Chanel Orange Fizz nail polish
I love animal print. Whether cheetah, leopard or zebra, it's subtle sexiness always has a way of winding itself into my wardrobe. So when I spotted these wild ones on Chrisette Michelle, I knew I had to hunt them down. Turns out they are called The York by Sam Edleman. My search led me to the usual suspects: name brand department stores. But if I had to pay retail I did not want to bother. I pressed on in search of fashion favor and remembered one of my favorite online shoe stores: Karmaloop. They tend to have some sweet deals with even sweeter coupon codes so I was able to nab a pair for $142 - that's over a $50 savings!
Get it at: Forever 21
Price: I don't remember exactly but I want to say $5.80...

Just ordered a few of these cute and preppy jersey knit cardigans from Forever 21. An XL or even a 1X may be ideal for busty girls like myself. I ordered the 1x because I want to layer over tees and camis. I also don't want to worry about shrinkage when I dry clean. Get yours for only $8 before they're gone and don't forget to use coupon code FAITH21SHOW for 10% off your order.
Fashion Favor: Norma Kamali racerback maxi dress
Summer time screams maxi dresses. I like all versions:shirred,strapped or halter top. But I love the tank top versions most of all. So sleek and instachic. Effortless! No matter what you pair it with. Havaianas or Converses? Wedges or gladiator flats? Cardigan or leather jacket? Layered pearls or chunky,stacked chain necklace? Diamond studs or ginormous hoops? Scarf or fedora? Need I go on? Not only did I buy the heather grey(regular version)but out of pure desperation I bought the black in the maternity(Ebay is selling the regular version in black for 29.99 or higher). Trust me IGNORE the "maternity" description. It is the same dress,same fit. With these 2 dresses,I plan on maximizing my maxi love all summer long.
Check out what I blew my gift card money from Nordstroms on: this Daydreamer bag from Juicy Couture. I have always wanted one but never felt like spending over $100 for it so of course I was overjoyed when I saw it was on sale for only $98. Ain't she cute? For some reason the bag has an 80s vibe....maybe it's the multi-colored studs that remind me of a Rubix Cube...
Fashion Favor: Mrs O the face of fashion democracy
Retail price:$25
Purchase price:$4.99
The O in Mrs O,for me,does not stand for Obama but Obsession. I get it from my mom. We have such a girlie crush on her. I recall seeing this book when it was released and thought, I need it. Even though the budget babe in me wouldn't allow me to part with $25,that same inner frugalista had no problems shelling out a cool $4.99. Not only was it a happy find but made for a happy end to my day.
Us Fashion Favor gals love any movie with a fashionista as the main heroine. While they left a few off the list ("Cher" from Clueless, "Andy" from Pretty in Pink) this article is still a good read. Check it out.
