Shoe love: Dolce Vita for Target

I've received a lot of love regarding the sandals I wore on my recent TV appearance. Rightfully so! Have to say these Dolce Vita for Target sandals rock my wold, and they should rock yours for Spring, too. They give great height, are comfy and are super "in" for Spring. The wedge and stacked heels are totally 70s yet modern at the same time. Best of all, they have a zipper on the back (so fun!) and look like they should cost at least three times more than they do. Love when upscale brands do it up for Tarjay! DV sandals are usually $120 and up.

Check these out, and remember, if you spend more than $50 on qualified purchases (almost everything is) on Target.com, shipping is FREE! Easy enough to find accessories, beauty/make-up, etc., a few layering tanks or even household supplies. Might as well! Enjoy these... you're going to live in them!

Dolce Vita for Target Rope Wedge Sandals, $29.99

Also available in Black, Nude, Cognac

Two other Dolce Vita for Target looks worth checking out...

Cork Wedge Sandals in Pewter, $29.99

Also available in Black, Brown, Gold and White

Silver Wedge Sandals, $24.99

Also available in gold and pewter.



Divine Deal: Tea Duckie Infuser

Tell me this doesn't make you want to run to the kitchen to start heating up some water to get your tea on???

I need to get my hands on some loose tea leaves STAT so I can let this adorable little rubber duckie float peacefully along in my happy little mug. What's glorious is that not only is it super fun, but it's also super functional. I would never use this if it was just some cute, yet lame-o, floaty duckie with no purpose. But a tea infuser? Hold on a second! I'm sold. Simply let it float until your hot water reaches your desired brew strength.

Plus, it has a little blue stand that looks like waves that serves as a drip cup for when you take this yellow cutie out of your tea. At just $9.95 on Amazon, I think this is totally worth it because I know that at least for me, this would make me smile every time I used it, and it would be a total conversation maker if anyone saw me use it. Office meeting anyone?

Just found this while roaming online and fell in total lust with this whimsical little guy. It's also such a perfect gift for a tea-drinking friend or party hostess (get a set)!

Divine Deal: Gifts for Her

Time to shop! And, shopping for a gal can be so much fun. It can be challenging though because us gals are more likely to buy whatever we need instead of waiting for it for a gift. So, if you're searching for a gift for your sister, aunt, relative, friend, partner, co-worker, whoever, here's some suggestions to get you going.

When shopping, really keep in mind the person. Think about them, who they are and what they'd want. Just because you found "the coolest thing ever," it doesn't mean it's for them (though maybe it's for you!). And, maybe they're not into any of these items? Consider taking them to a cooking class, to a sporting event or concert, or another memorable experience you two can enjoy together.


CRAZY-COMFY SLIPPERS

You want comfy slippers? These are them. While I'm normally not a super UGG fan -- I mean they're OK but those boots have been worth to death and you can get so many affordable versions now -- these look like a slice of heaven. A total splurge for a gal in your life, she's likely to love you forever. There's a ton of styles I love, ranging from about $70-$140, and best of all, most come with a solid sole (of varying levels of thickness) so you can kind of get away with wearing them to run to the post office or another quick errand. And, if you live where it snows, you can pick up the mail without worry of losing a toe from frostbite! There's versions that do and do not cover the whole heel; your call! Here's the "UGG scuffette II" from Zappos for $70 (and love how Zappos has free shipping both ways!).
Lower price alternative: if the UGG brand doesn't matter to you, try this look-alike ($36) from Zappos for half the price!


HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE

I should tell you I'm a chocolate expert. A few years back I did a chocolate tasting for a friend's magazine article. We tested chocolates from $2 to $100 a box and this chocolate was the clear winner. It's called Vosges Haute Chocolat. What makes it so special is that not only is the chocolate such high quality, but they infuse it with the most interesting ingredients. While the basic milk and dark chocolate bars are perfect, infusions for the truffles and bars include curry, ancho & chipotle chiles, Michigan cherries, applewood bacon & sea salt, ginger and wasabi, almonds, everything! It's really something special. Check out the site; there's a number of options under $30. My recommendations: the dark exotic candy bar collection with nine mini bars ($25); the holiday mini candy bar library with nine mini bars ($25) or one of the truffle collections ($26). Promise this is worth spending money on. Your gift receiver will savor every bite.

