Prabal Gurung for Target!

13 Jan

The time has come……another Target designer collaboration is upon us! We’ve known about this one for a while but now we have pictures to drool over!  Let me start by saying this one will BE BIG…..Missoni big!  The collection is very wallet friendly ($14.99 for earrings–$199 for a leather jacket) and the pieces are super cute with a feminine aesthetic that includes a palette of bright colors, florals and some color blocking.  Although the collection is launching mid Winter, it is oh -so Spring!!!! There are pieces for everyone including separates, dresses, shoes and accessories. Mark your calendars now, seriously!  February 10th is the day this 80+ piece collection will hit your local Target stores!

Versatile Clutch

24 Dec

If you follow my Facebook page you know that I promised to share the details of my fun new clutch with studded cuff detail.  Well I’m sharing!!!!!!!!  This bag is really cool because it’s less than $50, can be carried as a plain clutch, with attached bracelet or as a cross body bag with attached long chain strap.  It’s also a nice pebbled texture.  So far I’ve worn it with the bracelet attached and as a cross body bag and received numerous compliments on it both times.  It’s a perfect little size(11″x 6″ x 1″ deep)to fit everything while keeping its flat-non bulky shape.  I purchased this clutch from  Nastygal for $48. Since then Nordstrom has started carrying it and it’s $42 on their website.

Fabulous Friday Find (Just 1)

14 Dec

Happy Friday fashionistas!!!! As you know I always include numerous finds in my FFF posts, however once in a while I will only feature 1 item, today is one of those 1 item only days.  My fabulous Friday finds are never over $20 which is great, but once in a while I find something and I think to myself  A. Is this priced correctly? B. this is too good to be true and C. I must tell the world.   This is one of those times people, I was walking around my local Target yesterday and went to the jewelry case like I always do (great finds all the time by the way)and this time I saw a beautiful watch looking back at me… Ivory band with the perfect amount of texture, rose gold face encircled  in sparkles everywhere!!!! It was beautiful and priced at $19.99!!!!!!! and yes it was priced correctly. It can hold its own with any of my fancy shmancy watches anyday!  It looks quite pricey in person!

Available at Target stores for $19.99 and Target online for ONLY $15.99!

My Favorite Matte Bronzer!

11 Dec

Bronzers are great whether you’re looking to add warmth to your complexion(year round tan without the orange look) or to add depth by contouring.  I am naturally tan so I use bronzers for contouring and personally prefer matte bronzers (as opposed to shimmery).  I have tried many and now I use NYX matte bronzer regularly and for $9 it definitely gives me a lot of bang for my buck.  I found that the NYX matte bronzer blended just as well as high-end bronzers and provided exactly what I was looking for.  It’s similar to Benefit Hoola matte bronzer($28) and MAC Pro long wear bronzer($28) in many ways besides price. This Available in 5 colors….light, medium, deep, dark tan and deep tan so there are options for many skin tones. If you want to try bronzer for the first time or want an affordable alternative in your makeup collection, give this a try. Available at Drug stores, Ulta and NYX.
