This week, I am vacationing in California. Yesterday, I came across a boutique called Therapy. At first glance, it appeared to be more of an odds & ends store but their clothing & jewelry selection surprised me. I found a lot of cute clothes but very rarely in my size. I’m not sure if it was because they were picked over at the time or because they only order a few items of each size (like most boutiques do). The prices were definitely reasonable. Most of the items I picked out were between $30 & $70.

After having no luck in their clothing department, I decided to check out their rings. I ended up finding two rings that I absolutely loved. I got an over-sized gold bow ring for $14 and a double finger rhinestone ring for $16. A similar double finger rhinestone ring can be found at CoutureCandy.com for $101. If you are looking for rompers, fun print skirts, one shoulder dresses, odd & end gifts or the perfect accessory, you will definitely want to check this place out! They have stores in San Francisco, Mountain View, Campbell, and Burlingame. You can check Therapy out online here – online store said to be coming soon!

When I first saw the Rhinestone Cowgirl just across from Oklahoma State University, I wasn’t exactly sure what to think. After walking around campus for a bit, I decided to go in and I am sure glad I did. The Rhinestone Cowgirl featured some of the most creative and original items (most OSU related) that made me incredible jealous that we didn’t have a store like this at Florida State. They had everything from cuter-than-the-university-bookstore shirts to school spirited necklaces to jeweled jewelry boxes & more! If you are ever in Stillwater, Oklahoma, or maybe you are an OSU student already, make sure you check out the Rhinestone Cowgirl. And while you are there, you can also check out Wooden Nickel which is only the next street over and carries a lot of popular brands and designers.

Orlando is filled with ways to waste your money. From Disney World to overpriced restaurants, you may find that keeping to your budget in Orlando may be nearly impossible. If you want to shop AND save money, you have to go to Prime Outlets Orlando. I went to Orlando with my family this past week. I live in Florida so I have been to Orlando many times before but never to this outlet mall, it was simply love at first sight. Prime Outlets Orlando has 175 stores including Victoria’s Secret, Juicy Couture, Coach, Saks Off Fifth, American Apparel, Betsey Johnson and more! I doubt there are many other places where you can get a Betsey Johnson dress for only $75 or a Victoria’s Secret bra for only $10. Prime Outlets Orlando was hands down the best outlet mall I have ever been to.

So if you’re ever in Orlando, you have to check out Prime Outlets Orlando. Your wallet will thank you!