COZY WINE SLEEVES

Want to bring a bottle of wine to a fab hostess for a holiday party this season? Wrap it special! How festive is this 'sweater' sleeve made from vintage sweaters and hand sewn? It's thoughtful, special and one-of-a-kind. Instead of a lame little note somehow affixed to the side of the bottle, here's a way to really show you took the time to care... and it makes sure that your vino stays cozy! Who doesn't want that? Best of all, this thoughtful gift only runs you about $9.99. We say, yes please!
TAGG tip: if you're a tad bit creative, try making these yourself! Find the fabric, or buy a sweater at goodwill, pull together around the bottle and wrap with ribbon. Voila! For a tacky sweater party, would be hysterical if you did this with a hideous sweater as a hostess gift!


GLEE... anything

Do you have a GLEE-K in your life or a wanna-be? Well, then you must purchase at least one of these two items: Glee, the music, the Christmas album ($9.99). Umm, hello... joyful holiday music sung by our country's most popular, nerdy high school students?! Yes, please. Sign me up. Another option? Glee, the complete first season on DVD ($38.99). Whether it's someone who's a full-fledged gleek who gets up and dances and faux sings to the songs (don't judge) or if you know someone who's been meaning to watch, this is absolutely perfect. Feel free to package it along side some popcorn or your giftee's favorite treat.




SWEET READS

I wish I read more. That being said, sometimes I just feel like I need personalized book recommendations by someone who knows me... or, I just need the books in my house. One year for my birthday a girlfriend who's a totally book nerd in the most glorious way asked me what I wanted. I said your favorite books that you think I'd love. Needless to say, I devoured the pages! While this gift isn't for everyone, which is? Maybe you loved the Harry Potter series and every time you mention it you have a friend who keeps saying, "man, I'd love to read that." Well, get that gal started! Or, did you just read a NYTimes Bestseller that you know is a must for your sister? Treat her to it! And, explain in your card when you selected it... I'm telling you, it's the gifts from the heart that are the most well received! Play on Amazon to find your favorites (at the best price!) or the hottest new selections.

Divine Deal: Gifts for Him

I know, you're seriously stressing because now it's officially December, which means it's holiday season, which also means it's gift-giving season! And, men typically are just the worst to shop for. I'm amused I'm writing a "gifts for him" post considering I can never find anything for the hubs! He wants for nothing... it's awful I tell him. ;)

Regardless, this average gal is giving it her best effort! Here are some gift ideas worth checking out:

CORDLESS GRILL LIGHT

These may have been around forever but I'm just learning about them, and totally adore them. How cool to add light to a grill at night? Faboo! At just $16.92, this cutie is such a steal. It's LED operated, the lights last last up to 50,000 hours and it's cordless, too. There's other ones for a lot more (and I'm sure the Sharper Image one has one with an extra random bell or whistle) but this one seems to do the trick at a fraction of the price. Check out the details here.



KINDLE
I have to include it. While I'm a gal who prefers reading the book, turning the pages and whatnot, I do understand the value of the Kindle, especially if your man travels, doesn't have room for a lot of books or isn't typically the book-reading type. This just might get him into it! And while it's $139 (includes WiFi), prices have dropped significantly in recent years and it's really only the cost of what, 7 or 8 books. Plus you're saving trees! Store up to 3,500 books, get a month of battery life with just one charge, and receive books within 60 seconds from ordering. See, you're giving your man instant gratification for the holidays. Ooohhh la la.


GPS NAVIGATOR

While many new cars come with the handy GPS navigator, many of us -- including any men in our lives -- are still lacking them. And, since men historically hate to ask for directions, what could be a more perfect gift?! Love this Garmin wide-screen, Bluetooth portable GPS navigator for just $114 (reg. $219!). It's so portable it can even fit in your man's back pocket if he doesn't want to leave it in his car. This version, for an extra $10-$15, also adds real time traffic information. SO worth it.


COOL, DAYTIME LOAFERS

Finding daytime shoes for men can be problematic. I don't want my man in gym shoes or dress shoes, just something nice and in-between. Enter: the loafer. Now, before you stop reading once I tell you the brand of the loafers you're seeing, stay with me... they're Crocs, and they're crazy
comfy. And, look super stylish, right? I saw them a while back while looking for something else and was totally shocked. Got my bro to buy 'em and he's constantly rocking a pair of light greys. They look great and feel like you're walking on air (for a fraction of the price of a pair of Cole Haan's or some other fancy technology).  Test out this Santa Cruz style in Espresso (also awesome in the faded black). And, check around the site... there's some stylish heels for women, too. It's not just the dare-I-say awful clogs (sorry if you're a fan!). Promise.


iPHONE CASE

Need a total bargain, maybe a stocking stuffer? Check this out: these iPhone 3 and 4 cases are just a penny each (plus $3.99 shipping). Seriously! They come in a dozen or so colors ranging from blue, orange, black and red to white, hot pink, turquoise and fuchsia. You cannot beat a fun-colored case for under $5. It's so inexpensive because they're a startup, but they didn't skimp on the quality. At this price, buy a dozen to hand out anywhere! 

