Bargain Styling

I recently tried out Brooklyn based company’s Americas Basic tees. Having some cotton basic tops is a great asset to anyone’s closet. Here’s a review of Americas Basics.

In this photo: Racerback Ribbed Tanks - Salma ($6.90 - white), Tank Top With Body Hugging Ribbing - Sara ($6.90), and Summer Casual Short Dress - Jennifer ($8.50 - Fresh Green)

* Sure you can pick up a ribbed tank top anyday at Old Navy. What I liked about Americas Basics is how soft the shirt was and the shape it had to curve with your body and not just hang like a cheap tank does. I LOVE the Summer Casual Short Dress… but um.. it’s totally a shirt. Whoever is wearing this as a dress has got to have one nice can. But it’s a really cute top.. The elastic part acts as a band for the shirt to fall over it for a loose, beautiful top with a built in bra. At that price, I might stock up on Christmas gifts for my girlfriends. I Highly Recommend It!
Overall Rating: B+

Or also if you’re a shopper and you want something unique to own - this is a great site to check out.

I dream about one day owning a pair of Manolos or red-soled Louboutins..

I sometimes think..
1) Should I just splurge and buy them?
2) If I could even afford them, would I really wanna put down $500 on a pair of SHOES?!

So the reason I discuss my love of these shoes.. is today at HauteLook they are selling Manolos.. From May 4th 8am - May 5th 11pm

* Like any bargain site or store. You do have to fish through the “who would ever wear this” items
to the ohhh… I would wear this.

Here are some hot picks I found on the site:

SELE Stretch Plaid Trapeze Cropped Jacket (Sapph)

TAKARA Stretch Sateen Ruffled Blouse

RAMPAGE Marion Suede Peep Toe Heels (Black)

I have bought a few things off ebay: movies, concert tickets, random things… But I have never bought clothes or accessories…

I’m VERY hesitant to buy online or by catalogue just because I’m so picky about how things fit me.

But I keep hearing these great BARGAIN BUYS or SALES people are making on E-bay.
For example:

1) An old coworker sold all her daughter’s homecoming dresses on e-bay. Mine are still hanging in my closet. I know I’m never wearing them again.

2) A friend found her wedding dress at a boutique and then bought the same exact dress on ebay.

Both had really great experiences…
Have you ever bought any clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. on ebay?? How did it go?? (more…)
