The Look For Less: Marni

One of my favorite style crushes Christa (@Chrisadorvegaaa) on Instagram introduced me to the shoe fringe accessory trend back in February and I was so in love! She purchased hers from Marni.com but by the time I ran to the site they were all gone. Ever since I've been looking for the look for less in a sense because I'm not totally sure I would want to spend Marni money especially since they were $110!I came across an online retailer of some very similar shoe fringe accessories and found some of the coolest prints and even fur. The website is Pinned by K. They sell sneakers, shoe accessories and socks. The shoe fringe ranges from $17 to $40 and come in just about every color!

Marni $110

Snake Pink Fringe $23

Neon Yellow Fringe $23

Jeans Fringe $23

What's The TREND? Open Shoulder

Now this month’s trend is similar to an older trend we posted before. Off-the-shoulder clothing items have been trending since last year but this season's take on the trend is just having the shoulder exposed. So forget having to readjust your off-the-shoulder top, dress, or romper and get with the open shoulder trend. 

1. Open Shoulder Blouse $35 || 2. Embellished Open Shoulder Dress $60 || 3. Turtle Neck Open Shoulder Jumper $16|| 4. Open Shoulder Denim Romper $28 || 5. Lace Up Open Shoulder Shift Dress  $26

Meet Frugal Shopaholic LaNatria Renee Ellis

Name:

My name is LaNatria Renee Ellis.

Where are you from?

 I am a blogger living in Garland, NC. The only claim to fame for my small and rural town is the Brook's Brothers Outlet store lol.

Explain your blog or Instagram name?

My IG name is Caribbean Cowgirl. It is a reflection and reverence to my both my southern upbringing and my paternal heritage (my father is Jamaican).

Describe your personal style?
 My mother and father are to whom I owe the most credit . My mother made sure all 5 kids and my father were always dressed to the nines even on the most modest of budgets. She did so through bargain hunting and thrifting. My father, being Jamaican, was a man of many talents which including sewing and tailoring. Their frugal yet fun approach to looking nice are the inspiration behind my affordable and fun street style looks. Growing up in small town, with such a broad approach to fashion and style, I got plenty of odd stares but I used to it now.

Where are your favorite places to shop?

 My favorite place to shop is a local thrift store in Elizabethtown, NC. Not only am I supporting local charity, but some of my most fabulous finds came from there including my Louis Vuitton Speedy for $15! I am also a very avid online shopper. The sites I frequent most are SheIn, Romwe, H&M, GoJane, Zara and my newest fine therealreal.com.

What does being a “Frugal Shopaholic” mean to you?
Being a 'Frugal Shopaholic' means knowing how to get the best bang for your buck. As a frugal shopaholic, I know what it means to get a deal which includes comparison shopping, reading reviews, and revamping old items through DIY projects.

What is a frugal shopaholic tip or trick that can share with our readers?

A tip I would share is if the deal is too good to pass up...just get it! For a steal you can always redesign the item guilt-free knowing you didn't pay a lot, or you could even bless a friend with it. Anytime I have passed up a deal too good to be true, I have regretted it. 

How can we keep in touch with you? 

You can keep up with me through my blog www.caribbeancowgirl.weebly.com or on Instagram @caribbean_cowgirl.

What's The TREND? Satin Bomber

The bomber jacket was a huge hit this past winter and returned for the spring in a thinner satin version. You can't deny it adds a sleek aspect to any simple look. American Apparel was probably the first store that I saw carry this trend year round but luckily we found other retailers who had it for the LOW!

1. Painted Threads Satin Bomber $25 | 2. Tiger Head Embroidered Satin Bomber $40 | 3. Emma Embroidered Satin Bomber $35 | 4. Alexis Printed Satin Bomber Jacket $35 | 5. Tropical Print Bomber Jacket $30 | 6. Leanar Rose Satin Bomber $44

To Dye For

 

Tie Dye is the absolute biggest trend of the season, in my opinion! Whether it's a dress, romper, leggings or a scarf you'll see tie dye on men, women and children. I recently purchased a couple items myself from JCPenny's including a romper and a bodycon midi dress, both were under $25!

Belle + Sky Sleeveless Tie Dye Romper $25

Belle + Sky Sleeveless Tie Dye Dress $25

Also if you are hip to the Tie Dye trend and want something a little different check out my Tie Dye Unitards, you can choose the colors you want! See a customer photo below.
