What's the latest with catalogues? Are they merely an antiquated relic of the past?

20 years back, catalogue shopping usually resulted in savings, but is that still true? Yes! You just have to know when to start looking.

1. KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS
Shop off season. Most brands are shifting season-less, but you can still save before that massive change occurs.

2. BALANCE YOUR CREDIT CARD
If you attain a credit card with a certain store that releases a catalogue (hello Nordstrom!) There are numerous ways to save with your benefits.

3. YOU GOTTA SHOP AROUND
How do you know if you what you've got is so good if there's nothing to compare it to? This goes for dating, jobs as well as clothing. Like many things in life, you'll most likely find yourself surprised by staggering changes in price for similar items.

4. NEVER PAY FULL PRICE
Paying full price is the most ridiculous thing you could do. Find coupons, codes, and other online promos. Take advantage of already low prices!

It is my sheer to delight to welcome all of you to the world of FIRMOO. Yep, your life will probably never be the same again. Check out these awesome shades FIRMOO sent. You won't believe the incredible price for this incredible quality. Worried about shipping? These babies crossed the world in 2-days. China to NYC, and I haven't taken them off since.. What do you think? I could probably write a love poem about them. Or maybe I'm still high from Valentine's Day.. Either way. International Women's Day is coming up on March 8, as is my birthday on March 4. Coincidence? I think not. It is time to cop a sweet pair of these for that special lady in your life! Thanks again FIRMOO!
