Some Darling New Accessories

I had to treat myself to some pretty accessories because they were so cheap! Yes, I could not contain myself when I went Christmas shopping. These are the new beauties I recently purchased that are total bargains compared to the real thing. My total plus tax: $20.60.  Let's get started shall we? :)

First off, I am completely in love with this J. Crew bubble necklace since I saw it on almost every fashion blogger. When I went to Burlington Coat Factory I found this adorable bubble necklace that looks exactly like the one from J. Crew but only about $140 cheaper. Whoooop!

From: Burlington Coat Factory  Brand: Drema  Price: $9.99

Compare this bubble necklace to J. Crew.

Brand: J. Crew  Price: $150

They look so similar, right?! I love this necklace from J. Crew, but not so much that I would pay $150 for it. Since the chain is 18K gold that explains the price, however I prefer my look-a-like necklace for the fraction of the price.

Next are my adorable new earrings I purchased.

From: Burlington Coat Factory  Brand: Orion  Price: $3.99

These crystal big teardrop earrings are similar to the pink crystal big teardrop earrings from Swarovski.

Brand: Swarovski  Price: $38

 I love the pink and gold color combination on the Swarovski earrings and maybe when I feel I want to spend a little more I'll purchase these beauties. 

Finally, my last pair of earrings I purchased.

From: Burlington Coat Factory  Brand: Carol For Eva Graham  Price: $4.99

I adore the designs and the colors on these studs. I've always been addicted to chandelier earrings, but now I'm loving big stud earrings as well. They truly compliment any outfit. You all will definitely see me wearing these in my next couple of posts so be sure to be on the look out. :)

As you can see, Burlington Coat Factory has super adorable accessories for CHEAP. You cannot beat these prices anywhere in my opinion and they always have such a wide selection in stores.

Pretty Things: Knockoff Purse

As I was browsing through Pinterest (of course) I came across this beautiful outfit. I didn't realize until I looked at it closely that I have that CoCo Chanel purse, but a knockoff version of it that I found at Goodwill for $2. Yes yes yes!

There are differences such as the clasp on the purse whereas the one I have does not have the CoCo Chanel logo. Also, the material is not as nice but who can blame a $2 thrifted purse. The details such as the diamond stitching, color, and straps are so similar it's unbelievable. When I purchased this purse I just thought it was adorable, come to find out it's a close knock off to a CoCo Chanel purse. Shweeeeet!

Here are more cute purses along with this beauty that I've purchased recently on a previous post Pretty Things: I've Turned Into A Crazy Purse Lady.

Thrifting is so much fun. You never know what you'll run across and from my experience I'm loving what I'm finding lately.

What do you think about knockoffs? Yay or nay?

Have a pleasant day, wonderfuls! :)

Pretty Things: Shoesies!

I found some magnificent shoes whilst shopping recently and I couldn't be more ecstatic about these cuties!

First off, I adore shoes. I can't get enough... I mean what girl can. For serious. Secondly, I found these at the most incredibly dirt cheap price, evaaar! Spending over $100 for shoes? No thank you, not for this girl.

Blush Bow Peep Toe Kitten Heels-- Brand: Pierre Dumas from Burlington Coat Factory: $7.98

The color, the bow... enough said. The moment I laid eyes on these I knew I had to have them. These are a tad bit oversized (when I actually walk around it's not too loose) because I usually wear around a size 5 to a size 6 at most and these are a 6 1/2, but I couldn't turn away from a ridiculously cute pair of shoes for $7.98.

Blush Polka Dot Bow Flats-- Brand: Zigisoho from DSW: approximately $8

The bows have gold polka dots on them. I died when I saw these babies. And the best part, it was an additional 75% off the marked down price which brought it down to $8.

Chevron Pattern Multi-Colored Flats-- Brand: Missoni from Target: $6.98

These are kids shoes in a size 3 that I happen to fit in. It fits a little snug and a bit uncomfortable at times, but for the price and how adorable they are it's worth the pain!

Total for all including tax-- approximately $26. Shibby!


When shopping for shoes dooo look at the clearance section! That is my go to section everytime, I skip the nonsense regular and sale price items and head straight to clearance. You will find amazingly cheap and gorgeous shoes-- not every time but you'll be surprised sometimes. Bargain shopping surely pays off because you won't feel guilty for spending nearly nothing. Ladies, the cheaper the shoes the more you can buy and in the end you will jump up and down with great joy because you bought cute shoes for dirt cheap!

Pretty Things: I've Turned Into A Crazy Purse Lady...

Oh wait, that's just called being a GIRL. Haha! I usually carry around a gigantic handbag, but lately I've been really drawn to smaller purses for its convenience, simplicity and cuteness. I'm totally into super adorable purses like these that I recently thrifted all for about $2 to $4 each. Hellz yeah.

Ridiculously adorable envelope clutches:

So simple and so elegant. Great for an evening out.

Love the texture and color. Very casual and cute.

AND ridiculously adorable crossbody bags-- my current crazy obsession:

The cream, cognac and gold color combo is exceptional. This lovely bag can definitely go with any outfit.

I looove the chain detail for the straps on this bag along with the diamond pattern stitch. So pretty!

This bag looks like a clutch, but it's actually not because the straps are missing. Since I have other bags with removable straps I can easily snap them onto the rings of this bag. The shape and texture is magnificent.

Again, these are simply too cute.

In conclusion, a girl can NEVER have too many purses! At this rate I might have a different purse for every outfit I wear. Baha! Good day to you all. :)

Pretty Things: Bargains Galore

I am the ultimate bargain shopper-- with no exaggeration whatsoever I live and breathe bargains whenever and wherever I go shopping. Truth. I believe designer labels are highly over-rated unless it is a one of a kind, ridiculously amazing piece that you cannot find anywhere else. Otherwise I love looking trendy without spending an excessive amount of money which also gives me a leeway to shop more often and getting more fabulous stuff. Shweet! More for your money, I say! Here are a couple of my recent favorite (and cheap) finds.

Taupe strappy wedges By Guess from Ross: $27.00

Lauren Conrad nude platform high heels from Kohl's: about $8 on clearance... for realz.

I have never shopped at a thrift store until just recently when I was curious of what Goodwill carried and lo and behold I came across this amazing purse. Only $3.49! I have a new outlook on thrift stores after finding this gem and I get compliments on it all the time. After my experience I can vouch that they carry very unique and rare items sometimes. One person's trash is another person's treasure. :)
