Posted at 03:00h in Designer on a Dime, shopping by LookingFly 3 Comments

As a blogger and writer, I've had tons of opportunities to see some pretty amazing designs, but this weekend really took the cake. Loehmann's invited a select group of bloggers to tour their New Jersey warehouse {it's normally closed to the public} and get a sneak peek at some of their Italian designs. Oh, did I mention the warehouse is 400,000 square feet. It was aisles and aisles of Valentino, Prada, Moschino and more. I felt like I walked in to my fantasy closet.

And since it's Loehmann's, the prices were slashed up to 65 percent off the original value.

The fashion of the 80s can be a bit scary for some but I tend to embrace the trends of yesteryear. Peplum dresses, acid wash jeans and off the shoulder shirts are still pretty hot.And one childhood trend I really love is jelly shoes. You remember jellies. They were the plastic sandals you wore as a kid. They practically melted on your feet and left you with sweaty toes.Well, jellies are back. Designers like Valentino and Givenchy are selling jelly sandals and flats for close to $300.

I would never pay that much for a pair of jellies, so I was beyond excited when the folks over a Happy Scarf sent me a pair of their jelly flats. They retail for just $24 {currently on sale for $20} and come in colors like black, pink and electric blue.
