THE THRIFT ELEMENT

TA TA FOR NOW

2015-07-13T05:00:00.000-07:00

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW I'VE AGONIZED OVER THIS, BUT I AM SHUTTING DOWN BARGAIN BEX/THE THRIFT ELEMENT AND WILL NOW BE KNOWN SOLELY AS THE FLIBBERTIGIBBETIST (JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE TIME, MY LITTLE LOVELIES, TO GET IT ALL SPARKLY, PRETTY AND UP AND RUNNING). I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN SIX WHOLE WONDERFUL YEARS, BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO END MY BUDGET/BARGAIN BLOGGING HERE. SO PLEASE OH PLEASE, WON'T YOU FOLLOW ME OVER THERE FOR WHAT I HOPE IS ANOTHER 6++++ YEARS?!?

MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

2015-06-30T11:07:00.000-07:00

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD SOMEONE SAY, "IT'S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY?" SO WOULDN'T IT BE MORE THAN FITTING THEN TO SUGGEST THAT THEY GET IT (PERMANENTLY) INKED/TATTOOED ON THEM???

TO BOLDLY GO

2015-06-29T11:54:00.001-07:00

WHERE THIS WOMAN HAS NEVER GONE BEFO' WHEN IT COMES TO DARK BLACK EYEBROWS, YO. AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF RITA ORA'S BROWS ON THE COVER OF MARIE CLAIRE THIS MONTH. I MEAN, WOW. SHE HAS WHITE, ALMOST GREY HAIR ON TOP OF HER HEAD (IN A CUT THAT RESEMBLES JOAN JETT) AND THEN THE BLACKEST OF BLACK EYEBROWS INSTEAD OF BLEACHING THEM TO MATCH HER DYED HAIR JOB. YEP. AND THAT'S NOW WHAT I WANT TO TRY SEEING HOW MY OWN HEAD OF HAIR IS DOUSED IN PLATINUM DYE.

LASH INTO ME

2015-06-22T12:19:00.000-07:00

I'VE BEEN THINKING LONG AND HARD LATELY THAT I WANT ME SOME FAKE LASHES, LIKE, GREATLY. AND SOME, TOO, THAT ARE IN A BRIGHT, HOT PINK AND/OR FUSCHIA HUE. JUST TO SWITCH IT UP FROM THE BROWN-BLACK NORM. YUP. SO IF THERE ARE SOME THAT BE PINK -- THEN BY ALL MEANS -- LASH INTO ME.

DREAM WEAVER

2015-06-19T05:00:00.000-07:00

USUALLY, MY SHOE WARDROBE CONSISTS OF COLORS 1, 2 AND 3: BLACK, WHITE AND TAN; MEANING, THAT'S ALL I WANNA WEAR ON MY LI'L FEET. AND THIS "DREAM-WOVEN" CHAMULA SLINGBACK HUARACHE PAIR IS NO EXCEPTION TO THE RULE I JUST STATED (AND THEN WROTE) FOR THE RECORD (T)HERE, COOL?

THE BANGER SISTERS

2015-06-18T07:38:00.001-07:00

HEAR ME, HEAR ME! I WANT BABY BANGS THAT LOOK ALL CHOPPED UP AND HAPHAZARDLY JUST LIKE THIS SCISSOR (SNIPPING) SIBLING, MOST DESPERATELY! BUT SEEING AS HOW I HAVE A SUPER SHORT PIXIE ALREADY WITH A LONG SIDE-SWEPT ONE(S), IT MIGHT BE RATHER DIFFICULT TO GET THIS PARTICULAR TRESS WISH DONE. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T DO IT LATER ON - WHEN I GET MY HAIR-GROWIN' ON!!!

FUZZY NAVEL

2015-06-17T16:05:00.000-07:00

I SWEAR IT'S BECAUSE IT IS SUNNY WEATHER, BUT NOW ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT WANTING TO ADD TO MY CLOSET IS A FUZZY AND WHITE TURTLENECK SWEATER. YES, AS IMPRACTICAL AS IT MAY SEEM, AT LEAST I'LL BE ALL SORTS OF COZY, WARM AND FUZZY (INCLUDING MY NAVEL) WHEN THINGS TURN ALL 'WINTERY.'

DEW GOODER

2015-06-15T11:20:00.001-07:00

GUYS. I'VE JUST LEARNED A NEW DEWY FACE TRICK AND WANTED TO LET YOU IN ON IT. IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE UP MY FACE FOR THE DAY WHEN I USED MOISTURIZER BEFORE AND AFTER, OKAY? I KNOW MOST OF YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW, BUT MAN OH MAN, DID IT GIVE ME AN ALL-DAY DEWY GLOW. WHAT MOISTURIZER DID I USE? UM, CETAPHIL IN A WHITE BOTTLE/TUBE.

THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA

2015-06-12T11:55:00.000-07:00

SOMETIMES I WISH PEOPLE WOULD CALL ME THIS: THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA. YES-UH. ONLY BECAUSE IT'S WHAT I LOVE WHEN THE SUMMER ROLLS AROUND: NO SHOES ANYWHERE (BY MY FEET) TO BE FOUND.

WHITE HOT

2015-06-11T12:17:00.000-07:00

WELL ... I DID IT GUYS (JUST LIKE THE ABOVE GUY) ... I WENT BLEACH (BLONDE) WHITE. JUST THIS MORNING, ACTUALLY, ON ME AND MY LITTLE PIXIE. I HAVE BEEN PLANNING ON DOING IT, BY THE WAY, AS AN ACCEPTABLE INSIDE-OF-A-BANANA-PEEL BASE FOR IF AND WHEN I I DECIDE TO (NEXT) DOUSE MY HEAD IN PASTEL PINK DYE. BUT I'VE GOT TO ADMIT, I'M KINDA SORTA DIGGING IT ALL WHITE HOT AND WHAT NOT.

BEJEWELED BLITZ

2015-06-10T09:38:00.002-07:00

I LOVE ME A SIMPLE WHITE DRESS OR TEE, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING BEJEWELED OR ADORNED TO IT, THANK YOU AND PLEASE. BUT TODAY, I THOUGHT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIND ONE JUST LIKE THE ONE IN THE PIC, THAT I'D GO THE STATEMENT NECKLACE ROUTE AKA A LA THE BEJEWELED BLITZ.
