Be among the first to make a few $10 purchases this week. Each card you obtain guarantees a reward of at least $10, but you might get lucky and score one of the bigger ones--the possibility is certainly worth the investment! Secret Reward cards are available from 10/30 until 11/28, and nothing's sexier than a little mystery...

Keep your Facebook deals off the newsfeed!

Every single day, there are thousands of great Facebook contests to enter and plenty of amazing offers to be had. But far too often, fear of a little thing I like to call "newsfeed judgement" (newsfeed judgement=harsh judgement of a person's occasionally embarrassing Facebook activity) overshadows a desire to score free loot.

Keep your money-saving ventures under wraps by following this simple tip: when the app consent page pops up, change your settings to "Only Me".

"Thank goodness nobody can see that I just secretly ordered a pair of Crocs."

This way, whatever you do in the app will be for your eyes only. When the next page pops up asking whether or not the app can post on your behalf click "skip".

So enter contests galore and don't be concerned if you see "Allison just won a free package of pantyliners in the Kotex Spin to Win game"! Because even if the app posts for you, you'll be the only one who is able to see it...no damage done. Good luck!

Wear your exact dream dress for less!

We have all, at one point in our lives, been guilty of red-carpet envy. It usually goes like this: girl sees dress, girl loves dress, girl wants dress but it costs $4,600. Now, I know you've got a piggy bank, but how many babysitting $20's can that thing really hold?

JOIN RENT THE RUNWAY HERE!

The solution: Rent the Runway. Rather than blowing your entire savings on a dress that you'll most likely only wear once, spend much less to borrow it! Rent the Runway offers fashionistas the exclusive opportunity to select gorgeous items from over 95 designers. With options for weddings, casual cocktail parties, holidays, dates and glam nights out, all fashion is current and guaranteed to make you feel like a million-dollar baby (only WAY hotter).

Once you've reserved your dream dress and accessories, you can expect a package on your doorstep by 8pm on the chosen date of delivery. If you're unsure of your size in a specific style, RTR always sends a backup size for free...and if you're not totally convinced you'll love it, you can get a second look for just $25! Expert stylists keep shoppers in the know with detailed notes on the fit of each and every style.

After you've dazzled entire crowds of people in your knockout ensemble, all you have to do is return your items for free in the provided pre-addressed envelope. RTR handles the dry-cleaning, and you've successfully stunned without spending a fortune.

So go on and wear that show-stopping dress without it becoming an expensive artifact in your closet. Get $25 off your first rental this week only by entering "25OFFRTR4783" at checkout. And if that's not enough, get $20 credit after your first purchase!

Splurge of the week 10/15

If ballet flats and men's loafers had a fling, smoking slippers would be their adorable lovechild. Inspired by your grandpa's famous late-night cigar clothes, each pair guarantees to be a comfortable and versatile addition to your already chic wardrobe.

So embrace your inner-smoker without the dangerous addiction and splurge on your very own pair...because smoking slippers are both fashionable and the world's answer for PHD (post-heel depression). 

Glam beauty deals!

As naturally beautiful as we feel inside and out, makeup undeniably adds an element of self-confidence to the everyday female.

Perfume: never ever pay retail!

24.99 instead of $57.90? Is that even a question!?

Digging for sale gold at discount stores can often be a daunting task...most of us just aren't looking for a purple turtleneck with rhinestones and a mysterious lipstick stain that's been unsold since Winter of '06. Luckily, there are plenty of current, unsoiled deals to be had.

For those who crave a great deal without sale-rack chaos, consider buying your fave perfume at places like Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Because perfume doesn't really go out of style, you never have to wait for last season's leftovers and the selection is always up to date.

Whether you wear Burberry Brit or Curious by Brit Spears, discount stores have a million options for 50% less than department store prices. All packaging, plastic-wrapping and contents are completely the same, so there's no need to worry about a half-empty bottle inside your box.

Tip: If you're buying perfume as a gift, whip out an old Sephora bag and some red tissue paper to mask your place of purchase.

