I had every intention of posting a real blog last week. Then, the RAIN started. And I mean ark inspiring, flood inducing, basement soaking rain. We woke up Thursday to a good inch of water on our lower level. Since we have a split level, our lower level is another living area...like a walk-out basement. So, the carpet was completely ruined (and now ripped up), we have one wall needing replaced, and we are missing a few tacky pieces of furniture (read: particle board stuff we had in college). We are annoyed by all of this, and by the huge bill for new porcelain tile, but are SO thankful that it was not worse. There are some people here who have completely lost their homes, and they are evacuating even more. So scary. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are still feeling the effects of this huge storm and subsequent flood.
But, that's enough excuses, right? Let's get down to what you REALLY came here for - Monday Favorites! Woohoo! I have become a
Today's favorites has a theme - my favorite (ever, of all time, always) FLASH SALE sites!! People are always asking where I got some cute and unique piece of clothing or jewelry. So, it's time to share my best kept secrets! Here are just a few of my MOST favorites!
- VeryJane - I am insanely in love with the amazing deals I get from this flash sale site. This is honestly where I get 70% of my jewelry, some of my clothes, and almost ALL of my baby shower gifts! Totally worth signing up and checking out their daily deal email every morning. This is probably one of the best sites for any of you chic mommas looking for adorable baby gear! Such a variety and great prices!
- GroopDealz - This is where I get a lot of my other jewelry. I think Groop Dealz has more trendy jewelry, whereas Very Jane has a lot of classic, staple pieces. But, they both have amazing things! I love that Groop Dealz sometimes sends more than one "daily boutique deals" email (which I sometimes delete without even reading, just to keep me from emptying my bank account on four colors of Wilma necklaces and $3 statement bubble necklaces)!
- Brickyard Buffalo - These lovely folks are probably the most high end of my favorite flash sale sites. Things can get pricey here, but the quality is amazing, and they are so completely worth every penny! Right now, I have my eye on a wooden mounted deer head in a natural wood color. So insanely cute and trendy! I have also ordered jewelry from them - I know, go figure, right? I love the mint and gold enamel link bracelet I got from them earlier this week.
- Screaming Owl - Screaming Owl is definitely geared toward mommas! They don't have as many items, and most are mom or baby themed. You can also purchase just one item at time, which keeps their costs lower. That scared me at first. But, it hasn't prevented me from ordering literally EVERY color of their adorable bubble bracelets...because they were on sale for $3.99!!! Seriously? And, I just ordered two chevron headbands for a couple of my friends' baby girls because they were FREE! I just paid shipping. Uh-Maze-Zing!
For reference, I am also a complete Etsy addict, am in love with Zulily, and can't get enough of thrift stores (including Goodwill) and antique malls. I love to shop at Aldi because getting a deal makes me excited, and I shop the Bergner's yellow dot sales like a boss! Can ya tell I love deals?!
I hope these get you as addicted as me...because let's be honest. Your wardrobe and jewelry box will thank me! So will your checking account (and maybe even your husband?) when it realizes how much more money is in it after a shopping binge!
Good night and happy shopping, loves!
