My name is Patrice and I'm a hardcore high heel lover, but I'm absolutely obsessed with a pair of sneakers. Whew, that was tough for me to say! But no seriously, I bought a pair of sneakers from Target a few weeks ago and they've become my go-to sneakers, particularly for traveling.That's not a big deal, right? Cute, comfy sneakers can be a dime a dozen. But what surprised me is that they're from the boys section. Yup, my latest dime find is from the little boys department at Target! And they make navigating the airport like a pro an absolute breeze.Target Cat & Jack tan high top sneakers

*taps mic* Oh hi, hello there. Yes, I know it's been forever since I've posted. Actually it's exactly three months. I'll get to the why a bit later, including sharing what the new direction of Looking Fly on a Dime will be. In the meantime...I think we can all agree that wearing an item of clothing once and then never again is a bit silly. Well, I mean unless it's formal wear that's solely intended for a special occasion. But for every day wear, it's all about remixing your favorite items in a new and even unexpected way.I made a recent appearance on New York Live to show how easy it is to remix your favorite dress and make it look completely new.Target-Wild-Fable-metallic-strapless-dress

Ah, summer is here. Well, it's not officially here and it's been a little chilly and gloomy in NYC lately, but summer is just a few weeks away. That means it's summer style season aka maxi dress season. Yay, right?! But if you're anything like me, then you might dread shopping for a maxi. My specific dilemma is that I'm short. 5'2" to be exact.But I've found a few ways to embrace my love of the maxi dress without dragging the hem on the ground or tripping over it. And of course I'm sharing them with you! Looking Fly on a Dime: black maxi dress with a red crop top

Earlier this month, Target, my beloved bullseye boutique debuted a new collection and it's kind of a big deal. I mean, who doesn't love Target?! But this line in particular was a really exciting venture because per usual, it's affordable, but more importantly, every garment in the collection goes up to a size 26 {versus just some items being plus}. Also, there's a heavy focus on denim, which is an item most women find difficult to shop for {check out Fitting Room Tips to Find the Best Jeans...after you're done reading this!}.
Of course it was my civic fashion duty to check out the Universal Thread line in person, try on pieces and report back the absolute pros and a few cons. Here's another What's In Store.

But I recently became obsessed with a discount store that's new to me.Lot-Less is my latest guilty pleasure and I feel foolish that I'm just getting hip to her. If you're seeking discounts on everything from food to home decor to clothing, then you need this store in your life.
