Look For Less!!

18 Jan

I am beyond excited to share this with ya’ll! I have an amazing “look for less” pair of heels for you guys!!mb

The Manolo Blahnik Hangisi satin pumps (pictured above) are a staple in the fashion world. You may recognize them as the shoes Carrie Bradshaw often wore on sex and the city. They are made of  satin with a bejeweled square on the toe and they come with a hefty $1,000 price tag.

If you’ve always wanted these but couldn’t afford them, I have great news for you. I found some pretty similar shoes at a fraction of the price. Below are the look for less version that will only set you back $35!!!! OMG yes just $35! You’re welcome!! Hurry they’re selling FAST! Shop pink and green HERE.  They also have some sizes on sale for only $28 shop those HERE.

Look for Less! Cute & Comfy Panties!

20 Aug

Every woman loves a pair of cute and comfortable panties and it’s an added bonus when they don’t break the bank. I have always loved all lace thongs because let’s face it-some thongs can be uncomfortable when they should feel like they’re barely there. The material plays a big part in it, soft lace accomplishes the comfort goal, that’s for sure. I found the perfect lace thong many years ago at Nordstrom. The brand is called Hanky Panky- they come in a variety of colors and fit like a glove. The only drawback is that they’re $18-$25 EACH! Even if you can afford that price, they can still add up quickly when you’re stocking up. And for a lot of women on a budget, they can’t afford that price at all. That is where my look for less comes into play- I discovered the cutest, comfortable and AFFORDABLE lace thong panties at Target.  They come in 9 different colors and fit the same as Hanky Panky, but the price is unbelievable! Even At full price they are only $5 each, but you can catch them on sale a few times a year for $20 for 5 pairs or even $24 for 7 pairs. They are currently $20 for 5, which is $4 a pair. I highly suggest you stock up now! At this price, you really can buy every color!

Another bonus for the Target panties is that they come in sizes XS-XL.

26 Feb

This is my second look for less post on the very coveted Valentino Rockstud pumps. I originally found a great deal on a lookalike pair from torrid, but they sold out super fast and left many fashionistas sad:( If you saw that look for less post and were left wanting a pair of your own rock stud lookalikes for less…..I have found MORE!!!!!! They are priced at $69 vs. $895+ for Valentino. If you’ve always wanted rock studs but could never afford them, now is the time to treat yourself!

Nude Lips! (under $5)

30 Jun

I love a good nude lip color. I also love a great deal as most of you know! Today I’m sharing my 2 go-to nude lip pies, one is a gloss and one is a lip balm- BOTH are less than $5!

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss.

This peach scented and slightly shimmery lip balm is perfect for everyday. Has the feel of chapstick with a nude/ peachy tint. Very hydrating as well!

NYX Butter gloss in Creme Brulee.

This silky smooth butter lip gloss lives up to its name! It glides on like butter and actually stays put! It is also no secret that this lip gloss is a dupe for many high-end lippies including NARS and Lorac.

Look For Less! Rose Gold Pumps!

12 Nov

I am beyond excited about today’s look for less post. Months ago I spotted these super cute metallic heels at the J.Crew presentation at New york Fashion Week- super cute double ankle strap metallic heels in rose gold! As most of you know, I’m obsessed with rose gold, so needless to say I just couldn’t get the pumps out of my head but I forced myself to forget about them (because I had just purchased silver pumps)BUT then I saw the same heels at Zara for about 1/3 of the price!!!!!! Long story short- the Zara heels arrived at my door today and I’m in love!   Check out the J.Crew style and the very similar Zara style. These beautiful heels can be worn year round for a pop of pizzazz at your feet!!!!!

Look For Less!!!! Valentino Rockstud Heels!

22 Aug

Hello hello! I’m here with a VERY exciting look for less!!!!! I have found a pair of heels that look almost identical to the fuchsia Valentino Rockstud pumps!  A little birdie named Emily who writes The Sweetest Thing turned me on to these pretty pumps!  I saw them on her and assumed they were Valentino Rockstuds because quite frankly-they looked just like them……turns out they are from Torrid- the store for full-figured fashionistas!  I didn’t even know they sold shoes!  After finding out the scoop on these, I quickly checked online only to find that had size 10 and Up:(  So I called my local Torrid store and they had more sizes!!!!!!!!!   I just had to share this with you all!!!!! Good luck finding your own pair!

Valentino Rock stud heels $945 available at Saks.  They come in a high or a low height!

Pink studded pump $44.50!!!!!!!!! and right now they ARE ON SALE FOR ONLY  $22.48!!!!!!!!  I mean…..it doesn’t get any better than that!   Whether you would never spend a thousand bucks on heels or  totally would and just want to test out the studded Torrid heels to see if you may want the Valentino’s later, these shoes are for you!!!!!

The Torrid version is a shorter heel but at this price who the heck cares!???!!!!! and furthermore, even if  I only get 3 wears out of these bad boys, that’s good enough for me!!!!

Torrid

 

 

P.S. while I was at Torrid, I noticed they had the cutest bracelets although they were way too big for my wrist, but SPREAD the word to your full-figured friends, if they have a hard time finding bracelets that actually fit, they need to try Torrid!

Look For Less! Loeffler Randall Rider Bag!

19 Aug

Loeffler Randall makes beautiful bags!  Their Rider bag ( a bag that has straps on its backside to hook onto a bicycle) is coveted by bloggers and bag lovers around the world.  I featured the floral Rider bag on my Instagram last week and got so many questions regarding it, leading me to this post today.   The rider bag  retails for $495 and up, which leaves out a lot of fashionable ladies who can’t squeeze it into their budgets.  Buuuuuuuuut-Have no fear, if you’re a fashionista on a budget, you can have a very similarly stylish bag for only $27.80!!!!!

Loeffler Randall Rider Bag available at Zappos Couture.
