"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." -Coco Chanel

Fashion Haul!

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! I know that I usually do a Fashion Find Friday for this kind of stuff, but I just couldn't wait! I recently have been doing a bit of school shopping and it seems that every time I go shopping, always buy something new for my closet. Today's haul consists of items bought during different shopping excursions I have gone on the past few weeks and I feel like everything I purchased was amazingly well priced and will make my wardrobe a little more sophisticated and college-like.
I found it a bit easier to put up the picture and just list the items purchased, where they were purchased, and how much they cost. I hope it will be a bit easier for you all to follow.

Let's get started with the clothing items!


  1. Purple button-down collared shirt (JCPenny)-Orig. $22, SALE $9
  2. Black & white tribal patterned collared shirt (JCPenny)-Orig. $22, SALE $9

Shop-happy Sunday

So today my family and I all went to the new outlet mall to see what stores and deals they had. We arrived at the mall to see that all of the stores were to be considered "upper class" stores. And me having a "champagne taste on a beer budget" could not afford much of what was for sale at these fancy stores. My favorite stores to glance at were Michael Kors, Coach, Charlotte Russe, and GUESS. But of course, I can't go to a mall without getting something. So I went in to the Old Navy outlet and browsed around, eventually selecting a few things to try on. I ended up purchasing the items below. Two pairs of flip flops and a coral tank top. I never like to say this about a mall, but that outlet mall was the absolute WORST outlet mall I have ever been to. Alright, enough ranting, I am just glad that I found a few things to add to my closet :)



Until next time! -FashionistaForever<3

Fashion Find Friday! Friday, June 21, 2013

I know, I'm a terrible blogger. I keep forgetting to blog :( I have been trying to think of a few ways that would make remebering to blog every day easier, one of these ways is scheduling future blog posts, and the other is making my fashion finds segment a Friday only statement. Now, I know I probably won't stick with only showing you lovely people my fashion finds soley on Fridays, but I am going to attempt to do so. Today I will be showing you a few items that I have tried on or bought today at JCPenny. So, without further adue, here we go!

I woke up super early today so I decided to go shopping for a few hours before work. So I stood in the mini line to get into JCPenny (this was the small pre-opening line). The banners labeled "SHOP!", "SALE!", and "CLEARANCE" screamed for me to admire each peice of discounted clothing. How can one resist the fine smell of retail in the morning? I sure know that I can't. The two items seen in the picture below were the first two items I tried on. The button-down tank top in the blue and green cheetah print was adorable and afordable, unfortunately, I did not think that it looked right with the glow of my paper white skin. The blue v-neck t-shirt in this picture was something that I was so glad to find. For some reason, I have the hardest time finding the basics. This blue is my absolute favorite shade of blue. It really makes my eyes pop and the color of the shirt makes my hair look brighter and more shiny. This shirt actually made me think of a future segment for my blog. It will be titled "What Works with Your Body?" if you are interested in reading it. Anyways, back to this segment...I fell in love with this blue shirt and another more elegant black and yellow-green babydoll tank top. I did not want to include this shirt in these pictures because I was planning on revealing it on the next Fashion Find Friday. 




Well, I have to head to work now, I hope you all have a fabulous Friday! -FashionistaForever<3

Clothing Haul!

​I am so sorry that this was so delayed! I finally am able to sit down for a short while to type up this segment for the first time in a while. So without further adieu here is the recent clothing haul I went on! 

A few days ago I went to my local mall to explore this season's semi-annual sales. In my opinion, the stores that were having the best sales were Bath & Bodyworks, Victoria's Secrets, and H&M. And of course, those are the stores that I spent the most money in. All together I bought 5 shirts, 1 dress, 1 necklace, 2 purses, 2 perfumes, and 3 bottles of lotion. 



​At the first store I hit, Bath & Body Works, I spent $9.48 (tax included) and bought over $50 worth the products! The spray bottle in the back of the picture on the left side is the scent "Country Apple". It is a retired scent and this bottle would originally cost you $12 and I bought it for the amazing price of $3! The bottle of lotion in front of the apple scented spray is called "Honey Sweetheart". It was originally $11 and I got it for 75% off which came to be about $2.29. The bottle of lotion across from the "Honey Sweetheart" lotion is called "Capri Seaside Citrus." This bottle of lotion retails for $11 and I got it for free (due to me exchanging and complaining about the "Venice Dulce Berry" lotionI received  as a gift.) The spray beind the citrus lotion is called "Berry Flirt" body mist. This bottle of spray originally costs $14 and I bought it for $3.78. I really wanted to get this spray because I recently ordered the "Berry Flirt" lotion and hand sanitizer online from them.



The next store that I went to was H&M. There I got a lot of 'bang for my buck.' Overall I spent $53 dollars even, but I ended up using a $25 gift card which made the total come up to about $36 with tax. This is where I purchased 4 out of the 5 shirts, the dress, and the necklace. The green shirt with the bejeweled shoulders was originally $19.95, but I purchased it for $10! The striped razor-back tank  to the right of the green shirt was the only piece of clothing I bought at the original retail price of $12.95. Below the green shirt is a black printed zipper-back tank that was originally $19.95 and I purchased it for the outstanding price of $5!!! The black v-neck laced shouldered shirt next to the printed tank was originally priced at $15.95 and it was purchased at the sale price of $7! The last piece of clothing purchased at H&M was this blue cheetah printed dress with a majorly cut out back. This dress was originally $29.95 and I bought it for the amazing price of $10! The necklace that was purchased at H&M is the necklace seen lying on top of the black v-neck top. This necklace was originally $11.95 and I purchased it for $7. 



​Victoria's Secret can be a rather expensive store, that is unless you go to their amazing Semi-Annual Sale! There I purchased an ASU shirt by Pink, to be worn at school in the fall, for $22.34 (with tax). This shirt would have originally cost me $39.59. I also got a free pair of Pink panties (originally priced $10.50), due to this amazing app I purchased for FREE on my iPad. This app is called PINK Nation. On this app, it has a slots-like game which allows you to play 25 times a day to try to get a free panty! I found out (from a little snooping on the app) that you don't even have to play to win! Just click the FREE PANTY link next to the controller for the game. I HIGHLY suggest you getting this app and trying this for yourself! 



​Today I ended this week's shopping extravaganza by stopping in at my nearby Target to look around at the clothing an accessories. And to my surprise they had an amazing clearance rack which lead to me purchasing two purses, both for only $5.98 each (both were originally priced at $19.98)!!! 


​Nothing beats a day of shopping thrifty and getting the most for your money! I hope this will encourage you, my readers, to get past the summer heat and head out to your local mall to find out what deals they have going on that will benefit both your closet AND your wallet.

Until next time! Stay fashionable my friends! -FashionistaForever<3
