Since being a diva in diapers, I have had a love affair with a sexy red lip. I attribute it to all the screen sirens from the golden era of Hollywood. They taught me that we can easily be transformed into an unstoppable force with a flick of a lipstick wand. Those memories recently fueled my purchase of Chanel Glossimer in Red Shine. Not only did it instantly awaken my sleeping beauty within but it encouraged me to let my outward glamazon proudly shine on.
Fashion Favor: 80's off the should tee
Location: Forever 21
Retail price: $14.90
Purchase price: $2.99
To this day I can't determine if I love Flashdance for the storyline or the fashion. The fashion. Now that the off the shoulder tee is back, I am doing my best to overdose. I found the perfect short sleeved version of the 80's classic at Forever 21 at a great price. That deal had me humming What a feeling,bein's believin!
I had seen these Converse Glitter sneakers but I refused to pay $34.99 but when Dee put me on to the clearance section at Target that had these babies for under $10, I had to take advantage of them.
Honestly, I would rather find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow but this Hot Topic Barbie hoodie I won off of Ebay will have to do...
Fashion Favor: Barbie pillowcase
Location: Pottery Barn Kids
Retail price: $16.99
Purchase price: $5.99
Anyone that knows and loves me, has come to tolerate my complete obsession with any and everything Barbie. This delightful pillowcase is no exception. At that price, I am thinking of getting a few more...for ya know...back up. Intervention...anyone?
If home is where the heart is, why not place the key to your "heart" on a worthy key chain. My perfect fit is the Dior Lady Dior French Chic mini bag compact. What is your's?
Fashion Favor: Juicy Couture Puff Heart earrings
Location: Juicy Couture, Prime Outlets, Orlando, Fl
Retail Price: $35.00
Purchased price: $14.95
Just in time for Valentine's Day, my hubby bought these cuties. I have been on the hunt for some super cute everyday studs. Don't get me wrong, I adore my Coach Mirandas but honestly I needed a slightly smaller pair. Aren't they the sweetest of deals?
Bought these lovelies last week. They were perfect for my "Rocker Chic" look that I wanted to work at the Melanie Fiona concert over the weekend. Only $49.98 online and $59.99 in the store from Aldo Shoes.
Fashion Favor: Coach tie
Location: Coach, Prime Outlets, Orlando,fl
I love ties. So imagine my joy when I discovered this beauty in the clearance section with not only the additional 50% but another additional 20% off applied as well. Grand total $10 compared to the suggested retail of $48. Cha Ching!
OPI's Alice in Wonderland came out last week and I am obsessed. So obsessed that I bought 3 bottles of the limited edition color. $8.50 at your local Ulta.
I am addicted to anything 88 palette. After getting the multicolor shimmer I had to have the warm for everyday use. I have not applied the color yet - I just open up the palette and stare at the pretty colors. It's like the 64 Crayola Crayon box for grown-up girls. Loves it.
It's official. I'm obsessed with Urban Decay products. Nothing beats their 24/7 eyeliner, eyeshadow primer and lip primer. My eyeshadow NEVER creased or faded and my lip gloss stayed put without feathering. I'm a fan for life. And with the money I save by shopping at Ulta and using their coupons, I can feed my UD addiction.
Dillard's was having a great sale at the Seminole Town Center in Sanford - 70% off! I got these BCBG Girls Border pumps for only $33. I love the metal detail and chunky heel. They were surprisingly comfortable and I can't wait to wear them.
The Fashion Favor gals love Florida mall. It's one of the largest malls in Central Florida and there is no end to the deals and trends you can find. Check out what a travel insider had to say about it!

