Coach Outlets




Ok, so this is not the greatest image I could find of this new Coach Bag but you can get the idea. Coach just introduced the Carley their newest style of bag. It comes in a few sizes and many colors. Including blue strapping on this bag with that print. I found the contrast to be cute and quirky.I am really impressed with Coaches e-mails. If you are like me and love everything Coach does it's a great idea to subscribe to their newsletters. They really do a great job of keeping you informed of all sorts of cool things they are doing. Plus you get to see their special additions and exclusive items. It is really something worth keeping up with if you are an avid purse lover.


Speaking of Coach, I happened to drive by the Coach outlets today and I was devistated to see that the clock said we had no time to stop. But this I do know, I will be stopping there soon. I am always impressed with the selection they have. Sometimes outlet shopping dissapoints me becuase I tend to only find stores packed full of things no one would buy the first time around. It's either tooo old or to ugly. But Coach never dissapoints me. I have to say it's because their stuff never seems to go out of style. And, almost always it's not ugly.

So stop in. It's a great way to stock up on things that you usually wouldn't splurge on because of price. For example. I love the bags and will pay a lot for one, but by the time I'm done I don't want to spend anymore money on accessories like a key fob or scarf. At the outlets they always have plenty of these items at lower prices. I don't feel so bad going for the accessories at that point becuase at least I will still have money in the bank account when I leave. Hopefully LOL.

shopaholic?

I loved that book series. It was cute. I was funny. Shopaholic books were witty and interesting. I really couldn't imagin being as bad of a shopaholic as the main character Becky was. She literally turned everything good in her life into a distaster because she couldn't control her shopping. It was funny because I really didn't think anyone was like that. But really, where is the line between compulsive shopper and shopaholic.

Now mind you, I'm not maxing out credit cards, but it is interesting to me to think about what really qualifies you to be a shopaholic. Is it the impulse shopping? Conpulsive buying? Skipping out on bills because you can "pay it later"? I don't really know. And when do you know you shop to much. We all have our money sins. It's not like everyone can budget and stick to it. I just want to know that I don't have a problem. Or really, if I do. If it is true, if I am an irresponsible shopper, how do I stop and what happens to my friends that are ten times worse than me. Not a real life changing idea, but still one to contemplate.

The New Sexy/Lazy



I like to see that the sweatshirt is making a come back. It was really 80's/early 90's. Then came the wildly popular hooded sweatshirt. Ahhhh....the hoodie, I really do love the hoodie. It has revolutionized my closet and really a lot of my friend's closets. But the sweatshirt is really a great piece in anyone's closet because its really a low key option. It's a nice warm up. It feels easy and lazy. And I love easy and lazy when it comes to a low key day! Victoria Secret does a great job of creating something easy and laid back and making it sexy and cute. It could be the name that makes me think sexy, but whatever it is....it works. lol.

Concentration Time

We just opened a new salon at work. Normally it was just a plain old tanning salon and now we have added hair and nail services. I'm really tired because I have put in about 30 hours of work in the last 2 1/2 days. It's been really intense but totally worth it. I get to learn about starting, running, and working with in a new business. Eventually I want to own my own business when I get out of school but for now I have the opportunity to learn hands on what it's like to run a business. First rule. You can't know everything...look around, there is plenty of good advice and information around you. It's online, from other people who own businesses, and at the library. There are so many resources available. I really never knew what research can do for you but it's changed the way I look at business. For example, having a company website. It's all about advertising the website which in turn will advertise the product. There are so many resources online on how to make an effient and profitable website to go along with your business.

Anyways. I have school work to do. Finals are coming up and I'm getting ready. Then it's break and the wait till next semester. Lol. For now I've got plenty of things to do.
