Topshopin' for some deals and this is what I found (most from the sale section):



Flats, Button sweater, Ring, Vest

This store was started in England by the model, Kate Moss and has taken off. They now have stores all over the world. Some of the items are very edgy and others can be classics. Take a peek to see what you would like to add to your closet.

Before

Before I became a "real" mother of a toddler I said that my child will not be wearing "character" clothing, which includes the "light-up" shoes. Now that I am a mother, what is so wrong about light up shoes? These shoes are pretty hot! Jimmy Choo Light-Up Platform Sandals $2,495

So are those light up "character" shoes all that bad?

Etsy

When I have (or don't have) a minute I like to browse through some of the stores on Esty. I either find great items at great prices or inspirational ideas.

Closet clean-out

Oprah has cleaned her closet with the help of O's Creative Director, Adam Glassman and is auctioning the items off on eBay. Not all of us wear the same size so we can't all buy, but it will be fun to look, covet or laugh about.

Tips from Adam Glassman:
Rule 1: If you haven't worn something for over two years, get rid of it. "Even if it's pricey," Adam says. "Give it to a friend who will make good use of it. Sell it, donate it, put it on eBay."

Rule 2: If it doesn't fit you anymore, get rid of it. "Hang it up on the door and call it closet art if you want that for inspiration," he says. "But truthfully, by the time someone gets back into a size, it may be out of style."

Rule 3: Don't fantasy dress. If an item fits the lifestyle you want but not the lifestyle you live, get rid of it.

Rule 4: Everything in your closet should promote joy, beauty and usefulness. "You should feel pretty in it, and you should be comfortable in it," Adam says. "And it should be really practical."

Rule 5: If something brings up a bad memory or has a negative energy around it, purge it. You'll never want to wear something that reminds you of a bad time, but donate it and hope somebody else can enjoy it.

Rule 6: Get rid of duplicates. If you have a ton a of things that look the same, streamline.
