I get super excited this time of the year because I know my wardrobe is about to get a major facelift. Why?? Because one of the biggest sale weekend of the year is around the corner...YAY!!! It's November and with it comes Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and all the glorious shopping days in between....
Now, listen to me - shopping cheap does not equate to shopping smart. There is a strategy in getting the best value for your hard earned cash....focus on buying quality not quantity, and shop the sales!! I wear quite a few "reputable brands" but I rarely pay full price, and there is no other feeling for a fashion enthusiast, than scoring a great designer piece at a steal.

Plus, Christmas is tomorrow (well not literally) - and holiday shopping can get so stressful - wanting to get friends, family and lovers something really nice, but not having a huge budget to spend on all those gifts. Preparation is key my friends - they will love the gift, and you will love the price ;)
So, how do you close the rest of 2016 full of style and free of stress? These are my top five (5) tips for shopping smart online:
- Decide on a budget - make a list of what you want and how much they may cost, set a maximum budget and shop maturely - commit to it!
- Prepare for the day in advance - check where online you can find your "wishlist", create an account on the sites if you need to, and store items in your basket if you can....don't leave until last minute...time is precious if you want to snag that deal.
- Check for pre sales - many retailers are extending their sale before the weekend and you don't want to see your dream item sold out.
- Make sure you have enough cash/limit on your debit or credit card, or in your paypal account... you don't want to reach checkout and have an oops or FML moment :(
- Be victorious and proud of your accomplishment...you just shopped like a champ...CONGRATS!
