Black Friday Tips and Tricks!

It’s that time of year again……BLACK FRIDAY! For those of you that partake in this fun and busy shopping day I wanted to share a few pointers that have helped me get through this crazy day!

black_friday

1. Sleep!
Make sure you get enough sleep the night prior because your day is going to be full of walking and shopping

2. Be Comfy!
Wear your most comfortable shopping outfit and make sure to wear your tennis or ballet flats because by the end of your shopping day your feet with thank you

3. Know Where Your Going!
It is very important to plan accordingly; make sure to know where you want to shop, so you can plan a “play by play” on what stores have the best deals and where you need to park to get there (if you go to the mall)

4. Have A List!
It is always good to make a list of items you need to get for everyone on your holiday list and make sure to always ask the stores for gift boxes and tissue (because most of them give it to you for free)

5. Always Ask For A Gift Receipt!
It is very important to always ask for a gift receipt (even though you are probably the best gift giver ever; your friend or loved one might want to exchange their present for a different size or color and that will make it easier for them to do so)

6. Go With Someone!
I always recommend to shop with a friend or loved one on Black Friday because you always need a voice of reason to tell you “yes” or tell you “no,” it is also nice to have someone stand in line with you when you are waiting to purchase your presents

7. Site Deals!
If you don’t feel like fighting the crowd this Friday then make sure to take full advantage of the Black Friday Site Deals! Click here for various site deals (anywhere from Overstock.com to Macy’s, it’s all here at your fingertips)

8. Have Fun!
Last but not least make sure to have fun this Friday and make the best of it. I hope these tips and tricks help you this holiday season and remember when in doubt on gift giving this holiday…purchase a personal stylist gift card and I will take them shopping for a new and improved wardrobe! 🙂

Fall Statement Jewels.

It’s officially fall in Arizona (meaning that it hit 75 degrees) so I pulled out all of my sweaters, pants and fall colors and went to Kendra Scott to find fall statement jewels that can transition from work to play. I’m excited to be teaming up with the Kendra Scott boutique at the Scottsdale Quarter on various events and parties at their location this next year!

Kendra Scott started her business in 2002 with just $500 to launch a mini-jewelry collection. Today, Kendra Scott Jewelry is a global, multimillion-dollar brand sold at renowned retailers like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales and 1,000+ specialty boutiques worldwide. I love what Scott stands for: Family, Fashion and Philanthropy. She says that the most important thing in her life is her family and nothing is greater! Her pieces are truly timeless and can transition from day to evening. As a personal stylist I am always trying to look for pieces that can flow throughout one’s day because not everyone has time to bring accessories along with a change of clothes for happy hour after work or dinner. I decided to go with the Harlow necklace because this piece is a statement within itself and is really the only piece of jewelry I need to look complete!

Quotes I Live By…

Pinterest….you either love it or not! I go through phases where I am on it every day and pinning like crazy and then don’t log on for a month. This past weekend was one of those days where I was on a pinning frenzy! I was exploring quotes and had to share some of my favorites that make me smile.

Get A Mammo!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here!

28 million women have mammograms annually. Fewer than ten percent of those mammogram screenings show some abnormality and need more tests. Through those specialized breast health tests is the vast majority (about 94 percent) are found to be harmless. Mammograms do not prevent breast cancer, but many regard them as a life-saving test because of the potential for breast cancer detection in its early, most treatable stages. When breast cancer is detected early, there is a 98 percent chance of survival. So make sure to “Get A Mammo.” I also walked the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Tempe Town Lake with my mom this am and had so much fun. Below are some pictures that highlighted this special event that I have done for the past 7 years.

Zombies Invade Arizona…

There are a million reasons why I LOVE my job and this commercial shoot was one of them! In the past I have styled adults, kids, news personalities, models and now I can add zombies to my list. In early September I worked with an amazing production team (Andy Coloccia and Jason Rosinski) and January Social Media on a commercial shoot for Arizona Vein and Vascular Center. The day of the shoot was perfect zombie weather (rainy and cloudy) which made it easy for the Zombies to get into character. I have never done anything like this before and this is something that I will never forget. Special thanks to my amazing makeup artist Janae Shields for the scary zombie makeup and to the United Zombies of America (Arizona Chapter) for bringing their “A” game at the shoot. Below are some pictures throughout the day and at the end of this blog is the commercial that will be running on 3TV for the month of October! Enjoy and Happy Halloween 🙂
