2012-07-11T19:27:00.000-04:00

Hello Wallet Killers,
So the photos below are from Elle's "Street Chic." Elle offers thousands photos of the most chic from the street. I really enjoy taking a gander over because the site offers a great deal of images of the most fashionable in the world (or at least those in major cities). Below are my favorite photos from VARIOUS albums on the site, so czech it out!

AWFUL LOOK of the DAY:
As you know, I haven't blogged in quite some time because today's street style is PLAUGED with awkward, mismatchy, outfits that are more clownish than chic, and here's todays example and crique.

Awkward boobage in the shirt, that makes the shirt maybe seen either too thight or just ill-fitting. The pants are to wild of a design that in no way matches the purse. The purse clashes with the outfit like an dirty elephant in an all white bedroom. The shose are an awkard height and the fadded black does match the shirt or the entire outfit. The hat is an awkard addition to the look, and has a strange high topness to it. And all my comment jjust hit the surface of the problems with the loook. If you too have an opinions about why this look just dosen't work, or why it does, leave a commen below.

New Design Layout!

2012-07-10T08:28:00.001-04:00

If you might have noticed, I changed the design and layout! I accidentally pushed the wrong button while I was checking out the new layouts blogger offers and it changed the look of the site and I couldn't return it to its originally style, but I decided: "hey, let's roll with it." So a new year, a new layout, and new posts on the way!

I would again like to reiterate the purpose of my site: All the time, I would look through thousands of fashion blogs and save my favorite photos of outfits that inspired me. After a while, I had a MASSIVE file on my computer and I wanted to better organize it and share it with my friends. I began to post some of the photos on this blog of my favorite outfits and my critiques/comments on them. After posting for quite some time, I realized this site was a good way to increase the awareness about certain blogs that I thought the world should know and a good way to archive photos of my favorite inspiring outfits from throughout the web!

If you would like to be featured on this blog to increase the awareness of your site, post a comment or send me a message via email.

M.I.A.

2012-07-09T23:26:00.000-04:00

So I haven't posted in a while, wallet killers. Why, you might ask? If you've noticed the fashion/fashion blogs of today, they aren't inspiring, elegant, or as beautiful as they were in the past. Today's street style and fashion bloggers have pushed the envelope to a point that's past sophistication and beauty. Street style today is generally awkward, unmatchy, and focused on putting elements together that don't exactly work. For example: This photo is from Carolines Mode: Stockholm-Street Style.com

This outfit is all wrong, from the top that obviously shows her boobs are too small for the dress, to the cat sunglasses, the awkward purse that in no way even matches the outfit to the shoes with the strange bow/flower? on it. Fashion today and blogs just have not had the gusto it used to. But no worry, I am still searching for the next inspiring blogger/look that will blow you and me away.

I miss you fashion and wallet killers

2011-05-09T04:07:00.002-04:00

I sometimes forget how much I love fashion. It seems to slip away from me in this busy world full of mesh looks and overdone make up. The feeling always comes back to me once I crack open a magazine and the flood gates of inspiration peers back.

She started her site only in Febuary 2010, but she's making GREAT headway. As seen below, she was even featured on the cover of Style Sample and her style is making a splash on the fashion scene. I admire her use of brights with blands and her hippie/ecletic style. She's a free soul wih a free sense of fashion

Shopping Tips: Be True to Yourself and Expect the Unexptected

2011-02-15T17:13:00.004-05:00

hello wallet killers,
so as promised, i'm posting tons of new posts (maybe one a week) for you on how to save money and how to smart shop! i miss yall, and i hope you miss me too! enjoy....

Be True to Yourself

It's always a common thing to get hyped up to the latest trends, but they're not always what they're cracked up to be. Every trend ends eventually and you'll end up with a wardrobe of last years wear. Its important to stay true to yourself and pic out things YOU like and what you'll like for years, not just the passing season.

My advice: beware of trends, they're real wallet killers, pick long lasting looks

Expect the Unexpected

When shopping at your usual store expect the unexpected on many aspects. Maybe that look you were researching on line with the great price fits HORRIBLY on you....well it happens. And just maybe that outfit that didn't look to hot online looks HOT on you! Always be open minded when shopping and try on many different looks, because you never know...that trash piece is actually a treasure.

MANY MORE POSTS COMING (midterms almost over!)

Luv ya,

Shopping Tips: Night Sits and Research

2011-02-02T00:31:00.004-05:00

Revision of 8/9/09
-and it still reigns true

NIGHT SIT
so i do a LOT of shopping but i don't really buy many things. When it comes to shopping it's all about finding things you'll

1. wear ALL the time and you can see yourself wearing 3 years from now
2. actually like
3. is worth the amount you're paying for it
4. is a quality purchase

for me anything over $50 calls for a "night sit." A night sit is basically sleeping on a purchase and truly thinking about it for 24 hours so see if its worth it (some times more time is necessary like a week, if it is on sale think about it more quickly in case of low stock)

by night sitting you really can get a chance to think over the purchase and evaluate its worth to your wardrobe

and for most night sits, i don't end up buying the item which saves me money and i appreciate the item more

lastly make a list,

RESEARCH, RESEARCH RESEARCH,
the more research on an item you like, the more likely 99% of the time you'll get a better price, most items are sold in more than one store at varying prices (you can then get the cheaper item)

After you done your research and you're shopping in-store its a great idea to make a lists of the items you've looked up with their online prices.

By making a list you limit the items you get if you strictly follow it and you're not too tempted by other items in store
Also it'll make shopping easier, faster, and more fun becuase you'll know exactly what you're there for!

GRACIAS for reading, and more tips and pics are coming soon
