Best Shopping App... EVER!!!

Welcome back followers! This may be my last blog post for awhile so I wanted to really go out with a... BANG!!!

When I am on break from my blog, I want everyone to have the luxury of taking my tips and applying them to the real world. So after all the outfits, tips, and information I have shared I hope you all use them in the real world. One way in which you can apply the information I have given you is by visiting a website called Wanelo.

What is Wanelo you ask? Well it is a shopping app, similar to Pinterest, where you can share the stuff you like, but unlike Pinterest you are able to actually buy it directly off the site.

http://wanelo.com/

Here is the link to begin your awesome shopping experience. It's this easy click on the link, sign up (it's free), and start shopping. What more do I have to say to convince you?!

Wanelo is full of awesome clothing, accessories, shoes, bedroom decor, electronics, etc. Find something you like? Hit the BUY IT button! Can't afford the item right now? Hit the SAVE IT button which allows you to save it on your page and pull the item up for future use.

I leave you with this. If you do nothing else, at least visit this site and check out all the awesome items it has to offer and share my blog with others. I wish you all the best on all your shopping endeavors, and don't fear I will be back!!! XOXO Shop Spot by Hayley

What's the best way to finish an outfit????

Welcome back viewers! I am super pumped to share this blog with you all because it is about one of my favorite topics. What is the one rule of fashion no woman should ever forget??? ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE, ACCESSORIZE!!!

Today I will be sharing with you the top five accessories every woman should own.

The first and most popular accessories to the fashion world are chunky necklaces. These go great with shirts that have a low neckline, or a very simple tee. However, make sure not to over do it, if you wear a chunky necklace, the rest of your jewelry should be more simple so the necklace really stands out. Here are some of my very own necklaces.

 
Next accessory on the list... LILY AND LAURA BRACELETS!!! What are Lily and Laura bracelets you ask? Well they are a specific brand of glass beaded bracelets, and you can normally find them in almost every color imaginable. I normally choose to wear a bunch at a time, or pair them up with other bracelets. Below are some of the ones I have in my accessory collection.
 
 
The third item on my list of accessories are fashion scarves. Many people are aware of these and fashion scarves have been around now for a couple years. Not only can you wear these scarves in the winter time, but they are also great for spring because they are very lightweight. Here is a picture of some different colors and patterns I own.
 
 
 


The next two accessories I will be discussing are my personal favorites! The first one is studded earrings. I prefer bigger studs, while others may prefer smaller earrings. I wear my studs with everything, my work outfit, and when I go out. Studded earrings can add a sparkle to any outfit.
 
 
 
 
The last accessories I am going to share with you are something that was popular in the 90s, but is now making a comeback... EARCUFFS! What are they you ask? Well the next time you want an ear piercing, go out and buy an ear cuff; they are simple and painless. You just take the cuff open it up and clamp it on the outside of your ear. The picture below will show how ear cuffs are used. The silver piece on the outside of the ear is the cuff.
 
 
 
Well there you all go! Five ways to accessorize and complete your outfits. Until next time XOXO Shop Spot by Hayley

Retail Therapy

Welcome back viewers! I know it has been a couple weeks because I took a week off to spend time with family friends like we all have, but I'm back and today's topic... RETAIL THERAPY!!! What better way to deal with a bad day than by ending it with a shopping spree? But the major question is does retail therapy truly work?

According to an article done by The British Psychological Society, titled "Does retail therapy work?," it states, "It might not be possible to buy happiness, but you can buy relief from low mood." A study done by Selin Atalay and Margaret Meloy proved retail therapy does work, and they did this through three different experiments.

Now instead of telling everyone the details of the study I will let you all check it out for yourselves. The link listed below is a one page simple reading of a study that proves retail therapy truly works.

I believe retail therapy does very well work for the simple fact when I am in a bad mood and have went to the mall, buying something always seems to make me feel better.

For example, Monday I was having a terrible day. I went to the mall with a list of items I needed to purchase and came out $150 later with way more than I had intended.

Next time you're having a bad day I would suggest going to the mall, it may hurt the pocketbook, but it seems to give people who do this a shopping high and enhance their mood.
