Elie Saab Has Me Dreaming About Glamourous Gowns!

For the past few seasons no other designer has caught my attention the way Elie Saab has. Every single gown is a stunner! Not to mention I want everything else in every collection. Check out these stunners from his past few collections.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Elie Saab? Is there a designer who you think does glam gowns best? Let me know so I can add to my day-dreaming of a place to wear one of these beauties to!

Love Outlet Deals? There's an App For That!

Now I'll be the first to admit that not all outlets are created equal. In fact, there are some designer labels that create entirely seperate lines just for thier outlet stores which always makes me feel a little duped. I mean I go to the designer outlet because I LIKE that designer and am looking for mark-downs on their last season's clothes. I don't want the equivalent of a cheap knock-off!

I've always wondered if they realize that they are not putting their best foot forward by creatign these cheaper clothes and that many consumers just don't realize that the level of quality they are getting at the outlet isn't what they would get with the regular line.

Okay, off that soapbox! Because what I really want to talk about are those really awesome deals and steals you can find at some great outlet stores if you just know which ones to go to.

Some of my favorite stores can be found in the Tanger Outlet centers. Now there isn't a location right near me, but there is one on our way to my in-laws so I make it a point to stop there a few times a year.
