Look for Less: Valentino Rockstud Sandals.

18 May

I am pleased to announce that Target has the Betseyville studded sandals back in stock!! They are the best Rockstud lookalikes I’ve ever seen. If you follow my Instagram, you already know I own rock studs and rock stud lookalikes and am obsessed with them all equally. If you can afford the splurge valentino version, great. If not, the budget friendly Betseyville version is the shoe for you. I’ve had the black ones for a while and love them and just ordered the tan online. Can’t wait to rock them all Summer long.

Look For Less! Valentino Rockstud Pumps!

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!

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!!!!

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!

The Ultimate Fall Heel!

21 Jul

The annual Anniversary Sale is in full swing right NOW at Nordstrom stores across the country and online as well ! The sale is held each July and has become legendary among Nordstrom customers nationwide who take advantage of savings on new fall merchandise before the season starts.  I look forward to this sale all year-long and my store visit was a total success. I was able to score on baby gift, a couple of really cute rings and a dress but my favorite score of all was these HOT Sam Edelman ‘Darla’ heels.  They have a pointed toe with a V cutout to show just enough toe cleavage and have a triple ankle strap with two of the three straps featuring studded detail!  I really wanted both colors but with the help of my Facebook  and Instagram followers, I opted for the burgundy & black because I already have far too many black heels and thought a little color wouldn’t hurt, and the rich red color is PERFECT for Fall! The heels are available HERE and will go back up to regular price on August 5.

Available in all Black or Black & Burgundy combo.

Look For Less! Summer Cross Body bag!

6 Jun

Bright cross body bags are absolutely perfect for Summer! They add a pop of color to your outfits and most importantly are hands free and can be worn while bike riding, shopping and roller skating!  The two bags below are stylish and sassy and can be worn for many Summers to come! Rebecca Minkoff’s Skylar bag retails for $325 and is available at Nordstrom, but if you’re on a budget, H&M has an affordable alternative for only $14.95.  I bought the H&M studded bag and LOVE IT!

Valentino “Rockstud” flats are a perfect causal, yet edgy look but may not be so perfect for your wallet.  Available at Saks Fifth Avenue & Nordstrom and priced at $595 they are a considerable investment for flats.

However, if you love them and can’t squeeze them into your budget, Forever 21 has a very similar studded flat that retails for $24.80.

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.