Nothing says romance more than the shoe aisle at T.J. Maxx

When shopping, it's important to remember that price does not always affect quality. While you may not be interested in buying your wedding dress at a discount store or flat out having your reception there, things like activewear, exercise equipment and home-goods are pretty standard no matter where you snag them.

Tip: When you go to a discount store, it is essential to shop with a purpose. Have an idea of what you're looking for or you'll most likely come home with a new spatula and a yoga mat when all you went for was a belt.

Splurge of the week 10/8

Sparkle & Fade Cutout Knit Peplum Dress

Unless you live under a rock and/or your name is Bertha, you've probably noticed that the vintage peplum look is back in style in a big way.

Enormously flattering in all the right places, that little peplum skirt is the exact disguise we need as the holidays roll around...one should never be expected to pass up a fantastic looking cheese platter or Aunt Gwen's famous fudge cake.

Providing a slimming shield for that lower-tummy pooch we all despise, a peplum waist has got you covered...literally. Peplum also gives the body a sexy, ultra-feminine hourglass shape. Pair a peplum top with loose shorts for daytime or slip it over a pencil skirt for a chic professional (happy hour) look.

Urban Outfitters Cutout Ponte Knit Peplum Dress ($69) is totally splurge-worthy for this week, and if you don't live near a store, no worries...there's free shipping for all orders over $50!

Olivia Palermo style: get the look for less!

On Fridays we wear black.

After watching Olivia Palermo on The City, we've come to a very clear conclusion: hate the girl, love her style.

Who would ever think or dare to combine so many different bold pieces? This chic satin fit and flare dress is topped with a peplum-inspired, mixed-fabric bomber jacket. Belted to give the body some shape beneath layers of loose-fitting material, the look is softened (both literally and figuratively) with a chained fur handbag. The black pointed heels are basics, and you've probably had a pair since Sophomore sorority rush. 

If Olivia were a little bit nicer to our beloved Whit, perhaps we'd feel the littlest bit of remorse for stealing this fab look...but we don't. Thanks, LIVVY!

Groupon Now! Deals, save ASAP

Every once in a while, a busy schedule provides some unexpected and much appreciated breathing room. Just when you remember that your favorite studio has lunchtime Cardio Barre, you call and the class is already full. Of course it is. Before abandoning all hope of a midday workout, check Groupon Now! for other class vacancies in your area.

Depending on daily availability, you can grab anything from a last-minute massage at your neighborhood spa to half price sushi or 60% off at your favorite athletic-apparel boutique. The only difference between this section of Groupon and regular daily deals is that rather than trying to keep their nail salon busy until May of 2014, merchants might just be looking to fill a cancellation or an empty 4pm slot at a discounted rate.

Gone are the days of waiting 1 year for an appointment at your favorite Brazilian Wax and Vajazzling hot spot. Groupon Now! gives you more of an individualized deal experience, allowing you to view openings and choose the ones that work best for you. While your voucher expires on the day of use that was selected at checkout, if you end up not using your deal then Groupon, when contacted, will issue a refund.

So grab that last spot in 6pm hot yoga or BOGO sandwiches from the corner deli, because someone's gonna steal the deal and it might as well be you. Groupon Now!

Splurge of the week 10/1

If there's anything we've learned in the past year, it's that whatever Jessica Alba wears goes. No, but seriously...

Hand over the pants and no one gets hurt...

Camilia Floral Printed Skinniest Jeans

For the past couple of months, floral pants have been lining ritzy store windows worldwide. And while many of us aspire to look like delicately crafted flower arrangements, we weren't about to test that trend without prior celeb experimentation. Special thanks to Kristen, Beyonce and Jess for doing the honors. I am happy to officially announce that floral pants are, indeed, a thing.

Playful and elegant, floral bottoms are the perfect addition to your Fall wardrobe. Dress them up with heels and a solid blouse or throw them on with a simple tank for a sexy, effortless look.

For just $49.50, splurge on your own pair of adorable floral jeans from Pacsun (just as shocked with this find as you are). These Camilia Floral Printed cuties have the perfect balance of soft, delicate colors and charming, girly print. AKA, you've gotta have 'em.
