ABOUT: Charming Charlie Shopping Spree

Hey Everyone! So the last few days I have had some viewers ask about my Charming Charlie discount, and how I snagged such good deals, or "What is Charming Charlie"? So I wanted to answer all of your questions here in one post :)

Q. What is Charming Charlie?
A. Charming Charlie is an accessory HAVEN! They just built one next to the ULTA that I work at, so I am in there all the time. The store has clothes, shoes, purses, scarves, jewelry, etc. Everything you need to be super girly! Check out their website for more information: http://charmingcharlie.com/

Q. How did you get a girls night out/discount?
A. I actually put my name in a large fishbowl for their drawing. They selected my name and gave me a call to tell me I won, then I invited everyone I know!

Q. What did you get at your party?
A. Well, all of my guests got 20% off of everything they bought. I got the same, plus we all got our Charming Charlie discount for having a club card, which is 5% if you already have a card or 10% if you just signed up.
I also got $5 off my entire purchase for everyone that showed up to my party and bought something. Oh, and we got free champagne! :) SNAZZY!! lol

Q. How do I get a discount at Charming Charlie?
A. Sign up for the FREE club card and you will get 10% off that day, and 5% off every purchase after that.

Q. Are they expensive?
A. Heck no! Most of the necklaces I got that night were between $4.95-$19.95. The most expensive one was $19.95, its the purple one I wore on my birthday. I also got several bracelets ($4-$6), some rings ($4-$5), and scarves ($14.95) that were all great deals!

I hope that clears up any confusion on my discounts or parties at Charming Charlie. I hope you all go find one near you and get some awesome deals!!
