So, yesterday was my birthday. I had a wonderful 4 day weekend with my family & got some great gifts that I thought I would share with you.
As you can tell I LOVE fashion. I do not however love the price of fashion. The average person simply cannot afford to pay ridiculous prices to look the way they want. It's far more important to eat & have a roof over your head. I would not normally promote the theft of intellectual property, but since major fashion designers steal from each other, are more like corporations, and charge outrageous prices so they can get richer (not an individual person trying to pay their mortgage), I'll show you my fashion forward & wallet friendly finds.
Below you'll find a scarf I found at Hot Topic (gasp) as well as the designer version.

| Alexander McQueen, Retail $295 |

| Hot Topic, Clearance less than $10 |

Those of you who know me can verify my love for statement bracelets. Here we have two cuffs, one that is easily recognizable as an Edgy "Go To" piece for celebs around the world.
 |
| Hermes Collier de Chien, Retail $1025 |
 |
| Sam Moon, Retail $18 |
The other, I couldn't find an exact match of, but you can see some of the similar detailing.
 |
| Hermes, Retail $450-$620 (depending on style) |
 |
| Sam Moon, Retail $7 |
Next up is a pair of pumps I found. I love the color!
 |
| Christian Louboutin, Retail $795 |
|
|
 |
| CATO, Retail $20 |
Lastly is a handbag, again in a vibrant blue. The lock on mine is a little comical, but I think I could replace it with something more sophisticated.
 |
| Hermes Birkin, Retail $17,000-$23,000 (this style) |
 |
| Sam Moon, Retail $35-$40 |
