Weekend Finds: Dupe for Designer?

Like always I'm always perusing my Favorites stores looking for great buys and deals.  Many times I walk out with nothing, but I know that usually I'll see a good deal that is worth sharing with others or keep in mind for a later time.

Who doesn't like Designer items? I sure do but many times I can't afford them, so I look for affordable items that could pass for a designer item just not with the designer label. So again at Marshalls I happen to notice a few pairs of shoes with crazy designs and made me think twice about.

Dupe for Designer?

Madden Girl of Steve Madden

Reminds me of 

Missoni

At just around $30, you can get a designer pair of shoes from Steve Madden that could pass for an even more expensive designer brand Missoni.  The similar patterns and designs are pretty similiar with their own styles.  The shoes I found are definitely an awesome deal for those who are looking for Designer Dupes.

Any good Dupes to share?

So close to 500 followers! Giveaway coming soon I hope

Ready for Valentines = The Perfect Kiss!

February is the shortest month however its filled with lots of Love, Flowers, Reds, Pinks, and Hearts!

Getting ready for Valentine's Day is a month in itself.  From choosing the right outfit for dinner, to the ideal shoes, and perfect makeup, all has to be planned ahead for perfection.  I'm, however isn't so perfect at perfecting any of those items.  Leave it to me to wait until the last minute to get ready and figure out what do to with myself.

So instead of being like me, here are some awesome choices that may help you out for Valentine's Day and those kisses!

Lip Kisses:

Red Lips by sbeautifulblog featuring Illustrated People tops

I love that there are soo many different shades that a girl can wear for their lips. Even if Red is the favorite color of this month, there are plenty of different shades of red to choose from. The color Pink is definitely not out of the question here.  Anything pink and nude is awesome for the lips as well.  The range of color available for lips are amazing which may be kind of hard to choose from.  Not sure what I'll be wearing but I do have a few in mind.

What will the color of your Kisses Be?

*Metro Chic* Sephora by O.P.I

In my last Sephora Haul, I ordered the ever popular Metro Chic nail polish from Sephora by OPI.  I know a few friends who absolutly adore this nail polish and its color.  I don't have many dark colored nail polishes so this was a new color to my stash.

*Metro Chic* Sephora by OPI

On the nails:

This is definitely a dark nail polish. I thought it would be more taupe and lighter in color, but it was pretty dark.  However, I like the color.  I'm starting to love darker colors, I just have to find the right ones to work with.  Metro Chic had good nail polish texture, wasn't too runny or too thick. It did take me 2-3 coats to get a even color which probably made the color a bit darker after a few layers.  For me its not a WOW color, but it works and definitely see why many people like it.  Its more of a neutral dark color which I see can work for many people.

Overall I like the color.  The price is average with other higher end brands just like OPI. I do have other Sephora by OPI colors and this one works just as well.  No regrets so far!

Metro Chic can be bought at any Sephora or online.

Are you Metro CHIC?

How Cute is This! *Scotch Dispenser*

So I was browsing my phone the other day in ShopKicks and found this ad. 

I thought it was the Cutest and Coolest thing ever!  

 (via my iphone)

Online Picture

Who would have thought to create something like this?  A Shoe Scotch Tape Dispenser and not only that its a shoe, its a Stiletto Shoe.  Its amazing how people can be so created. I can definitely see this on any fashionista's desk.  I have yet to see it at the store, but I may want to check that out soon!

It would be super Crazy if it came in like pink leopard color, neon colors, animal prints, etc.  That would be Awesome!  Plus for $8.99 that's a pretty good value!  I'm guessing Office Depot carries this, but I could be wrong, its best to look around and see if your office supplies stores carry them. I looked online to find some and Office Max also carries them as well.

Would you buy something like this?
