Khol’s is one of my favorite places to shop. It’s so easy to stop by the local department store and shop for my husband, son, and myself all at the same time. The prices and varieties are great, and there are often great sales going on as well. (Right now in my local store, there is a %70 off sale going on, so you can bet I was there this week! In addition, you get $10 Khol’s Cash for every $50 you spend- an even bigger savings.) I bought 2 new skirts, a sweater, and a pair of capris and none of them cost more then $20. I was pretty thrilled with my finds, my own wardrobe was in need of refreshing. Like many moms, I am always picking up things for my son and family, and not usually myself. This trip was for me!

Dresses For An Evening Out

January 30, 2014 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Nice nights out come along few and far to long between. With families and jobs, life and responsibilities often gets in the way of romance and together time. But with careful planning, a sitter, and a prayer they are possible.

The first step to a night out is simple: When? When are you going out? Usually it makes more sense to pick a weekend night. There are lots of factors out of your control during the week including traffic, long day at work, sleepy spouses, and canceling sitters. All of which can all pop up more often on a week night then not. Find a sitter and figure out a time that works best. Maybe an overnight for your little one with a relative or friend so your night ends with more then just a delicious dessert.

The parka is well made and durable It is an ideal length, reaching the thigh area for optimal warmth without being bulky.

Kohl’s for Back-to-School

August 20, 2013 by Samantha 2 Comments

Back to School season is upon us, and like many parents, there is so much I needed to pick up for my fella before he goes back. One of my favorite places to shop is Kohl’s. They carry a huge selection in my local store, and what I can’t find in store, I can easily find online (or just skip it and online shop if I am feeling lazy, LOL). Sometimes, I just don’t feel like bringing him with me to the store. And the allure of 2 am shopping is always a draw to me….

My little dude needs to wear khaki pants to school this year, so that was one of the first things we were looking at. An easy choice were the Chaps Flat-Front Twill School Uniform Pants, which were originally $30 and are now on sale, a bonus 🙂 They look and feel good, and are sturdy (I hate buying new everything in December because it wears out, UGH).

Tatyana Vs The SwimSuit

August 12, 2012 by Samantha 4 Comments

My friend Tatyana spent the summer seeking out the perfect bathing suit- and I think she has finally found it. Read on to see why she loves this suit so much- and why it may be perfect for you, too! We have very different body types, and I think it is good to see how different shapes and cuts can benefit different women. Take it away, Tatyana!
Can I just tell you how much I love my A.N.A. bathing suit? I was happy to know that the A.N.A. line comes in various styles from tankini, bandini and a two piece. The A.N.A. line also has some great colors to suit every woman’s taste. I was happy to know that this line also has accessories like shorts and cover-ups to go with their bathing suit.

It has pieces to mix and match as well to allow flexibility in swim wear. My one piece, chocolate colored swimsuit fits like it was made for me. The silhouette it creates would never let you know that I was a bit overweight. From a slight distance, I look like a very curvy woman, and close up I still look like curvy without the “extras”. The ruching in the front hides the little bulge with ease. The straps are wide and do not hurt the shoulders or leave any ugly red marks. The little skirt in the front and the back allows me to hide my little bathing suit lines on the bottom.

It does not ride up when I went diving or swimming and it does not balloon like some other skirted bathing suits once you get in the water. After putting in on, I felt like stepped out of a 1930’s movie [Read more…]

Great Back-To-School Clothing with @FrenchToastcom

July 29, 2012 by Samantha 16 Comments

Little Man is about to enter Kindergarten- which is both very exciting, and making me feel like a sad sack all at the same time, LOL. He will be attending a school that requires uniforms, which will make getting dressed in the morning all that much easier.

He looks like such a big boy! Everything he is wearing is from French Toast, the clothing and school uniform company. We did shop around, and I can say without a doubt that this is the fastest, easiest, and least expensive way to get his uniforms. I think it is also the best, and though this year his school is not registered with French Toast, I hope to encourage them to to so by next year. I was not thrilled having to go to a store 25 minutes away, stand in line, make my order, then wait 30 minutes more to have it filled just for a few things that needed to be embroidered. VERY annoying. French Toast does it all- plus faster, less costly, and delivers to my door with the same school uniform quality you would get in the pricey store. BLAH.

PLUS, they give participating schools 5% cash back on all orders. Why would any school that requires uniforms not [Read more…]

Sexy and You Know It? Check Yourself Out in Fresh Produce

July 29, 2012 by Samantha 6 Comments

Showing Off My Fake Simba Tattoo! LOL

Yeah man, you know you have to flaunt it if you’ve got it. (And you know you’ve got it, bow-chicka-wow-wow! LOL) Fresh Produce is a fun clothing company that I recently discovered- and adore. It was actually enjoyable to shop and choose my favorite styles and colors, and when it arrived, I was not disappointed. I love to shop, but can do it for myself only rarely. When I get a new item, and it doesn’t meet my desire or it’s description, it is so very upsetting. Then I need to deal with the hassle of returns or exchanges, and deciding if I want to bother with the company again. I am glad to say that I love the dress, and my shopping experience as well.

I’m the type of person who won’t often sacrifice comfort for fashion. Except maybe some fab shoes now and again, LOL. It can be hard to shop for dresses and tops because I have a large chest, even when I wear a minimizer. I found that this dress was PERFECT with a little half top (like a bra-cover-up) underneath it.
