[Guest Post]: 6 Tips on finding the best-priced Purse

Hi Beauties!

We have another guest post here by Daniella Weston who shares her 6 best tips on finding a purse with the best price.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With summer on the horizon, it’s a great time to get a new purse. However, purses, like everything else, can be really expensive. Instead of sacrificing quality for price, here are some ways to get the bag you want at a price that you can really appreciate.

1.Promotional codes

There are several tips that a person can use to find the best priced purse. The first tip is to look for discount codes when you are shopping for the purse online. This is one of the best ways that a person can assure that they are not going to have to pay the full price on the purse. All a person has to do is put the promotional code into the blank white box. Most of the time, a person is going to be able to find a promotional code that is going to save them from 10 to 40 percent on the purse.

2. Outlet Shops

The second tip is to take a trip out to the outlet shops. A person is going to be able to find a lot of great deal at the outlet because this is where the big brand purse shops send the purses that they cannot sell. One of the most popular purse outlets is Coach. The reason this one is so popular is because the shop will ship the purses as little as three months after they have been in the store. A person is going to be able to save about 15 to 75 percent on the purses at the outlet.

3. Sample Sales

The third tip is to find out where there are sample sales on the purse stores that you like. Most of the time, a store is going to have a sample sale on their purses about twice a year. During these sample sales, there are going to be tables and tables of purses that are going to be marked down to at 20 percent. These purses are on sale because the store ordered too many of them or the purses might have a little defect on them. A defect could be something as small as some scratches. The more defects that the purse has, the bigger discount a person is going to get.

4. Designer Discount stores

The fourth tip is to go to a designer discount store. These designer discount stores include stores like T.J. Maxx and Marshall's. These stores are going to carry a lot of purses that have been overstocked or last season. Therefore, a person might not be able to get the exact color that they were looking for in the purse, but the savings is going to be well worth it. The best way to get the best purses that you want is to find out when the store gets all of its new shipments. You should also try to make sure that you shop at the store on that day, or soon after.

5. Shop on Ebay

The fifth tip is to look for used name brand purses on Ebay. The best way to do this is to type "authentic" in the search bar and the name brand that you are looking for. Then, a person is going to need to look for purses that are going to be sold during a weird time of night like two in the morning. A person is going to be able to find a way better deal on the purse that they are looking for because there is going to be less competition for that purse.

6. Join email lists

The sixth tip is to join the email lists of all of the online purse stores that you frequently like to shop at. This is so that you will know when the store is having any sales or promotions going on within the stores, or online. Plus, a person is probably going to get access to certain sales or promotional codes from the top designer purse brands that might only exist to the people who are apart of the email list.

Daniella Weston loves clothes. A self proclaimed "clothes horse," Danielle, or "Dani," is always in search of the best deals. This is the same with anything else she is in search of. When she needed a new rate on her life insurance, Danielle looked no further than termlifeinsurance.org for a great deal!

Haroon's Bags: Part IV

Hi Beauties!

Here is the fourth part of my bag hauling series. By now you must be tired of it. I have done a post on this bag before already. This one only has a different color. I kind of like the style of the bag so I thought its okay to get two of the same design, the colors are different and would not look similiar much.

I'll keep this post short and quick so that you don't get bored. The above picture is the front view of the bag. It has cute heart shapes hanging at the handle of the bag. They are of the same leather material as that of the bag. This is the only thing that differentiates the front and the back of the bag. Otherwise the style it the same at both ends.

This is the inner view of the bag. It has a zipper pocket at the inner back, a large middle inner zipper pocket which divides the bag into two compartments. At the front inner side, there is a small mobile pocket and another small pocket to keep keys and small stuff.

This is a moderate sized handbag for daily use. I usually use it at work. Its spacy enough and stores quite alot of stuff as I like to move around with quite a load of things so, this bag is the right size for me. I had not got any medium sized bag in blue before which motivated me to get this one. Its a nice color for summers as well. The thing about bright colored bags is that they do not go with every dress so yes, I do have to carry this bag matching my clothes and sometimes when I am too lazy to bother I  just use it regularly without bothering about dress colors.

