Black Friday Deals: Groopdealz Edition

 

Black Friday is here and being that it's the biggest shopping day of the year I had to share some of my favorite deals with you! Groopdealz is running some amazing deals right now and I love that they included a bunch of holiday apparel deals. I love this sequin sweater, this dress, or this heart sweater; they would all be perfect for Christmas dinner or a New Years Eve party!! They also have some cute stocking stuffers like this pom pom beanie, these pave enamel bracelets, and these adorable lace boot socks. Whatever you choose to buy make sure you use the code: BLACKFRIDAY for 10% off your entire purchase!! Savings on savings people, that's what I like on Black Friday. Happy shopping!!! xoxo

Happy Birthday Groopdealz!

Who loves Groopdealz? Everyone, duh that's a no brainer. If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard of Groopdealz for some reason, it's an online shop with lots of daily deals. I have purchased so many cute, designer inspired jewelry pieces from their site for a fraction of the cost! Well this week it's Groopdealz 3rd birthday! To celebrate there are tons of great deals on their site (I've been eyeing these gorgeous statement necklaces here and here) and they are having a huge giveaway! Oh and the prizes are seriously amazing! 5 third place winners will win a Kitchen Aid, 3 second place winners will win a Blendtec, and 1 lucky first place winner will win a home office complete with an iMac, Potterybarn desk, Nikon DSLR camera, and a one year subscription to Photoshop. Now are those not the best prizes ever??! I would love to add that Kitchen Aid to my kitchen and I could definitely use that DSLR for my blog! You can go to the Groopdealz site and enter here.

Good luck!

how to get more bang for your buck

// shirt: JCPenney // pants: Pac Sun // shoes: H&M in store // necklace: Groopdealz //

Guess how much this entire outfit was head to toe? 

Less than $100!!

Here's the breakdown:

shirt: $19

pants: $45

shoes: $15

necklace: $15

Total: $94

Guess what ladies?? You can always find on trend items for great prices without sacrificing style, it is possible! Here are a few tips:

1. Check etsy, groopdealz, veryjane, and sassy steals daily for cheaper versions of jewelry pieces. This yellow rose necklace I'm wearing in the pictures above is inspired by a necklace sold at J Crew for $128, umm no thank you!! I'll wait until someone makes a knockoff and sells it on groopdealz.

2. Go into stores you wouldn't normally think to go into. I was searching for some cute, cheap neon belts the other day and found some at Wet Seal. I haven't shopped there since I was like 12 but I went in and looked while I was at the mall and there was a pack of 3 skinny belts (yellow, hot pink, and brown) on sale for $7.99, score.

3. Stalk items that may be out of your price range and wait for them to go on sale. You can also search for promo codes or coupons.

4. Thrift shop at DI, Salvation Army, or other local shops.

5. When in doubt, check Forever 21*. Guaranteed you will find whatever you are looking for because that place has anything and everything you could ever want. It's also a great place for trendy items that you don't want to spend a ton on just in case it goes out of style next season.

*Make sure not to take your husband when you go to F21, they get really bored, complain, and ask you 20 times if you're done shopping.
