Shut up!

Okay, despite my undying love for high end designers, I sometimes see no point in buying high end. Let me explain: while flipping through November’s Vogue this week, I stumbled upon a feature called “Collector’s Items” in which I saw a pair of silver round toe flats. I recognized them immediately as a pair I’d seen in Target many times and fully expected to read that they were in fact the Xhilaration brand… Obviously I was wrong, and I was shocked almost beyond words to see that the Vogue flats were $540! SHUT UP!

Now, I know fashion has often been accused of being senseless and silly, and though I don’t normally agree with that, I fear I must in this case as it seems utterly ridiculous to drop nearly $600 on a pair of flats that one can get at Tar-zay for a mere $14.99!! I am positive that even if I could afford the steep price of Vogue’s flats (which by the way are designed by Lanvin) I would absolutely buy the $14.99 rip off from my local discount department store.

I must know, do y’all not agree with me?

It's like the cherry on top!

Man, I love stuff like this: Urban Outfitter’s, one of my favorite stores for home décor and the occasional item of clothing, is having a sale on its sale!! Y’all can get an additional 15% off already reduced items until midnight on October 28^th. I found this adorable vanity tray marked down to $14.99; love it!

Credit is due where credit is earned; I thank The Budget Fashionista for putting my bargain seeking self on high alert. I would have never thought to draw attention to this sale had Budget Fashionista not originally led the way! Y’all go check her out on her site, you’re bound to benefit from her wisdom!

FREAK OUT!!!!

Holy moly people!! This very evening I was going about my normal act of stalking all of my favorite clothing sites and on Forever21 I found this PERFECT little black dress for.... $10.50!!!!!!

Yeah! I couldn't believe it either! I ordered myself one so fast that I made my own head spin! My heart was beating, and my mouth was getting dry for fear of getting a dreaded message that the dress was sold out... thankfully it wasn't! Another huge plus of this wonderful little find is that the dress comes in several different colors, so if you feel the need to order it in every color, have at it!

Everyone who is anyone needs a cute and essential little black dress. Speaking of essentials, I'll be posting about what I think are the essential pieces to every wardrobe. Stay tuned!!
