Go big or go home

I LOVE ACCESSORIES! If you took one look at my shoe/purse/jewelry/scarf/whatever collection (or even past blog posts), you would know this.   Accessories are a great way to dress up your existing wardrobe and can be inexpensive.  Just add a necklace or a headband and bam!  It's like a whole new outfit for a fraction of the price!  My most recent purchase came from a stella & dot jewelry party, and it is quite a statement piece. I have already worn it a few times and it has certainly made my dresses and t-shirts much more fancy!

My phone is better than your phone

Does your phone send you notifications when your favorite store is offering coupons or discounts? Mine does. Meet Yowza!!  I learned about Yowza!! while reading an article in Entrepreneur Magazine today and couldn't wait to share. This just took coupon collecting to a whole new level for me. No need to cut out coupons and carry them around with you after you download this free app. Just launch Yowza!! on your phone, and using GPS technology it will locate special offers in your vicinity!   Once you select an offer, it brings up either a coupon code or a bar code for you to use (who doesn't love scanning barcodes on their phone?). If there are stores you enjoy making purchases at, mark them as a favorite and you'll receive push notifications whenever that store has new offers.

Check out these deals from rumba on my phone.  Mojitos anyone?
