop. Think about the questions: Where will I wear it? How will I wear it? Is it multi-functional? 

I have work today. Gotta go :]

Love,

Samantha
