Even though H&M hasn't made a big impact on South Florida, its slowly making its way to Florida. With only two store locations:

Seminole Towne Center
117 Towne Center Circle
Sanford, FL 32771
407-302-0801

The Florida Mall
8001 South Orange Blossom Trail
Orlando, FL 32809
407-858-0316

H&M offers a variety of clothes to choose from which vary in prices. Recently I was looking on the store website and I saw a cute denim mini skirt($24.95), a t-shirt ($12.95), a red belt to accent the shirt ($6.95), and sandals ($24.95). This is a fairly decent amount for a complete outfit.

Big and Tall for Men at Burlington Coat Factory


Sometimes finding men clothes can be a hassle because some men are to tall and some men are to big. Well at Burlington Coat Factory, there is a big and tall section for men above average. Burlington Coat Factory has an advantage over other stores because most places don't sell big and tall clothes for men that are above average size. Not only does Burlington offer a large variety of clothes for larger men but they sell them for a lower price then department stores.

My boyfriend happens to be 6'7 so shopping for him is pretty hard. Long sleeve shirts are often to short, long pants look like there flooding, and regular t-shirts are to tight. In the big and tall section of Burlington I am bound to find something that fits him not to mention for a low price.

For men that are struggling to find affordable clothes at a low price, consider shopping at Burlington Coat Factory in the Big and Tall section.


New Look, New Day, Who Knew, JCPenny



Even though I wouldn't consider myself to be a religious JCPenny shopper, the times when I do find my way into the department store, I'm amazed at how many nice inexpensive things that they have.


JCPenny has fashion for babies, kids, teens, men and women to choose from. So everyone in the family can go home happy.


I remember when I was a little kid, my mom used to take me to JCPenny for back to school shopping. I always wore uniform so we bought things like underwear, socks, undershirts, and t-shirts. I never really understood why she went to JCPenny out of all the stores when those items could be bought anywhere. As I got older and we had to do the same routine for my brother. Undershirt, boxers, socks, book bag, etc., that's when I realized why she shopped at JCPenny.


During back to school time JCPenny sends out coupons to your house and if you didn't receive one in the mail you can cut them out of the newspaper.


JCPenny offers coupons for 50% off total purchases, $10 off certain items, and $20 off Jansport book bags. That's when I realized why my mom shopped at JCPenny for back to school savings.

Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale

Are you a women that's addicted to Victoria's Secret Lingerie? Have you tried shopping through there Semi-Annual Catalog sale? Although lingerie can get a little expensive, there's ways that you can save on the items that you love most.

I was never really a catalog shopper, I like to try things on and make sure it fits, I don't like to go through the hassle of doing returns but last summer I changed my mind.

When I got to Las Vegas, Nevada I realized that I forgot to pack a bathing suit. My older cousin who happens to be the same size as me said "don't worry about it, I have enough choose the one that you like". Family or not, I don't really like sharing bathing suits with people.

When I pulled the bathing suits out of her suitcase, every single one had a price tag on it. That's when I asked her were all of these bathing suits new and she said yes, she had ordered them from the Victoria's Secret catalog.
I couldn't believe how many bathing suits she had, some were Beach Sexy because she has a nice body that's what most of them were. Some were Very Sexy, Pink, Miracle Bra Push ups, two pieces and one piece.

I couldn't help but ask her how much everything was. She didn't remember the exact price that she had spent but she said the most expensive item on the list was the one piece but all the separates were $23 or less each. If you have ever bought a bathing suite from Victoria's Secret then your in shock to find out how cheap that is. From that day on, when I get the catalog in the mail I look for good savings.

Shopping Online/ Catalog Tips

Most people don't like shopping online or from catalogs and I don't blame them. It can be aggravating when your order something and it doesn't fit and you had to pay for shipping and handling. Shopping online and using catalogs is one of the best ways that people can save money during shopping. Maybe you should consider these tips when shopping online or in a catalog:


  1. Try not to order just one item at a time.
  2. Order a bundle of items at one time instead of paying shipping and handling over and over.
  3. Check the shipping and handling details of the site or catalog that you are ordering from. Many times when you spend a certain amount of money shipping and handling is free.
  4. Make sure you know your size whether it be small, medium, or large, 2, 4, 6, or 24, 25, 26 to avoid sending items back.
These are just a few tips that I found to be helpful when shopping online or while shopping from a catalog.

Easy Breezy Beautiful Covergirl


I wouldn't consider myself to be a makeup person but the little bit of make-up that I do own is from Covergirl. Stars such as Queen Latifah, Rihanna and Drew Barrymore all represent the Covergirl line. Queen Latifah has her very own Queen Collection, and Rihanna uses her beauty and her hazel eyes in promoting the exact eyelights eye-brightening mascara.

I choose to use Covergirl because its the only makeup that doesn't make me feel as though I'm wearing makeup, its affordable and it makes me feel extra pretty when I wear it. There's some makeup brands that make you feel ripped off after you buy it. Ive bought makeup from Mac before and I felt ripped off. You get one eyeshadow for $18, I can get a pack of 3 eyeshadow from Covergirl for $6 at CVS Pharmacy.

Not only is Covergirl cheaper then other brands but it doesn't make you look like you have makeup piled on your face when your taking pictures. I hate when I'm on Facebook and I'm looking at peoples pictures and it looks like there face is a different color then their neck. That's because of the makeup, Covergirl doesn't do that. Every women should feel as pretty as a Covergirl.
