[EXPIRED] Free Song: "Hang You Up" by Yellowcard [Amazon.com]

Another post for time-sensitive goodies.  Today's free song from Amazon is "Hang You Up" by Yellowcard.  Click here to download while it's still available.

This song is a nice change of pace from what I remember of Yellowcard's old sound. (Who else remembers when "Ocean Avenue" was playing everywhere you turned?)  I can see this track doing very well on mainstream radio.  Good job, Yellowcard!

LC Lauren Conrad Sequin Shift Dress [Kohl's: Colma]

Two weeks ago I scored the above dress on super sale at the Kohl's in Colma for a mere $12.00.  The dress retails for $60.00 but was 80% off, so I used some merchandise credit and paid $0 out of pocket!

I wasn't surprised that this dress didn't come with a belt (since I'd read complaints about the lack of belts on LC dresses here and here), but once you add a belt to define your waist, I bet this dress would create a very flattering silhouette on various body types.

Here's a preview of how I envision wearing it for a special occasion with my bf or a night on the town with friends:

Dress: LC Lauren Conrad Sequin Shift Dress (buy here)

Belt: came with a Stylementor dress from Yesstyle (same belt here)

Shoes: Merona Mackenzie cork wedges from Target (buy here)

Nails: "Phenomena" by L.A. Colors Color Craze (see post here)

There were a number of dresses left in this style when purchased mine, so I encourage ladies to try checking in stores before purchasing online at a higher price.

Nicely Polished

A little while ago I bought this nail polish from Dollar Tree for just $1.00:

 

L.A. Colors, Color Craze, "Phenomena"

Available here for the slightly higher price of $3.50 for two, but sure beats buying a whole case of 144!

Overall I'm really happy with my purchase. While it did take two coats to get the same shade as the bottle, I was pleased that the color was vibrant and glossy even without a topcoat. Unfortunately the color started chipping a few days in but I'm sure that wouldn't have happened as soon if I had used a topcoat to protect my nails.

Definitely recommend getting this if you can find it for a dollar!

Old Navy Spring Haul [Old Navy: Colma]

The Old Navy store in Colma had some very inexpensive items in stock this past weekend.  I snatched up the following four items.  I'm particularly excited about the first two, as I've grown tired of wearing the same jeans, corduroys, cardigans, and camis all winter so am trying to infuse some pops of color in my otherwise bland wardrobe of solid colors and stripes.

 Twisted Cuff Seed-Bead Bracelet

Original: $12.50

I paid: $1.18

Tiered Gauze Skirt in purple floral (buy here)

Original: $26.50

I paid: $2.91

 Khaki Pencil Skirt

Original: $29.50

I paid: $2.91

Girl's Skinny Jeans in tigris (buy here)

Original: $19.50

I paid: $10.08

Long story short, the store had a crazy sale where all women's clearance bottoms (jeans, pants, skirts, and shorts) were a flat $6 each.  I also signed up for an Old Navy card and got an extra 20% off my entire purchase as part of their current promotion.  

If you're considering signing up for an Old Navy card (which, btw, also works for Gap, Banana Republic, Piperlime, and Athleta), I would only recommend getting one if you routinely shop at any of those stores AND you are positive that you will (1) not shop at those stores more often now that you have a store card, and (2) pay off your card every month and not rack up any retail debt.  After all, the best deal you can buy is to not buy anything at all.
