Dressing Up and Having Fun with BuyCostumes.com

One of the things I miss about living in the San Francisco Bay Area is being able to find that perfect outfit for any cultural event. Nothing like shopping in Berkeley for agbadas, Hayward for kaftans, and San Francisco or Oakland's Chinatown districts for kimonos. Now that hubby and I are living closer to the Midwest, shopping has it's challenges. Several years ago, a friend turned me on to costume shops to find those one of a kind outfits at a reasonable price. Costumes? Yes, costumes.

One of my new fave online costume stores is buycostumes.com. Buycostumes.com has costumes for the entire family and feature some rather exquisite, yet affordable, wares. Take this Adult Geisha costume I ordered.

Priced at only $26.99 what a great way to make an entrance at last month's Lantern Festival Fundraiser. The costume came complete with obi belt, chopsticks and a fan. All eyes were on me and I felt absolutely beautiful.

My girls and I danced the night away and the costume is so nice hubby even asked me to wear it out to dinner one night. I was a little surprised but had a few people asking me where I bought my lovely kimono and when I told them it was a costume of course, "Oh wow, I never thought of that" was their response. Thinking out of the box saves money.

I've already got my eyes on one for the little old lady. I know she'd be absolutely adorable in this Teal Dragon Child's costume and since it's from buycostumes.com not only is is affordable and stylish, but it's adorable. I should note the pants and shoes don't come with this costume but at $24.99 what a deal.

So, change up your wardrobe and check out buycostumes.com for something special.

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing. The birds are singin'. The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up. So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound. It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year. Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach. 'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before. Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada. Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila. The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings. It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...

Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts.

The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima...