The bag I must say is sturdy and can with stand rough usage. This is the best thing I like about Haroon's bag, their bags are accurately priced and are of great quality as well. I have so far not witnessed any short falls in their bags. You can skim through the other bags of this series by clicking on the following links Part I, Part II and Part III. This bag like other bags is also for Rs. 1895 and I got this one from Qaddafi Stadium outlet. If you still have not checked out Haroon's then you are missing it for sure. Hope you liked my bag. Drop in your comments and share your views with me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!





Haroon's Bags: Part III

Hi Beauties!

This is a post long due. I am sure by now you must have forgotten about the first 2 bags of the series. I misplaced my previous memory card, found it yesterday and here I am back today with the third part of the series. No worries, I am providing the links here for Part I and Part II. I got crazy about the bags Haroon's has got and purchased myself these pretty ones. There are still a few pending in the series :o

Here is the one I purchased in pink. Its a nice bright pink shade with a peach undertone though it is not visible in the picture at all. The bag is made of smooth soft leather. But its solid enough to retain the shape of the bag. It has this arm holders and also a separate long strap in case you feel like hanging it on the shoulder. But I like placing it on my arm without the lenghty strap. The bag came witha white dust protection bag too of which I forgot to take picture.

Here is the back view of the bag. It has a small zipper pocket at the back. The zipper pocket is kind of small. I can only place my cell phone in it or keys. The pocket is not really that deep or large. But it serves the purpose.

It has this gold colored stud at the front. It rotates to open up and there is a small pocket at the fornt too. The pocket can hold papers, cards, and such stuff. The pocket itself is large but it isnt spacy. Its thinly stitched so doesnt give much space to keep things.

This is the inner view of the bag. It has two zipper pockets, one is just at the back of the bag inside and the other one is right in the middle which divides the bad into two compartments. Then there is a mobile pocket and another small pocket right next to the mobile pocket.

I like the color of the bag and also the leather it is made of but somehow I do not find it spacy enough, I really liked it when I purchased it but now I feel as if I purchased it in a haste. I am not comfortable with the shape of the bag. It doesnot appeal to me anymore. Although I am using this bag these days daily and it sure is filled with alot of stuff yet, I don't know it is not that close to my heart anymore. Ever notice, some bags have a weight of their own? If you put few things in them and carry them you feel as if your bag is really heavy. This bag also belongs to the same category, it has a weight of its own. You don't notice it initially but then you realize that My God, your bag really is heavy...

I got this bag from Haroon's Qaddafi Stadium outlet Lahore for Rs. 1895. I would say for the quality and variety the bag is accurately priced. I love buying bags from Haroon's, their bags are just superb and fancy. You can go check out Haroon's in Lahore at Qaddafi, M.M. Alam and Defence. They have other outlets in Isalamabad and Rawalpindi as well. I hauled yesterday from their new outlet in Vogue Towers on M.M. Alam road. Will soon be sharing the haul post with all you guys. Hope you guys liked my bag. Drop in your comments and let me know. I just love to read your comments. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Haroon's Bag Part II

Hi Beauties!

So here is another bag from the series of bags I got myself from Harron's and this one is my personal favorite.

Its a really nice black colored leather bag in a duffle shape and has a patchy pattern all over it. The picture below is the back view of the bag. It has a zip pocket behind which is deep enough to put small things or your mobile phone.

This is the inside view of the bag. It has a small mobile pocket and an adjacent pocket next to the mobile one.

Then there are two zipper pockets and a small open pocket between the two zipper pockets. So in all this bag has a total of 6 pockets excluding the actual middle compartment. The middle compartment is quite spacy and you can put in a lot of junk there.

Along the sides of the bag are two buttony straps. You can button them and the bag will acquire the shape of a duffle bag.

This is how the bag looks when buttoned up from the sides and also zipped. But I don not prefer using it this way as it distorts the shape of the bag plus I think regular buttoning will wrinkle up the leather.

This is the top view of the bag. It has a zip along with a magnet button. I wonder what the button is for when the zipper is already there :p

The bag came with an extra strap for additional length in case you want to hang it on the shoulder. I have not used it wih this strap. Below the strap is a large sized dust bag to protect the bag from dust. The dust bag has got a string. Place the bag inside ang pull the string. Your bag will be safe from dust and moths. 

Ok, I forgot to take pictures of the bag along with this pouch. This also came with the bag and hangs around the bag on the metallic hook along the side. Its a small zipper pouch exactly of the same material as the bag.

