Fab Deals of the Day: Overstock.com

JFW Paisley Maxi Dress- $45.99
Izod Leather Cycle Jacket- $159.99
Donna Ricco Silk Dress- $58.99
Hype "Jordan" Vintage Crossbody Flap Handbag- $97.99

I checked out Overstock.com to see what their selection was like . I had visited the site in the past but never found anything that struck my fancy. Today I had a different experience however. I was able to find several items which I would actually purchase, including a Donna Ricco dress for less than $100, quite a steal. I love leather jackets especially the motorcycle styles so the Izod jacket pictured above is a must have for me. I almost can't wait for fall to get into this jacket. The plus size selection could be better but, in the end I would say Overstock.com is worth at least a quick virtual browse.

FAF Chic: Fab Finds

I came across this great website via one of my twitter friends @TheFatApple called Smashing Darling. This site is dedicated to Indie fashion items. Similar to Etsy there are custom created items available for sale. I stumbled upon A Quirk of Art: Mixed Media Jewelry by Beth Taylor and fell in love. I have always liked charm bracelets so her designs are right up my alley. I also like that her jewelry is made from recycled and found items, which is so eco chic. You can check out more of Beth's designs here.

Party Girl Weekend

It's summer time, the weather has been great and a girl has been in need of a good party. Going out for me is a task, because there is no way I will leave the house without an outfit that is comfortable and makes me feel sexy. I'm single and still in my 20's, so looking my age and staying vibrant is important to me.

This weekend I was in need of some serious girl time. So I was ready to pack my bags and get a way for a weekend of fun. I found some great items to pack in my getaway bag over on Casual-Plus.com. They have a nice selection of inexpensive dresses and tops that are perfect for a weekend trip. My favorite items are pictured above. I especially love the zebra print mini-skirt. The possibilities in my mind for this skirt are endless. Oh fashion how I love thee!

Hot or Not: Shoe Edition

Mod Cloth- Unicorn Princess Heel


I haven't done a Hot or Not post in a while so I thought I would bring this feature back with a bang. Edgy and unique is the current preferred trend of the moment. Do these shoes meet or miss the mark?

My two cents on this design is that it's unique for sure, but I can so see this shoe paired up with a cute party dress. So my vote is Hot!

 Is this shoe Hot or Not?

  Not my style

Premiere: The Beth Ditto Collection for Evans

After a lot of anticipation and waiting with baited breath the Beth Ditto collection is finally available for purchase online at Evans.

A few pieces that caught my eye are the acid washed denim pencil skirt and the black biker jacket, these two items are sitting in my virtual shopping cart as we speak. I am also considering the geo sequin prom dress something about it is calling to me. I can see my entire pay check being spent as we speak. Evans has some great items on their site and shopping with them can get a girl in trouble.

Independence Day!

I hope everybody had an enjoyable fourth of July holiday. It was a crazy time for me. I had the opportunity to do a lot of self reflection during my time away from work.I went downtown to watch the fireworks and had a good time with friends. I am feeling rejuvenated and ready for the rest of the summer. Hope everyone had a great time, ate great food, and enjoyed their time with friends and family.

FAF Chic Web Crawl : Folksy.com

Photo(c)- Folksy: ClaraBows

Random internet searches can be so rewarding, especially during times when I lack inspiration. Today, I had an interest in fashion history so I randomly Googled fashion icons, and fashion from past eras. I became fixated on the grandeur of 1920's head wear. I came across a site called Folksy and a seller by the name of ClaraBows who sells vintage 1920's inspired hats. Folksy is similar to Etsy and there are some pretty cool items to be found for sale. Check them out, they are overseas but still worth a look.
