Must-Have Wardrobe Staples for Every Frugal Fashionista’s Closet

lipsticktocrayons — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:31:46 +0000

Fashion-forward shoppers know it’s not just the latest trends of the season that help to build a stylish wardrobe, but classic pieces that stand the test of time. That’s why Prime Outlets, a portfolio of 21 outlet shopping destinations across the U.S., teamed up with celebrity fashion expert James Aguiar to reveal five essential fashion pieces every woman should own as well as how to find them for a fraction of their regular retail cost.

According to Aguiar, fashion expert and host of “Full Frontal Fashion,” “Where D’Ya Get That?” and “Style Court,” in a culture where fashion trends are fleeting, the key to building a great wardrobe is starting with a few timeless pieces.

“Trends may come and go but there are essential fashion classics that will never go out of style,” said Aguiar. “From the little black dress to the classic trench coat, these are the must-have items every fashionista should have in her closet.”

Outlet malls provide access to some of the finest brands and these timeless pieces at a fraction of the cost.

At everyday savings of up to 65 percent off full retail prices, Prime Outlets’ shoppers have complete access to style icons including Gucci, Michael Kors, J. Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, Coach, Victoria’s Secret, Tory Burch, Polo Ralph Lauren and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, among many others.

Here are some of the timeless, essential pieces that Aguiar recommends:
— The LBD – Whether simple and classic or a more glamorous choice in various lengths and sheer fabrics, the little black dress (LBD) is a must-have. Think Audrey Hepburn when choosing this piece and look for a dress that’s tailored and fitted through the waist. Pair your LBD with wedges and a designer handbag for a daytime look, or strappy sandals and an ornate clutch for a night-on-the-town.

— Crisp White Shirt – Look for a crisp white shirt with feminine detailing around the bustline, a long silhouette and French cuffs to pair with skinny cigarette pants or a pencil skirt for an easy, tailored look. Take your look into the evening by pairing a white
blouse with a ball gown skirt and layers of pearls for a sophisticated look sure to turn a few heads.

— Top Handle Bag – A top handle bag with a strong shape and structure is a must-have fashion classic. Look for top handle bags in a variety of colors with interesting details such as intricate stitching and unique hardware for a stylish accessory that will last a lifetime.

– Printed Scarf -This essential accessory will freshen any look and always keep you in style. Whether tying it around your neck, head or handbag, look for colorful scarves with prints and patterns for a posh, sophisticated look.

– Classic Trench – One of the most essential wardrobe staples is a classic, chic trench coat. More than just a way to cover up, trench coats are the new accessory. Look for a trench in black, khaki, white or stone colors with details such as tortoise shell buttons and epaulet accents for a timeless trench that will truly make a statement.

The Coolest Photo Scanner!!

lipsticktocrayons — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:37:59 +0000

This week, Pandigital announced the Pandigital Personal Photo Scanner/Converter — a new portable photo scanner that can scan print photos up to 8½ x 11-inches large. I received one for review and I’ve been playing with it all evening and it is so VERY COOL and easy to use and portable and fun and . . .

The new photo scanner requires no PC to convert print photos into digital images. Users simply press a single button to scan photos as small as wallet-sized up to 8 ½ x 11, and the device is not a whole lot bigger than large tube of tooth paste, so I plan to keep it packed in my laptop bag.

This fun gadget was literally “plug and play.” I took it out of the box, inserted the small memory SD card that came with it into the back, plugged it in, and began scanning photos from my kids’ baby books. Then, I used the USB cord and plugged it into my laptop, and transferred the photos onto my computer. But, if you want, you can insert the SD card loaded with full-color JPEG images into your computer to upload the photos to your favorite photo site like Snapfish, or take the SD card to a Walgreens or CVS and have your photos printed directly from it — no PC or laptop required. You also can insert the card into a Pandigital digital photo frame to immediately view the images. (I wrote about my Pandigital photo frame here).

The best part about this Pandigital scanner is that it’s so FAST. My printer acts as a scanner, but it’s really slow. First, you scan the photo . . .slowly. Yawn. Then it’s converted into a JPEG image on the computer . . yawn, then I find it . . . yawn. It’s a process. I scanned about 50 photos in about 20 minutes with this dealy. I’m going crazy. First, I’m scanning all the photos from the childhood of my oldest kids. Then, I’m going to scan my photos from my early marriage, and then move my way backward to college, then high school. Facebook, look out!! I’m armed with an easy to use scanner. Here are some of my scans from this evening:

My oldest (now 15) with Santa

My middle child (now 12) getting the last of the soda.

Pandigital’s award-winning line of scanners have been acclaimed for their ease-of-use and excellent performance. The scanner does not require any expensive or confusing software and employs a new twin-roller feeding system to ensure that the photos are scanned evenly each time. Further optimizing the quality, images are scanned at up to 600 optical dpi for resulting scans that have a crisp and clear 3800×7200 24-bit color depth resolution. In addition to being able to scan images onto the included SD memory card, the scanner accepts other popular memory cards (SD, MS, MS Pro, MMS, XD) and can also be connected directly to either a Mac or PC computer via its mini-USB port.

The Pandigital Personal Photo Scanner/Converter weighs in at less than a pound at only 13.79 ounces and measures only 10.59(L) x 1.73(H) x 2.32(D) inches. It is available for now for a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price of $149.99 here.

Parents also will love Snapfish photo gifts that are practical for the daily routine including personalized notebooks for keeping those notes in order (available for $9.99) or a desktop organizer to display a favorite photo of family and friends while keeping all those school supplies handy (available for $26.99).
