Shop With Me!

It's no secret that I love to shop....especially for my girls!  Unfortunately, love is not enough to cover the costs of smocked outfits and monogrammed accessories - haha! :) Luckily, there are plenty of sites around the WWW that offer discounts and/or frequent sales.  I have to admit that I am a bargain junkie - I love a good deal!
Here are a few of my favorite sites that I love to peruse on a daily basis....and I have bought things from many (if not all) of them (but, shhhh! don't tell Jeffrey!) ;-)


(feel free to click on the pink colored links to accept invitations to these sites or to browse through their collections!)



If you are not shopping with ebates, then you are missing out! It's an easy way to make extra money while shopping. Really! There is NO catch. :)
You simply register for an ebates account, (click HERE to register) then every time you are ready to make an online purchase, you just log in through ebates first. When you make your purchase, you automatically get "cash back" in your ebates account - so easy!
For instance, when I ordered something off zulily the other day...
First, I logged into my ebates account. Then I searched for "zulily" on ebates. I clicked on the zulily link THROUGH EBATES and made my purchase as usual. I received a percentage of cash back into my ebates account based off of my purchase. Every few months, you get a "big fat check" (as they call it - ha!). You can choose if you want them to mail you a check, deposit it in your paypal account, or have it in the form of a giftcard. It is great! There are tons of companies that work with ebates....walmart, shutterfly, zulily, jcpenny, kohls, nordstrom, etc. It is totally worth the extra step of logging into ebates first just to get a little bit of cash back! Feel free to email me if you have any questions about it! :)




BOWS!!!:
You know I love bows and thankfully, so do my girls! The bigger the better, right?! :) 
Polkadot posies has THE BEST bows and THE BEST prices. you must check them out. even if you don't have any bow wearing little girls in your life, you can always buy these as gifts. with bows starting as low as $1 (that's right ONE DOLLAR!) you can't go wrong! 



DAILY DEALS:
ZULILY
We've acquired many smocked dresses, appliqued rompers, and even some great Melissa and Doug toys for majorly discounted prices!  This is my daily addiction (especially now that they have an iphone app = t-r-o-u-b-l-e! :)


PLUM DISTRICT
Awesome daily deals for vouchers to some of my favorite stores.  One of my recent purchases included a voucher for erin condren (LOVE!)


TOTSY
Similar to zulily, totsy offers daily emails featuring deals on products for moms, babies, kids, (and sometimes dad, too!) Luckily, their deals roll out every day at 9PM (EST) so they don't compete with zulily's 9AM (EST) haha! ;-)


ONE KINGS LANE
OKL offers daily emails featuring deals of up to 70% off home decor, accessories, and gifts!  (the fabulous erin condren was also featured not too long ago)!


THE MINI SOCIAL
fun clothing, toys, and more....at great prices!


GROUPON
I think pretty much everyone has heard of groupon....but just in case you haven't - go sign up, NOW!  it features daily deals for activities in your area.  we've bought gymboree monthly memberships, movie tickets, and restaurant gift certificates all at low, low prices!


GILT
Because who doesn't want a pair of seven jeans for their two-year-old - ha!  Great deals on clothing for men, women, and kids (babies). Designer products from A -Z.


EVERSAVE
Much like groupon, eversave offers daily deals on food, apparel, and excursions in your area....it used to be known as Little Birdie


ETSY LOVE:

I ordered Libbi's valentine's from this adorable shop. They have the cutest printable stationery/invitations that also include a verse. I love it!!

I've had quite a few people ask about Laney's monthly stickers. I ordered them from this etsy shop and have been so pleased with them! They have the cutest designs for boys and girls. I've even ordered a few other sets for baby shower gifts! 


MY PERSONALIZED TSHIRT
I've ordered quite a few shirts from this shop and find them to be very comparable to the Luna B. shirts (who we also LOVE!) in quality, but much more affordable!


LIL SHA-BEBE
I ordered Libbi's Big Sister Shirt from here and was so pleased with it!  I've since ordered a few more appliqued shirts.


ROCK PAPER SISTERS
Our go to for holiday shirts and baby gifts!  I've ordered a handful of their scripture onesies to give as gifts to my friends/family that have new babies.  They are precious!


LITTLE BEANE BOUTIQUE
I ordered all of the labels, gift tags, and thank you cards for Libbi's birthday from this shop.  I've also ordered christmas and valentine sticker labels the past couple of years.


OLLIEGRAPHIC
I love, love, love these personalized plates, calendars, and pillows.  The printable stationery sets are to die for, too!


ONLINE BOUTIQUES:
POSH PICKLE
I cannot say enough how much I love this site!  They have dresses made by the same manufacturers as shrimp and grits kids and zuccini, but at a considerably lower price!  Such cute dresses (and great quality!) And let me just say that their customer service is AWESOME!


LIME RICKI
My most favorite bathing suits I've ever owned (since having a baby and acquiring a whole new body....) these are SO flattering, but not frumpy!  And, they just came out with a baby/kids line and maternity line! :)


DOODLEBUGS PAPER
Love everything on this site...I could seriously order it all!  (And I love that she is a teacher, too!)  We have lots of the gift labels, kitchen stickers, and stationery.  I haven't met a doodlebug item that I don't like!


SARAH + ABRAHAM
such cute stationery, birthday banners, wall art, pillows and more!  All personalized to look like your child - precious (also features some of the "olliegraphic" designs mentioned above).


DOLCEMIA CLOTHING
The cutest (and most affordable!) smocked and monogrammed dresses!!  We have two of these and I definitely plan on ordering more!
Make sure to check out their facebook page for lots of fun giveaways and discounts!


SHESHE MADE
I cannot say enough how much I love SheShe Made!  Libbi wore one of their outfits for her 2nd birthday and frequently wears other dresses, bibs, and bloomers from their line.  A sweet friend, Ashley, gave us some tote bags that we love from SheShe, too!  Libbi has her fair share of sweet SheShe things, now...it's time for me to get Laney a few. ;-)


SHRIMP AND GRITS KIDS
Precious monogrammed outfits for girls and boys.  Smocking, appliques, and monograms, oh my! ;-)


BLESSED BE THE NAME
Love these customized monogrammed and appliqued outfits, but I love what this company stands for even more!


***Keep checking back as this is an "ongoing" list! :)***


*disclaimer* I am in no way affiliated with any of these sites.  I have not been paid, gifted, or asked to promote them.  I just love shopping and wanted to share!  A few of the sites feature invitations that contain a direct referral link.  In the effort of full disclosure, I wanted you to know that if you do click on the link to accept the invitation, I may receive a store credit....and in some instances, so will you! :)  Now....shop till you drop, friends! *
