Never Buy Full Price

okay, so unless you have a million dollar trust fund, or are just filthy rich, don't waste your time in the brand name stores, or even in Macy's!

instead, head over to my new world; Loehmann's, Century 21, and the like. the clothes are mostly brand name, and if you put effort into it, you can find amazing gems. i went today and came away with a little black dress for summer from a crap "brand" name, but it looks and feels good, three flats from Wanted, Seychelles and Anne Klein, and sunglasses from Jessica Simpson that make me feel like a star. if they were in my size, i would've snapped up a pair of Coach flats for $100, and a Juicy Couture gorgeous white skirt.

there are so many beautiful things that there must be a drawback, and sadly there is. you're not the only reccesionista who's figured out the formula to looking good and not spending a fortune. others are there too, and they can snap up your treasure faster than you can say "Miu Miu"! there can be a shortage of yummy clothes/shoes in your size, so try to get there early and work fast. but be courteous and please, don't attack the salespeople.

P.S. if you find a Sharif wallet for $15 and buy it, know that i envy you with all the fiber in my being.

xoxo, blondie.

Library Fines.

[ i keep apologizing, but honestly, this is summer, and there is no excuse for me not posting multiple entries every single day, now is there? i'm just so very sorry, and i promise to make it
up to you [; ]

i am in a depression right now. i owe my local library $24.89!!! all i can think is, aerie bra, two on sale AE tops, three almay foundations; it goes on and on and on. WHY? ughh.

so inspired by my own pain, i am reminding you beauties not to waste hard-earned cash [sob] on things like library fines. try never to get into debt, no matter how glamorous Carrie Bradshaw makes it look. for library books though, it's a simple rule; renew every visit, and every week online.

i'm still crying, which is undoubtedly making my face all red and puffy. ewwwww.

if someone licked my face right now, it'd be really salty. [where did that thought come from?]

the dailies =]

so so soooo sorry lovelies that i didn't post anything yesterday. what can i say, it just, slipped my mind. but i loooooooooove you don't ever forget, okay?

daily to-know.

don't you hate it when a website or blog goes un-updated for days or weeks? isn't it soooo boring? i know i've been doing the same thing, but no longer. now i'll have things for you everyday, things you should know, things to check out, and just facts in general.

• if you read a magazine, never forget that it ALWAYS has a website. and that website usually has more information, stories, and often giveaways. && if you like a magazine, subscribe, don't buy issue by issue. it's way cheaper, and there are always perks.
• American Eagle Outfitters is having a great sale, on most of the things they have in stock. check it out at your local store or americaneagleoutfitters.com
• i'm probably a little behind, considering it happened yesterday? but little Taylor Momsen has signed with IMG. Blake Lively may be Gossip Girl's sun, Leighton Meester the ruling queen, but Taylor Momsen is its rising star.
• the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee has some of the cutest kitties in the world; keep up with their lives too for an interesting story.

Pretty Little Liars, by Sara Shepard.
listen, girls, this is one twisted and amazing read. you're thrust into the world of four, [ or five[; ] preppy, rich suburban girls; but in Rosewood, nothing is what it seems. Aria, Hana, Spencer and Emily used to have a best friend named Ali; and then one day, she dissapeared. After that, their whole group drifted apart. When all four of them are once again together at Rosewood, and seemingly happy, A appears. A knows things about them only Ali knew; things they don't want others to know. But Ali's supposed to be dead...
