Whimsical Weekend

Hello CGs,

First and foremost, HAPPY FRIDAY!

I am feeling super feminine and I am in the mood for pink and pastels.

This weekend I plan to watch, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette.

Celebrity Style: Megan Fox Transformers 2 Fashion

I know some people might be so sick of seeing Megan Fox everywhere. But she’s so gorgeous that it is so hard not to stop and stare. Miz Fox does sexy-sophisticated to a T. Her stylist should get a raise. She looks so foxxxxy! I mean the dress, the body, hair and make up are all flawless. *Sigh

Here is she is at the Berlin premier.

The warm gold make up looks natural and the low ponytail is uber chic! Plus I love the slight nipple action she has going. It reminds me of that Sex and the City episode with Samantha and the fake nipples.

This picture is from the London premier. She looks like Wonder Woman and I really like how simple her make up is.  Out of  the 3 gowns that she wore this is the most sexily subdued dress. I like the back detail and although Megan looks great in black it is not her best colour. I think that she is far more stunning in violet and red.

Price Adjustments

June 29th, 2009

Price Adjustments

I often try to never pay regular price for clothes unless I really, really want or need it. I am just cheap that way. I would just opt to wait for the sale and pray to the universe to reserve a size xs for me. Sometimes I am lucky but most times I miss out. Thank goodness for price adjustments. I went to H&M over the weekend to do an exchange. While I made my way to the register, I saw a dress that I bought a few weeks ago marked down to $20 from $59. I spoke to the sales associate and he said that H&M offers price adjustments within 30 days of the purchase. So I dragged T (such a sweetheart xoxo) to take me back to the mall the next day to do the adjustment. On top of that, the dress that I originally brought to exchange was also marked down. 2 discounts in 2 days, cha-ching! I think that this solves my problem of losing out on the xs sizes.  Merchandise at H&M moves so quickly that things always go on sale. From now on I can buy things at regular price and see if I can get an adjustment towards the end of the 30 days.  I know that Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy offer a one time price adjustment.  If a store marks items down on sale but does not offer price adjustments you can always buy the item again and return your original purchase. I’ve done this before and it’s a bit of a chore but if it saves me money I am all for it.

Stores that offer price adjustments:
