What is your blog’s name and URL?

Looking Sharp! (http://fashionista0921.blogspot.com)

What do you blog about?

Looking Sharp is my personal fashion blog dedicated to bringing the Pittsburgh fashion and shopping scene to life, as well as documenting my fabulous journey through discovering fashion.

What are some ways you save money?

When it comes to shopping, I try to save money a couple of ways:

  • I only go shopping when I “need.”  I started keeping a journal in my purse of wardrobe items I needed- usually staples that will allow for fversital outfits.  Every time I find myself at the mall or in a store, I try to stick to this list, though I do find myself wondering off of it if a good sale comes around.  Writing the list does make me second guess myself when I want to purchase something I don’t need.  In the end, I usually end up putting that shirt or accessory down and focusing on my list.  Usually.
  • I’m always armed with coupons.  When I started signing up for emails from stores that I love (Ann Taylor LOFT, for example), I started receiving coupons via email that are usually good for in store and online purchase.

What kinds of products most interest you?

I’m mostly interested in accessories and jackets at the moment.  With fall approaching, I want to add a coupel more coats to my wardrobe, as well as accessories- like broaches and pins/belts- to accent my fall and winter coats.  Being in Pittsburgh, I often find myself in a coat for a majority of the year and one way I have found to dress up my coats is with accessories.

What are the 3 main products you CAN’T live without?

I can’t live without bobby pins, trouser jeans and cardigans.

What is your favorite store for saving money?

My favorite store for saving money is Marshalls.  My friend Mandy got me hooked and I am surprised how much of the current trends/pieces by designers they have in the stores.  I can always find something when I’m there.

Where do you shop for bargains online?

I’m not a big online shopper, but I do frequent some of my favorite stores online- Ann Taylor Loft, Gap, Banana Republic, etc.  I usually receive sale coupons from these stores via email and they usually offer some sort of shipping discount or even free shipping.

Tell us about the best deal you’ve ever scored on a product.

Once of the best deals I ever got was a blue cocktail dress from Macys for 10 dollars.  I don’t remember the original price, but it was the perfect dress for dressy holiday party I was going to. I love that dress and still wear it often.

*this was a hard question because often when I see something I am immediately in love with I purchase it. I know that if I don’t, I won”t stop thinking about it and become mad at myself. This has happen to often than not, so I just started purchasing the things I REALLY LOVE, not just like.

Head on over to Looking Sharp! to learn more about Sarah. If you love fashion like I do, prepare to be there awhile – she’s got so much good stuff! And don’t forget to drop us a line if you would like to be a featured blogger here at D Best Of or if you’d like to nominate a friend.

September 22nd, the official beginning of fall, is just days away, and with the change in seasons comes the need to transition your wardrobe! It’s hard to figure out how to take what you see on the runway and incorporate it into your actual attire, though. My advice is to buy 3 or 4 unique [...]

#dbest Lipstick Brands

Fall is right around the corner. I love it! The crisp, autumn temperature brings pretty colored leaves, pumpkin pie, and warm sweaters. For many women, myself included, it also means a transition in makeup colors. I’ve been doing some reading, and it looks like a really big trend in makeup this fall is red lipstick. [...]

#dbest of Bargain Shopping

Whether for fun or necessity, finding a bargain is a great feeling! For me, it’s certainly a little of both. My family can’t afford to spend money like it’s going out of style, but I enjoy giving us all a little extra now and then when I find things at a good price. And I [...]
