Jeffrey Campbell's for $15!

My deal for the Fall season--

Ibiza Last Jeffrey Campbell booties with fringe for $15.00 compared to $175+

Mmm..deals.

I was watching out for these at TJ Maxx for a few months starting at their maxxinista price of $99.99.
Once they became on clearance they went down to $79 and it was a slow and steady race until the TJ MAXX END OF SEASON SALE WITH YELLOW TAGS brought it down to $15!

YELLOW TAGS, YELLOW TAGS! BEST THING OVER AT TJ MAXX AND MARSHALLS!

Sorry for the caps, I'm a bit excited.

At this yellow tag event I purchased a few items but decided to showcase just my most favorite and best deal I purchased at this yellow tag event.

Note that yellow tags also mean final clearance sale and are non-returnable. But at $15 for Jeffrey Campbell's why would anyone return them?

Super cute for the Fall season. Pair it with skinny jeans and you're good to go. I love the braided tassels on the sides for a fun detail. They color of the boots are very neutral and can go with many of my fall outfits.

My Fall 2012

What Elle suggests you should be wearing this Fall 2012 down below.
Unless you live a life of high fashion and don't need to go to a normal working job then I still wouldn't suggest any of these trends.

My two polyvore collages above display what I will be wearing this Fall and in my opinion some trends to look out for this coming Fall 2012 (for normal people with normal careers and normal lives).

Trends I plan on wearing this Fall!

• The colored jean will continue, especially the Fall colors of auburn, dark reds, hunter green, or simply just gray
•  Lace, lace, lace! Lace has been a big trend this past Spring and Summer and I think you will still be able to bring out those lace tops and dresses this Fall! Just pair your lace tops with blazers and your lace dresses with tights underneath :)
• Boots galore! Booties too! I would love to wear boots with heels or those booties above... if I could without my feet dying! Boots are always in style every Fall, you can't go wrong with it. I recently went to a Goodwill and saw so many pairs of boots for $7.99 in great condition-- none in my size though =/
• Pleated pants/jeans-- they're a little preppy looking but I think it fits for the whole "I'm so Fall and...pleated" look.
• Textured tops! With the summer almost over (No not really but I had to say that to get you into Fall mode) you can start wearing your heavier weight tops (crochet, thicker textured fabrics, etc.). Those tops that were way too heavy and annoyingly would stick to your skin in (this) hot weather!
• Oxford shoes are always a winner-- pair them with dresses, pair them with pants! You can't lose!

What will you be wearing this coming Fall season?

Actually... I wore this dress in Geneva but I did buy it in Paris :). My version of a pink/white summer dress during a summer day in Paris (I mean... Geneva).

I bought the brown oxfords but it was just too hot for me to be wearing shoes, I need my feet to breathe! I wore my brown strappy sandals (featured in my last post) almost every day in Europe-- super comfortable!

I am showcasing one main dress I thought was so Paris appropriate in the summer. As well as my other fab finds during my trip in Europe. I just got back and already packing for my mini vacay after a vacation! (See you soon Vegas!)


Item 1-- Pink/White patterned high-low/mullet dress with brown braided belt
From: Promod (lovely store in France and there's a chain of them throughout Europe as well)
Type of sale: Sale (aka Soldes in french)
Original price: 39,95 euro (ah, I don't know where the euro symbol is!)
Purchased price: 15,50 euro (A little under $20 US)

Item 2-- Brown suede oxfords
From: Sorry, never got the name of this store :(
Type of sale: Sale (Soldes)
Original price: 19,95 euro
Purchased price: 5,95 euro (A little under $7.50 US)

My other fab finds in Europe:

Only maybe 1/3 of what I bought in Europe is posted on this entry... I went a little nuts in Europe and bought too many items to be posted on here.

Awesome heels that will most likely hurt my feet but I don't care because they're so pretty!

Ok so maybe I will care that they will hurt my feet but I'll make sure I'm going somewhere with more sitting and less standing! As posted on my Instagram.

Item 3-- Pompennette heels

From: Andre (Chain of shoe stores out in France)

Type of sale: Soldes!!!

