Back from a shopping trip...

Hey there,

I got an idea today to start a fashion blog for fun, and because I am constantly getting comments and compliments about my style, and questions about where I get things, and my uncanny knack at finding insanely good deals. So I'm just going to be blogging about my favorite fashion trends, posting pictures of outfits, and jewelry (which is my obsession these days), giving hints about finding deals (because if your like me, a university student - you can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars keeping up with trends, and you don't have too), and posting make-up tutorials, for all the people who are asking me how I do my makeup.

Your welcome to comment on here if you have questions, and I'm always happy to share where I get good deals. As I mentioned above, unless you've got a thing for designer everything, there is no reason you have to spend a lot of money to look good. Recently, I bought a shirt on sale for nine dollars, and one of my floormates mentioned that she had one similar that she had gotten at American Apparel. When we compared them they were extremely similar, but hers cost $65 dollars. So, theres a clue as to how I can find a good deal. And I'm going to share my deals with you. Unless you have a designer clothes fetish, there is no reason you need to spend a lot of money to look good, and be on trend. Trust me.

So, for my first little post - I'm going to share my jewelry storing solution for in a dorm room. Basically, I bought these $6 picture boards from walmarty, and I hang my earrings off of it, and my necklaces. If my earrings are not dangly, I keep them on the plastic/paper backing that they come on, but spray paint or paint the backing black. And then, for bracelets and funky rings, I have a silver bowl that I keep on my windowsill, which looks really chic.

 

The cool thing is, it becomes like a piece of art - not just a storage solution. Its nice to show off your pieces.

 

If you look closely, you'll also notice that I use pushpins to keep my necklaces up. I used purple diamonds, but you can pick a pushpin thats your style.

 

 

More to come !
