If you’ve been around since last summer, you may recall that I won this fabulous leather jacket through a giveaway on Instagram (check out Gracie’s Boutique!). Of course I was extremely excited, but I was even MORE excited to realize this jacket retails for more than $300… and I only had to pay the $7 to ship it. But guess what? The first day I wore it, my hair ripped out one of the studs on the shoulders. It just goes to show that more expensive does not always equal better. Which is what inspired today’s post—a round-up of items I would recommend splurging on, and a round-up of items I would never splurge on. Continue reading “To Splurge or To Save?”

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I did a poll on my Stories last week about whether or not you wanted to see a blog post about my thrift shopping finds… and the answer was an overwhelming yes! So today I’m very excited to finally be rounding up my thrifting purchases from last December. I explained on Stories that I had initially tried to do this post back in the beginning of January, right before I returned to school, but the photos didn’t turn out (and I wasn’t planning on bringing all of these items to campus). So now that I’m back home, I can finally share the goodies I got while thrift shopping over Christmas break. All of these items are from the Assistance League Thrift Shop in Las Vegas, which is a very well-kept store full of hidden treasures, and the money made at the thrift store is used to buy new clothes for school children in need. I highly recommend stopping by the store if you ever go to Las Vegas! I guess some of the bougie Vegas folk donate their high-end items to this store because I found some incredible deals.

With all the snow lately, I’ve got spring weather and spring break on my mind! I don’t think I have any plans for the break, but I’m so excited to just relax and not worry about any schoolwork after a long quarter. Until then, I’ll get my fill of spring by browsing sale items and spring clothing online. As you all probably know by now, Francesca’s is one of my favorite stores, but it can be pretty expensive. That’s why I almost always shop from the sale section (the floral dress in this photo was $5, for example!). So, without further ado, I’ve rounded up some cute rompers, tops, dresses, and accessories for you to shop in preparation for spring (and eventually summer). And the best part? All these items are $10 or less! Continue reading “Spring Break Sale Items at Francesca’s”
