FASHION DEAL DIVA: Daily Etsy Spotlight



































I'm going to make a BOLD statement right now.

Are you ready?

ARE YOU READY????

Here we go....

These are the best snowflake earrings I have ever seen.

BAM!

They capture all the joy of the holidays and the winter season while also staying super chic and classy. Seriously, these are $20??? You know you would pay at least $60 for them in a department store, you know it!

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Flower Power.



What are you doing with your hair on your wedding day? I still have no idea but I do like the look of a single flower tucked into a low bun or sideswept hair that I've seen on several brides this year.

The plus of buying a fake flower fascinator is that is won't wilt or go limp on you after dancing your butt off all night, an important factor to take into account indeed.

Your t-shirt colors should change with the season. I found this olive tee to be very "November." Why does olive green mean "November" to me? I'm not sure. Is this not convincing? What if I said it's super soft and well made? Now I have your attention!

Price: $14.99

FASHION DEAL DIVA: I'll Be So Blue Blue Ruffle Without You





















My favorite shade of blue! The color does the trick here. It's simple with a cute ruffle style element on the shoulders, which gives a nod to the big shoulders trend without making you look like Samantha in Sex And The City II (you know what I'm talking about!)

Made By: Express

Price: $19.99

COMFY COQUETTE: Flirty Skirt


This flirty skirt is just the thing you need to top off a cute bra and undies set (behind closed doors, of course). It is sure to wow, yet still really easy to wear and provides just enough coverage. I like the blue because it it gives a great dash of color and breaks up the black-red-pink staples in my goodie drawer. And this is the kind of lingerie I can totally get behind - not too tight, lace and flounce, versatile... and totally wow worthy.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Abstractly Speaking




















You gotta love shopping at Target. I went there to buy some eye makeup for my Cleopatra costume, some Halloween candy, and....this shirt???

I was just standing on the checkout line when I saw this shirt. And it was magically just within my arm's reach!!! I hoped for the best with a small and threw it in my cart.

All I can say is..wow! This shirt looks and feels like it could be on a rack in J. Crew or Ann Taylor, but it's WAY CHEAPER!!! I love the abstract gray and black color splotches, and the center ruffle that is perfect for under a suit.

Price: $17.99

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Legging Lace






















About a week ago, someone asked me where they could find patterned leggings. I directed them to the usual places (American Apparel, Target, etc.), but I didn't realize ModCloth had this fabulous pair of eggplant colored lace leggings now on sale for just $14.99!

These leggings are a great option if you have a black tunic/dress that you need to wear with something underneath. The color is not so crazy that you'll draw a ridiculous amount of attention to yourself, and that's an important consideration with leggings!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - BCBG




















Yayyyyyyy....BCBG's fall stuff is FINALLY being put on sale! I have had my eye on this silk boyfriend shirt for months, and to see it on sale at a price I think it's worth...it's about time!

You can get a lot of mileage out of a boyfriend shirt, because you can wear it out and pair it with jeans or black pants, OR you can get a patterned or shiny legging to lighten up your look. Don't want to wear the shirt out? No problem! Tuck it into a skirt for a completely different look. This shirt is also perfect for work and play alike.

Made By: BCBG

Price: $110.60 (originally $158.00)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Who Says A Turtleneck Can't Be Sexy?





















When you hear the word "turtleneck", you probably don't associate it with the word "sexy." Turtlenecks cover up so much, so it's hard to make one sexy.

Victoria's Secret has seemingly done the impossible and made this turtleneck one of the sexiest items of clothing ever featured on this blog. Is it see through? Sort of! Shiny and lacey? It grabs your attention! I could totally see myself wearing this shirt with a black bandeau bra and a tight mini skirt, yaowza!

Made By: Victoria's Secret

Price: $49.50

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Three Words Or Less














Describe in three words or less.

I'm sure very long y-necklaces exist/have existed for quite some time. However, I've never seen one THIS long. It is intriguing to me. What would I wear this with? Maybe a v-neck brown dress? Or perhaps a sheer ivory blouse to contrast the beautiful colors of the necklace? What would you wear with it? I love anything beautiful and different, and I love this necklace because it's both.

A&E calls this their "date shirt." While it's surely appropriate for a date, it's appropriate for a wide range of fancy and casual activities.

I love this navy. It's rich and dark, yet still bright. Sometimes navy can look a bit blah, or lackluster, but A&E has captured that shade of navy that brightens a room instead of darkening it.

Made By: American Eagle

Price: $39.99 (originally $49.99)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Classic Cross-Body




















Juicy Couture really runs the gamut with their purses. Some (most?) belong feature on episodes of Jerseylicious, and others (like the one featured above) are classic, extremely chic pieces that will stand the test of time in any state (Jersey included!) (Note: if you do not watch the show "Jerseylicious", you should...it's some of the most entertaining reality television I've ever seen.)

Chain strap cross body bags are the "in" bag of the moment for purses, but they never actually go out of style, so $138 for this purse is a great investment.

Found At: Saks

Price: $137.99 (originally $198.00)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Video Fashion Review

Hey my fashionistas, please check out my first ever video fashion review! I am hoping to do at least one a week, and I'm aiming to do another one this Tuesday!

VINTAGE VIXEN: Slips

Slips are a must! While wearing any unlined skirt or dress, a slip is a must. There are a wide range of expensive and affordable slips in the new retail market. I am here to alert you to the amazing range of less expensive to very affordable slips in the vintage market.

I think a great closet has many slips. You should have a few lengths, in a few colors, to cover most skirt situations completely. A great slip can help an outfit succeed almost as effectively as a great skirt or dress! A slip is the key to looking polished no matter what you are wearing.

Find two inspirations below. Happy slip shopping!!

Till next time,

FASHION DEAL DIVA: My Perfect Everything





















This dress was made for my style tastes AND my body.

High waist? Check!

Fashion forward floral? Check!

A-line mini skirt? Check!

Sleeves appropriate for winter cold? Check!

This dress is going into my electronic shopping cart in 3...2...1...

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Go On And Lace It Up












I don't like lace-up, knee length boots that have a giant stiletto-esque heel. I'm not sure about why I have this aversion, but I think, generally, the lace-up style belongs on a flat.

This knee-high lace-up boot manages to capture the lace-up trend with an appropriate sized heel. No aversions here! I also like the buckle at the top...adds a slightly fancier detail to make the boots more dress appropriate.

Price: $119.98 (originally $170.00)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - Thakoon





















Let's drool over this blue Thakoon mini.

The water-colored inspired pattern and high-waisted consutrction make this the perfect dress for a high-end event where you can be a bit more edgy. The only one that comes to mind right now is the Grammy's, but I'm sure you get my drift.