Here is the inner view of the pouch. It has a cottony inside lining and can be used as a clutch casually.

This was all about the bag. I got this one from Haroon's Defence outlet Lahore for Rs. 1895. I simply love to flaunt this bag. Its leather is smooth and shiny and so touchable. I love the pattern, the style and shape of the bag. Its great for everyday use if you are a working woman and also for traveling. I simply love Haroon's. You can join their Facebook page by clicking on the following link. You can visit them too on their outlets in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Lahore. In lahore they have two outlets, one in Qaddafi Stadium and the other one in Defence, Y Block right next to Hardee's.

Hope you liked my bag. Share your views with me. I would love to hear from you. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Handbag by Haroon's Part I

Hi Beauties!

Well I got a little crazy this month when I went to Haroon's and saw their bags collection. They have got such awesomely amazing collection again, be it handbags, clutches; formal or casual. I just could not resist and got myself 4 handbags and a casual carry around pouch. Would be sharing them with you one by one.

So this is what I got this time.

This is the front view of the bag. Its a leather bag made up of very fine material and is smooth and shiny.

The back view of the bag. Although both the sides are exactly the same, the only difference is of the heart shaped tags tied to one of the handles of the bag. It helps in differentiating what side is the front.

This is the top view of the bag. It has a zipper top. Contents will remain safe in the bag and wont fall or slip out.

And finally the inner view of the bag. It has Two zipper pockets. One mobile pocket and another pocket adjacent to the mobile pocket. There are two middle pockets as well.

My Experience:

My experience with this has been really great. I really like carrying out this bag  with me. The material of this bag is really smooth and shiny. I wont say its really soft because the bag is not really that soft. In terms of softness I would say it falls somewhere between hard and soft but thats also a good thing because it helps in retaining the shape of the bag. The handles I would say are a little hard on the arms, not vary comfortable for hanging for a lengthy span of time. The zip is really smooth. The best part I find about this bag is that it has quite alot of pockets which means I dont have to put a separate organizer in my handbag to keep all the things organized. I  usually employ this bag for office use and I am really happy with it.

I purchased this bag from Haroon's Qaddaffi Stadium outlet for Rs. 1895. Majority of their handbags are priced the same. You can check out Harron's facebook fan page here or visit their Qaddaffi Stadium or Defence Y Block outlet.

Hope you liked my handbag. This is only the first one from the lot. There are yet more to come :) Share your views with me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Pink is my color

Hi Beauties!

So I got myself a pair of shoes from Beech Tree on sale and now I wanted to get myself a matching handbag too. I went to Haroon's Defence branch before eid and they had superb collection of handbags at that time but unfortunately I was out of money by then. So all I could do was look at the bags with wishful eyes. So last week I went to Haroon's Qadaffi Stadium where I found this last piece of pink bag. I instantly grabbed it. 

 

It is a nice pink colored leather bag with white leather front and pretty little lock hanging out. The handles are small so that you may hang it on your arms only. Its not a shoulder bag. It can also be used professionally since it gives a very casual but classy look. 

The interior of the bag is black in color made of thick cloth. It has a small zipper pocket a mobile pocket and another small pocket inside. The bag is quite spacy from inside and you can place quite alot of stuff. This bag cost me Rs. 2695. 

I am totally satisfied with this bag and would rate it a 5/5. You should also visit Haroon's and check out their bags collection. Here is a link to their Facebook group. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

OH my what did the Birdy drop for me.....!!!!

Hi Beauties!

I am super excited about this post. So you must be wondering what the post name suggests and what is it exactly about.... Well a few days back just before Eid ul Fitr I ordered a handbag from Inventive. Click on the link to check out their facebook page. Inventive sells beautiful and creative clutches, wallets, pouches, bangles, imported handbags, shoes and lots more. So I ordered an imported handbag by the brand XOXO and it arrived yesterday in the mail.

So the bag is red colored and has a very smooth zipper opening. Inside is a small pocket with red silky interior. The handles are of brown leather and so are the bag boundaries. The specifications of the bag are 11" x 6" approximately. I got this bag on a discounted price of Rs. 2800 along with Rs. 100 as courier charges. I am really thankful to the Inventive people for this lovely bag Im lovin it!

Comment and tell me if you liked my new handbag. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care........ XOXO!
