BOTD: Zara Jelly Flats

{Bargain Of The Day}

I FOUND THEM!!!!! Yes, these babies have been sold out on ZARA since they were first introduced and I wasn't about to pay full price {$89??} for them anyway... Sooo, I went on Ebay and searched and searched until viola! there they were for $65! Can you say score!?!?!?! 

Now, I will share my secret: They are not listed under the ZARA name so I messaged the seller wanting to know details about where they get their merchandise {they have more Zara items listed} and was told that they purchase them directly from a ZARA branded factory {in china I suppose}. But, since they "don't have actual Zara receipts" they wont list them as such... kind of weird since their other items are listed under the ZARA name. They shipped from China and it took about 12 days from the date of purchase to receive them with a tracking number provided. The shipping for these flats is free! If your size is currently unavailable, wait a few days and see if they restock them.

Anyway, I bought them because the pictures are all identical to the original ZARA jelly flats, and indeed they are ZARA! They still had the plastic film on the bottom sole and came in a brown ZARA shoe box. They also have all of the embossed ZARA logos in all of the right places and none of the studs were missing.

Review: They are fabulous and people will want to steal them off of your feet they are so sparkly!!! The soles are quite slippery so be careful, I think I'm going to put grips on the bottom of mine. They don't pinch or cause blistered as the material is a very nice and soft suede. They run in european sizes so make sure that you check out a shoe size conversion chart to find your right size. I am personally always a US 6.5 so I got the equivalent EU37, and they are a tad roomy {less than 1/2 too big}. Go with your regular size since the t-strap allows you to adjust them to your perfect fit.

What an extensive review/info! I hope that this helps anyone who has been coveting these beauties like I have.

I'd love to know if you purchase them through this seller!!!

NOTD: Tiffany Manicure

This is another manicure that I had been dying to try, but I just couldn't free-hand the bow right and stamping just wasn't cutting it. So, I order some adorable bows from eBay and waited 2 long weeks for them to arrive before attempting it again.

I'm sure most of you guys have heard of, seen, or own China Glaze's For Audrey. It is the perfect Tiffany blue color and goes on opaque and even after 2 coats.

• After applying 2 coats of color, I used my CM nail art to draw horizontal lines across the nail- these represent the ribbon on the iconic tiffany box.
• On the accent nail I added a vertical line and placed a bow in the center using a thick layer of top coat to secure it in place.
• That's it! :)

I did notice that one of the bows is defective but for the $1.69, well worth it.

OOTD: Tanks + Statement Necklace

I did some online shopping last week and was pretty excited to get packages in the mail this week!

Shopping online at Forever21 and Charlotte Russe is definitely not something I do often, I am always expecting so much more than what I usually end. And F21's return policy isn't one of my favorites either, but I am extremely pleased with these purchases and there will be no returns! And if you haven't already noticed, I might be totally obsessed, and get ridiculously excited when I find amazing bargains like shopping on eBay and enjoy finding great items like this necklace :)

Here are all my new items! 

After seeing so many pictures floating around on Pinterest, I found this Bubble Necklace on Ebay for $15, compared to J.Crew's hefty $150 price tag. 

{I'm sure mine is only J.Crew inspired, but it's amazing quality, for a tiny fraction of the price!}

I saw this online at Charlotte Russe and fell in love with the huge bow!!! But I was skeptical of the fabric so I found it in-store and was pleasantly surprised at how soft, yet sturdy it actually is!

Love= Black+White .

  

Today's Outfit: I'm loving the Bubble necklace and Stripes combo :)
