Fab Fatale Fall Fashion Under $150

 

Hi Ebates members!  My name is Jennifer, editor at Fab Fatale, and I’m beyond excited to be a part of Ebates Fall Fashion Week!  A few bloggers, including myself, were put to the challenge of styling an on-trend look for Fall at under $150, which was actually so easy with all of the promo codes I found at Ebates.

The outfit I styled revolved around this amazing floral blouse {picked up with a 20% off promo code found at Ebates}.  I thought I’d go with a fun date night look by pairing it with cuffed skinny jeans and the shoe of the moment, ankle strap platform pumps, both picked up at Charlotte Russe.  I found a few stand out, yet affordable accessories at Target including the black clutch and skinny belt.  I polished the look off with these fun gold hoop earrings from Kohl’s and a rhinestone pyramid stretch bracelet from Nordstrom.

Every piece of this look was put together with merchants I shop often, and all were affiliated with Ebates, so I saved big with the promo codes and then racked up on cash back for my purchases. I love earning a commission on my own purchases and every little bit adds up! So what do you all think of the outfit I styled for Ebates Fall Fashion week. Is this a look you would wear? My outfit details:

  1. Candie’s Gold Hoop Earrings – Kohl’s $10.40
  2. Rhinestone Pyramid Stretch Bracelet – Nordstrom $12.00
  3. Printed Wrap Blouse – similar here (Saved 20% with Ebates promo code) $47.68
  4. Refuge Glam Ultra Skinny Jeans – Charlotte Russe On Sale For $25
  5. Sueded T-Strap Wedge Sandals – Charlotte Russe On Sale For $20.00
  6. Merona Skinny Black Belt – Target $12.99
  7. Merona Small Black Clutch – Target $7.99

Total – $136.06

The Angie’s List Guide to Fall Cleaning

When the leaves and temperatures start falling, we at Angie’s List are making our homes cozy and comfortable for the months ahead. Make sure your fall is fantastic too by letting Angie’s List help you find the best professionals to give your home the seasonal care it needs.

Guide to Fall Cleaning

1. Clean those gutters. Those leaves sure are beautiful, but if you let them collect in your gutters, you risk serious water damage to your house when the gutters overflow. Give yourself with peace of mind by hiring a professional to do a complete cleaning.

2. Love your lawn. Besides spring, fall is the best time to show your lawn a little TLC. With weed control and reseeding, a fully fertilized and aerated lawn will reward you in warmer weather with lush landscaping.

3. Seal the leaks. Be green–and save yourself hundreds of dollars in utilities–by insulating your home and applying weather stripping along any air gaps. A professional home energy auditor will help you save even more money by finding areas of energy loss you may have missed.

4. Service your furnace. An annual inspection will make sure your heat is running efficiently and will warn you of any potential carbon monoxide leaks in the gas line before the furnace kicks into high gear for winter.

5. Check the chimney.  Dreaming of evenings around the fireplace? A good, professional chimney sweep will ensure that your fireplace is fire-worthy and free of any hazards or defects. Then, sign up for local firewood delivery so the fire never dies!

You can rest easy this fall when you hire the right professionals to do the job and save yourself the time and trouble. With Angie’s List, you can find local, quality service providers quickly and easily, along with exclusive, members-only service discounts from a wide range of professionals.

Join Angie’s List now, and for a limited time receive 30% off your membership with promo code Ebates30.  Act now, this special discount is only available until Sept 11th.

Tips for Getting the Most from Your Hard Earned Dollar!

Roseann Giannone (Rosey The Coupon Coach) has over 25+ years of experience in teaching families how to save thousands of dollars a year on anything from groceries to travel. Check out Rosey’s blog at www.roseythecouponcoach.blogspot.com or on Facebook.

1) Buy clothing and shoes off season! I save up to 90% on our clothing and shoes buying off season. That means purchasing what we need (or want) at the end of the season and putting it away for the following year. Styles (even designer brands) do not change that drastically from year to year. Buy a size larger for your children. Even if they grow quickly and grow over the size you haven’t invested that much money in the item to get upset over it. I’m certain you will be able to sell that brand new with tags item at a yard sale or to a friend who will be thrilled to obtain that item for their child at such a great price. Some stores like Kohl’s (13% Cash Back) will accept your returns even up to a year or more old as long as they still have the tags attached and you have your receipt.

2) Get rid of that expensive fancy cell phone plan! You are throwing away your hard earned money each month paying for that fancy cell phone plan. I dumped ours years ago because we were paying for minutes that we never used. If you are a big cell phone user then I guess it is worth having the fancy phone and expensive plan but I save a bundle each year using a pay as you go plan like Tracfone! It cost me about $110.00 per year per cell phone to have cell phone coverage with the latest phone but we are not big users and it works well for our needs. Tracfone now has a triple minute plan that you can buy and each time you renew your yearly plan you will receive triple minutes. Ebates merchant Best Buy (1% to 3.6% Cash Back) carries Tracfone phones and plans, and the best part is you will get a cash back bonus from this merchant.

3) Grow a veggie garden! Get together with some friends/neighbors and see if they can grow something different so that you can all share in the bounty. We grow tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, melons and lot’s of herbs each year. Even if you only have the room to grow herbs in pots on your windowsill then do so. Check out the vast selection of seeds and instructional videos that Burpee (7% Cash Back) has to offer. It’s free and a wonderful resource for great deals on seeds and information.

4) Don’t purchase items you really don’t need. Make a list and stick to it when you go food shopping. Think twice before purchasing those pink shoes – exactly how many times will you wear pink shoes? Weigh the cost of a repairs vs. new – you would be surprised how much more life you can get out of that washer with a simple repair. If you are handy there is a wealth of information on the internet on how to do your own repairs. If the project looks too overwhelming then don’t tackle it, call a professional but be sure to get an estimate before he starts the work. Don’t trust any of the local professionals? – Join Angie’s List (2% to 27.5% Cash Back) it’s well worth the small fee you have to pay each year to get the valuable information on her list. My blog followers are thrilled with their memberships to Angie’s List for peace of mind in knowing that no one can pay to be on Angie’s List, but they have to earn their reputation on the list with A+ ratings from people like you and I.
