Money Mondays: How to get DESIGNER without the expensive pricetag

Hello Bombshells,
I am starting a new series every Monday showing you how you can get the most out of your money. Honestly who doesn't love to get what they want at a price that allows them to indulge and save at the same time. Every girl has a weakness for designer whether its mutual or down right obsessive with these tips you will be able to get the pieces you like without the retail price.

1. Nothing beats a sale
   Sales are a girls best friend. During a sale your able to receive some of your fave designer pieces 25-75% off. Sales vary depending on seasons, holidays, and company financial quota. For instance Nordstrom usually has a family and friends sale in which a majority of the best designers will be on sale.

2. Shop out of season
   We all know that shopping out of season means saving saving saving. Shopping out of season means during the winter stock up on summer essentials and hot buys. While in the summer stock up on winter essentials and hot buys. When shopping out of season everything is always on sale and dont get discouraged to be picking up last falls/summers signature pieces. Make your own trends by reading up on what the previous seasons trend was and creating your own based on what they predicted to see a lot of for the next season. This way you stay fashionably chic and your wallet stays gorgeously full.

3. Join invitation only boutique sites
    Websites like Rue La La, PLNDR, and Hautelook are boutique websites branching from designers and department stores. The best thing about these websites is they offer you authentic merchandise and something is always on sale. These websites allow you to shop in the convenience of your home without having to squander through numerous racks of sale merchandise. The only downfall is that some of the merchandise does sell out quickly so you have to make sure to log on and check out sale items quickly. A benefit to these websites are if you are indecisive about getting something they allow you to hold an item in your cart from 30mins to an hour on some sites which is amazing.

If you wanted to get started with those websites dont wait to be put on the mailing list just click my invitation link and start saving today! (Also as a side note THE WEBSITES HAVE SALES FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN)

Kérastase Young Hollywood Awards Winner

Hello Bombshells,

    I am so excited to announce some great news. On June 7th I entered a contest for Kerastase and I am pleased to announce that I have won! Kerastase is a hair care company that specializes in premium hair care products and on June 14th I was flown to LA to attend the Young Hollywood Awards.


The day began with me and my friend actress Darnella Daniels waking up at 3am in the morning to pack for our 7:38am flight. Once we reached LA it still hadn't sunk in that this was actually happening. We had a driver waiting for us in the lobby with my name on the cart. I was more than excited to start my journey in LA. We began by taking a small tour through some of the neighborhoods and on our way to Beverly Hills we stopped by Baja Fresh to get some great tasting Mexican Food. Once we finished lunch we checked in to the beautiful Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel which has its own floor for Oscar nominees and celebrities which was awesome. After checking in Darnella and I went to the Metodo Rossano Ferreti Hairspa where we received a complimentary blow dry service.  

Next we headed to the Hotel where we got dressed and ready for the Young HollyWood Awards as we were pulling up we saw Miranda Cosgrove. Which made the experience that much more exciting. The event lasted approximetly 3 hours  with the final performance by none other than Dev. There was also an after party where everyone had the opportunity to mingle and dance. 

Overall, I had an excellent experience. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and greet celebrities in LA thanks to the Kerastase family.
