20 May Nordstrom Rack Comes to NYC
Fashionistas, it's here. If you're not familiar with Nordstrom Rack, all you need to know is it's the discounted version of the mega department store. And last week, Rack opened its doors in New York City. The outlet has designer items (shoes, apparel and accessories) at up to 70 percent off retail prices.I stopped in and immediately made my way to the shoe department and was impressed with the prices and selections. Tons of Michael Kors, L.A.M.B. and Badgley Mischka. I don't think I came across a shoe that was more than $199, most were in the $100-$150 range.
This store may become a serious addiction for me. I hate outlet stores that claim "brands too hot to name" and then the selection is blah. But Rack lives up to the hype.

I love the tanginess of the cheese, the sweetness of the apple and saltiness of...

The weather in NYC is finally heating up and recently I put together this look using some of my cheap, chic finds.Dress, $12: from a store in Jersey and I've had it for four years now. That's a pretty awesome cost per wear ratio. Sandals, $8: Strawberry Shades, $10: Nine West Bag, $2: vintage DKNY bag from a thrift store in Philly. This is one of the first pieces I ever thrifted, so it has a special place in my cheap little heart.I love the spring and summer months because you...
17 May Beauty Review – Sinful Colors Nail Polish
I love a bright nail polish and I recently tried Sinful Colors. I picked up a few bottles while at Duane Reade and now I'm officially hooked. At only $1.99 per bottle, you can buy a handful for less than $10. And they come in a slew of bright colors with cute names like Boom Boom and Dream On. And the quality is pretty good. It's not watery like some cheap lines and when applied properly (base coat, two shades of polish and a top coat), it lasts just as...
