Hey shoppers!!

This weekend I hit up Old Navy to see what they have and whats new there. I really like Old Navy because they always have clothes you can wear everyday, and are very reasonably priced. Compared to the other stores that Old Navy is a part of Gap and Banana Repbulic Old Navy has the same kind of clothes but are less expensive.

This Spring, prints are in and Old Navy has a large collection of animal print tops, skirts and dresses. Which are all a part of there Safari collection, much of there line is nice khaki's paired with light weight matching jackets to really make the animal print shirt pop. Simple wedge sandels are also sold at Old Navy to go with the latest trend.

Another reason why I love Old Navy, is becasue they have great dresses that you can wear from work to a night out with out having to worry about changing. Classic empire waist dresses are great for girls who don't like things to be really tight. But there are also dresses that do have a tighter fit as well. My personal favorite is the tank top polo dresses which are great for any occasion.

Oldnavy.com has a great tab where they have already picked out great outfits and all you have to do is find what you like, how it mixes and matches with other items and then you can just buy it all on the site. Or if you like to go in and try things on, you can just visually see what it is that you like before you go into the store!

Check out there site!! http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=9170

Until next week, Happy shopping :)

Hey there shoppers!
Another week and lots more shopping to talk about. This week I stopped by the Hallmark store, for some pre valentines day shopping. One of the things I love about the Hallmark store is they have so many cards, and gifts for every holiday. While Hallmark is responsible for making holidays like Valentines Day so commericalized its nice to walk into the store and pick out cards for friends, family and that speical someone. Hallmark had lots small gifts with hearts and quotes on them and was perfect for getting a speical person in your life something that is small and meaningful.
Hallmark also carries Vera Bradley which is one of the most popular handbags right now. Recently Vera released their four new spring patterns, my personal favorite is the Rasberry Fizz. I loved it so much that I needed to buy a new purse in that pattern because it was just want I wanted for this spring/ summer season. So if your looking for a good late Valentines Day gift or just wanting to buy a new purse and like the bright patterns from Vera Bradley go to the Hallmark store.
Since Valentines Day is over now, Hallmark is beginning to put out their St. Patricks Day cards, and decorations. Stickers, cards, shamrocks and window clings all put anyone Irish or not in the St. Patricks Day spirit!
Lastly, for a great birthday gift for a friend turning 21 Hallmark has these great Martini glasses with different painted themes on them, and when you turn the glass upside down the bottom has the name of the drink and how to make it on the bottom. For the "princess" in your life they have a glass with a painted crown among many other themese. They also have beer glasses with painted themes on them because men drink beer, not Martini's.

So go check out the Hallmark store, or take a look at their web site.. They also have the perfect gifts!!

Until next week, Happy shopping :)

Hey there shoppers!
Another week and much more shopping to discuss. This weekend I did some serious shopping at the Trumbull Mall and most of the stores have the first part of their summer lines out. With each store I went in I felt refreshed to see bathing suits, sun dresses and flip flops. But the store that I spent the most time and money it this week was American eagle. When I walked into the store I saw many bright colors and fun prints on tank tops, shirts and dresses. One of my favorite dresses in the stores is a white cotton sun dress with the eyelet designs on it, which I always think it’s a classic summer look. American eagle also had high neck tank tops that really flatter your figure because it doesn't cling to your body. Also since Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching, AE has the perfect gift, for a boy/girlfriend cute pajama sets and boxers for the guy are a cute and not super expensive gift you’re someone you love this Valentine’s Day.

On the guy’s side of the store, American eagle has the perfect spring outfits, casual cargo shorts in kakis and blue with a nice color polo shirt. For those guys who dare to be different Hawaiian printed board shorts always add a fun element to getting dressed. If you want to get your boyfriend, brother or friend something nice for them to wear out on the town American eagle has nice button up dress shirts in different colors so you’re bound to find one they will like.

My favorite part of American eagle is their shoes, and right now they had tons of flip flops with all different colors, material and some that are flats and wedges. Whatever shoe you’re looking for American eagle has!
So go on in to the store or check out their website!

Until next week, Happy Shopping!!

Hey there shoppers,
While surfing the web today I was looking for articles on global aspects of the internet. I have to over the course of this semester find articles that pertain to this topic for class. The article I found is about World Internet Users and is as recent as December 2007. According to this site, North America only makes up 18.0% of the worlds use. I personally find this interesting because I feel like everyone in the United States is surfing the web, and for people like me its looking at websites with clothing and other sorts of retail. What I also found interesting about this article is that less people in Australia use the internet than in Africa, Africa exceeding Australia by 3.4% to their 1.5%. No matter how many people are surfing the web globally it is true that email, websites, and other things on the web connect people to things and places faster than any other way!
Until next time, keep shopping!

Hey fellow shoppers! This week I want to talk about one of very favorite stores thats located near my house, in Hamden CT. It is called DAVA and is a unique one of a kind store. When you walk into the store you can smell many different kinds of insense and candles. DAVA has different types of candles not your run of the mill Yankee Candles. Many of the products in DAVA are earth friendly, and DAVA has alot more than just candles. They have a long counter full of jewlery, rings, barretes, necklaces, earrings and basically anything you ever want, the best part about this jewlery is that the only place I have ever seen the stuff is in DAVA. So anytime I want a piece of jewlery that I know is speical and isn't something everyone else is wearing I always go to DAVA.

If jewlery isn't what your looking for DAVA has a great collection of the "Quotable" stuff, for those of you who don't know what the Quotable line is they have cards, mugs, candles, magnets, notebooks and many other things with really good and meaningful quotes said by imporant people. I have a large collection of the Quotable Magnets and I always enjoy reading them and picking out my favorite while I am shopping at DAVA.

DAVA also sells handmade clothing, long flowing skirts, dress and shirts and flip flops, their cloths sort of border on the hippie side, which isn't my style but I do see many people purchasing their clothing.

While I could go on forever about how unique and how much I love shopping at DAVA, i hope if you ever in Hamden, CT that you get a chance to check out this really cool store that is a great place to buy a friend a gift or get yourself a little something speical. DAVA has something for everyone on your shopping list!

Here is their web site! Check it out! http://www.shopdava.com/home.html

Untill next week, happy shopping :)
