Mis favoritos y no tan favoritos de Premios Juventud ~ My favorites and not so favorites of Premios Juventud

Si ya paso la alfombra de Noches de Estrellas en "Premios Juventud" pero aqui les dejo quien me gusto y quien no me gusto en la alfombra... 

Yes "Premios Juventud" is over but here I share who I liked and who I didn't during the Noches de Estrellas celebrity carpet...

Me gustaron...

I liked...

Estos estaban bien pero mejor si hubieran escogido otros colores y no todo del mismo color y ojo mis cantantes urbanos miren que guapo se ve Nicky Jam.

These would have been nicer if chosen other colors and not dressed in the same color, a nice combination of different colors. Take note urban artists look how sharp Nicky Jam looks.

Pero estos...

But these...

Just too much much breast for the top

Ninel's outfits even during the award ceremony were just as bad

Nice color, top is acceptable but the bottom just too tight

Nice top but should have been paired with a shorter skirt

Have no idea what happened, she normally has nice choices but this outfit just didn't cut it

Would love to see J Balvin at least once with a better look for carpet event

I think Alejandra could have done better - the hair and the shoes 

Natalia would have killed it with this dress in a different color and shorter

Save big at Jumping Jeans Consignment 2015 event sale

Updated July 13, 2015

Get ready consignment shoppers in Tampa Bay and surrounding areas, Jumping Jeans Consignment 2015 sale event is back. As a fellow consigner for numerous consignment events, this is my favorite lately. Why? I can sell even my own clothes.

Don't know what a consignment event is? It is a building space converted into a discount retail store for a few days where merchandise: clothes, toys, furniture... are sold at reasonable to unbelievable prices. Consignors (sellers) prepare their merchandise, tag (price) them to earn 65% of their merchandise sold which beats the 40% to 50% they might earn at a consignment store and if they volunteer, yes volunteers are needed as well, they can earn an extra 5% for every three hours volunteered. Of course, I earn the 70%!

Drop off started as of Sunday which continues until Monday. Sutton Hall is getting filled up - one area is maternity wear, infant clothes/accessories and women/ladies clothes/asseccories. The other area has toddler to junior size clothes as well as toys, games, shoes, books... I also saw a bed and a baby changing table. I have included more photos, a few of items being sold starting Wednesday with the public sale until Saturday. There is a private sale Tuesday but only for consignors, volunteers, first time parents and for military.

Jumping Jeans Consignment besides selling children clothes including preemies and baby sizes and toys, they also have added junior's, ladies/women's and maternity fashions. Shoppers will find merchandise for all seasons - used, gently used and even new merchandise to purchase. You might even find school uniforms for your little ones too. The first days are regular price sales but if you can wait or return the last two days and hope the items you liked weren't sold yet than you can save from 25% to 50% off.

The consignment event is held at Florida College Sutton Hall in Temple Terrace starting Wednesday, July 15 through Saturday the 18th. Doors open at 10 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. except for Saturday. Shoppers can save 25% off all merchandise labeled 'Discount: Yes' on Friday and 50% off all merchandise labeled 'Discount: Yes' on Saturday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
