Great Fashion finds

Since we are now past the holidays, you would think that all the great sales would be ca put, and our hunt for recession-proof fashion deals would be sadly lacking. Wrong. TJMFNZJX6JEN

Right now, YESSTYLE is having a HUGE sale, so if you haven't checked it out, you definitely need to head over there asap. While YESTYLE (which is yesstyle.com), can be intimidating since the website is based out of China, don't let that deter you. Yeah, it is going to take a little bit longer for you to receive your order, but New Years has past, so it's not like you NEED that party outfit right away. Believe me, it will look just as cute next weekend as it would this weekend :) And if you spend $150, they ship you your order free! Yippee!

The one thing that I HATE about shopping online is paying shipping.. I honestly think it should always be free. Anyway....

In case you aren't familiar with the site, or the general style they feature:

The long sleeve "Love You Only" is only $36.00. The prices on this site are awesome and the style is unique, very urban; you definitely won't be caught looking like everyone else. Not everything is so ridiculously affordable, so you do have to do a little browsing, but they have so many interesting designs- I'm sure that won't be a problem.

And for more of your weekend party look:

How cute is that Skirt? Seriously, it's freaking adorable... and it's only $40! Okay yes, I realize it's winter, but throw on some tights and tough it out.



Onto my next order of business- Makeup. It's really a love/hate relationship with me. While shopping for makeup I get all 'kid in a candy store'- then I get home.. and ugh. The Eye Shadow that looks super bright is really lacking in the pigment department, or the lipstick that I was really excited about seems to want to stain every part of my face- but my lips. Even "drugstore makeup brands" are decently expensive and usually there are like four aisles dedicated to making you pretty. Which are really fun to look at and really frustrating when it comes to actually finding good products. Thank God for Sephora.

You are probably thinking, are you crazy- you think that huge store with a million different products is easier to navigate?! And are you trying to bankrupt me here.. I thought this was a blog dedicated to SALES!?! Well, the answer is- of course I don't find the store easy to navigate and yes, I want you to keep as much money as possible in that cute wallet of yours. That's why I shop at Sephora.com. First of all the Sephora brand is very fairly priced... and secondly, they are having a big sale right now! And if you spend $50, which is very easy to do, you get free shipping!

But what I really love about the website is that its so easy to navigate. It is broken up by category, and from there you can further break it up by brand, and even list the products from the lowest price to the highest. and it's biggest selling point- the REVIEWS. Seriously, these are key. Tons of wonderful makeup mavens have taken the time to even write short reviews on the products- so you'll know that the lip plumper you want really tingles and plumps and the eye shadow packs a punch- of color. This always helps me find the product I am really looking for, and even if I have to pay a few extra dollars, I know I am saving by not having to shell out cash for 5 different products until I find one that works for me.

Until next time, happy sale scouring you, fashion-ista!
