Foxy Lady

Wish you had an endless shopping budget?  Dreaming of the day you can update your wardrobe each season without a care in the world, try the latest trends without looking at price tags, and rock your spanking-new clothes like a boss?

Me too!

As nice as all of that would be, rest assured:  you don't have to spend a million bucks to look like a million bucks.  Now, it does requires some hunting and a keen eye, but you can update your wardrobe without breaking the bank if you know how to "go cheap" without looking cheap.

Take this outfit for example:

Outfit Breakdown:

Fox Sweater:  Old Navy (bought on sale last year for about $15)  

Shopping tip:  Wait til Oct 3 for Stuff &  Save and snag their current fox design for $13.20 

(that's 40% off the already discounted price of $22)  Holla!

Jeans:  Forever 21 ($7.80)  <---- that is not a typo.  Buy some.  Now.

Booties:  Kmart (currently on sale for $25)

I'm no math whiz, but based on my calculations, this whole outfit ran me about $48 dollars.  It's a perfect example of how it is possible to be on-trend without going broke.

Does bargain hunting stress you out?  Think this is all too much work?  Worried you may have undiagnosed Shopping Anxiety Disorder (SAD)?  Have you begun to sweat?  Do you swear that's a hive emerging on your left forearm?  Take a deep breath and hire me as your personal shopper to do all the dirty work for you.  I can save you time and money for FREE. What's not to like about that?  Sign up here.

When I show you how to put an outfit together for under $50, it will be high fives all around.  You might even break out your happy dance, because not only will you look cute, but your kids might even get to go to college.  BONUS!

My Happy Dance.
Hey, no one ever said it was pretty...

Love ya like I love good deals, 

xoxo

Pretty and Plus-Sized

Beauty, might come in all shapes and sizes, but finding on-trend plus size clothing can be challenging.  The fashion world seems to forget that the average woman in America wears a size 14 - far closer to the plus size shop that the juniors department size 0 walking down every runway.

Since lack of shopping options can be frustrating for fuller-figured women, I wanted to make sure that I catered to all sizes with my personal shopping business.  I am dedicated to finding wearable, affordable fashion for everyone.  I love making my clients' lives easier by saving them time and money.  No need to waste hours walking the mall only to come home empty handed.  Let me design a virtual catalog just for YOU based on your needs, your style, your size.

Let me show you what I'm talking about.

I've been busy curating a bunch of catalogs on shopyourway.com and right now I'm pulling pieces for my Pretty and Plus-Sized look book.

Right now it includes favorites from Sears, Kmart, and Lands End, but over the next few weeks I'll be adding more pieces from other brands and clothing lines.

What do you think?

Love the idea of your own, personalized online catalog?  Want me to shop for you?  Sign up as my client here.  It's fun, and best of all, it's FREE!  Oh, and I'm giving away $100 to one lucky client. ;)

Can not wait to shop for you - be you a 2 or 22 ;)

Two for Tuesday: Shopping Kmart Smart

Oh that's right kids:  Kmart - and not just because I'm a personal shopper for Sears/Kmart/LandsEnd or because BOGO shoes are always a good idea, (they are) but when you combine cute shoes, BOGO and Kmart's already low prices, that's when the magic happens.

I know what you're thinking:  Kmart?  Really?  My grandma shops at Kmart.  Not very magical...unless house slippers really get your motor going...

Not so my friend.  Not.  So.

If you haven't been in Kmart in a while, you will be pleasantly surprised: this aint your grandma's Kmart...not by a long shot.

I mean, check out these two fantastic sandals that I scored at Kmart's BOGO sale yesterday:

I wanted to take pics of these on my feet, but I am in desperate need of a pedicure, so yeah... not.  happening.
(you're welcome)

1.  Route 66 Women's Slingback Thong Barbina - Orange $16.99

2.  Bongo Women's Ornamented Sandal Whisper - Blue $19.99

I know, I know.  Super cute.  Super affordable.  You think my shopping skills are stellar.  You wish I could be your personal stylist, teach you my ways, get you super cute shoes at super low prices...

Well, lady, wish no longer.

