Reasons Bargain Hunters are Thankful
November 25, 2009 by
This is Turkey Eve and and I’m so excited I can hardly control myself, as we are only 2 days away from my actual favorite holiday! I love Thanksgiving time and no, it’s not for the food. This Tipsy girl spends her holiday getting a little bit tipsy while plotting her Black Friday gameplan with all the other women in her family. I have started plotting early over here. This year I’ll be needing a few extra sugar free red bulls in my Black Friday survival kit because my local mall is opening at 12am for midnight madness . No, I am not insane. This is a bargain hunter’s dream come true and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. There are some bargains that just may be worth risking an altercation with a sleep deprived shopaholic maniac.
*I’ll report back on any Black Friday injuries sustained. You know, besides my credit card.

Nail Emergency? A Mini Mani!
November 24, 2009 by
If you are like me, you’ve run out of time to get a manicure in before Thanksgiving. So I’m going to share with you a little secret combo that will get your nails in decent shape in no time.
Brush the OPI oil all along your nail bed, rub that in. Take the Aquaphor lip treatment and dab it at the base of each fingernail, rub that all around. Then finish everything off with a little squeeze of the Neutrogena Fast Absorbing Hand Lotion. That’s it! It’s super quick and it’ll have your fingers looking 1000% better in no time. I also keep these items in my car* or purse so that if I’m out and about and in need of some nail resuscitation.
*all steps can be completed sitting at a red light (TRUE STORY)

Etsy Spotlight: ShopTipsy
November 20, 2009 by
Sooooo we weren’t really planning on doing this sort of thing, but we had many many requests via The Working Closet Flickr Pool. So we thought what the heck. Why not. The original idea came from the want for J. Crew ruffleness or flowers and life getting in the way. So we thought, why couldn’t we make something like that? We’re crafty! And then the CrafTEE was born and a tutorial was requested. After the tutorial, some people asked for an Etsy shop because they weren’t crafty. And so ShopTipsy was born in the hopes of making the world a better place, one ruffle and one flower at a time.
So today is your lucky day, today we are giving away one Ruffle Tee from our shop!!

Rookie Mistake: Wallet Edition
November 17, 2009 by
I went on a glorious honeymoon in Breckenridge, Colorado. No, it isn’t your typical honeymooner destination and we had our reasons for choosing it, but it was fantastic…and THAT is a post for another day. Today I am going to have a serious talk with you all regarding a purchase that I made on my honeymoon. I fell deeply and madly in love with …..a leather clutch wallet (sorry husband of mine) made by Hobo International. The versatility of the design, the soft leather… I was like a teen girl on opening night of Twilight, crushing hard. (BTW, I recently watched Twilight and you may actually see me at the next opening night or stalking Robert Pattinson, no plans are set in stone yet) So, I purchased the $118.00 wallet, making this the most expensive wallet I have ever owned. Take a look at her in all her glory….
So, imagine my surprise when I get home and am browsing my local Target and happen upon THIS!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
Seriously, I should have known better.
