I just read about this tasty treat of the latest Dreyer’s Limited Edition ice cream flavor is called Red, White, and No More Blues. Read about it at Limited Edition Foods.. Sounds delicious..

Color denim jeans are all the rage this spring. I already have a pair in purple.

Spring fashion always comes out when the weather is still cold and you can’t even fathom the idea of trying on bathing suits..

Here’s a glimpse into Spring 2009 Style:

1. Nautical sweaters: Yacht club attire, chuncky knits, and love this one.. Hoodies!!

Priorities
bluefly: $69.00

2. Bold and Beautiful Handbags: I repeat bold.. And bold does NOT mean Coach.. If I see another Coach handbag, I think I’ll get sick.. Why do you want a purse that everyone has.. Sooo boring. Confession: I do own one coach purse. I was young and got it as a gift - even though I did specifically ask for it. I’d like to think I’m more unique as I get older.

Juicy Couture Women’s Crown Button Elongated Clutch Wallet
Bloomingdales: $158

Okay - Before you bite my head off and remind me this is a BUDGET blog.. check out these other Spring finds.. (more…)

For my first post here, I bring you a post about an absolutely adorable dress.

This cotton candy pink v-neck dress is a perfect spring/summer dress. Originally $64, you can get it at BlueFly.com for $32.30 on sale (originally $38). Made of mid-weight woven linen, this dress has a crocheted trim around the neck, with under-bust trim. This dress ties in the back and is unlined (so you may want to get a slip to wear under it - unless you want people to see your bra). They currently only have one size available (medium), so if you want this dress, you’d better step on it!

I realized it’s been a while since I’ve featured ensembles for under $100 huh? You can look FABULOUS for under $100. Yes you can. I do it all the time Let me show you. By the way, each pieces of clothing costs $15. If you click on the picture you’ll be directed to the store.

There you go, a red floral crinkle top over a black pleated skirt and a braided strappy heels. $45. You have extra for your choice of accessories . You can wear this anywhere. Either a casual date, or a laid-back event, seriously, any occassion.

Yup, you’ve read it right. I’m not sure if I like it. I don’t think PAYLESS is investing on it either judging by the 9 items on the quilted collection. See for yourself.

White isn’t really a good color for mothers carrying a purse. It’s just not practical. It will be filled with lines from markers and crayons. Sticky from candy wrappers. And definitely not a good look if it’s buging with all the bags of tricks Mommy’s seem to come up with when out with kids. BUT, if I didn’t have all these things to consider of, I’d definitely have these 2 white bags from $15 Store. then again, since they’re only $15 each, maybe it’s ok to have one? Hmmm…

This shoulder bag is from the Chinese Laundry collection. I love the buckle straps and braided trim accent.

This satchel is from XOXO. I like it but it’s too small. Maybe a “date purse” but eh, sometimes I can’t be bothered to change bags. The braided strap that closes over the zip top is cute though

This is what I wore last night when we went out to dinner(and shopping afterwards, WOOT!). The $8 UNIONBAY pants, the L.E.I graphic tee that was among the haulage this past Memorial Day sale. A butterfly pendant necklace from Hot Topic(a gift form the hubby years ago), the remaining beads bracelet that I own(Baby Girl broke my other 2), DG blinged sunnies and Xhilaration black teardrop earrings from Target(can’t remember how much). The RAMPAGE studded platform shoes to complete the look.

I know you’ve all been dying to know what I managed to find myself this past Memorial Day sale. Let’s just say, I was a happy shopaholic. I shopped for the 4 of us. Great finds, great sale, great haulage. Woohoooo. Without further adieu, since I’ve made you wait long enough.

