Recessionista Fashionista

From Barney's to Mandees, from riches to rags, lool! I am the "recessionita fashionista" LOL! Can't shop like I used to at Bergdorfs and Saks but I will not fret! Went to the mall with baby today and wasn't planning on buying anything but I came across this cute Aldo leather, fringed/studded bag on sale and I just had to have it for the price of $35. Figured it'd make a cool diaper bag which I've been in need of. Next, got those Balmain rhinestone heels from Zigi Soho. They are the best knock offs I've seen made and for $60! I know the trend is probably passe now, but they looked so good in person, not the most comfy though. And lastly, a Charlotte Russe pleather jacket for $60. This was another fake that I thought was done well! What do you guys think of these low-end pieces?

  3. Seriously, I think mall shopping is under-rated. You can find the best shit there, and without spending an arm and a leg. And just think, there's no way you could have gotten half as lucky at a boutique. That (p)leather jacket is H-O-T. Reminds me of Balenciaga.

  5. I'm all for the low end honey! As long as it looks good - why not? So funny that you mentioned Mandee, that was my high school job - I would spend my entire paycheck on the merchandise there everytime I got paid lol - I basically worked to shop there
