A never ending story… Shall I spend $150 on that beautiful dress or do I buy three less expensive dresses for $50 each? Do I buy my clothes when they are hot or when the the hype is over?

There are a few ways you can save money shopping while still being fashionable:

• Many local stores have a discount area. You can usually get 20% up to 70% discount.
• Find look-a-like products (not illegal replica’s!). You can be amazed at how much two products from different brands can have resemblance.
• Look for B-brand products. There are very fashionable designs by less known brands. You don’t have to wear Gucci to be fashionable.
• Ones of the best options you have is visiting specific outlet stores which can be divided into two categories. The first type sells products (overstock) that were hot last year. The second type of store sells products that are damaged or have a fabrication error. For fashion this usually means you have a misprint or a knit that´s not in a perfect straight line. These outlet stores can be found both online and offline.

Let’s have a look at three great examples that are not expensive, but still fashionable!

Chain accented fashion handbag – look-a-like products

These very fashionable handbags come into two colors cream and pink. Sold for only $29.95. This is not an exact replica of a known brand, that would be illegal.

BCBG Max Azria Larah Low Heel Elastic Sandal – Discount

A perfect example of a famous brand that’s sold at a discount. A stunning 70% discount from $185 down to $53.97

Brandless Cowl Front T

Sold for just $34.50. Although the finishing is not as subtle  as most brands would finish it this shirt is still beautiful. Available in 4 colors.

These 3 examples should give you a good idea of what you can buy without spending a fortune. The options are limitless for being fashionable on a budget.

End of summer post – Sandals (how ugly can it get?)

i was fortunate enough to travel a bit during the summer months this year and i was sometimes amazed of how many ugly sandals i saw this summer.

So here it is my end of summer post – sandals – how ugly can it get?

well, i cant forget the ugly sandals i noticed everywhere in Barcelona last month, it was everywhere, but the worse thing was, it was on mens’ feet – yikes – wrote about it enough on my previous post about spain (scroll down)
Continuing the sandals from hell countdown.

on the 3rd place i choose these:  Cocobelle ‘Bahia’ Sandal

Can be purchased at http://www.barefoottess.com – hurry it is now down to 9.99 instead of a regular price of 69.00 (oh lord)

on the 2nd place: Jesus sandals which i found on this hilarious forum

and on the top of my list  – the craziest ugliest sandal around   (drum roll) : Bootie Sandal – brought to you straight from the “navajo museum of horrors”

I found this funny thing on “Dang, Those are ugly shoes” blog – which is the funniest thing ever (u be amazed of how many ugly shoes are here, walking the earth, among us.)

Back From Spain

I was in Spain for the last few days and i discovered some horrors – YES , there are some real ugly shoes you would never suspect young guys to wear – but they do, i learned that the hard way, seeing them everywhere.

i searched google for a while since i couldn’t just go to some dude on the street and take a picture of his ugly sandals, and after a while,  I found it – here they are.

Shoes Can Be Dead Ugly

yes, this is a fact i learned in the last few days, ever since my post about the ugly nike shoes i looked around on other people’s feet, checking their shoes and laughing inside of me every once in a while. Well, im a big fan of shoes and while most of the shoes around me i just love, some of them still make you go grrrr. I decided to Google some shoes and see what can be found out there….and the horrors i saw – imagine that…and it is not only due to the fact this stuff should only go on Asian clothes, it is also because it has …puppies!!!!

And now, I am proud to present, probably the  ugliest shoe out there: (got to love those puppies)

What is Going on With Nike?

This is just  UGLY, no other word for that – UGLY as crap, i must say, i love sport, i love sneakers, i love strange looking, multi colors tennis shoes, but this is just too much….come on Nike – what is going on with you? looks like an Adidas guy got into your designer team and making a huge joke on you….

and if you think this is a one time thing – think again – it goes on and on….WTF

So what do you think? Nike is loosing it ha?
