Target is every woman's demise. I've never met a lady who doesn't like Target! We've all seen the memes about overstocking your cart with a mountain of unnecessary items, when in actuality all you came in for was toothpaste. Uh, totally guilty. generally, Target is an inexpensive place to shop, but I've been finding that it keeps getting pricier and pricier! Since when did their shoes cost $50!? No, thank you. As a budget shopper, I'm always looking for the biggest deal and the greatest steal. With an endless amount of items to shop, and new items being added all the time, it's hard to figure out what is actually a bargain and worth the purchase. 

For this week's blog post I'll be featuring my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale or the #nsale ;) and guess what?! All of my picks are under $30! So all of the items are accessible and affordable for you!

This post is all about the #1 summer staple, swimsuits. I feel like now, more than ever before swimsuits are trendier than ever! There are so many cute, fashionable options out there. Your swimsuit is definitely an extension of your own personal style. There's no reason to wear a boring swimsuit! I'vecreated a quick roundup of this summer's hottest swimsuit trends and at the end, I'll share my favorite place to go for affordable trendy swimwear!

One of the biggest struggles is not spending a FORTUNE when purchasing makeup. We've all been at Sephora, with an overflowing basket, half of which we've been loured into buying, knowing we're about to drop a fortune when we really just came in for a mascara. Your skin is your biggest organ, so you definitely want to make sure that whatever you're putting on your skin is quality. However, that often comes with a hefty price tag. In this post I'll be sharing some of my current favorite beauty products and if it's worth the SPLURGE or if it's better to save. :) I hope to introduce you to some new bargain beauty items and save ya some money in the makeup department! ;)

This season there are so many cute, trendy looks out there! I wanted to create a quick list of the summer's hottest sandals to be on the look out for. Some of the sandals that are featured aren't exactly budget-friendly, but more so there to give you an idea of a certain style or look to be inspired by! So have at it, frugalistas!

I fell in love with this off-the-shoulder look I saw one of my favorite bloggers, Kathleen at Carrie Bradshaw Lied,  wearing recently. Not only am I sucker for gingham, I love the unique gathering and cinching on this top. I love how she paired a fun and flirty top with an edgier bottom with the distressed shorts. And I about FREAKED when I saw her handbag! My mom had this purse about 30 years ago and still has it in her closet! I immediately screen shotted her a pic and told her to dust it off! Haha I may be stealing it this summer. ;)

This week's Frugal Friday post is the beginning of a new series! A fashionable favorite look for a much more frugal price tag, or Look for Less! I will feature one of my favorite looks of the season, inspired by a popular blogger and feature a much more budget-friendly version for the frugally minded. 

One of the most famous rules of fashion is... "Don't wear white after Labor Day." While, I don't necessarily adhere to all these ridiculous rules of fashion, one thing I do embrace about summer fashion, is wearing white! I love the crisp, clean look! Even though white is very simplistic, wearing it can be tricky. In my opinion it all comes down to piece selection and styling. To get you summer ready, I wanted to give some simple styling tips on how to look great wearing white this season!

One of the biggest things I look for when trying new brands and formulas is how long it lasts and how well it wears. There's nothing more annoying than having to worry about reapplying your lipstick EVERY hour. OR worrying if it's going to smudge, leave a stain on your teeth, or an embarrassing mark on your wine glass. This is a problem I've always had with EVERY lipstick! No matter how high end or expensive the brand. SO when a friend approached me to give LipSense a try I was skeptical. A lipstick that is smudge-proof, waterproof, smear-proof, budge-proof, kiss-proof, and long lasting?! No way. I was eager to try it and put it to the test!
