THE BAG EDITION 2014

Are you sitting down? NO, ARE YOU SITTING DOWN? You won't believe these three bags I'm about to show you. I went to my favorite thrift store, Unique and bought these 2 bags last Thursday.

First up: Kate Spade Vertical Leather Tote retailing for $378 on Lyst.com. It was $4.99 with 25% off, so I only paid $3.74. Say What!

The inside of the bag is lined in suede.

Check out this oxblood Urban Expressions bag. Retailing for $60 on Polyvore.com. 25% off Mondays, so it was only $9.74. Check the ostrich details.

Now, hold onto your seats. I found this LV Speedy 35 Damier Ebene this past Monday. It is available on LouisVuitton.com for $990. Check the price tag, $5.99. Now take 25% off of that and what do you get? That's right, $4.49. Cray! Cray!

Three designer bags for under $20! I love a bargain, don't you!!!

FASHION OG'S

With the numerous fashion shows happening during fashion week, I thought I'd do a DIY project in honor of the designers. I've always had a love for fashion.  I can remember watching fashion week when I was younger. Thinking back, it aired around midnight on a non-network channel.  Now-a-days you can watch a fashion show live on the Internet.

So, I stopped by Unique and bought these 4 frames for $2.12.

I searched the internet for images of famous designers and printed them out on a regular printer.  

I chose black and white images of Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Guccio Gucci, Cristobal Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Gianni Versace and Christian Dior for a more vintage look.

I used the picture glass and folded down the paper to mark where to cut.

I chose to showcase Coco, Yves, Gianni and Dior.  Whaddya think?

I stopped by Shoprite to pick up a few groceries and in the floral department, they always have a bucket of flowers marked reduced. For a $1.99, I think they add a pretty touch to this arrangement.
