New York City Shopping

New York City was amazing - I just wish I'd had more time (and money!) to spend there! We stayed in town for two nights and one day, and I got to spend that whole day shopping with my amazing boyfriend. I don't know how he puts up with my shopping, but he says he likes to see how excited I get when I try on things I like. Bless him!

We stayed in SoHo and shopped on Broadway. First, I went to one of my favorite stores ever - H & M. It was so crowded that it was uncomfortable to shop, and I left without buying anything. The next stop was an amazing sample sale I stumbled upon - Diesel, True Religion, J Brand, LaROCK, and so much more! All I bought was a black coat by Lola for only $60, but I could have spent hundreds!  

On the way back, we stopped at the Custo Barcelona store on Broome Street. I was hesitant to go in because I thought I would want everything and could afford nothing. Good thing I went in though, because everything was on sale! I could have bought more, but ended up just getting the Say Georgia dress for only $75! The dress is available at www.custo-barcelona-shop.com for $94.20, as well as many other great sale items. Custo Barcelona is one of my favorite brands. I love how they mix and match colors, patters, and textures in a very modern way without getting too far away from classic color schemes. I want more Custo!

I thought NYC would be more expensive shopping than online shopping, but apparently the recessionitis is raging there too. Right now is a great time to stock up on your favorite designer brands - if you have the steady paycheck to back it up!

Diva of the Day


Today's Diva in Denim is Beyonce - seen here in Rock and Republic cutoff jean shorts! And she cut them herself too! Doesn't she look great?

Deal of the Day

Today, I found a pair of Parasuco Denim Cult jeans at Goodwill! They are a black wash, faded to grey. They fit me great around the hips, but were a little too short, so I just turned them into denim cutoffs for summer! They look great, and I can't wait to wear them with a cute yellow top.

I have always been a fan of cutoff "jorts" in the summer time. They are so casual, and you can wear them with anything! A great idea is to first cut them into bermudas, then into 5" inseam, 3" inseam, even 1" if you dare! That way you can let them fray until you can't stand it, and then just cut it all off and reinvent your shorts. I am also a big fan of cuffing the raw seam up - its a good idea to leave an extra inch of length if you plan on doing this. 

Here in Charleston, I have no problem finding premium denim at thrift stores. Today alone, at one Goodwill, I saw Juicy Couture Denim, Blue Cult, Parasuco Denim Cult, and Paper Denim & Cloth. In the past, I have also seen Citizens for Humanity, 7 for all Mankind, Yanuk, Evisu, Guess, Calvin Klein, James Jeans, Salt Works, and many more! It is only a matter of having the patience of looking through all the jeans (they are usually not organized much at all). Another good place to look is on the rack of clothes by the fitting room! Remember - one woman's trash may be YOUR treasure!

Sale of the Day!

Check out the new sale section online at CoutureCandy.com! Tons of great deals on jeans and more! Happy Shopping!

Your Opinion On.... Destroyed Denim


So I just got my new pair of Diesel Lowkys in RD8 from SmashBoutique.com in the mail today, and I love love love them! I am very particular about my destroyed denim - I like the abrasions to look real and casual, not contrived or overdone. I also really don't like when companies combine the dirty and destroyed looks - brown rips are not attractive to me! But I do like rips with paint splatters. On the whole though - I love destroyed denim! What do you think?

The above jeans are the Hannah Cropped Skinny by Siwy, which will be available in March at ShopBop.com. I can't wait until these come out, I want them so bad!

Goodwill Goodies


Today's private sales are all a little expensive for me, so I think I will head to Goodwill. It is always a good idea to go on a Monday or Tuesday, because a lot of people send in donations on the weekends. This way, you will get a fresh assortment of stuff to look through, and less traffic in the store too! 

I have found some really amazing things at the Goodwills here in Charleston. My best find has been an authentic Chanel bag (small, black leather) for about $4. They did not realize it was real! I have also found a Juicy Couture leather purse for $4. Other finds include a Marc by Marc Jacobs tunic top, a Cynthia Steffe silk top, and a See by Chloe skirt - all with original tags on, and all for about $4 a piece! Its amazing what you can find when you take a good look! 

What are your best thrift store finds??

If you are interested in my See by Chloe skirt, it is Italian size 46, US size 10, and I am trying to sell it at Charleston.CraigsList.Org!

Runway Trend - Jumpsuits
















So what do you think about the Jumpsuits that have been all over runways and magazines? I did not like them last year, and this year they are a little better, but I still don't think I like them for me. Why wear a jumper when you can wear a dress? It just seems so much classier and more practical. What do you think? Love 'em or hate 'em?

Out of the above jumpers, my favorite is probably the black tank top with long legs. All of the above, and more, are available at shopbop.com.

Private Sales at Rue La La
