Newest Thrift Haul

I listed this post under both Hacks and Fashion because I think thrifting is a way to hack for a good deal on items and I also got some cute things for my daughter to wear so... fashion! I love going thrifting and try to do so often. The thrill of hunting for treasure is so much fun and it totally pays off when you find something really good on the cheap.

This week I went to two local small thrift shops that I dont normally find a lot of treasure at but I still stop by occasionally because the prices are appropriately low, unlike at Goodwill. One was having a half off sale on everything. I scored pretty big this time. I recently broke the insert to my slow cooker which I use frequently. I was hoping to find another slow cooker while thrifting so that I could find a new insert for less than $20. I found a new slow cooker for $10. Perfect condition. Even better than the one I have! Its larger than mine so I won't be able to use the insert on mine but I dont mind having two of different sizes and at $10 I won't be sad if I just use this new one from now on.

I feel like I should excuse a couple of these images- I took them on my iPhone in low light so one is a bit blurry and two are sideways. But you'll get the point!

Oh the yummy things I will cook in you!

I have been looking for a salad spinner for a long time now and I finally found the perfect one for $1!

Spin salad spin!

And this cutting board! Exactly what I needed to replace my old one and only $1.50!

I have to clean it still but its in great condition!

Candles for $1.50 or less and one even has the accompanying Bath and Body Works candle holder included- those things aren't cheap.

And finally some of my favorite finds are these two dresses I found for my mini-me. One is a princess themed dress from the Disney store and the other is Osh Kosh Bgosh for kids. $3 each and $3 for the like-new Hello Kitty shoes.

I promise she'll wear it right side up! ;)

I need to break out the iron, I know!

We love Hello Kitty!

Thats the haul for this week! Pretty stoked!

Favorite Fashion Retailer List

A list of my favorite online places to shop!

The most stressful part of the holidays is over and I can finally sit down for a moment to reflect on this last years fashion awesomeness! I thought I would tell you about my favorite shopping websites for clothes and shoes.

Forever21

I shop from here the most for clothes- they are cheap and cute and trendy and I love their accessories!

Charlotte Russe

I mostly shop here for shoes, because they have an amazing selection and often have great shoes sales! I have ordered clothes a few times though and was very happy with what I got. Similar to F21, but more shoes selections.

Mod Cloth

I absolutely LOVE this store's selection of dresses and accessories! A little more spendy, but great
quality and lovely unique items!

Shoe Metro
Just what it sounds like- a lot of shoes!!!

Shoe Dazzle

I love all the shoe clubs but SD has by far the best customer service of any company I have ever shopped from. The shoes are the best in quality and style, in my opinion. Fun website and even more fun if you check out and like the Facebook page!

Just Fab

Not to be outdone by SD, JF is pretty awesome! The shoes are beautiful and this site and it's Facebook page are really fun as well. Not to mention the have very fast exchanges and an easy search function.

ShoeMint
Another monthly shoe club, this one a little higher end and more expensive. Super beautiful shoes, really high quality. I might not order as often but when I do its sooo worth it!

Sole Society
Another monthly shoe club, also higher quality and a tad more expensive. No skipping the month here though!

Papaya Clothing

Similar to F21 and CR, but not as good quality. I order from this site occasionally for dresses.

Deb Shops
Similar to Charlotte Russe, Forever21 and Papaya. Large selection for dresses and shoes, low prices.

Go Jane

Another cheap trendy shopping spot. I haven't ordered from here yet, as I just discovered it, but Im liking what I see!

Ami Clubwear

I only order shoes from this site. I have heard from friends that the clothes aren't very good quality and the customer service and returns are terrible. I had good luck with a recent shoe purchase, however.

Lulu's

A tad more expensive than F21 or CR, but along the same lines as far as fashion. I ordered my bridesmaid dresses from this site. Great quality! Love this site!

Piper Lime

I have not shopped here yet, but I have been checking out their site. I see good sale and some cute stuff to be had!

Karmaloop

I love this shop! I have ordered quite a few times from here and have always been very happy!

Pin Up Girl Clothing

SO CUTE! I like this site for the shoes. Great resource for those looking to dress retro!

Wet Seal

A cheap shop for cute trendy fashion. I order from here occasionally, but I'm not as into the style of their clothing.

Nordstrom

I'm sure you are all aware of this one, but it is worth mentioning how great the shoe selection is online!

Make Me Chic
Deals of the day, coupon codes and a huge variety make this great for shoe addicts!

UrbanOG
Another site with deals of the day, coupon codes, and a huge selection! Shoe addicts beware! Your credit card might explode from the heat!

6 PM .com
Great for sales shoes- this time you can grab some for that special man in your life too!

DSW
Kind of like 6PM, great for shoes sales!

Rickety Rack
Super cute dresses! Not a huge selection of shoes, but they have some very cute ones!

Shiekh Shoes
Oh Boy! You have hit the mother load! I have yet to see a selection as huge as theirs with sales as cheap as theirs! And when I went in store they had a BuyOneGetOneFree sale on boots! Customer service leaves MUCH to be desired, but I would order again after the bounty I scored last time!

Brunella Shoes
Not big on selection, but cute and great sales!

Karmaloop
A huge selection of designer shoes, clothes and accessories for much less! And they use coupon codes! Definitely browse this retailer! They will even hook you up in your own city!

Dr Jays
Great selection, reminds me of Karmaloop. They have coupon codes but disappointingly, they don't work with almost any of the shoes. Worth checking out however, for sure!

Shein
I love the dresses here. They carry unique style I dont find in any US retailer. Its over seas so the shipping does take longer but that has never bothered me. Be careful to read the size charts because the clothing tends to run small and return shipping is on you.

Shoedazzle Top Picks!

This entries top shoe picks is really easy! So many beautiful new shoes out right now at Shoedazzle that I could really make a very long wish list. Let me introduce you to my favorites:

Esperanza!

The heel detail on these are just beautiful and unique. Perfect party or date night shoe! They also come in black.

Elizabeth!

This gorgeous heel comes in a ton of different patterns so if snake print or gold aren't your thing maybe a solid color or a floral print is!

Such as this Elizabeth!

I am so over ombre hair but not ombre shoes! What a pretty pink!

Amandalyn!

Can you tell how much I love shiny shoes!? These are eye catchers for sure!

Galya!

Another gold colored stunner. These are strappy and would be a great sexy date night shoe!

Which ones will you be sporting in the new year?