NOT-SO-ORDINARY DRINK DISPENSER
Your man a golf guy? If so, how hysterical is this? No more having to worry to bring/carry drinks. Fill up the golf club with water, beer...Jack! Who will know? Can fit up to 54 fl. ounces of your man's favorite beverage. The battery operated pump serves the drink at the touch of a button. While just slightly kooky, leave it to Sharper Image to come up with something totally useful (one less thing to separately carry!) that we hadn't thought of before. And if you had, sorry... there goes your million dollar idea! The drink dispenser is $99.99 (with free shipping).


These not working for you? Other options:
Tickets to a sold-out show (check stubhub, ebay and craigslist); a guys day out complete with a sports game and beer (no complaining allowed or send him out with his guy friends, no guilt allowed either!); magazine subscriptions (Amazon has serious deals right now!);  or have him pampered at a local spa with a massage and facial. You can never gift that gift too many times! Good luck, and hope this gal helped. xo

Divine Deals: Lots of options

Good day, and happy Friday! What a happy Friday, indeed. Not only am I typing hardly able to contain myself because my gorgeous, sweet little daughter is turning one tomorrow (!) but there's so many deals around town that I just want to start shopping. Eek, don't tell the hubs!

Here's a few deals that you should know about:

APPAREL
For those that live near a Nordstrom Rack, get excited: spend just $25 for $50 worth of shoes, apparel and more at this totally fabulous designer discount store. The deal is available for purchase through Groupon until Monday, and you can use the gift certificate until Dec. 31. Perfect for holiday shopping (for you or someone else; don't worry, we don't judge!).

Another Groupon perk? They've extended another national deal where you can get a $50 gift certificate to American Apparel for just $25. Perfect spot for basics (think layering pieces) and I hear their thigh-high socks are out-of-this world. Wear under high boots, with short skirts or for a lazy night on the couch. The Groupon certificate expires Feb. 19, 2011.

SHOES

One of my favorite online discount shoe retailers, 6pm.com has some swoon-worthy sales this weekend. Boutique 9 is up to 75 percent off. There's adorable flats as low as $30 and check out these heels for just under $60? Tell me you wouldn't get a million compliments on these puppies and wear them for years? Great purchase, I'm kind of obsessed.

6pm also has boots Under $50 and Under $100, depending on your price point. Shop early for the widest selection of sizes and styles.

EAT
If you don't buy restaurant gift certificates online for yourself, you're missing the boat. I'm frequently eating at my favorite restaurants for 50-80 percent less than the peeps sitting next to me. Many cities have local options -- for example, I'm always taking advantage of South Florida Dines (use promo code FOOD for an extra 20 percent off this weekend!) -- but Restaurant.com is one of the best options for a discounts at restaurants around the country. Right now, get certificates for hot spots in your area for  80 percent off, just use GOBBLE at checkout. Yes, that's $2 for a $25 gift certificate!!!!

OK... last but not least, just check out your favorite store, and visit our holiday shopping tips for more ways to save.

Why spend full price when you get exactly what you want for less?! -- the average gal. xo

Web Love: Fiverr.com

Where were we before Internet? It cracks me up what's out there. I mean, you can find anything and everything! My latest amusement: Fiverr.com. Have you heard of this?? It's a site where people share things they're willing to do for $5 (hey there, get your mind out of the gutter!).

You can buy or sell services, or just poke around the site to see the utter randomness people have for sale. I saw this site on The Nate Burkus Show and love it.

Here's some examples of what you can buy:

• I will write a jingle for your company for $5
• I will write and send a personalized note from Santa to your child for $5
• I will prank call anyone as Arnold Schwarzenegger and wish them Happy Birthday for $5
• I will read your fortune with Tarot cards for $5
• I will make a tough decision for you for $5

OK, you get the idea. How fun, right? Worse case, you're only out $5! All that gets you these days is a footlong at Subway or a teeny vanilla latte at Starbucks.

Let us know if you take advantage of one of these five dolla deals!

I'm salivating thinking about this coming my way in the mail!! My day is officially made.

Fab Find Make-up at a great price!

Must tell you about two totally fab make-up lines with super deals today and through the holiday season.

Stila, a great line of quality make-up known for its gorgeous line of colors and awesome packaging, is starting its holiday gift packages. I'm a procrastinator, so it's a little early to be thinking about gift giving but never to early to take advantage of super deals on awesome products, be it for me or someone else.

