I love summer (not so much this crazy humidity we are experiencing right now in Chicagoland), but is it bad that I am excited for fall?! I can’t wait for boots, chunky scarves and pumpkin flavored everything. And part of fall is transitioning my outfits for the cooler temps...which includes busting out my denim! I’ve mentioned before in numerous posts (including my recent 20x45 clothing challenge), I love my American Eagle jeans. Jean shopping is never fun, and when I find a brand I like Read More
Aerie Real: The Real You is Sexy
Disclosure: I received an Aerie gift card as part of my relationship with the Quality Blue Community. All opinions expressed are my own.

They are low rise skinny jeans and they have a ton of stretch to them, which I am a HUGE fan of! I also have some jeans with a little flair from AE that I wear from time to time.

Sales. Clearance. Coupons. OH MY!
Sales. Clearance sections. Coupons. I LOVE all these things! It gets me all giddy...clearly. Whether I'm at CVS, Target, the grocery store or at the mall, I love to find a good deal! I first got into couponing after attending Jill Cataldo's Super Couponing workshop. She is a Chicagoland blogger/coupon expert and helps people save money on everything from groceries to clothes. She is fantastic! Since watching her DVD and attending her workshop a few years ago, I can honestly say that now Read More
