As promised the other day, here are the new shoes I purchased a couple of weeks ago from Cutesy Shoes. They finally arrived 2 days ago.
I picked this Classified White Gladiator Flats ($18.99) instead of a black pair because I think it would look great with bright colored sundresses. I already have a pair of black gladiator flats from CATO anyway. I had to educate my husband on the name of the shoes because when I asked him to take a picture (2nd image) he called it as “some Roman s**t“. I informed him that these types of shoes …read more

All this recession talks have rendered me depressed at least twice a day. My husband even warned me to stop being depressed because he can’t afford to send me to an institution because of the recession. Isn’t he sweet? Then one day while watching the Financial portion of NBC’s TODAY show, an expert told Meredith Viera that people need to stop getting depressed about the economy. It’s really the last thing any of us should feel or do.
That statement gave me a major epiphany. I’d probably get some eye rolling from some of you for sharing this but I …read more

Due to how the economy is doing, Thrift Store Shopping is now the ‘It” thing to do when it comes to shopping. While I’m glad it is, I can’t help but smirk and say. “I Told You So” at the same time. Seriously, most of us in the world are budget conscious people. Sure we love designer items but we also know it’s not always practical to buy a $1200 bag, or shoes, or dress for that matter.
Here are some 5 Thrift Store Shopping Tips you might be able to use to help you out just in case it’s your …read more

I told myself I wouldn’t wear plaid prints. I refused to wear it actually. But, as always in life and in fashion, Never Say Never. Remember my flats aversion? Now I’m moving on to the plaid trend.
I saw this Plaid Babydoll Dress at Wal-Mart for $12. I just couldn’t put it down. I debated with my inner self if I should get it. As you can see, I ended up getting it. I figured I wouldn’t know how I would look in plaid if I don’t wear one, right? I’m not going to necessarily buy all sorts of plaid …read more

When it comes to bargain shopping there are 5 places I could honestly tell you that I frequent a lot. I actually have more than that, maybe about 10 places to bargain shop but I’m only going to share with you the 5 places I mostly go to for bargain shopping.
CATO – I’ve only discovered CATO about 2 years ago actually. Before that, whenever I saw the commercials featuring beautiful dresses and tops I thought they were expensive. The first time I visited the store inside a mall I was surprised how reasonable the prices are. I could walk …read more

On this crappy rainy day, I did a virtual shopping at Charlotte Russe’s clearance rack on it’s online store and here are the items I found.
This Lace Tie Dress used to be $28.99. It’s now on sale for $14.99. The dress features a lace scalloped inset and a waist tie. Available in sizes S, M, and L.

Can I just rave about how much I love this Niki by Niki Livas Strapless Beaded Dress? I’m 32 but I wouldn’t mind wearing this dress. It’s perfect for Prom Dress but like I said, I’d wear it too .
This strapless dress has black mesh overlay and beading on the pintucked empire waist. It used to be $180 but is now on sale for $64.80. AND, it’s available in sizes 4 to 14. How great is that? So if you’re looking for a prom dress or a cocktail dress to wear at a special occasion in the …read more

Bergdorf Goodman is calling this Christian Dior Safari Ankle-Tie Pumps as the “aggressive black pumps” for Spring. Aggressive indeed. Look at those platform heels, whewww. It is GORGEOUS. I love the silvertone hardware and the studded heels. I’d like to have a pair but I can’t possibly afford $1,390.00. Even if I can, I have better things to spend that money on. 2 monthly car payments and 2 weeks worth of groceries perhaps, hehe. This is when the bargain fashionista in me kicks in full gear. I’m pretty sure I can find a few pairs of Dior Safari Ankle-Tie Pumps …read more

A pretty and refreshing top for the Summer is this strapless embroidered eyelet hem top from Forever21. The tie is removable. Isn’t it cute? The white color is so feminine while the navy color gives it a little bit of bold edge. As you can see, the hem features an embroidery butterfly eyelet design which actually what first drew me in to this top.
While the white top could go with dark denim, while the navy blue top could go with a pair of white jeans. what I’m trying to suggest is, get both colors. It’s only $12.90 each so …read more

I want this AGB Floral-Print Smocked Peasant Top. Not only am I enamored with the combination of the colors blue, white, and black, I really like the neckline and the smocked hem. I’m telling you, my obsession with peasant tops has been reborn this year.
The smocking on the bottom makes it a very flattering top for my body frame which again is another plus factor in my book. This AGB Floral-Print Smocked Peasant Top is currently on sale for $22 at Macy’s in sizes S, M, L and XL.
Personally, I’d wear this with a pair of  either denim or white …read more
