Congratulations, Allison! Please e-mail us your selection from our shoe shop and your shipping information. (recessionistaparty(at)gmail.com)

Yesterday,I picked up the Handbook of Style (pictured left). I paid just $6 for this gem (at Francesca’s Collections) and I think that it’s going to spark a lot of interesting conversation here on the Recessionista blog. With topics like “How to spot a comfortable and sexy shoe” and “How to tie a scarf like a French woman,” I think this book will fit right into the Recessionista family.

Over the last week we’ve received such great feedback. You’ve told us what your families are like, what you enjoy reading about and so much more. We plan on going through all of your comments in the coming weeks and putting that information to good use. My personal favorite day was 6 days ’til giveaway. You ladies (and the occasional gentleman) shared your favorite blogs and websites. I must say that the sites you shared are fantastic! There is so much to read; I only wish I had more time.

We’ve picked our favorites (of your favorites) and given them mini reviews. Of course we recommend that you check out all of the blogs that were shared on that day.

The Fashionable Housewife – A great place to find giveaways, keep up on celebrity style and find some fashion inspiration for you and the kids!

Apartment Therapy – The amazing photos and drastic home decor makeovers on this blog might even inspire your husband or boyfriend to hang some extra shelving and pick up a paint brush this weekend. (We can only hope!)

How About Orange – There is something for the interior designer, chef and craft queen in all of us at How About Orange.

ModCloth Blog – Another hodgpodge of all things adorable– this blog incorporates fashion, books, music and more into a perfectly pleasant reading experience.

Keep sharing your favorite blogs and websites with us. We like to keep up with the blogosphere too!

Have any of you ladies made it to the warehouse sale yet? Did you take any photos while you were there? We’d love to feature them on our blog! E-mail them to recessionistaparty(at)gmail.com with a couple of sentences about your experience.

I can’t believe that our 10 days of giveaways has finally come to a close. We appreciate everyone’s participation SO much. We are so grateful to have our fellow recessionistas spread the word about our giveaways and our great deals. We are so thankful for all of the information that you have all shared with us over the last week and a half. We are definitely going to use that information to bring you blog posts about the topics that you want to read about! (Stay tuned for tips on how to build up your wardrobe without spending a fortune, dressing for your body type and where to get great deals and coupons on your favorite products.)

We hope that all of you ladies (and the occasional gentleman…we know you’re out there lurking for sweet deals for your wives!) in Idaho will join us today for our exclusive event at 2:00pm and we hope that you’ll spread the word about Recessionista’s warehouse sale (open to the public!) from August 19th-21st.

Just because the countdown to the warehouse sale has come to a close, doesn’t mean that the fun has to end. We’ll be back to discuss all of the fashion tips and trends that matter to you AND to give away designer shoes, handbags, accessories and more!

Yesterday’s winners…

Congratulations! Please e-mail your selection and your size to recessionistaparty(at)gmail.com.
We’ve been so caught up in celebrating our followers (by giving away the shop!) that we almost forgot that you are all cordially invited to an exclusive event.

Topic du jour: the handbag. My guilty pleasure! I love designer bags. It’s a problem. My handbag collection has outgrown my closet and outgrown the mirror with hooks in my foyer. It may not be healthy, but designer bags are one vice I am not planning on giving up anytime soon. I love handbags! Let me count the ways!

• I love handbags because they always fit, even on a fat day.
• I love handbags because they are never uncomfortable and won’t give you blisters (If yours give you blisters you really need to get that taken care of!)
• I love handbags because there are so many options …materials…colors….styles!

(Ok, there are many more reasons I love handbags, but to avoid appearing completely insane, I’ll spare you!) I know that you know where we’re going with this.

To enter, tell us how you feel about handbags (even if you don’t love them) and where you buy your handbags

Want a second entry? Tell your friends on facebook about this giveaway and have them tell us who sent them to enter!

Want a third entry? Tell us what fashion topics you enjoy reading about. What would you like to see Recessionista blog about?

There is little (or no) scientific research that explains why a woman can never have too many pairs of jeans. My own research has shown that jeans can be dressed up or dressed down. Having multiple pairs of jeans ensures that you always have options (light, dark, stretchy, low-waisted, high(er)-waisted, white-washed, embellished) to suit your mood. You don’t have to jeans as often as slacks (with all of our readers who have little ones with dirty hands, this is a huge plus). Dress jeans down with a burnout tee and a cap or dress them up with a necklace and earrings.

Do you see where I’m going with all of this talk about jeans?

To enter, tell us what the last three things you searched on google were! (Or any other search engine for that matter.)

Want a second entry? Tell us what you did yesterday, because (most of you) certainly didn’t visit our blog! Sunday must be a busy day for our readers and we’d love to know why.

And last, but certainly not least, yesterday’s winners…

Congratulations ladies! E-mail us your selection, size and shipping information to Recessionistaparty(at)gmail.com

I’m not quite ready to bid farewell to the Summer sun and the light, lovely, cotton attire that comes with it, but today’s giveaway makes the rapid approaching Fall very appealing. Judging by where most of you live (with the exception of the occasional Floridian), back to school shopping has begun and Fall is just a minute or two away! (Ok! I’m exaggerating a little, but you get my point.)

To help you update your Fall wardrobe…

If you’re ready for Fall, enter to win this giveaway by [virtually] grabbing 3 of your friends who don’t follow Recessionista. Tell them to follow our blog. (It really shouldn’t be too hard. Make sure you use the words “designer handbags”, “Michael Kors, Coach and Steve Madden Shoes” in your pitch. Girls love that stuff! You should know.) They can also follow us on facebook and/or twitter. Once they’ve followed, leave a comment with their names (or user names) and let us know where they are following us. One comment will enter all 4 of you to win!

Want more entries? Every purchase that you and your friends make from the Recessionista Shop today will give you an additional 4 entries. Just be sure to tell us what each of you purchased in the comments!

Let’s not forget yesterday’s winners…
