Tip Of The Week

Here it is: Run.

Run as fast as you can to any store like Diva, or Bling. Once you are in there run around like a mad woman and grab all the jewelry you can. The boxing day sales now last for weeks, and at these stores you can pick up some serious bargains, with most sale stock being under $7. Last year I tried to walk out of the store 4 times, each time being drawn back by something I missed. I walked out having spent around $50, but I had 14 brand new pieces of jewelry, about $3.50 each!!

It may seem excessive, but I have worn every single piece multiple times, and they are all staying with me for now. Today I walked out the front door wearing a maxi dress and some gold sandals, changed my mind and took the extra 30 seconds to put on a long gold necklace and some chunky wood and gold bangles, Making my outfit complete!!

So, with a few cheap pieces, you are set to mix and match for years to come, and feel like a million bucks on a shoestring.

Now run, the good stuff doesn't last long. And one last thing, stay away from the full price section. You could buy 7 things for the price of that $25 bracelet!!

New Starts

Hello, to nobody at the moment, but I have hopes that there will be people reading this someday.
So, here we go. I am a fashion freak, a HUGE fashion freak. But, with being unable to work at the moment (more on that later) and a big Europe trip (  :D  ) coming up later this year, I have very very limited funds for my habits. Luckily, I have learnt how to raid the chain stores, even the ones you might not think of, for some amazing finds recently. I also used to work in an unnamed retail store, so I learnt a thing or two about looking out for quality.
I'll take you through what I have been wearing, buying, and wanting. I will find the exact copy of that bag you saw in Vogue last week, only it will cost $50 (hopefully!). There will be tips from what I have learnt and will hopefully be learning, and there might be a bit of you on the site as well!
But that is relying on there BEING a you, so if you drop by this site on accident, stick around, pass it on to your friends, I think we could make it work.
