I love designer items but not the price tag. I do love to save that coin! Here are my favorite dupes I've purchased to get the style for less. I'll include links for items if they are still available. Also pictured are the designer items and the links for them. Some of the photos are from Pinterest which I have linked for you as well. Now, let's begin! Hope you enjoy! First category is shoes. Now for me, I do have a small designer shoe collection, but all of these items were purchased preloved. I find it really hard to pay more than $500 on shoes that just touch the ground and get dirty. I just can't justify it. So I do try to get them used and or find a great dupe. I'm going to do a post with my entire designer shoe collection next week, so make sure to check that out.  The Gucci loafer Photo Credit Pinterest I'm so in love with this trend. I just think it makes every outfit instantly look high fashion. I love the look but I just cant spend $1,00...

When I became a Mom, I knew there would be some big changes in my life but I was determined to still be a fashionista.  I had a list of things to do because I was determined to be a "cool" Mom. 1. Still get dressed everyday (They are fresh leggings not last weeks leggings) 2. Wear Fab shoes (they are just a little lower) 3. Carry a cute handbag (they just have interesting cargo) 4. Wear some makeup when leaving the house. (big sunglasses and lipstick go a long way) These are some tricks that keep my inner diva alive and my new Mom in check. Top handle bag scarf trick My first designer handbag was and LV Speedy 25 Monogram -- pictured above.  It was a top handle only and with my lifestyle change, my bag was left on the shelf.  Honestly, I thought I was going to sell it.  I was looking at one of my favorite YouTubers, MelSoldera , and she showed some bags on her wishlist and one if them was the New Dior evolution bag and they had it styled with a t...

Items that everyone needs in their closet to be the spring this year. I have taken the liberty of searching the web for some eye candy and to help you get ideas of what to look for. Lets start with my favorite category Handbags! You want bright, colorful and floral! These are the bags all the other bags wish they could be #mybagshavefeelings. Shoes is all about the metallics! Shinny is a must and it can be gold silver or even rose! Basically if you can see you face in it you are good to go.  Clothing is Denim, Denim, and more Denim. Mix and match is ok now! Hello 2001 how I have missed you. It was a simpler time then Justin Timberlake had highlights and curls and Paris Hilton thought everything was hot! Now for the icing on top Jewelry. "frost yourselves" Shameful move quote. Pack up the pearls and chunky pieces. Trade them for lighter, layering pieces for necklaces and bracelets. Earrings go for a thin dangle arrow or simple hoop. ...

I am a lover of fashion but handbags and shoes are my weakness! Now I know some people don't understand the appeal of designers bags. I wanted to share with you, why I love them and how I'm  able to afford them. Also, to give some perspective to those that don't understand why we collect. First the appeal of designer bag. I know some people think it is the showy factor. Look what I have and guess how much it set me back? To be completely honest most lovers of designer bags and collectors aren't purchasing to make them "look" a certain way. Most of us who own them don't show them off or talk about the items we have. We are secretly worried of the judgement on what we decided to spend are money on. There is a you-tuber I follow Eva in the City This video is about how she use to say her bags were fake because of what she thought people would think. To be honest when I would first wear my bags out I was worried people were judging me too. But af...