Original price: 89 euros

Purchased price: 10 euros (About $12.25 US)

Since it's originally from Europe, H&M's were everywhere! Each H&M definitely had a different sale as the Paris store had my dress for 7 euros but in Rome it was 10 euros, definitely got the better bargain!

Item 4-- Blue floral patterned knee length dress
From: H&M
Type of sale: Soldes!!!
Original price: 49,90 euro
Purchased price: 7,00 euro (About $8.50 US)

Believe it or not but the random vendors on the streets of Rome had beautiful dresses. This lovely dress was just hanging on a hanger under a tent and I had to have it! As posted on my Instagram. The random boutiques also had great dresses and I even purchased a dress at 5 euros!!! (not pictured but I'll make sure to post it soon)

Item 5-- Navy blue sheer double layered dress with gold accents
From: Random vendor in Rome!
Type of sale: Bargaining at it's best!
Original price: 15 euros
Purchased price: 12,50 euros (About $15.35 US) and although 15 euros is a great price it's a vendor so why not bargain a couple of dollars off :D

Ah yes, Tory Burch my love! I went all the way to Rome and brought this baby home. So many items in this Tory Burch store were half off but I contained myself and only bought one purse. Oh and of course, tax free for purchases over 155 euros for US citizens-- oh yes! I sure did get almost $30 back at customs :). What's amazing is that if you search for the bag online it's still being sold at about $329 on sale.

Item 6-- Tory Burch Robinson Satchel in Oceanic
From: Tory Burch
Type of sale: 50% off selected items
Original price: 360,00 euro
Purchased price: 180,00 euro with 30,00 euro back at customs = 150,00 euro (About $185.00 US)

Side Note!

Express is currently having a deal where you can buy Men's 1MX shirt and get the second one at $19.90!

If worked out correctly with a coupon you can get an amazing deal. I've done it before and it's totally worth it to get those men's dress shirts at this sale + with a coupon.

For example:

Hopefully you receive Express coupons in the mail and if you don't I suggest you ask someone for theirs.

Buy a basic Men's 1MX shirt at $59.90. Patterns will usually cost $69.90.

When you buy a basic one at $59.90 and purchase a second basic 1MX at $19.90 you will be spending a little under $80.00 for 2 shirts. However, if you use your Express coupon that includes ($15 off of $30, $20 off of $60, and $30 off of $90) you will be receiving $30 off of your $80 purchase making your total about $50 which equals to $25.00 a shirt! More than half off the original for $59.90-- bam!

Now you can get your man a nice 1MX fitted shirt to show off that body of his. Or not? Classic button ups are just nice on a man too, no need to show off a body...unless you desire to :D 

This is such a funny photo of my mom shopping in Europe I have to end the entry with this!

Nothing gets me going more than a bargain. When I get a good deal it's the equivalent of going to the gym for gym buffs-- it gets the endorphins going! I guess that makes me a shopping buff then? When I'm feeling down I do retail therapy; not just retail therapy but extreme bargaining retail therapy. I instantly feel better after a big bargain find.

Mmm... bargain-designer deal-shopping.

Yum.

I've recently signed up on Polyvore.com and absolutely love it. I went on a search on how I could create collages without buying PaintShopPro/PhotoShop/other photo apps. I used to have a copy of PaintShopPro when I was in high school and it literally made up a good 2 years of my life creating designs and images for my, then, website. I forgot how much this used to be a hobby of mine and now I'm picking it up again 10 years later, although I'm super rusty at it.

Any way, I created this collage on Polyvore and put together this outfit that I am showcasing in this post... but of course at bargain prices!

The jean shorts and sunglasses purchased are the actual brands on the collage.

In the end... similar outfit but on a Tina.Deal.

I bought this top while I was in Vegas at the Forever 21 in the Fashion Show Mall. I was attracted to the stripes and the color combo. It's a great summer shirt-- light, sheer, and fun colored!

Item 1 -- Striped sheer cap sleeve button up
From: Forever 21
Type of sale: Forever 21 everyday
Original/Purchased price: $11.80

These boyfriend jean shorts are called the Jimmy's by Paige denim. They are super comfortable and fit perfectly. They hug me! I love these Paige denim shorts. I would buy more of them if they were ever on sale again but at under $10 I'm not sure if I'll ever find this deal again!


