The holidays are approaching at lightning speed and I’m dreading the crowded stores and the ever-growing list of people to buy gifts for! I mean seriously…do we HAVE to buy gifts for all the cousins? Can’t we draw names or something?

In case you’re wondering the answer to that question is no…in my family no one is organized enough to draw names a month before Christmas, which means we are just going to have to buy gifts for everyone.

Fortunately, Recessionista has a plan!

We can hardly stand the excitement surrounding the warehouse sale and all of the new product that we are debuting.

Much like last holiday season, we’re making shopping easier for you with amazing deals that you’ll only find on Recessionista.

We’ll have gift sets for $30, $25, $20 and even $15 dollars!

Scarves, hats and head wraps oh my!

And here’s a sneak peak at some of the sweet new items you’ll find in these gift sets…

To help you out with that holiday shopping (whether it’s for you, your family or your friends), we’re giving away

This week’s Must Know Monday, really got me thinking about how important coats are. Not only do they keep us warm, but during the cold months (which I have yet to experience, because it’s the end of October and it was 91 degrees here in Central Florida yesterday…gross!) a coat is an integral part of your wardrobe. The adorable outfit you have on underneath is not what people are going to see first. I just got an amazing trench coat that’s perfect for Fall from our sponsor 365 Hangers–stay tuned for a video on the look.  In the meantime, tell us….

Who Wore it Best?

Tell us your thoughts in the comments (including comments on how that doesn’t even look like Jessica Simpson…I’m still debating if it’s really her. Comments on how adorable Zoeey Deschanel is are also welcome.)!

And don’t forget giveaway love on the blog, twitter and facebook.

We are excited to be attending the What Women Want Expo in St. George, UT this weekend.  With amazing products and a whole room dedicated to pampering- we are pretty sure these people have figured out exactly what women want! Come check us out if you are in the area. If you’re not in the area (or even if you are) checkout this video of the expo – how fun does that look?

And since we are on the topic of “what women want” we thought it would only be fair to show our love to you and give you what you want…a jewelry set giveaway!

Enter by sharing our link on Facebook and Twitter and leave us a note telling us what you think women want in the comments box.

(Subscribe to us on YouTube for an extra entry…but shh it’s a secret for those of you who are really paying attention!)

P.S. Check out this GREAT Fall Fashion Favorites Video. We’re extending the contest to November 15th to give you ladies time to submit your videos!
