GLAM ALERT...SUMMER $PECIAL$

Summer's here, that means its time to hit the beach or spring for a tropical vacation. If you're on a budget the best place to do your summer shopping is the Fashion Outlet's. Every major city has at least one. You just need to locate the stores that have the best deals. Saving funds on a summer wardrobe leaves you more for taking a weekend or 7 day vacation.  Below are 5 Must Have Summer Suggestions for you to consider.  The best place to get you started is the outlets. Here's an inside tip: Should you like a better deal, than sign-up for your chosen fashion outlet location VIP Club or Newsletter. This will provide you a heads-up on additional  discounts from your favorite brands and often freebies with purchase.

Hitting the outlets at least twice a year is a guarantee for my fashionistas and I.  My chosen outlet locations are the PREMIUM OUTLETS. A convenient location we often visit is the Camarillo Outlet located in Ventura County. The girls & I get an early start on a TGIF and head down the 101 freeway stopping for a nice breakfast along the way spending a couple of hours at the outlet, then continue down the coast to Santa Barbara for the remainder of the weekend & sometimes even an extended vacation. Santa Barbara will consist of spa treatments, more shopping and of course making a stop in Solvang. They have the absolute best restaurants for breakfast-Crepes that is. You can't visit Santa Barbara without visiting the vineyards for wine tasting.



5 Summer Must Have Suggestions: Whether you're staying local or traveling this summer? You'll definitely need the following items.


1. Beautiful, durable, chic affordable luggage on wheels with pulley.
2. A fabulous summer wardrobe that consist of day wear, afternoon wear, cocktail hour, evening festivities, sensible undergarments, sexy lingerie and no girls outfit is complete without a variety of shoes to select from.
3. At least two pair of sun glasses with UV protection, The perfect swimsuit, cover-up, beach towel, sunscreen, lip balm, good book-nook, Ipod, and camera.

 5. A good attitude. Summer is a time for relaxation. Leave the Do Not Disturb sign on the door for anyone who wants to steal your joy.

* All the items above you can purchase at the outlets. Now you make the choice of purchasing at full retail price or 40%-70% less.  Remember summer is only a couple of months. You'll be putting the clothes away at the end of August. At least you should be.



drezrehersal Tip...In order to have a summer that exceeds all expectations try to let go, do something you normally wouldn't do or visit somewhere you've always wanted. Doesn't matter if its with a significant other, friend(s) or by yourself. Just let go. Leave all your cares & worries behind. It's perfectly fine once in awhile to say "I Remember Me".
