Back-to-School Styles ~ Must Have Shoes

Hello my beauties! Welcome back to another week of Style Sunday! Today, we're embracing the oh-so dreaded back to school season, but cut aside the binder and lockers, we want to look fabulous first!

Back to school shopping is one of my favorite seasons because there are endless excuses to get more! The sales, the new collections... A shopaholic's fantasy!

Back-to-School Must Have Shoes

Guide to Bargain Shopping

Hey girls! We're back in the swing of things now that the giveaway is over--a special congratulations to Hanna Lee!

As you all know, from the title of our blog, we love bargain shopping! There are a few tips to keep in mind when you're hunting for deals, and even though they're well known, I want to tell you my personal experience!

1. Know how often you shop! If you shop once a month, or once a week, it's always good to know how often you shop! If you get to the point where you can't keep track of which stores you went to, you know you're shopping to much! 
2. Limit yourself! I set my limit to no more than 5 pieces per store. If it's shoes, clothing, or decorations for my room, I don't buy more than 5 at any store because I know I won't get good use out of them!
3. Don't shop just to shop! You should go into a store looking for what you want, and with a budget! Going into stores like Target, Wal-Mart, Marshall's, or TJMaxx is dangerous because you can find so many things you want, but don't need!
4. There's no such thing as out of season! Just because a tag at Marshall's or TJMaxx says it's out of season, it doesn't mean it isn't fashionable! The color might be discontinued, or the collection might be last season's but it's still the same style and cut!
5. Always shop the sale section! I don't frequently go to the mall, but when I do, I always shop the sale section at JCrew, Urban Outfitters etc. The prices can be comparable to Forever 21 and they're still just as cute! Even in discount stores or less expensive ones, shopping the sales will get you the best deals!
6. Outlets are your friends! Even though most outlets are out in the middle of nowhere, it's definitely worth it to plan a few trips a year! I've tried going to the outlets at all times of the year, but it's only worth the gas money if it's the outlet price with an additional sale! I've found the best times are the Fourth of July, Black Friday, and the week between Christmas and New Year's.
7. Stock up on basics! Don't wait until your basics have holes in them or are falling apart! Buy quality basic pieces on sale! They'll be a fraction of the price and you'll always have them handy! You're never going to have to go searching for a white v-neck or black leggings again!
8. DIY the trends! Channel your crafty side and learn how to sew! Hemming a shirt is as easy as it looks, it's much more convenient to buy a shirt from Forever 21 and hem it than go to Nordstrom. The new army candy trend is also perfect! Beading and braiding is super fashionable!
9. Find dupes! Stores like Forever 21 have copycats and dupes weeks after the originals come out! There are usually more colors and the material isn't bad! Don't fall into the brand-name warp hole! Eyeshadow colors and eyeliners have dupes all over the place! And brushes come from every brand at the drugstore! 
10. Pay for the quality! Things like leather goods (belts, bags, shoes) and high quality cotton and cashmere can't be duped! However, you can find high quality belts, shoes and boots, and sweaters at the outlets, TJMaxx, Marshall's and Nordstrom Rack. I have leather belts for 7 dollars, a pair of Uggs for 30 dollars and a leather Valentino bag for 35 dollars!

StyleSunday- Bustier Tops

Hello my lovelies! Welcome back to another issue of Style Sunday! With the hottest month right around the corner, it's the perfect time to put together some airy summer outfits! One of my favorite new trends is the bustier top and bandeaus! You can incorporate them with the new trends: neons, color blocking and mixing prints! They're stylish and flattering, and definitely wearable!

I will be styling this strawberry printed bustier top from H&M in 3 different outfits!

Let's get started!

WorkoutWednesday~ Summer Outfits

Hello girls! Welcome back to Workout Wednesday! I have a styling post for you, but instead of the usual fashion inspired outfits, I'm doing workout outfits! I know most people might not think of it this way, but there has to be so much versatility when wearing clothes to work out, because there are infinitely many ways and places to work out! Summer's been flying by, and I cam making it my goal to workout everyday!

1. This is for the girl who prefers the cold and loves adventures! I've spent a good amount of time at the lake this summer, and it gets really windy during the day, and the temperature changes and surreal! You're freezing 1 minute and sweating the next!  A long sleeved shirt and leggings are perfect! This is my go-to outfit for kayaking in the lake, so I don't get swet, or to run at night, or to even hike in the woods! No bugs will be bite through all these layers! And if it gets too hot, a sports bra and leggings are classic and adorbs!

Sports Bra- Target

Shirt- Forever 21

Leggings- Forever 21

Haul~ Target and Rite Aid

Hello girlies! Summer's going by way too fast! Do you agree? I'm trying to do everything on m bucket list! How's your summer bucket list? Comment below if you want a summer bucket list post! 

As you might've seen from Kaylie's recent haul, there was an amazing deal on NYC at Rite Aid this week, so I picked up some products, and I also stopped by Target! I always try new products when they're 40% off at Rite Aid because I don't feel so guilty about picking up multiple products, plus, if worse comes to worst, Rite Aid allows returns of used products. P.S. Kaylie has a lot of this stuff, I'm trying it out.

Target

First, from Target I picked up the ELF powder brush!! I've used Kaylie's before and I knew immediately that I was going to get it!! It's one of those must have products!

Tag Tuesday~ $50 Outfit Challenge- Graphic Tees

Welcome back girlies! I'm sorry I've been gone for a while but we have had some huge plans for you guys! Stay tuned for contests, giveaways and some new series we're starting! P.S. Don't forget to enter our giveaway!

We're starting to do more and more tags and I've come up with this one! A spinoff off the $20 dollar makeup challenge, but with clothes! I believe I'm the first person to do this tag so the guidelines are:

1. Clothing and accessories (jewelry, belts, handbags, shoes etc.) must all be under $50.00. You do not have to have accessories. Just an outfit you would wear!
2. You do not have to use full priced items. They can be bought on sale or at discount store

Everything else is free for you to choose! The theme, the purpose (Where are you going in this outfit? Is it going to be multipurpose?)

Today, I'm going to do an outfit that it perfect for a day out with your friends. It's super casual and very daring!

Keep reading for the breakdown!
