Soar Necklace $29

I'm crazy about the layered look but too many necklaces can be an over kill. Thats why i love this brass swallow necklace for $29 at Bohemian Closet. It's delicate and feminine. Just enough layers to make it very simple. And the chalkwhite crystal is a great touch.

When Sigerson Morrison in Soho has a SALE, the line is always wrapped around the corner, but now you can get these cute electric suede booties for a fraction of the price at Target for only $39.99. The patent belt gives the boot a more expensive look while the price falls right into the budget. Hurry and order them because you know it will not last!!!http://www.target.com/b/ref=nav_t_spc_1_39/184-9171760-6331757?ie=UTF8&node=1232900011

Hot Mess Glass $8

This is by far the perfect gift for that outspoken friend or maybe yourself. Only $8 at Urban Outfitters, it also comes in the "Lush" logo. I had to stock up for holiday gifts.

Disco Top $15.99

For only $15.99, this top is great for going out dancing. You can even dress it up with a satin pencil skirt for New Years Eve. The boat neck makes it great for draping and showing off a little shoulder action. Very Sexy.

Chandelier Earrings $12.99

Im such a fanatic for anything Chandelier: wallpaper, notebooks, tee's, etc...... So I fell in love with these earrings for only $12.99 at Urban Outfitters. Their great for dressing up that little black dress, especially with the holidays coming up.

Vintage Heels $20

These shoes are very Donna Summer. What I truly love about them is that they totally look vintage but you can actually find them in your size. Best thing is that their only $20. The wedge is comfortable enough for you to wear them for more than 2 hrs and they come in blk,gry,fucshia/rd,gld,gry. I make this the signature piece of my outfit by wearing blk tights and a blk dress or a long jean that touches the front of the shoe. Whatever you do, DO NOT wear any of the colors in the shoe or you would just be too matchy matchy. Keep it simple. (Purchased today). Email me for where to get them.

Fringe Bag $19.99

"Pocahontas, here I come". Fringes are making a big comeback and I came across this Fringe Hobo bag for only $19.99 at Rainbows. If you're a stuffer, like me, then this is great to carry it all. Now, the fabric is a faux suede and from a distance it looks pretty damn good. But you can tell the difference of course if someone is all up in your business petting it. Either way, no one should be that close to your bag anyway. Besides, it's a trendy piece which is totally worth spending $19.99 and it's majorly cute. It comes in purple, mustard and fuchsia but honestly: black is the only color to me that can pass. (Purchased today).

Gift of Flowers $40

Flowers are a good way to go for that last minute and universal gift. I had to get something for a coworker that I really didn't know to well but well enough to know that a gift certificate would have been tacky. So one day I passed by Jane Packer of London ( a great florist boutique) on E. 59th st and was surprised that her stunning arrangements were in my budget. The store is sleek and the staff is helpful with putting unique and vibrant arrangements together(starting at $40). And the wrapping is to die for.Check out the site http://www.janepacker.com/ to see more.

Pretty in Pink $12

I'm pretty sure you already own one of these little crop coats as I have a million of them. But I could not resist this one for only $12 (HELLO!!). Seriously, I almost gagged because the quality of it is pretty decent, no lie. The fit is great and it comes in: mustard, teal, black (which really looks sleek) and fuchsia (herringbone pattern). I picked this up from one of my little hideaways in Spanish Harlem (trust me, you would walk right pass it or maybe run) and they never do my wrong there. Looks really cute with a fitted blk turtleneck or if you have time, change the buttons to gold sailor buttons for a Nautical pea coat look. For this price, you can't go wrong.

The Black House Tee $20

So it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican. What matter's most is that we were apart of HISTORY !!!! and I totally love these tee's designed by my friends over at Q Models for only $20. Cute for making a statement or just realizing that it's no longer a "WHITE HOUSE". You can go to http://www.qmodels.com/ to buy. Very cute.

Jeweled Heels $28

I've been asked "Are those Marc Jacobs or Prada's"? NO!! Actually, these puppies are Forever 21 for only $28 freakin dollars. Now here's the catch. The shoes and the broche are separate. ( the shoes alone are fab as well). As I was online buying the pumps, I saw these sparkling eye catching earrings that I loved. I thought " How dope would that look on the shoe" and so I used permanent adhesive glue ( you can get at any fabric/arts crafts store $4) and glued them on. You can choose any bold earrings (make sure they have a flat back and twist off the top earring part) and have your own custom heels. I wear these with lavender tights, skinny jeans or a basic black dress. Never fails, I'm always getting compliments and they have endured dancing and running for the City bus. (Purchased 2wks ago so they may have more)
