I heard you're a player. Nice to meet you, I'm the COACH.

One of my favorite designers for handbags and wallets would have to be Coach. Coach wallets, wristlets and handbags are so classic that they are always in style! Although Coach designs come with hefty price tags, you can find amazing deals at the Coach Factory Outlet! This past week I found this wallet (original $148) that was on sale for $99 then additional 50% off the whole store! So my final cost was $53.16!

Here is the Coach Factory website. Type in your email to get invited to their sales!

When in doubt, go to the Outlet.

As summer dwindles down, my favorite fashions come out for fall. Cute sweaters, new denim washes, and ballet flats for every color of your mood. One of the best ways to go shopping for a seasonal wardrobe would be to go to an outlet mall. They have all designer fashions all for easily 75% off! They also almost always have daily sales on top of their already low prices! Here are some of the fierce fashions I found!

Look fab, stay financially-savvy.




Ever drool over the stars wearing high-fashion designer clothes as their everyday wardrobe?! It's safe to say we all want to wear killer brands but with the hefty price tag, it's normally just a dream. However, going to the sales racks at these designer stores can save you a buck while making you a beaut. Most high-end stores have a clientele program where you can ask the stylists to give a call whenever the sale items go additional 50% off the sale price! Such a great way to stock up on clothes at low prices. Today, I popped into my favorite store, bebe, and found the cutest chartreuse peplum top with faux leather sleeves (SUPER CUTE)! Regularly priced, this item goes for $54... For fiercely financial shoppers, like myself, I was able to pay $18.99 for a designer top. Talk about a hefty 65% savings!!!  Not a bad deal for a cute top!

Roses are red; so is my wine. Refill my glass, and I'll be just fine.




Want to make a beautiful, personalized wine glass for yourself of a loved one?! Here's how!

Materials: 
-Folkart glassware paint (has wine glass pic on the bottle)
-wine glass (found one at Walmart for $0.98!
-thin paint brush
-print-outs of names, pictures, etc.
-Tape
-Scissors

Total cost for this fabulously frugal gift idea : $4.71!!






1) Print out pictures of something thy you want on the wine glass as your guide. I used two palm trees then printed out my best friend's name out in cursive from a Word document. 

2) Wash your wine glass with warm soap and water, then let the glass air dry for at least 15 minutes. 

3) Using scissors and tape, cut out the printed pictures for your glass and line up to make sure they are straight. *Be sure to tape the print out directly against the glass for the best results.*

4) Using a very thin brush, trace the lines of the designs you have, making sure you have a napkin available in case you slip up!

5) Once the glass is completely painted, you can either wait 21 days for it dry  (OUTRAGEOUS -I KNOW!) or place the glass upside down on a cookie sheet and put in the oven. Then set the oven to 350 degrees while the glass is already in there for 30 minutes. The glass must gradually be heated or else it will break. 

6) Leave glass in the oven until the oven is completely cooled. 

7) Add a couple bottles of wine to a little basket and you have for yourself a nice gift!!!

Too get ready, or not to get ready; That is the question.

You know those days when you are just so exhausted that you don't want to go out?! Basically every Friday night for me. I'm more of a relaxing wine and dine at home or with friends kind of girl on Friday nights. Last night, I waited til the last minute to get ready; and of course was fashionably late! LOL! Just a little makeup clearly can go a long way for me! 

Stay Fabulously Frugal ❤️

"I get up; I get into jeans."




Fashion is a form of art, and I believe jeans are the most comfortable form of art on the planet! The August 2014 issue of Glamour was dedicated to the essence and versatility jeans offer to women of all walks of life. My favorite jeans are from bebe. I know my size and they all fit the same (and make my small booty look a little bigger) LOL! Even though bebe jeans go $89 regular price, you can get them for less than $30 when the sale merchandise goes additional 50% off! Talk about looking fab on a budget!
Stay fabulously frugal <3


Just a few of my fave jeans; bebe & Guess Jeans - such classics ❤️
