Better Than Tax Free Weekend at Carolina Premium Outlets

I don't know about you, but I'm always hunting for a bargain. I just LOVE a great sale. Which is why I'm REALLY excited for this weekend's "Better Than Tax Free" weekend happening at Carolina Premium Outlets. In lieu of a state-wide sales tax holiday, this is a super special treat!

Carolina Premium Outlets are located in Eastern NC, about 40 minutes away from Raleigh. This shopping center is complete with over 80 designer brands. So this Friday, August 7 - Sunday, August 9, NC shoppers can enjoy an additional 15 percent off [or more] on already discounted merchandise! Talk about a steal!

I have to work on Saturday, but on Sunday, I'll be there shopping my little heart out. Psssttt I'll also be taking over the Carolina Premium Outlet Twitter account on Sunday from 11-3 so I hope you'll come follow my adventure!

I can't wait visit stores like J.Crew (insert praise hands emoji!), Banana Republic Factory, Gap Factory, Nike Factory (hello new workout gear!) Sunglass Hut and... well, the list goes on and on. I've got tons of stuff on my fall wishlist and I hope to cross off quite a few them during this sale.

If you're not a Raleigh/Wilmington local, you can also shop at the other NC Simon locations like Concord Mills and Charlotte Premium Outlets.

Here are some additional details and links to all the products featured in the segment. 

 Design Essentials "Coconut & Monoi" line (shop here)

This line is SO perfect for summer - the natural Coconut and Monoi oils are just what your hair needs in order to quench it's thirst. Bonus - they smell absolutely AMAZING.

ShinyMix "Bubbly Glitzs" statement necklace (find it here)

Golden Arrow cuff bracelet (find it here)

Statement jewelry is one of my favorite ways to dress up any outfit - whether it's casual or more formal. A great crystal necklace pairs well with a white tee and jeans. Why not stack on a gold bangle with mixed metals or wear by itself for an eye catching accessory? Day or night, the options from ShinyMix will have your wardrobe and your budget thanking you!

 

Nicki Minaj "Lattice Halter Jumpsuit" (shop it here)

 

Nicki Minaj "Mesh Printed Scuba Top" (shop it here)

I know what you were thinking when you first heard Nicki Minaj and clothing line together - can I wear this? Guess what - you CAN! These are just 2 of my favorite items from her KMart collection. A jumpsuit is something every gal should own. It's like wearing pajamas - incredibly dressy pajamas! P.S. Don't forget to check back later this week for 2 ways you can wear this printed scuba top! 

Thanks for watching and have a great Monday!!
