Donate your old clothes to H&M? Hmmmm…
My girls, who are in middle school, love to shop at H&M. So when I heard about H&M’s Long Live Fashion campaign, which gives you a discount for donating your old clothes to any H&M store, I was game. Have you heard of it? For each bag of used clothes you donate to H&M, you’ll receive a voucher for a discount on your next purchase. [ More ]
Virtual shopping, only in person
So there’s a store in Seattle (where else?) that works purely by robotics. It’s aimed at guys, who notoriously don’t like to shop the way women shop. Shoppers can go into the store where the jeans are all lined up along a wall. They select a pair of jeans they like, scan the tag on it, and head to the fitting room. [ More ]
De-clutter your closet
t’s that time of year again, when we turn to our closet, take inventory of our spring clothing and think things like, “Ugh. I’m not wearing that again this season,” or “Am I really ever going to wear that (in my case) linen jacket or that teal, needs-hand-washing blouse?” Probably not. [ More ]
Kudos for great customer service
Some companies really get it—they realize that we have tons of choices for where to shop and they make sure they give great customer service so that we’ll keep coming back. I recently had two above-and-beyond experiences. These companies impressed me so much I’m thrilled to be able to share my happy tales with you [ More ]
Design your own shoes? A dream come true!
Like every other red-blooded woman, I love shoes. So when I heard about milkandhoney.com, a year-old site that features a section where you can design your own shoes, I couldn't resist. It was like grown-up playtime! They give you basic styles to choose from—pumps, platforms, strappy sandals, wedges, and more. [ More ]
Holidays are a shopper's nirvana
Don’t hate me—my shopping has been done for weeks now. So why am I still out there? I guess you can say I’m obsessed. I’m the one who shops for Christmas everyday. A lot of the stuff that I buy on the cheap I will donate. That feels good. I’m look for practical items like hats, scarves, socks, pjs, etc. at great bargains. [ More ]
When hat head is worth it
I hate wearing hats. I don’t look cute in them and besides, they mess up my hair! But I do make an exception for winter workouts—and shoveling, which is basically a workout. I like to run outside (except when it’s frigid) and my life changed when I discovered HeatTech long johns. [ More ]