Blue L.E.I graphic tee with gathered ruched hem on the sides and puff-cap sleeves. Originally $17, after 75% off, I only paid $4.25

Another great find from the $15 store. Ahhhh, I love the dark cobalt blue color. That’s what initially drew me to this piece. See, my husband said I look really good in dark hues of blue, hence me falling in love with the navy blue polka dot wrap dress that I found from the same store last week. I’m still looking for a perfect pair of navy blue pumps that I can afford of course . Anyway, back to the dress. This strapless, bow front mesh dress is from Jonathan Martin. There’s is a smocking on top along the upper back so your boobs are very well protected . If you like this one, grab it ASAP coz it’s also among their “last call” list.

I bought that 2-piece halter top tankini and boy shorts combo at Wal-Mart last week for the Memorial Weekend. I love the embellished gold tones of the top and the front lining waist band on the boy shorts. I didn’t wear my backless brown tankini coz I thought it was too sexy for the event. Fitting into a 2-piece suit was my goal after I had my baby August of last year. I finally got to fit in one. Albeit it’s a tankini and not the skimpy 2-piece bikini I’m still working on, it’s still a 2-piece nonetheless . I picked a tankini/boy shorts combo because as much as I am proud of myself for losing weight, I’m not confident enough yet to let my stretch marks show. One day I will but not right now. Tankini is a great option if you’re feeling the same way I do. By the way, this new suit is $22.76 .

GAP is getting rid of their Spring items by taking 75% off the original prices. NICE. If only I shop there a lot. Or if I shop there at all..LOL. I mostly go to the GAP Kids. For some reason, the sales clerk at the Kids department are more friendly. They greet people as they come in and very accomodating while you’re perusing the children’s clothings. While on the other side of the store are a bunch of snotty clerks who couldn’t be bothered to smile at anyone. They’re usually behind the counter gossiping about someone. This is my experience from the few GAP stores I’ve been to anyway. Maybe because I was pushing a stroller that they thought “OMG, she couldn’t possibly afford and wear GAP clothes”. Ah, the humanity.

Now that I gotten that off my system, let me show you the stuff I would buy from their 75% off Sale if I shop there.

First skirt is light blue geometric eyelet skirt. I love the flirtyness of it. If you’ve known me long enough, you know I adore eyelet designs. As much as I love polka-dots prints like the second skirt. It has a ruffle pleated trimmed waist with ribbon belt. The hem is tiered. Purrrrrty.

Of course when I saw this white tiered empire dress, I had to include it in my virtual shopping cart . You know I love white dresses, especially the eyelet ones. I couldn’t say no to the black eyelet empire dress either. The ruffled trim and scallopped hem weren’t too shabby either.

I might have a few more coming up from the GAP 75% OFF SALE. Virtual shopping is definitely more enjoyable than shopping at their store, heh. Except the Children’s section. I love them, just want to reiterate that part :).

How about you take advantage of their sale yourself. Do it virtually or at their store, your pick

I said, in a few days but I couldn’t help myself when I clicked the dress category that is waiting for me at 15dollarstore.com. And Boy did I find some gorgeous ones. I just had to continue my online retail therapy.

White dress during the Summer is an item everyone should have. If you find one with a floral embroidery graphic detail on it, well, you just hit the jackpot. I mean look at this dress. *SIGH*

I’m still in a retail therapy mood. Online that is. But trust me, I am waiting patiently for the Memorial Sale that I know is going to happen this weekend at the Air Foce Base that we frequent during the weekends. Remember my $4 Ralph Lauren top? How about the $8 UNIONBAY pants? Just check out my Friday’s Bargains after reading this post to get an idea of the kind of deals that awaits me this weekend.

Anyway, here are more tops that is helping this ailing fashionista right now. Wait till you see how much they are and where I found them

(more…)

How about this pin dot print with ruffles set? The color alone got me all excited. I love all the hues of blue so this torquoise bikini didn’t escape my eyes. The ruffles trim adds a playful site to this already sexy and naughty pair. It ties in the back for closure so as the neck part. While the scoop bottom ties in the sides. Sold separately, for $14.99 each.
