15 Dollar Store – Review & Giveaway – CLOSED

Posted On Monday, September 26th, 2011

Last year a reader introduced me to the 15 Dollar Store. Yup, that’s the name of the store and yes, all apparel and accessories are just $15. Though I love a great deal, I value quality more than anything. So when the people at15 Dollar Store presented me with the opportunity to review one of their items, I jumped at the chance.

Since I’m obsessed with chunky, men’s inspired watches, I decided to review the Geneva crystal and mother of pearl link watch in rose gold. It kind of reminds me of Michael Kors watches, which cost hundreds of dollars, but this one was a fraction of the cost.

Celeb Style on a Dime: Jennifer Hudson

Posted On Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

It warms my thrifty heart when I see celebs rocking cheap chic finds. They can afford the best, but sometimes they opt for affordable wears you can find at your local mall. Jennifer Hudson was the latest celeb to step out in style on a dime.

She paired a few trends {fedora, florals, shorts and leggings} without looking too trendy and created a boho chic look.

But look at the shoes. Cute, right? And better yet, they’re only $85! Jennifer rocked the Chinese Laundry Friction pumps. The suede platforms with elastic straps are the perfect compliment to any outfit. And the 5 inch heel is sure to give you legs for days.


To get J. Hud’s complete look for less, check out the options below.

Booties under $100

Posted On Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Charlize Theron was recently spotted in a casual look perfect for spring. Her oversized sweater, ripped jeans and satchel are perfect for a day out with the girls or a night with your honey. But check out the shoes! She’s rocking LOFT’s Shirlie Open Toe Bootie. At 4.5 inches, the wooden stacked heel ups the chic factor of any outfit. And the lace up, peep toe detail never goes out of style.

The LOFT booties retailed for $100 but unfortunately they’re sold out on online. If you’re in the market for suede and/or lace up booties, check the options below. Rock them with your favorite skinny jeans or a mini. Oh, and they’re all under $100. These bad boys are the perfect way to step in to spring.
