¡Felices Fiestas! Happy Holidays!  I know we only one day from Christmas, but I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't mention the AFTER Holiday Sales coming up!!!  If you think you are seeing great discounts now, wait until the stores open on December 26th. 

It doesn't matter what part of Florida you are in, stores everywhere will mark down (even more) prices to get rid of their Holiday inventory.  I am sure some of you are saying: "There is no way I am stepping a foot inside a mall any time soon!" But trust me ... listen to me ... this is the time to go to the stores!!

If you are going to be near St. Augustine, you need to stop by St. Augustine Premium Outlets.  Their sales begin on Dec. 26 and last until Jan. 4. (Stores open at 8 a.m. the day after Christmas.) Visit their web site for a detail list of all the sales going on in their 85 stores; among them are discounts at Ann Taylor Factory Store, Brooks Brothers,  Coach, Tommy Bahama and many more.  This outlet center is located near Jacksonville and Daytona Beach.

 If you will be in Orlando , the Orlando Premium Outlet stores will also have the same operating hours and sale dates. Stores such as Kenneth Cole will have 30 to 80 percent off their retail prices after Christmas and Zenga will offer 70 percent off their winter collections.

So after taking in the holiday cheer, put on a comfortable pair of shoes and hit the stores again on  Dec.  26. It will worth it!  And if you are still in the holiday spirit, why not take advantage of these sales and start early on your shopping list for next year!

Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping!
