Miu Miu Sunglasses - Dupe

I fell in love with a pair of tortoise colored Miu Miu sunglasses this past week however, I did not fall in love with the price tag ($335). In my mind I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a pair of sunglasses which (knowing my luck) would probably end up scratched or damaged in just a short matter of time. Originally I liked the "Noir" style on Miu Miu and I didn't find any sunglasses like them while surfing the net, but I happened to find a dupe for the "Culte" style while at... Target! So without a second thought I bought these sunglasses for a mere $16.99 (you can also find these for under $10 on eBay), total WIN. As a side note... the arms of the Target sunglasses are gold colored, not sure why they look silver in the photo.

TJ Maxx Haul

Black Suede Buckled Peep Toe Pumps by Nine West $35

Black Sunglasses by Franco Sarto $10 (originally $20+)

Black Handbag by Franco Sarto $35

I've also seen this bag in the interior design pattern and tan color (at Macys for originally $89-70).

I did find it a bit interesting that I ended up picking out 2 items which were both by the same designer as I was just speed shopping through the departments as I had half an hour before going to work.

I def think the purse was worth it since it does come with a coin purse and umbrella and you can play with its zipper sides ;D

I've recently been trying to be more trendy/fashionable...err...I feel FAIL though, feedback would be appreciated. This look would prolly be best for fall time BTW as its still too hot out for a boots and jeans combo. My recent attempt on the Japanese style hair bun...I should've wrapped my hair around the base as this attempt seems more dressy rather then casual.

Another TJ Maxx splurge I had was this yellow satchel purse (photo above) for around $60 by Lucky Brand Jeans...I'm still not sure it was really worth the cost to be honest :P BTW, did ya hear bout the couple that recently got wed at TJ Maxx?!

Target Fall/Winter Fashion Ideas

As I was searching for fall/winter fashion this year I came across a few styles (as pictured below) and thanks to Target.com I was able to some-what dupe the looks, enjoy!

It was hard to dupe the top to this look (below) but I figured since it has that ripped fishnet feel I'd pick a chunky bold almost sea-like necklace (pearls, chains, buried treasure! haha) to make this top POP. Since most of us women need a handbag I picked this rusty bronze colored hobo bag which complimented the color tone in the shirt and necklace while upping the metallic feel that was lacking from my top.

That's it for now, your comments are always welcome...maybe you can find a better way to dupe these via Target or perhaps a different store but I thought these weren't bad given the circumstances I used, haha. Would love to see different dupe trends that everyone could create for this year! TTYL!!!

Happy Trending

I wasn't sure how interested people would find my casual winter style to be so I decided to take a pic of my outfit today...mainly I just wanted to share my new scarf ($5 Wal-Mart find, CHEAP!). It seems every year I get a new scarf which becomes my new found love that I carry around everywhere to keep me warm. I noticed their have been lots of trendy leopard prints going around this season and this scarf comes in several different colors (pink, purple, silver, etc). Its not totally leopard print as it has this zebra stripe to it but the colors sort of give it the leopard appeal I was hunting for and I think it'll look cool with brown or black clothing.
