Fun Friday Finds!

I thought I posted this on Friday, but I guess I forgot to hit 'post' Whoops! So here it is, 2 days late :)

We had our first snow day today and what makes miserable, cold weather better?! Well besides an extra day to the weekend....Fabulous finds!! Here are some great finds that I have found this week:

1. Rent the Runway. This website allows you to rent high end clothing, accessories. and such for wayyyy less than you'd spend if you purchased the items in the store. I think its an awesome site for events where you just need a new dress for the night such as parties, weddings, professional family photos, etc. I am definitely guilty of buying a new item of clothing for an event and not wearing it again afterwards, so I'm LOVING me some Rent the Runway! Here's a link if you'd like to join: Rent the Runway


2. Perfectly Preppy Resale on fb. This is a page/group on fb that allows you either to A) Buy either new or gently used Lilly, J Crew, Coach type clothes or B) sell your items to others. I just found it this week and there are some ridiculous cute clothing pieces on there for fab prices! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lilly Pulitzer, but I definitely cant afford to pay its retail price on my teacher's salary. M told me I could buy a new one for our rehearsal dinner, but my rule is that any other Lilly items MUST be bought on sale!  New items are constantly being updated on PPR, so be sure to 'like' the site and get yourself some great deals!


3. Fab.com was introduced to me last week. It's an invitation only site that allows you to get 'fab' items for discounted prices! There are all sorts of items on there (mostly fashion related) and some items are even 70% off of retail pricing! Here's the link to request to join:  Fab.com


Happy Deal Finding,

The 4 S's

There are 4 things that I am simply loving right now: Sniqueaway, Slimware, Spring, and Southern Living



1. Sniqueaway.com is kind of like a Groupon for travel. Every few days there are great hotel deals offered for wonderful hotels across the globe!! Most rates are at least 50% off and new hotel offers appear each day straight to your inbox! It's a free service, but you can only receive these offers if you are a member. Lucky for me, my friend Lyndsey referred me so lucky for YOU, I can refer you :) Here's the link to join!!

2. Slimware is a cool product that helps with knowing just how much of each portion you need on your plate. If you're like me, you never know just how much meat to have or how many starches is too much, etc. These super cute plates have designs on them where as the veggies go in the biggest design, starches in the next, meats in the smallest and healthy fats in the extender area. If I wasn't so blog-impaired I would post a picture, but every time I try to add a picture, it posts it really large at the start of the post. Weird! Anyway here's a link to my favorite ones:

It's such a simple idea, I wish I would have thought of it, don't you?!


3. Spring. I mean after the winter we've had, how can one NOT be pumped for spring?! These past few weeks have had some warm days and holy mercy has it been great!! It's been so wonderful getting to talk walks outside vs the treadmill, drive with the top down, grill out (we've only done this once, but it was so nice) and of course, wear a few of my beloved spring/summery type clothes and shoes!! Speaking of fashion, have you checked out Target's spring collection? They have some super cute dresses and such and of course, at amazing prices!! Spring is such a happy time. Flowers blooming, fun pastel colors everywhere, an approaching week off from teaching, horse racing, patio's re-opening, baseball, march madness basketball....oh I could just go on and on and on.......

And the last one.....

4. Southern Living . Growing up, Southern Living magazine was always in mom's magazine rack. I used to read it from time to time and never thought I'd reach the point where I to, would LOVE this magazine because I always remember thinking it was an old lady magazine...ha ha :) Well, I've had a subscription for the past few months and, call me and old lady, but I LOVE it! There are always several great recipes, and of course, tons of home decorating ideas!! I get excited when my issue shows up in my mailbox each month and I cant wait to apply some of what I've found into my own home!! Here's their link:
