The Cheap Girl

It’s always nice to see a splash of colour in between clouds of neutrals and pastels. That is why I love this silk dress by Paul & Joe. It would look awesome with silver or gold accessories and a belt.  It can also be worn on its own or as a top.

I am still looking for a pair of shoes to wear to my friend’s wedding. I am drooling over these gold leather, Italian-made shoes. It’s too bad they don’t carry my size and they’re not silver-toned. Other than that these shoes are gorgeous and at that price (OMG!), what a deal!

I found a website that sells perfume, skin care and make up at discounted prices. Think Sephora but at a lower price point. StrawberryNET carries everything that department stores have. As in EVERYTHING but cheaper. They also have a loyalty program, online deals and additional discounts depending on the number of items that you want to purchase. On top of that, they offer free shipping anywhere in the world (some exclusions apply for fragrance).

There’s taxes that you have to pay at the border but when you take advantage of the discounted price (+additional online deals) and free shipping it is probably cheaper to buy it online. It’s a good idea to do a price comparison before making a purchase.

Here are some deals that I found (Prices in CAD $):

Benefit 10 Palette Bronzer $30.50 SALE $18.00

Lancome Precious Lights Makeup Palette $63 SALE $35

Yves Saint Laurent Palette D’Artiste for the eyes &67 SALE $33.50

One of my favourite Canadian lines, Aime is now on sale at Enviius.

I really like Aime’s elegant and feminine approach to its design. Very timeless and classic as well.

From the PR kit:

“The eco-chic contemporary womenswear label Aime, the French word for love, infuses the philosophy to “Love yourself. Love others. Love luxury” to every piece. The collection is designed to be comfortable yet chic with a conscious effort to protect the earth using all natural and sustainable fabrics with luxe details that can be transformed from day to night, season to season, and from uptown prim to downtown cool to suit your personal style.”

“Aime continues to attract media acclaim since its debut in 2008 and has been seen on Fashion Television, Flare magazine, The Star, National Post, Steven&Chris, Inside Fashion, Fashion File.ca, and is available in specialty boutiques in the US and Canada. Visit AimeLuxury.com for more details.”

Love Others. Aime will donate 10% of sale proceeds from Enviius in an effort to provide relief to the victims in Haiti through World Vision Canada  . These funds will be matched by the Canadian government.

Luxe, Love, and Save 50 to 65% on the entire collection.
