FREE Old Navy Shorts Party!

Free Old Navy Shorts Party!

One of my favorite sites helped me host a FREE Old Navy Summer Shorts Party… Crowdtap sent me coupons that allowed me AND 3 friends to head over to our local Old Navy store for a super fun product party!

Summer Lovin’

Each of us got to choose a FREE pair of Old Navy shorts, FREE summer top, and FREE accessory to compliment the look. Awesomesauce, right? We had a blast choosing outfits for each other, and each left with an amazing new summer look. Plus, with the great deals at Old Navy, we could each afford some “extra” purchases too.

Camera problems = No Fun Pics! Big bummer.

I took bunches of fun pics to share of our product party, but unfortunately, the computer program that lets me download pics is not working. Camera and computer are NOT playing nicely, and I’m working on a fix. So… I don’t have any fun pics to show you of the great outfits we bought!

This is the best I can do to share our good times… My outfit started with these super-versatile shorts, and I added this sheer tie-side tank top in white, with a fun yellow striped tank top underneath. I added some great sandals to complete the look! There are SO many affordable pieces at Old Navy that I was also able to get a couple of additional outfits for me, AND a cute 4th of July outfit for the baby, and accessories for us both! Love it.

Want in on the fun?

Joining Crowdtap is easy peasy! Get started by checking out their site here, and join me as a Crowdtap member. Then, participate in the polls and discussions, share your opinions with brands that need your feedback, and soon you’ll get a chance for super-duper fun events like this too!

Hey you Crowdtappers…. What was YOUR favorite Crowdtap experience so far??

{Frugal Fun} Stylish French Picnic for under $12 per person!

How to plan a stylish French picnic for under $12 per person… Sparkling wine included!

Check out the newest post today on LearnVest to find out how YOU can host a fancy-pants picnic on a budget! A picnic is so much fun in the summer… You can pack one for the park, and let the kids run off some energy after dinner, {yayay for easier bedtimes!} or even just put together a great picnic style lunch to entertain at home with friends.

A few of the tips you’ll find on the site:

Have a French picnic potluck! Ask each guest to bring one of the simple items needed… Baguettes, cheese, fruit, and of course, most important, the wine.
Read some of their favorite inexpensive summer wine choices, like the $9 Château Montaud Rosé 2009, and how to keep them chilled during transport.
And how to set up a fun spot for your picnic, including blanket placement, music, and more!

I love LearnVest!
