0 Comments

I hate boring old notebooks, pens, and journals. They aren’t much fun right?? Well, DiVOGA is introducing a new line of accessories at Officemax!

This new line is a limited-edition collection of stylish notepads, folders, binders, file totes and more. The design is based on European tapestries, calligraphy and toile, the DiVOGA Hadie collection is available in two color schemes – red & gold or blue and brown – exclusively at OfficeMax stores nationwide.

I am very impressed with this line. Everything is so well made and the colors? The colors are incredible! And the products themselves are so much fun to look at! I want 10,000 of the notebooks and journals. (Yes ladies, they are THAT cute!)

We really love the entire collection and it’s SO worth the money. And guess what? As much as we love pink, it’s not a PINK collection so even you pink hating girls will love this fashionable and affordable school/office accessories collection

You can find the new line at Officema.com or at Office Max stores nationwide.

College girls have to be fashionable too!

September 1st, 2011 by The Fashionable Housewife

0 Comments

Why does college have to be so expensive? With the cost of tuition, fees, textbooks, etc…I usually don’t have any money left over for school clothes. Not even a shirt!

I shrink when I see a textbook that I am required to get for a class and it costs $113! That’s a lot of money! Well, I’m here to tell you that there is an answer to all of this madness. Companies like campusbookrentals.com have created a way to rent textbooks so you only have to pay a percentage of the cost. So instead of paying $113 for a book, you’d pay $47! That’s $66 extra dollars that you can go buy an outfit with. (Please don’t check my math)

Here are some perks of renting from campusbookrentals.com:

campusbookrentals.com has partnered with Operation Smile to provide 1,000 cleft lip and palate surgeries to children in need. Since January 2011, they have already donated enough for 350 surgeries!

So, fashionable mamas out there! Rent textbooks, and maybe you’ll have just enough money left over to buy those school clothes you wanted.

Creative Storage!

August 16th, 2011 by Belle

0 Comments

I’ve always had a hard time finding creative ways to store things. I mean when I moved earlier this month I found out just how MUCH junk I had! Seriously! I have a ton of stuff! So I’m constantly trying to come up with creative ways to store my ~~junk~~ er possessions. (although I did get rid of 1/2 of my stuff when I moved! I’m not a pack rat! LOL!)

Anyhow, one way that I am creatively storing my items is with SnapNStore’s file box! This file box isn’t just for filing things (I’m currently using mine to keep all my misc. coin purses and stuff) it works great for keeping accessories, notebooks, papers, and makeup!

I love how sturdy it is and how fashionable it looks! It’s not boring at all! I also love that it folds flat for storage. Awesome eh?

I am also loving my lock box from Vaultz Products! It’s perfect for keeping personal/valuable items safe! This would be a great item to have for all you high school and college gals! It fit’s nicely in your lockers/dorm! Plus, the pink cheetah print is just adorbs don’t ya think?

I love both products from SnapNStore and Vaultz! They both rock!

Be sure to keep up with SnapNStore Products and Vaultz Products on facebook!

I’ve always been the type of gal who loves glitz and glamour. And I always hated my school supplies because they where SO boring. I mean who want’s to use plain old notebook and scissors anyways? Well, Office Max is defiantly sprucing school supplies up with their new Schoolio Line! I LOVE the Bling collection because, DUH It’s all blingly and girly!

I was sent some products from the Bling Collection from Office Max and let me tell you it did NOT disappoint! The products are insanely awesome and of course, blingy!

I love that Schoolio offers fashionable, affordable school supplies that enable students to show off their personal style while doing their best work. And, I also love that they are sold at Office Max (one of my fav. stores ever!)

I’m very impressed with the products from Schoolio and you can find Schoolio products at Office Max Stores nationwide…..
