Are you wanting to find the best deals on your favorite brands without having to trapse all over the place? Or tired of finding out that top you have been coveting went on sale and you missed it?

ShopItToMe.com is quickly becoming one of my new favorite websites! You create an account, select your favorite apparel brands (such as Theory, Kate Spade, BCBG, & Ella Moss), what categories you want them to search (tops, accessories, intimates, etc.) and your size(s). Then sit back and let them do the grunt work of scouring the websites of leading retailers like Nordstrom, Overstock.com, Shopbop.com, Zappos and Bluefly.  When they find clothing that matches your brand and size preferences they send you a Salemail™ - a daily or weekly email summary of which new items go on sale in your size. The Salemail™ gives you the day's (or week's-depending on your preference) sale items according to retailer and even gives you discount codes for that retailer!  Once you make your picks you click on the item and it takes you to that retailer for purchase. You can even set your preferences to look for clothing, shoes, and accessories for everyone in your family from men to kids!

What is also great about this website is that you can pick from brands like Gap, Banana Republic, and J.Crew so that way you will always know what is on sale in these online stores in your size.

Shopittome.com also offers brand recommendations based on your intital picks so you may even find a new favorite brand. Think of it as your very own (free!) virtual personal shopper who not only finds you the best clothes in your size but alerts you when they go on sale! Be forwarned- it is highly addictive!!

Stylish Clothing that is good for your baby

"a baby star is born every day" is this company's motto and, at least in my case, this seems to have been true this year.  In the past year I have been to six (yes, six!) baby showers forcing me to try and find new items to bring oohhs and aaahs when opened.

It was during one such search I came upon baby star, a baby apparel and accessories company that designs modern classics for the style-loving child and parents. This company was born out of the desire to balance style and functionality and their line proves this with essential items for both baby and parent in clean, simple, and modern patterns. In addition to being ridiculously cute and stylish, all of baby star's products are made out of a combination of formaledhyde-free and lead-free baby products, making them safe for baby and the environment.

Here you will find an organic range of cariboo bassinets, apparel, blankets, diaper bags, and crib bedding sets-even organic denim! Everything to meet all of your baby needs. 

One of my favorite items is the baby star organic kimono sets for both boys and girls. Available in modern patterns this set has snaps on the inside of the legs to allow for easy access for those many changes and also has a gusset seat that allows a perfect fit with a diaper.  This kimono offers a break from the traditional onesies and is sure to get squeals from the mommy-to-be!

baby star also offers plush blankets in two weights so that no matter what the temperature is like your baby will be wrapped in style. 
The "diamond" blanket has their signature texture but in a light weight version. A great alternative for those warmer evenings. While their "poodle" blanket has soft pile center that is so soft to the touch that you may find yourself wrapping up in it. This blanket is perfect for keeping your baby warm in the winter months and is destined to become your child's favorite snuggle time blanket.
Both come in a variety of colors and patterns so you can easily match them to your decor.

Stylish and eco-friendly baby gear!  What more could you ask for?

Earn cash back for shopping!

There are many websites out there right now that not only show you what savings stores are offering but offer ways to give you cash back for shopping them!

One such website is FatWallet.com.  This website lets you search for stores by name or category and then tells you what special offers they are having.  In addition, because this website gets paid by the retailers for directing traffic to their stores they split that money with you in the form of a cash back reward! For instance, you can get 11% cashback for shopping at Kiehl's or 5% at Banana Republic!

To receive the cashback rewards you create a (free!) account with FatWallet and shop through their website to earn the rewards.  They keep track of your balance and when you want to get paid you log onto your account and choose the way in which you want to be paid (check or paypal).

They also offer coupons and cashback rewards on hotels and travel sites like cheapcarribean.com and hotels.com.  So, fatwallet.com is a great place to go whether you are needing to book a room for the holidays, get away after the holidays, or are looking for a great way to save money on your holiday shopping!