Item 2 -- Boyfriend jean shorts
From: Nordstrom Rack
Brand: Paige
Type of sale: Clearance
Original price: $139.00
Purchased price: $9.80

I would say that brown sandals are an essential in your wardrobe. Especially brown strappy ones! They can easily go with summer casual outfits from dresses to jean shorts. Rather than having multiple colors of sandals, brown ones tend to go well with many color combinations so you can save money and buy just the essential brown sandal to pair with many of your outfits if you're on a tight budget. If you're going to invest in brown sandals and want quality ones that aren't too pricey I would suggest the brand Report. I have always been a fan of Report footwear because they are comfortable and most importantly you don't have to break into them! Bonus! I got lucky and bought these for under $15 since they usually retail at about $40+. I've seen Reports at DSW at around $30 as well.

Item 3 -- Brown strappy sandals
From: Ross
Brand: Report
Type of sale: Ross everyday
Original price: Compared to $45.00
Purchased price: $13.99

Re-showcasing the fedora from last summer!


Item 4 -- Fedora
Re-cap it here!
$5.50

This item was actually a hand-me-down! I can't give any information since the belt was once owned by my sister and she did not want it anymore-- score! Any clothing/accessories/shoes I don't want anymore I always try to give it to family/friends. A free way to gain new items in your closet! They might be second hand items but they're new to you!

Item 5 -- Brown belt
Brand: Billabong
Purchased price: Free!

Now time for the accessories! Two great pieces at bargain prices. I didn't add the tote bag to the collage since it was just an addition to the outfit. I simply liked the cotton candy colored tote bag and that it was water resistant! I spilled water on the inside of it and it repelled! I was amazed yet I am usually easily amazed any way. You could wear any purse/handbag you please with this outfit... it's up to you! It was nice to have a canvas tote bag to bring to the pool. It holds the essentials you would bring along pool side and expands at the top with a pulling chord to tighten it. Also for more accessories add on some bracelets or fun earrings as you wish.

Item 6 -- Oversized sunglasses
From: Nordstrom Rack
Brand: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Type of sale: Nordstrom Rack everyday
Original price: $120.00
Purchased price: $34.95

Item 7 -- Canvas tote bag
From: Bloomingdale's
Brand: See by Chloe
Type of sale: Semi-Annual handbag sale
Original price: $95.00
Purchased price: $16.00

Lovely and Flowy for Spring!

Two outfits.  Spring themed.  Fun, cute, and flowy!
One outfit is more for a night out while the other is for a lunch date :)


Outfit 1: Tank, Skirt, and Necklace total cost = $23.00

Item 1-- Flowy printed skirt; short in the front and long in the back, weird way to put it would be a "Mullet Skirt" but much better looking than an actual mullet.

Brand: Bar III
Type of sale: Macy's one day sale (scan the bar code on the price tag for lower prices!)
Original price: $59.00
Purchased price: $35.40 with final price $13.00 (I used a 20% off coupon on top of a sale price and an additional 40% off sale price)

I wore a black spaghetti strap top you can get from any retail store.  Mine was from Ross for $4.99.

Pair it with a fun necklace with some color like this one!  Purchased for only $5.00 at a flea market from a local vendor.  I love the different shaped stones and wooden bird on the chain.  Play with different charms in a necklace to make one piece of jewelry really stand out.

I wore this outfit for 3 nights out (not in a row..of course...) but loved it so much for it's comfort I wore it to two Birthdays and just a night out too.

Outfit 2: Dress, Belt, Sandals, and a Clutch for under $35!

Hello, lunch date :)

I love pairing tan and coral, it's a great Spring combo.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers- 4pk for $2.50

These things are amazing and get almost anything wiped off of walls.
Dan uses these in his room/apt and man, this stuff cleans well ;D.

If you purchase these from Lowe's at their very low price, they have free in-store pickup.  

I've seen them for about double the price at other retail stores so hit up your local Lowe's and grab one of these for your cleaning needs.

Deal found on FatWallet.
