fall frenzy

I love sweaters. I think my love for sweaters is unhealthy. Seriously. But I love them. Cardigans. Pullovers. Hoodies. Vests. Wraps. Chunky. Thin. Anything. I love sweaters. Everyone looks good in a sweater. And thankfully, summer is over, and I can start wearing sweaters again. But sweaters are not the only amazing thing about fall. Tights. Yes. I can go two seasons without shaving my legs and still looking fantastic in skirts and dresses. Yum. I also love the colors of fall. Deep blues. Oranges. Tan. Grey. Rich purples. Yellows. Reds. Black. Green. I might only wear blue, grey, black and tan, but I still love looking at the colors of fall.

So, cue fantasy fall shopping.

csn stores review

before i took the time to write my review, i wanted the full csn stores experience.

now that i have had it, here i go.

after being approached by the great people at csn about doing a review, i went right on their site to find exactly what i wanted. i would compare this site to others like overstock.com. it has a little of everything. i browsed their site adding many things to my cart, but holding back to just get one great thing (my budget would allow) for the time being and to test out the experience.

i found the item i wanted and discovered that it was out of stock. to my excitement, they had the choice of emailing me when it was again available, i was so excited i signed right up. i also emailed the company hoping they could tell me when it would be back in stock. i wasn't expecting anything because i had done this sort of thing before and stores always told me they don't have any idea when an item will be re-stocked. to my great surprise i received an email back within a couple hours telling me when they assumed it would be back. i was thrilled to get any date at all.

a week or so later, i received another email from csn with a coupon code for my next order as an apology that my item wasn't in yet. wow! what great customer service. i thought that was a great way to keep the customer happy and i had never seen anything like it.

when the assuming date arrived, i looked online and the item wasn't in still, but it was just 3 days later. that's good enough for me. i got the email telling me it was available and i went right on and bought it. the purchasing part was just as easy as everything else and they accept paypal, wahoo!

i went with the most basic shipping because i tend to like to save the money. though it was still a little pricey for my liking, i received my item in about a week.

overall, i was very satisfied with my transaction and with csn stores. i will be shopping there again.

nail polish lovin'

i have recently found a nail polish that i am so thrilled about. i have tried so many brands

and was addicted to opi for a long time, until now. not only is this polish cheap ($5/bottle),

but it actually stays on, has less chipping incidents and is thick enough you only need one coat.

the brand is ulta. you may or may not have heard of their stores

(click here to find a store near you). you can purchase their brand of polish in the store or online.

did i mention it's only $5 a bottle? to check out some of the colors visit ulta's website. they recently

had a buy one get one free sale (which happens pretty often) so watch for it again and

get two bottles for $5, such a great deal!! happy nail polish shopping.

guest coveter - helena

Hi, I'm Helena. And I write Life in the Pitts.

I love shopping sprees. But my husband isn't a fan of what that does to our

checking account. So I found a new way to get my fix.

I shop online. I go from site to site and fill up shopping carts with awesome

deals and expensive clothes.

And then? I close the window, and walk away.

It's therapeutic.

You should give it a try.

Here are some of the items that I didn't buy today.

Celebrate Your Youth Romper, $68.99

Great Divide Skirt, $119.99

Bathing Suit One Piece in Emmy, $8.99

Hall Of Fame skirt, $63.99

Pierside Shorts, $34.99

Art Opening Skirt $49.99

Patchwork Garden Dress, $57.99

The Parador Skirt, $64.99

The Glamour of Glitter dress, $64.99

Subtotal: $615.91

Taxes: A really big number

Shipping: I don't even want to think about it

Grand Total: $0.00

And yet, it is was very, very satisfying.

special thanks to helena for sharing her creative way of shopping and fun covets.

pine meadow giveaway!!

i recently ordered some baby beanies from this etsy site and it was a very pleasant experience.

it started when i went to etsy's home page and typed in "baby beanies. pine meadow came up as one of the least expensive options. of course i clicked it and it took me to her site full of hats. i loved them,

but didn't see the color i wanted. i clicked on "contact seller" to find out if she would custom make some beanies for me. she emailed back that same day with enthusiasm to make whatever i had in mind.

we emailed back and forth until i finally could make a decision on what i wanted. she had so many options, i couldn't decide. within a couple days, my order was completed and shipped.

within a couple more days, my beautiful hats arrived and i love them!

i got two hats, custom made for $13.50 (this price includes shipping). what an awesome deal!! homemade, custom made, beautiful hats. i could not have asked for a better transaction.

so getting to the point, this amazing seller has so graciously accepted my offer to do a giveaway. if you haven't noticed, this is my first post for little ones. you will be seeing more of these, but i will try to keep them to a minimum. if you are a mommy, i know you have covets for your kiddies. i am not a mommy yet, but will be soon and i find myself shopping for my future babes now more than myself.

hey, a giveaway is a giveaway and that means free stuff!

if you win this giveaway, you will get one of these adorable beanies

(your choice of blue, pink or white).
