Usually, Gigi and I only post on Thursdays. But we have started doing an Annual Back to School shopping post in July and August which we have touched on in the past couple of years. First, a few things:
We believe financial literacy should be taught in schools so that everyone can make the best decisions on their purchases and investments.
We are not influencers. We are writers.
We do not receive money or any other compensation for our selections.
We ourselves have purchased multiple items from the establishments we list.
We see the value in purchasing quality clothes and accessories that will last and not fall apart and are made of natural materials with a few occasional non-natural exceptions.
We hate seeing students getting ripped off.
We believe in getting the best possible deal for the best possible items.
For this special post Gigi and I wanted to feature another sale which started this week we think is one of the best of the summer and it is France Luxe’s Sale on Sale. This is a fantastic site that sells high-quality hair accessories made in France and the L. Erickson line with some of their items made in Germany, especially the Swarovski® Crystal pieces.
This sale takes another 50% off France Luxe and L. Erickson sale items (discount automatically applied at checkout) and it usually happens twice a year: once in August and once in December. The selection is generous including hair bands, hair ties, barrettes, head bands, hair pins, hair spinners, combs, and even some jewelry. There is also a variety of colors to choose from. The sale just started this week and if you need hair accessories this is the very best time to pick some up. Please note for every 3 items you buy, you recieve one free mystery item. So, for instance, if you purchase 3 items you get a free item. If you purchase six items, you get a second mystery free item and so on. Gigi and I received a variety of different free items over time when we shopped there. Shipping is free if you purchase $50 or more.
France Luxe recently won a 2026 Cosmopolitan Magazine Holy Grail Beauty Award for their L. Erickson Grab & Go Pony Holders which are superb.