You MUST check out some of these sales. For example, check out this "trendsetting in tokyo" palette that let's you sample all of these colors for just $10! $65 value here. And how adorable is the packaging?? Take this everywhere with me! Love the fun eye shadow colors and bright multi-use pink shade. 

And, this Stila lip glaze set for just $25. Seriously? It's a $110 value that let's you sample every color all-season long. Totally loving this for me AND some friends, fam and coworkers. Every gal under the sun would love this as a gift.

There's so many other deals at Stila, too, in all price ranges. Totally worth roaming around there for a while to check it out.

Now, if you're going the more economical route, e.l.f is where it's at. It's super-discount make-up available online. I've ordered a few items once before and was very pleased with the eye shadows and nail polishes. Can't comment on the other items; it's been too long. However, for these microscopic prices, test out a few items and colors you've been wanting to without the worry that you're dropping $150 on who-knows-if-I'll-really-wear-that-color-after-I-leave-the-pushy-saleslady. Plus, today only -- for Columbus Day -- get free shipping with any purchases over $15 when you use the coupon code SHIP. That could be a dozen products to play with. Woohooooo!

Here's one product to check out: This limited-edition eye shadow palette is just $10! Hold on, we're having a moment. This is freaking awesome.  Plan a girls night around this... meet at someones house and everyone gets a different color combination!

Another deal? These hypershine lip glosses for just $1 that Allure magazine raved about in its Sept. issue. They were partial to the baby pink and lilac colors called fairy and joy. For one buck, that's about a penny per application.

e.l.f has so many more options, including mineral make-up and a new bath and body line with fruity scents to test out. Let us average gals know if you discover a favorite new product!

Divine Deal: Fab Flats up to 70% off

If you're looking for fab flats, you MUST head here now. Sale goes through the weekend.

Up to 70% off all major brands including Nine West, Steve Madden, Taryn Rose, Kimball, Jessica Simpson, etc.

Adore these totally versatile grey Jessica Simpson flats for $27 (that also come in three other colors)! Tons of other great options in same price range to kick up my shoe wardrobe!

Divine Deal: Vistaprint

Are you familiar with Vistaprint? It's this awesome web site where you can get almost anything personalized, designed and printed that you'd like, often at a huge savings. I recently ordered biz cards for my blog (very excited; plan on passing out to random gals I see out and about!), and now plan on ordering a few more promo items thanks to these super sweet... umm, I mean FREE deals! Keep reading...

Vistaprint is giving away many items away for free... calendars, t-shirts, totes and more. Check out the scoop here. If you're looking for cute, customizable return address labels, you can also score 140 of them for... FREE. Details.

Plus, LOVE this: mommy cards! Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you're not your own person. I'm sure at least twice a week you wish you had your contact information down instead of doing one of those "give me your contact info, here's my cell" dances with someone. For as little as $1.99, here's your chance to have your own fab identity!

Take advantage of this divine deal to start branding your business, yourself or even your family!

Divine Deal: Up to 70% off Enzo!

A total classic; just $29.48

Awesome shoe sale alert: Score Enzo Angiolini shoes for up to 70% off. Lots of stylish flats, fab heels for work and awesome boots, for under or around $50! The same you'd see at Nordstrom easily for $100+.


LOVE! Pair these with everything; $39.60



If you're in the hunt for some great new, quality and comfortable shoes, these are a total steal. I find that Enzo's run pretty true to size.

Check 'em out here: http://bit.ly/ayaPKi.

Kind of drooling over this pair of grey suede boots for $44 (reg. $159)!



Dresses, skirts, skinnies, oh my! $44.32



Savvy Style: Knee-High Boots

Fal gal and TAGG fan, Kelly, had a request that we just had to help her with. We're that nice! Keep on readin... and, do you have a question, fashion, relationship or anything? Ask away!

Q: Can the Average Girl's Guide help with some knee-high boots? Not the over the knee boots -- just to the knee. I'm trying to find the best quality for the best price. I'm walking a lot so something with a low heel or a wedge. And, something I can wear to school and wear out with a dress. There are so many buckles and things out there right now -- but I need something classic that will last a couple of years. That's a tall order I know. That's why I'm asking for help!

A: Kelly, happy to help! Here's eight options under $150 that are all classic styles (most have other color options, too). There's so many fun styles and different heights (love the bootie) but I resisted. I know you're hesitant with buckles and extras, however when done tactfully they are classic. They keep coming back and will be here for a few more seasons (all us average gals can't afford to throw out our boots every year!). Plus, they add a little something when transitioning from day to night.... which you're looking for. Also, if you're concerned about less expensive brands, I have a pair of grey Target mini-wedge boots from two seasons ago that are still super comfy. Just see what works for you!