This is EXACTLY what I do as a personal shopper and I do it FOR FREE.  No strings.  No obligation to buy.  Just a free service to save you time and money.  And just when you think this deal can't get any better, when you sign up as my personal shopping client you get $5 in free rewards points, 90 days of free shipping, AND entry in a drawing for a $100 gift card.  Ri-dic-u-lous!

I'm sure you can't sign up fast enough, so here's the link:  Make Jenny Sanzo my Personal Shopper! 

Can't wait to shop together!  (And buy cute shoes!!!)

No Anybody See Me

Good Morning!

Things are pretty crazy over here at Casa del Sanzo.

I had three [work-related] events this weekend.  And now I need to write about each of them for my local blog Flower City Fashion (preferably before I leave for Florida TOMORROW...  Eeek!).

I'm also in my last week of my trial period as a personal shopper for Shop Your Way (Sears, Kmart, Lands End).  So I'm busting my hump big time for that too - hoping to get more people to sign up as my clients.  I'm really having a blast with it.  I finally figured out how to get paid to shop!  Ha!  And I love that it doesn't cost my clients a dime.  I help people shop.  Sears pays me.  The end.  Want to give it a try?  Sign up as my client here.  Then you can view some of the catalogs I put together featuring mom-on-the-go looks, girls night out must-haves and some great deals on active wear - but you need to be a client to see them!

Tomorrow I'm flying solo with the little beasties, so pray for me.  And if you see some crazy lady and her kids getting carted off a plane on the evening news, well, it's probably me.

The good news is (if we make it there without any arrests) I'll be in the Sunshine State for almost month with Grandma and Grandpa so I'll have some help with the beasties, which should translate into time to write.  Wooo-hooooo!

And last, but certainly not least, I want to leave you with a little story.

On Friday Colt wanted to wear his new shirt ($2 Kmart find) to school.  He was so excited to wear it.  He kept saying "No anybody see me."  I'm all:  "Yep - no one has seen this shirt before buddy." He's rolling his eyes at me.  He gets his shirt. And again says:  "No anybody see me."  I put it on him and he looks at me and asks:  "You see me?"  And then it hit me like a ton of bricks:  the shirt is camouflage!  He thinks he's invisible!!!!!  So I say "No!  Where'd you go?  You're blending right in."  And he replies:  "Mommy...I here.  Ca-o-fa!"  (camouflage)  HUGE smile on his face!

Can you see him?

Because of Colten's apraxia, it's hard to know what he understands and what he doesn't.  It was so cool to know that he understood what camouflage was.  We're only just now starting to have exchanges like this - and while they make me hopeful about his progress, they also make me realize all that I've missed; all the things that have been unsaid, unasked, unanswered.  But, we are moving forward - and thats the best direction to go.  I still feel so blessed to have been able to go to Michigan and work with Nancy Kaufman.  I credit her to where we are today and shudder at the thought of where we'd be without her.

Ok time to take Beastie #1 to school and go home and pack with Beastie #2.  Wish me luck!

Want Me to Be Your Personal Shopper?

Ever wish I could be your personal shopper?

Well, you’re in luck.

I’m now a Personal Shopper for Sears, Kmart, and Lands End.

I would love for you to be my client!

How it works is simple: once you sign up as my client,  every time you use your Shop Your Way Rewards Card I make commission and you earn valuable points.  I’ve literally gotten hundreds of dollars in free stuff from this program. (You can read about my love for Shop Your Way here. Note: this was written BEFORE I was even a personal shopper).   So you run into Kmart for diapers? Cha-ching. Get a washing machine at Sears? Making bank. Cute sweater from Lands End? Rolling. In. The. Dough.

As your personal shopper you can contact me to help you with any shopping or home/auto services under the SHC umbrella. Need shoes to wear to your sisters wedding? Done! Price compare flat screen tvs? I’m on it. New vacuum? In the bag. Want to throw out everything in your closet? Let’s go shopping! I’ll tell if you those pants make your butt look big...I promise!  The list is virtually endless - and you get these services for FREE. I help you shop and Sears pays me. I’m thinking this is a win - win how about you?

Signing up is easy but I have noticed one glitch in the process. After step two, the button you click says “I’m done” when there is still one more step left. Oops!  You still need to click the top box on the next screen to accept the personal shopping terms and conditions.
