 Isn't this the cutest picture ever? It's from Vogue Girl, which is Korea's equivalent of Teen Vogue. It makes me want to dress in super cute clothes and take a nap in a bathtub full of warm water!! And those red heels with ankle lace-rimmed socks are soooo darling.
All this sleep and nap talk is coming from the fact that it is almost finals week... Time to face the doom! Wish me luck!

 As you can see from my previous post, I am not buying anything if it is not on sale. If the economy is hurting your wallet as much as it has mine (and it probably is), the wise and smart thing to do is look fabulous for a fraction of the price. When you buy something so great for so cheap, it's one of the best feelings in the world!
For this post, I'm going to list specific items that I am eyeballing for my next purchase... all of which are on sale and/or really cheap! Look like you just walked off the catwalk for less than $22.80 a piece.
Let's get our bargain on!
I love ruffles, I love stripes, and I love scarves. Therefore, this scarf is a no-brainer purchase for me, especially at the friendly price of $8.99 at Charlotte Russe. Click here to purchase.
Spring is right around the corner... Do you have your perfect summer dress yet? This fun floral frock is only $17.95 here at Heavenly Couture. The thing that I love about this shop is that EVERYTHING is $17.95 or less, and almost all of their stuff is brand name.
Hey beauty junkies, looking for a gentle, natural eye makeup remover for a nice price? The Body Shop's Camomile Gentle Eye Make-up Remover, sold here on their website, dissolves lashes while conditioning lashes. It's organic and hydrating! It retails for $14.50, but is now over half off at $7.00, so grab one while it's still in stock!
For a jacket that will keep you warm and toasty for the remaining days of winter and would still be functional and stylish for spring, try this zipper accent athletic jacket for a pop of color from Forever 21. At only $22.80, this jacket will last you multiple seasons. Buy it here!
Hope this helps you expand your wardrobe... All pieces are under $23!
Remember, be a smart shopper and buy less for way cheaper than retail price.
SHOP AWAY!!!! :)

 Let's face it: all women LOVE buying things on sale (unless you are ridiculously rich or a fashion snob). It's the smart choice when shopping to save a few bucks in your wallet, especially during tough times like these. When buying fabulous clothes at cheap and wonderful pricies, you can't help but feel that exciting rush as you lunge for that last designer handbag marked 75% off or feel like you're floating on a cloud when you purchase that soft cashmere sweater for a fraction of the MSRP price.
And let's be honest, these past few blog posts were all for my personal enjoyment, but I feel nice today, so I'm going to tell you a few awesome sales on my blog!

 Freida Pinto is seriously on hot fire right now. After starring in Slumdog Millionaire, which is winning ALL the major film awards right now (BAFTA, Golden Globes, and um HELLO: THE OSCARS) and gaining a lot of publicity in the US, she's now taking the fashion world by storm. And she's only 24!!
She was born in Mumbai and was a former model before becoming an actress, so obviously it would be natural for her to look good in ANYTHING because of her tall slender figure. She's so beautiful, talented, and extremely stylish.
Most recently, besides award shows, she has been attending various fashion week shows throughout the globe! What a lucky girl.
Take this past Fashion Week in Milan! She attended and even walked on the runway for Dolce & Gabbana!
As for red carpet, she always looks so fresh and beautiful.
Her casual style is simple, stylish, and most importantly: CLASSY.
Look out for her! She's going to be BIG!

 Lauren Hutton is the new face of the latest JCrew catalog! It arrived in my mailbox and and I loved every piece on the models and on the beautiful actress herself. JCrew pieces are absolutely timeless and effortlessly chic.
Check out the trench coat she wore on the cover! She looks absoutely ravishing, even better than the other regular models.
Even Sasha and Malia Obama were dressed in CrewCuts for Inauguration Day! CrewCuts is the children's line for JCrew. They looked so adorable in their berry colored coats. Step aside Oscar De La Renta, it looks like JCrew will take your White House fashion crown (at a much more affordable price, too!)!!
Long live JCrew, the timeless, chic, and not-overwhelmingly-expensive makers of beautiful and high end clothing!

i have a rich aunt who has a plethora of designer goodies. i mean, her closet is stock full of a myriad of expensive stuff, and when i'm lucky, she'll hand me over one of her carefully used designer handbags. this is especially good news to me because as much as i love fashion, i seriously have $0 income. i'm sure most college students can attest to my brokeness.
well i must have done something good because today was one of those lucky days!
she gave me... her BOTKIER bag!!!! she gave me the botkier "bianca" satchel (the medium sized one). i have seriously been eyeballing this bag forever. everytime i stepped into a nordstroms or a bloomingdales, i could not peel my eyes off of this beauty. and now it's mine!
my beauty. the color got darker and more faded with age... but it looks a lot nicer now after being broken in.
it retails for about $500-$600... wayyyy out of my price range. but since it was a used bag, it makes it all the more special. the only downside is that stores like forever 21 and urban outfitters made a bunch of knockoffs of this bag in the exact same style. but i can proudly say that i have the REAL DEAL!
i am so excited. my inner fashionista is rejoicing. and now i am going to put all the contents of my old purse into my new (well, to me it's new) botkier!

| if you are a true fashionista, you will know that couture week just passed in paris.
for some reason, this season's couture looked more like a ready-to-wear collection, which was a tad disappointing because i love looking forward to the extravagance every season! even john galliano, the king of dramatic couture for christian dior, took it down a few notches. the ferocity was unfortunately lacking this time around. i'm guessing it's because of the economy and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to be too flashy, but i personally would have enjoyed it as a means of escapism.
one of the biggest highlights of this season was chanel. the clothes were beautiful (as usual), but the intricate headdresses were the scene stealers. can you believe these were made out of PAPER?!
aren't they just GENIUS?!
if anything else about couture week WOW-ed you, please let me know! :)
