The Shoporexic's Relapse: Recession-Proof Your Closet! Pt. 2

You know what gets me higher than a kite & happier than leaving a store with a bag full of things I don't need?


Great deals! Not only do I get some bangin' new fits but more bang for my buck! That's a whole 'lot of banginess! Anyways, at the end of this post I'm gonna put a bunch of links to great websites that have shown me the best deals as of yet ! 

Fashion doesn't mean smashin' on your bank account, fashion is frugal my friends! Art is not in the paintbrush but the artist, it's all about improvisation and creativity if you ask me!

 HauteLook Purchase

I love the reverse waterfall effect! Short in the front and long in the back! & did I tell you how much I adore puffed sleeves? I know the front is somewhat simple and I like that but check out the back to this baby! How gorge is that!?

*random vanity* LOL!

BTW, the bronzer is AMAZEBALLS, no?

 

 I digress...

 

Add caption

These button remind me of old filipino lady button downs ;x But they still cute!

Cute detailing on the cuffs...

 

 I love the back!

THIS BLAZER WAS $5.99 USD!

I got these harem/trouser pants for a more curvy look. I'm a tiny girl and I don't have no rollercoaster curves so these pants are perfect for some additional shape!

these were also....$5.99!!!

So, you want to know how & where to find/get these things?

First of all, before any online shopping..refer to EBATES.

If you haven't already..SIGN UP SIGN UP SIGN UP & if you could, sign up using the link above!

It's cashback on all purchases bought on whatever stores they have listed & they pretty much have everything!

 Ok, now after you've done that..sign up for sample sale websites such as:

Beyond The Rack
(is an Ebates affiliated store, so even more savings!)

HauteLook

Rue La La

Also, check out discount clothes websites such as:

599fashion
(Everything is $5.99 with flat rate shipping of $6, while not everything is great on this website, if you sign up for their mailing list they email you as soon as they get new items and when they do have good items, they have great ones! So you gotta snag em up quickly before they sell out! The blazer and trouser pants were purchased from this site)

1015store

(Everything is $10 or $15! Great prices, more selection than 599 and better styling)

15dollarstore
(This site is obviously more expensive than the previous two but they have a lot of designer inspired wear for $15 !)

Tomorrow, I will be posting my lastest purchases/gifts on my latest designer bags ;)

& last but  NOT least...

HAPPY 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME & THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, MY FIANCE & MY BEST FRIEND.

Us back in the days & for the rest of my days

XOXO,

The Shoporexic's Relapse: Recession-Proof Your Closet!

Some of you may or may not know but for the past couple of weeks I've been SHOPOREXIC (depriving one's self of shopping) & have BINGE-SHOPPED as a result of this shoporexia.  2 weeks left, or maybe 1, I don't know. BUT I HAVE FAILED---utterly & completely. On a good note though, most of my purchases have been completely wallet friendly, practically a steal! I was going to just do one complete haul and put it out there but I'm going to break it down  into 4 sections: accessories. clothes, bags & make up. I KNOW, I know, a lot of shopping for something who's supposed to be shoporexic. I'M A SHOPOREXIC TURNED  SHOPAHOLIC!

The majority of all the accessories I'm about to show you are a $1!

When I first saw these, a rush of high school memories came flooding back & two things came to mind: SHARPIE EYEBROWS & BIG HOOPS EARRINGS! I'm down for the return of hoops but the sharpie will never get a come back on this face! And then it dawned on me, 3 hoops for a $1!? What! that's .33 cents an earring! Definite steal. & these weren't no flimsy aluminum feeling hoops either!

&  check out this Alexander McQueen Skull inspired ring !!!

VS

My new skull & hello kitty ring! $1

 

Mini TOPHAT! I saw this and fell in love! It's so friggen' ADORBS! This was a dollar as well!

 

 & $1 NERD glasses! 

All dollar items listed were purchased at my local Dollar Depot!

This was actually a gift but isn't cute as heck!?

& check this out.....

looks like your ordinary wristley/pochette...

OH..but what is this inside?...

It's a bird? It's a plane?....

No! My sillies, it's the greatest invention ever made! Totally pwns the snuggie IMHO.

It's Dr. Scholl's For Her Fast Flats!! 

Where have these things been all my life!? How many nights have I worn utterly gorgeous heels that have slaughtered my little piggies into blistery hell! I love how it's so compact and I can take it anywhere with me, ANYTIME! And the cute wristlet doesn't hurt either! I was able to snag this baby up for $5 at Walmart! I don't know how long these will be on sale for but their original price tag is $10! Still worth it to me! Go snag up a pair in the pharmacy section !

Every time there's a lack of money, it's ART that's the first to go! And by art I mean, art progams in school and art in our lives, nails, hair, clothes become the first to be CUT out of our budget! But cut no more & save galore! Stay tuned for my next post on my clothes purchase!

XOXO,

beauty is a flower, which wrinkles will devour...

Unless you have good genes & an even better plastic surgeon! JK!

(BTW, I am not FOR plastic surgery, I'm all for self happiness & contentment, do what makes you happy unless your happiness causes another's infliction)

This post is not about beauty, well maybe it is kinda but not in the way you think! It's about my latest hobby/obsession. I've been gardening like crazy lately, talk about old timer status! Aren't they gorge!?

'Till next time lovelies....

XOXO,

Misikko Hana Air Hairydryer & Update!

I received a package from John at misikko.com who sent me this lovely package! It was definitely love at first sight :)

If you've never been to the Misikko Website, you are definitely missing out. They have a wide variety of different hair straighteners/dryers & even the oh so popular CHI. 

 Definitely stuffed with lots of goodies :)

 YES! It's a stuffed monkey toy and it's holding a corioliss straightening comb!

 Some Paul Mitchell goodies

& last but not least the hairdryer with the concentrator & some Hana Shine Shield !

& the results...

ARE FANTASTIC!!! I love my hair <3

BTW, not to toot my horn..but imma toot it anyways! TOOT TOOT! but yea, the cut & color was done by me! I'll be posting a vid soon on how to do your own roots at home and save yourself a costly trip to the salon! 

watch the video to see the review/tutorial!

UPDATE:So where the heck have I been? Well I've been sick, for one. And two, well I've given up shopping for lent. If you don't know what lent is, it is a time for when Christians offer up sacrafice for 40 days to commemorate Jesus' suffering in the desert for 40 days! But unfortunately, it's definitely been a tough journey to not shop, can't say that I've been TOO good at keeping my lent! I will have more videos posted soon :)

Always XOXO,

Dollar Polishes & TokiDoki

Hola, just wanted to give you guys a quickie on a couple things I've bought. Probably going to do a review video on other things I bought. Thanks for reading & don't forget to follow me on twitter & youtube @conniechacha

Here, I bought 5 off brand nail polishes from a nail warehouse in L.A. called SkyLine Nails. The colors are true to what you see & the best part is.. everything in this pic was only $1!!!! Yes, even the piggy bank from the Dollar Tree was only $1. Didn't have to break the bank and all this stuff lasts just as long as any big brand.

For Valentine's Day, I decided to buy myself something & of course my boyfriend as well. It's always so hard to shop for a guy but since my boyfriend loves Marvel, I decided to buy him & myself TokiDoki skate decks. I bought him the limited edition Marvel Skate Deck2 ($68) and myself the Las Vegas ($60)deck. Since the factory is in Los Angeles, I received the package the next day! These are great decorative pieces for the house. ( www.tokidoki.it )

Take Care,
