Designer Item For Generic Price!

A lot of people ask how I get away with having so much name brand and designer items, and still keep my chin above water when it comes to my checkbook...

Well the answer is:

I'M THAT GOOD!

That, and the fact that websites like Hautelook, NoMoreRack, BeyondTheRack, 6pm, Overstock, Groupon, and many other deep discount online retailers exist!

Sure, I score a pair of really expensive jeans on eBay once in a while, but the majority of my high-end purchases are done on retail sites like these. These sites are usually better than buying from a individual like most do on eBay and other bidding sites. You usually get exactly what you are looking at, and retail sites have a lot less risk that bidding sites. Plus, a lot of they offer you credit towards your first purchase when you sign up or invite friends. Don't get me wrong, I love my good ol' eBay. It has its perks, and I find great deals. But, these websites are less time consuming, and almost worry-free!

So, when you get a chance, sign up for emails from any of these online retailers. If you make a purchase, let me know how it goes for you. But until then, keep shopping!

Fashion Is My Passion

For those of you who have hear of Glo, you probably are in love with what the site has to offer.

Glo is a sister site to MSN. It is basically an e-magazine, about fashion, new trends, beauty, relationship advice, home decorating, and much, much more!

You really need to check this out for yourself! My favorite "column" is the "Sidewalk Style". They basically photograph stylish women they chance encounter in some of the larger cities, and show that edgy fashion can be done by anyone! I also love the "Girl Crush" articles too.

This site is so glam, and I know you will be check it every single day for new articles! Let me know what you all think after you visit!

Share The Love

Right now KLEENEX will help you send a box of Kleenex brand tissue to a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, a family member, or any other person you can think of that needs a little pick-me-up this cold and flu season.

Its super simple! All you do is fill out the Sender and the Receiver info, include a personal message if you choose to do so, input the text (near the sender button, it is very hard to read at times), and send out the pack!

I did this the other week, and sent it to myself. I love that it is a cute mini box that would be good for in the car, a desk drawer, or maybe a locker. An added bonus to this offer is that it did not take very long to deliver, contrary to most freebies!

Enjoy!

NoMoreRack.com, Todays Retail Therapy

This is an amazing website! Some people may be turned away at how small it is, but if you are a penny pincher with an eye for name brand, this is a place you need to be checking out every weekday. I have scored deals like men's Caterpillar fleece jackets for $20, normally $124, women's Versace Red Jeans perfume for $10, normally $65, and MY FAVORITE DEAL, a 2010 vintage Barbie boxed set for $15, normally $50! I have also bought diamond and sterling silver earrings for my bridesmaids and a men's watch for my fiancĂ©e as a Valentine's gift (I sure hope he's not reading this!).

NoMoreRack.com only puts up 8 items per day for sale, but I guarantee, at the price they are offered, you could find a use for any of them. Deals are switched over at 11 AM central time Monday through Friday.

The 8 items typically include a kitchen item, a handbag, a baby/child item, a jewelry/accessory item, a beauty item, and a piece of women's clothing! Sometimes I will come across other things like designer jeans (men and women), perfumes, shoes, and much more. You will just never know till the deal switches over.

Also, take note that these items are DEEPLY discounted. Just the other day they sold Rock & Republic jeans for $65, normally $285! These deals simply CANNOT be beaten. Try as you may, you WILL NOT find a better price point (believe me, I tried).

Shipping is $2 per item. They tell you that delivery may take 2-3 weeks, but more often that not, mine arrive in about 8-9 days.

Be aware that they sometimes offer bonuses for signing up, such as $10 credit. Right now, if you provide me with your email, I can send you a $10 CREDIT to use on your next purchase! Just comment this post or email me at femaleextraordinaire@gmail.com! Or, try going about it this route and see if you have any success:




To redeem your $10 Credit: 
1) Register at this link for your NoMoreRack.com account 
2) Go to the  “My Profile” tab (top right) to select “Redeem Gift Card” 
3) Enter code P1070 and you will receive a FREE $10 Credit


Be quick though, because these deals go fast. Items will remain in your cart for up to 15 minutes, but after that they are back out there. Sometimes, when you go back to the main page, there will be a banner over an item's image saying that it is reserved. Do not be discouraged! That just means that someone has it in their cart, but has not made the purchase yet. Most of the time if you are persistent and keep checking back, you will get what your heart desires.

If you have any more questions, please visit the FAQ page for NoMoreRack.com.

Good luck shopping ladies!

Welcome, One And All!

Hello :)

My name is Callie, self proclaimed "it" girl. I have fire and passion for just about everything that goes on in my hectic life, whether be it work, play, or my wonderful significant other, Sam.

For as young as I am (22!) I have a lot to say. And in order to voice my opinions and share my thoughts, I have decided to create this blog. I have also taken the initiative to kind-of, sort-of start my own business, Female Extraordinaire. Basically what I have to offer the world through Female Extraordinaire, are some of the things I do best:

Event Planning
Clothing Design, Repair, Construction
Craft Ideas
Simple, Tasty Recipes
Relationship Advice
Shopping Steals & Deals
Fashion Advice & Secrets
Beauty Recommendations
Product & Business Reviews
Money Making & Saving

Interested? I would hope so. I am still working out a lot of kinks right now, but I wanted to get a head start on getting myself out there. For now, my intent is to blog daily about one or more areas of my interest and passion. Additionally, my services will be offered to the people in the Northeast Nebraska area and beyond. I have not yet come up with pricing, but I can bet you I will be an affordable investment when it come to planning your wedding, creating you a custom outfit, helping decorate your space, making the best hors d'oeuvres and appetizers for your dinner party, and more!

For now, if you have any questions, please email femaleextraordinaire@gmail.com to get a hold of me.

Stay tuned for more info!

Sincerely,
"It" Girl, Callie Reeves
