How to get Vineyard Vines for $5

Did you know that you can basically get a vineyard vines shirt for only $5 ?!?!?!!? Keep on reading to find out how..

$5 , But HOW?!

1. First method to getting cheap vineyard vines tees

Shop at the outlet stores if you have one near you.... I personally do not so I can only go when I travel somewhere that does.

2. Shop the kids section

If you are normally a ladies size XS-Med , the little boys sizes will fit you just as good as the women's. If you're XS or Small, boys Large will fit you great! If you are comfortable size Med, boys XL will fit you!!  And you can save about $20-30 when shopping in the boys sections so pretty much 2 shirts for the price of 1 !! 

If you are embarrassed shopping in the boys section, don't be! I've asked the workers and they said that people do it all the time!  Or, you could just pretend like you have children and you're shopping for them . . . . I sometimes use the excuse that I have 2 little brothers but they're only 3 and 4 so they wouldn't fit a size Large quite yet (no one needs to know). If  you are still not cool with shopping in the boys section, just do it online! Only thing is that you wont get free shipping unless you spend $125 or you luck out on a deal!

Designer Fashion Dupes

So, I am in college, as you may have known... that means ya gotta save money when you can. I personally still like to be fabulous at the same time!  Now you get to learn just a few of my secrets for getting the best designer dupes possible.

1. Louis Bags

Good ones are hard to come by most of the time! You need to brush up your knowledge by watching authenticity videos and trying to find the dupe that falls more on the authentic end of the LV spectrum. I personally have a few that I got from my old job (goodwill, lets not talk about that experience ever again) they are top of the line dupes, and I just so happen to have 2 for sale on Poshmark, comment you read this on my blog for 10% off if you want anything from my closet. But anyway, keep your eyes out in thrift stores and on poshmark, they always have a hidden gem somewhere!

2. Cartier Love Bracelets 

I got mine from the app called Wish, you basically order it from china and have to wait a month for it to come in. Its super cheap too! To find things on the app, you have to search for unusual things. To get these bracelets search "screw bracelet" or "love bracelet". They are like $2 each and its pretty cool

3. Chanel, Hermes, Prada Accessories

Get the app Aliexpress, it is not a scam!  Again, a China based company app thing but they have some fun stuff.  Got my Chanel earrings ( type " cc designer earrings" to find), Hermes belt (type "hbrand belt",  and my Prada inspired sunglasses (type "designer swirl glasses") all from this app. I have also ordered many other things but they were just for fun, not any fashionable stuff.  The reason you have to type in weird things on these apps is because they regulate the designer names so if something says Chanel or Louis Vuitton, it will be blocked so you cant see it. I would post the links to the things I got but, once they sell out, they no longer exist on the link.

4. Keep your Research Up

Most "hipster" stores will copy the styles of high fashion brands. For example,  forever 21 has tons of fashion dupes, just gotta keep your eye out on the designers website versus the affordable stores.

5. Make it yourself

Just see my DIY Chanel top  or DIY fringe jeans to get your inspiration. Pinterest is also a great way to find high fashion designer outfits and copy them for a reasonable price.

Hope this helps!!

DIY Lilly Pulitzer Sorority Letters

I like to think of myself as a DIY money saving queen sometimes. I always see lilly letters for sale buy heck no to paying $40 for a t-shirt.. I only paid about $0.60 for this. I already had a plain white T-shirt(if you dont click here, $4 shirt)  So this project costs less than $5 and theoretically you save over $35.  I did this the exact same way that I did my DIY Chanel top. SO, click the this to follow those directions and end up with this result! I will attach the document that I used to print the letters so you know they'll turn out correct.

(follow the DIY Chanel process)

Hope this works out for you too!!

Blush & Gingham

Hi everyone! Had a big speech this week in class, of course I had to dress up a bit! I wore these super comfy gingham dress pants and a blush  bell sleeve top.  Its perfect for school, a presentation (of course) or just an everyday outfit!!  These are made of a lightweight material so, perfect for summer!

Hope you enjoyed this little photoshoot!

DIY Tassel Earrings

Super easy, super cute, super cheap!

What you'll need:

-whatever color you want embroidery thread

-2 extra 5 inch pieces of that thread 

-pair of stud earrings(ones you don't wear anymore)

-scissors

Total cost for materials per pair: $1

To do:

- cut the embroidery thread pack directly in half  

-take one strand of the thread and securely tie it around/in your earring. You may need super glue to make sure it won't slip

-tie the string that is already attached to the earring through the center of one of the halved chunks of embroidery thread...Be sure to leave a little length in between the earring and the halved chunk so that the tassel will dangle. 

-then simply take one of the extra 5 inch pieces and tie it around the halved chunk so that it looks like a tassel, make sure that this is tight and knot the end of it twice...make sure that the knot faces the back of the earring 

- do for the other earring and you have completed the DIY tassel earrings
