More Bang For Your Buck….

Have you ever been shopping and had a certain look or item in mind and when you find it, it’s two times over your budget!!!!! Doesn’t that feeling just SUCK…. Well no worries loves in this competitive fashion market there is hundreds if not thousands of replicas at prices you can afford. Have you ever heard that old saying “you better shop around”? Well that doesn’t only pertain to relationships it also pertains to purchases you make.

Here is a bit of fashion advice that I use for myself.  Compile a list on your computer favorites of great places to find fashion finds. I have so many places listed such as asos.com and topshop.com to name a few….. Compare your name brand digs to the competitors and see what is out there… It takes a little more effort but so worth the deal. Here is a dress by Rachel Roy which I love priced at $159.00 and I found a replica at Asos which was $99.99 (and includes free shipping and returns). That is over is over $59 dollars in savings…. I don’t know about you but I enjoy saving money and looking fabulous too… Happy hunting loves..

Ciao,

Eclectic Inspiration…

 Today I was satisfying my guilty pleasure.. SHOPPING!!!! I can admit I have an addiction but they say the first step to recovery is admiting you have a problem…. So I openly admit I love to shop… But can you blame me??? I was browsing the shoe department at Macy’s Herald Square and came across these Rachel Roy shoes that were to die for!!! Light blue demin base, spiked out metal heel and red swarovski platform heel… Yummmmm

 

Kimi by Rachel Roy

That shoe peaked my interest into  her collection. Can I we say eclectic inspiration… The designs treaded this year’s trends of vibrant color, mixed fabric manipulation and mixed print which includes; tribal/exotic print and bohemian chic styles. And the best part of  it all  is the prices are very affordable! Please keep your eyes on Ms. Roy she is definitely one to watch….

Enjoy
