Can you believe it’s already September? Yup, another summer flew right by. Oh, and September 1 is also the two year blogiversary of Looking Fly on a Dime.

Of course I want to say thanks to all of my awesome readers. Whether you’ve been down with the blog for a few years or just discovered it, you’re appreciated more than you know. I started the blog without any clear intentions but it’s evolved in to something I’m so proud of. I truly enjoy sharing my love of thrifting and budget fashion.

I’m excited for what the future holds for Looking Fly on a Dime. My episode of the Nate Berkus show airs this month {I’ll let you know when I have the exact air date} and I have some other things in the works I know you’ll love.

Yesterday I showed you the amazing finds I scored at Loehmann’s and the great folks at the department store were gracious enough to provide me with a giveaway.

Accessories are a girl’s best friend so I chose an awesome set of black and gold bangles from Amrita Singh. The bangles will look great worn together or just a few at a time.

Beauty Review + Giveaway: OPI Black Shatter **Closed**

I’m sure you guys have heard of OPI’s Black Shatter polish. It’s the awesome new lacquer that gives nails a cracked or shatter effect. You just paint your nails as usual, layer the Black Shatter over them and before you know it, you have a fun, funky look.

Since the polish is so popular, it’s been crazy trying to find a bottle anywhere. However, I came across an entire rack of OPI Black Shatter while at Duane Reade {i went there for toilet paper and let with beauty products}. At $8.50, it’s more than your typical drugstore polishes, but I had to try it and I’m glad I did. What’s great is you can use any color you want underneath it. I opted for Sinful Colors’ 24/7.
