How To Save In Style This Summer

Smart Cookies are on a radio interview tour today, did you hear us!? We’re up VERY early and sharing our secrets on how to save in style this summer. Here’ s a peak at our “go to” resources.
Designer Insider – Get sample sale prices without leaving the house. If you thought sample sales were only for fashion-savvy insiders, think again. All you need is internet access and an eye for a deal. A number of designer discount sites have emerged offering deep discounts on some of the most sought after fashion labels. So now you can experience a runway-perfect find for a fraction of the cost at sites like Editorscloset.com, Gilt.com and Hautelook.com. Natalie, one of our Smart Cookie Premium members recently shared the amazing deal she found on a designer purse from Hautelook.com.
Track Your Summer Spending – Our social calendars tend to ramp up in the summer months, making it difficult to keep track of our spending. Try to set aside a fixed amount to invest in a few quality, investment wardrobe pieces, and keep track of how much you’re investing in your new summer wardrobe by using easy to use, online tracking tools. Our favorite is Money Manager offered by American Express. You’ll be surprised how easy and even how addictive (yes, addictive) it can be to track your spending.
