Designer Way vs. Cheapalicious Way

2013-05-21T07:30:00.000-04:00

The Lilly Pulitzer "Posey" dress retails for $228, and is such a pretty dress. Too bad it's wayyy out of my budget! Forever 21 has a somewhat similar, budget friendlier version for under $25, so if you love the look of the "Posey' dress, but it's out of your price range, the F21 dress would make a good alternative. What say you? The real or the steal?

I first showed you the "cheapalicious" version of the Manolo Blahnik "Chaos" heel that I found from Alloy, now there are a lot of cheapalicious alternatives out there. It's a very popular shoe, and for good reason! If you're looking for a neutral, simple but chic heel to add to your wardrobe, check out these budget friendly options!

Lunchbreak Shopping: Target's Dollar Bins....

2013-05-02T22:07:00.000-04:00

A couple of days ago, I popped into my local Target to pick up a few necessities. Not one to just walk into Target and get what I "need" (who does?), I browsed their "dollar bins" to see what hidden treasures I could find. I rarely shop the "dollar bins", but when I do, I find some pretty cool stuff (like this floppy sun hat I got two years ago). So many cute items, but I only brought home what I could "put to use". Check them out!

accordion file folder // "fashionista" mini notebook // polka dot sunglasses (these were $3, but they are located in the dollar bins with the beach stuff // plastic beach pouch

I also found some leopard print tin cups. They are currently sitting pretty on my desk at work, holding my pens and highlighters. They're also available in a houndstooth print.

Do you shop Target's "dollar bins"?

Nifty Under $50: Galaxy prints

2013-04-21T19:57:00.002-04:00

Is it me or are cosmic prints seem to be popping up everywhere? First seen in Christopher Kane's Resort 2011 collection, it was only a matter of time before this galactic trend hit the masses. This trend is growing on me and I found a few pieces that won't break the bank. Even if you get tired of it before this season's over, at least you didn't spend a ridiculous amount of money on it. What do you think of the galaxy print trend?

sheer cosmic print top $22.80, Forever 21+ // galaxy racer back high low tank $16.90, Deb // cosmical top $24, Miss KL // galaxy print mini dress $29.99, Charlotte Russe // galaxy print skater skirt $26.60, ASOS

What I Bought: Spring sandal haul....

2013-04-14T21:40:00.000-04:00

Spring arrived less than a month ago and I've already started shopping for items to add to my wardrobe. The first thing I always buy when the temps start climbing are sandals. Maybe it's the Floridian in me. I just can't live without my sandals. Check out my little haul below.

Dolce Vita "Archer'-inspired sandals $12, Ft. Lauderdale Swap Shop. I loved these sandals so much that I bought them in black and tan as well. For $12, who wouldn't?

Another "Archer"-inspired sandal are these Mossimo "Falk" thong sandals. I was drawn to the stripes and pop of neon. Love these!

I picked up these Aztec-print sandals from Walmart while I was in South Carolina last month. They're inspired by a higher end brand, but I can't think of who at the moment (does anyone know?). I love the print and the studded detail.

Did you start your spring shopping? What did you buy so far?

Window Shopping: New Spring footwear @ Target!

2013-03-04T20:46:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, I finally decided to leave the house and run some errands. Where did I end up? At the happiest place on Earth, of course- Target! My intentions were to go in and buy cleaning supplies (we've all heard THAT before), but somehow, I ended up over in the shoe department. I wanted to see what new goodies have arrived, and man, there were some goodies! Wedges galore and cute little flats- all begging to be a part of my wardrobe. I snapped a few pics of some of the new spring offerings, but I didn't purchase anything (gasp). I controlled myself this time and walked out without a single pair, but I'll be back! Check out what I have my eyes on....

Xhilaration "Orabella" studded scrunch flat $19.99

Mossimo "Vikki" animal print flats $19.99

studded detail on back
