What I was looking for! FOR A CRAZY PRICE

____

Have been looking for a non-childish varsity jacket for forever... And I also wanted a blazer/jacket with color blocking sleeves...

Soooooo.... Forever 21 comes to the rescue!!!

Found this craziness online:

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE PRICE????
Had to get the cream/black too!

CUTENESS!!!!!!

After receiving them at home, I was pleasantly surprised that they look AWESOME, even better than the pictures!

The faux leather looks like the real thing and the jacket is really cute!

So happy, thanks Forever 21! AGAIN!

Shocking Pink is back - AGAIN!

_____

Just discovered that hot pink is the latest trend for winter... AGAIN. Well, those things come and go and come back.
I remember, back in the 80's that you absolutely HAD to have something in hot pink, or how we called in Brazil "Rosa Choque" or Shocking Pink!

I remember having a ton of hot pink outfits... Of course mixed with some other crazy 80's colors...

Oh well...

From The New York Times:

Take a look at the Equipment blouse (#6). This simple blouse costs more than 250 Euros... Hmmm a tad too much, non?

 I had to join in... But in a "Look for Less" way ;-)

Old Navy had this amazing offering...

And this madness was originally $29 bucks, theeeeen reduced to approximately 11 bucks !!!!!

The fabric is awesome, the fit great and I intend to use it with all the buttons closed and a necklace under the collar... Delish !


Craycray!!!!

Another Purchase... No Comments ;-)

____

Shopaholic acting again ;-)

Loved how basic this top is, at the same time offering some cute spike details...

Loving it!!!

USA is the BEST Place to SHOP!!!!

Just came back from Sao Paulo, Brazil...

Geez, prices are crazy there!!!

Almost did not buy anything... Everything almost double or triple the price from here...
Thing is, almost everything here in the US is made in China... Brazil has crazy importation taxes... Soooo...


Just to compensate the fact that I did not buy almost anything in Brazil... Went out during lunch aaand...

Can you believe the beauty of these snake boots at Joe Fresh? They were originally $79, but... Can you imagine that they went down to NINETEEN DOLLARS????
And they are leather!!!!!!

 I almost bought a skull scarf in Brazil... But it was expensive, around US$ 70...

Soooo, I did see another one at zara.com. Thing is, went to the store and... Voila... Bought a different one that I've originally wanted... But... SO CUTE. So Alexander McQueen!

Crazy bargains in the USA!!!!

Not soooo bad living here!!!

UPDATE!!!!!

Went to Joe Fresh AGAIN to snag a pair of those snake print booties and.... BOUGHT ANOTHER PAIR FOR ME. This time, classic black leather boots... Also for the exorbitant amount of NINETEEN BUCKS!!!!

 

I seriously don't know how they do it! But, please continue with your crazy prices, please!!!!!

Sao Paulo Shopping

__

It is crazy how expensive Sao Paulo, Brazil is becoming...

 One thing (or two) that I absolutely need to buy when I go down there are the famous Havaianas!!!

In fact, I did buy one with the famous skulls (and a skull little Swarovski detail) and another one with an animal pattern!!!

CUTEST!!!

Then I did find this beautiful dragon studded shirt for 80 Reais, or approximately 40 dollars...

Not bad, huh?

A CRAZY BARGAIN!!!!

____

I usually go to Ebay every day to see what is going on, love to browse through designer handbags, shoes, etc...

I avoid buying anything unless is a crazy steal...

Well, just happened to find a MAJOR steal, and better yet: the auction was ENDING!

Check this out:

 

Love the browns, love everything...

AND I did love the price: paid less than 60 bucks with shipping!!!!

Yay! Looks real to me! What do you think? Also can someone tell me the name of this bag? I do have a Stella that I've bought years ago and I've literally loved it to death. It is looking pretty beat up. Now Stella has a little sister!!!

Happy!

Gorgeous Statement Necklace!

______

While browsing on Urban Outfitter's website, I was struck by this piece of art:

 Literally art you can wear!

And the price was just RIGHT! Wink, wink to myself!

 In love with this...
Of course I got home, showed this to my husband and he cried: "Gladiator". Nice buzzkill, honey! LOL!

Cannot wait to wear it! Maybe with my new cobalt blue shirt! Yay!

Another Buffalo Exchange Find: Marc by Marc Jacobs Wool Swing Jacket

_____

Well, Buffalo Exchange is becoming a true addiction for the little Lulu shopaholic...

Since it is conveniently located at a spot which I pass every day after work, I do pop in almost every day there.
Most of the times I do pick a couple of things, but end up getting nothing...

This time I did see something that really caught my eye in the madness that is Buffalo Exchange...

I did still have some credit from a previous sale and saw that this little Marc by Marc Jacobs number was only $36 bucks!

Hmmm, the collar is awesome and so are the buttons. The only thing that made me a little unsure were the puffy sleeves. I really don't think that this style of sleeves is still in fashion. I did have a couple like this years ago. I did see that this jacket was from like 5 years ago online.

But....

So cute I could not pass it up... What do you think? I am still on the fence...

But hey, it was just $36...

Hmmmmm

Mad About Cobalt!

_____

Major fall trend!

Blue happens to be my favorite color, so...

Had to get at least one piece from this trend....

 From where you might think... Hmmm let's see!!!

Easy, non? Girl on a tight budget has to shop and shop wisely. And Forever21 doesn't disappoint! 

;-)

I intend to wear it with all the buttons closed, all the way to the top and with some funky necklace as a necktie, or just under the collar!

Yay!
