Beautiful Besty

The new Betsey sweater at JCrew is the perfect sweater at the perfect price. Can't afford $200-$300 a pop for a cashmere sweater to keep you warm in the winter and if your a California girl during the cool summer nights try JCrew's new Betsey Sweater. Made with special mercerized lambswool, known for its incredible softness this sweater looks and feels just like cashmere (and isn't that why we buy cashmere because we love how soft it is). Check it out in all of its gorgoeus colors and you will be one stylish girl at less than half the price. Does JCrew ever let a classic girl down...never!

Leggings...a girls best friend?

Leggings just became a girls best friend. You have seen all the celebrity shots of young Hollywood rocking Lisse leggings known as the best shapewear leggings out there... http://www.lisseleggings.com/ . They run around $60 and can be pretty pricey (if you can put a price on hiding your tummy)?

Good news is if you are looking for a cheaper version I have found just the pair...Flexee's by maiden form http://www.maidenform.com/shapewear/styles/all-shapewear?facet=%2cbrands%3aFlexees%26reg%3b%2cstyles%3aAll+Shapewear%3aLeggings for fat free dressing. Normally $30 (half the price of the Lisse) you can now grab a pair at your local Costco for $13. I actually have on a pair right now...so when your stocking up for all your bulk items next time do yourself a favor and grab a pair of Flexee's leggings. You wont regret it and you will look better than you ever thought you could in a second skin pair of leggings!

Missioni for Target September 13th

Ok so I have not written in my blog forever but I have a good reason to check back in. Target for Missioni. On September 13th Missioni will launch over 400 items for Target in a limited campaign. Items will range from $2.99 to $600 from furniture to bikes, shoes and clothes. I have seen the pieces and Missioni holds to it's classic style and with wide variety from throw blankets, mugs, scarves, swimsuits and more... I know where I will be getting all my Christmas presents this year. See you at Target on September 13th! Can't wait!

A dream come shoe?

Best news ever! I am a huge fan of Christian Louboutin simple pumps. They are gorgeous, sexy, practical, and my most favorite part...the round toe! I have a very traditional taste in shoes and find that all the ones I like are in the $600 range (or higher yikes!) which makes them out of my price range - maybe with a gift certificate and a Christmas bonus but for the most part I just can't have them. And the thing is great shoes can make you look great and feel great. They turn an ordinary outfit into an extrodinary outfit and make us feel like the ladies we are (January Jones walks around the house in Mad Men vacuuming in 4 inch heels - the shoes make house cleaning look sexy). So the good news is I have just discovered the web site milkandhoneyshoes.com. Custom shoes designed by you for you. Everything you want from $200 to $325 - you can even put in notes for the shoes makers. A dream come true? Yes- it's a dream come shoe!

"You don't have to live a privileged life to live a privileged fashion life".

This is the moto I try to live by and want to share with all of you in my blog. I love clothes and wish I could spend all my time shopping and playing dress up but sadley I can't. There is a running joke with my better half that  I am a professional shopper because I love nice clothing but need to be able to buy it a reasonable prices. What I will share with you are clothes I love and finds that will allow you to live a privileged fashion life without having privileged financial life.