Fashion Favor: Louis Vuitton Papillon Bandeau
I was already too excited about my trip to New York City with my Bs(Brittany and Bhoranie). Oh the endless possibilites. So could you even imagine the joy that I experienced when I found the beauty pictured below. It had almost became a missed opportunity. Earlier I gave the showcase a once over as I passed it. I didn't see anything appealing. Browsed throughout the store. Came up empty handed. Out of deseperation, I checked the showcase one more time. Staring back at me, was the Louis Vuitton Papillon Bandeau in purple. She was posted up behind the glass. Like an orphan or pound puppy. I recalling having it on my list on thethingsiwant.com. Eventually I removed it because it was no longer available. That is the price you pay in regards to limited edition items. I quickly asked the SA for the price and she quickly responded with $50 and it came with the box. I yelled for Britt to come..quickly. She is my resident LV expert. Once she gave it the thumbs up,its was on its way back to Florida.
Location: Prime Outlet, Orlando, Fl American Apparel
Fashion Favor: Fine jersey T dress
I can't get enough of American Apparel. Simple clothing that can be styled up or down. Especially the T dresses. I was in need of some Britt time, so we bonded over two of our favorite Ss: sushi and shopping. This is where American Apparel comes in to play. While browsing the outlets, we stopped by American Apparel and discovered the T dresses were not only at the outlet store but on sale for $10 and if ya bought two or more I believe $8 each. I thought ebay was the only way to get a deal on these beloved dresses. As much as I adore em...$26 is way too much for two panels of cotton sewn together. Britt grabbed three. I went back and grabbed one. Now do I really need one in asphalt and red? Must...fight...it! I need to strangle my inner Rainbow Bright.
Location: Ross, Florida
Fashion Favor: linQ Hoodie Swing Dress minus the hoodie(below the sweater version)
I stopped in Ross to get a coffee mug for hubby for being...well...for being the best hubbs ever. A just because gift. Anyways enough about him. As of late, when it comes to shopping, I am goal-orientated and refuse to deviate. However, instead of heading directly to housewares, I hung a sharp right to the clearance section in the dress department. Tucked among the discounted delights, was a linQ swing dress. Without the hood? Darn! I had seen the same style dress before in peach at another Ross for $7.49. Peach! Really? Now it was here in black for $4.99. A far cry from the original pricing of $74($168 with the hood). To think I vowed to shop my closet this year. Shhh. Let's keep this our dirty lil secret.
Location: Coach, Prime Outlet,Orlando, Fl
Fashion Favor: Miranda raised stud earrings
I know I could drive the average person batty when it comes to all things fashion. That is why I thank God for Britt. She maybe Charlotte ala SATC fashion wise. But when it comes to SATC friendships she is Carrie to my Miranda. She is able to tread through my obsessions. Que intro of the Coach Miranda stubs that I talked about on a weekly bases named after my SATC namesake(I would like to think). On our second or was it third 20% coupon from Coach, my beloved Carrie makes the trek out to the two local Coach outlets in hopes of scoring. I recall saying to her per our phone conversation while she was at the first outlet...man, if they get the mirandas...I need em,stat! Also I want em for $30. But I noted that they were still on Coach's website for $58. And the likelihood they would be at either one would be highly illogical. She mentioned that she will bypass the second outlet because she was tired. This was after she told me they had our python turnlock bracelets for $99 when we paid $25 each for our(another talkshow topic). So time passes and my phone rings. Instead of saying hi, I answer with what did you find. I hear...dee, they have em! Have em? In a calm voice, Britt continues they have the mirandas here at an addtional 30% compounded with the 20% via email. I felt like the wind was sucked out of my body. Before I could say hey could you...Britt had them in tow and was headed to checkout with a pair for herself as well. Bring the grand total with tax to 29.22. To quote Luke 6:45 Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If that can work for the earrings, I need to use my powers of good and apply it to my long suffering obsession...the Birkin.
For the third time this month, I went back to the Coach outlets because of that darn 20% off coupon they keep sending out. They really know where to hit a Fashionista below the belt. Any who, I got this scarf and key fob for $15 each and the much needed agenda for about $52. Remember the LV large agenda I treated myself to for Christmas last year? Yeah...well it broke - it was defective which is out of the norm for LV. I think it was a fluke but I did not want to take another chance so I got the classic American icon that is Coach. Don't laugh, but I am going back tomorrow - I need a long silver necklace and I think I spotted one last week!
