Meet Jackie - Bargain Finder

What do you do at Ann’s?

I always have my eyes and ears open for great wedding and pre-wedding event bargains – from products to décor to free stuff! I gather inspiration everywhere, from my own travels, pop culture, fashion trends… it’s my job to make sure you hear all about it! And all the while I’m thinking about your shopping experience and how we can offer you new looks, ways to save and so much more!

Why do you love it?

It’s so much fun to share the thrill of finding great deals with other ladies that love ‘em just as much as me. Plus, I can’t help but love weddings. I’m a girly-girl, what can I say? I LOVE MY JOB!

What does cheap mean to you?

A great value! Style doesn’t have to cost a fortune. I look high and low for great deals that fit styles of budget-conscious brides everywhere. I want a fantastic price for a quality item…and I’ll take those little extras and freebies, too. Who doesn’t love free stuff?

What do you bring to the blog?

I make sure you get the scoop on bargains, special deals and giveaways from Ann’s. PLUS, I’ll scout out great deals on other budget-savvy wedding sites, registries and more! Including giveaways and sweepstakes (wink, wink).

What is your personality/style?

My personal style is well-coordinated and classic with a little flair. I’ll kick it up a notch with red toenails and a red handbag, a unique necklace and coordinating heels, an animal print scarf or a trendy, colorful top. I’m a busy girl, so I always try to accessorize with items that make life on the go doable.

What is something the reader might not expect about you?

I am not a DIYer. I can admit it. ;) I do have vision for looks and styles, so I work with Robin and Carynn to bring them to life just for you.
