Steal vs. Splurge: Studded Sunglass Edition

A few months back when I was thumbing through the March issue of Marie Claire, I stumbled upon these sunglasses. I instantly fell in love with them because of its retro vibe. Looking at the magazine it appeared as if the design was rhinestones/diamonds but as you can see in the picture below it is actually outlined in the design of a zipper. According to OpeningCeremony.us, the retail price is $365.



A few weeks later when i was shopping with some people at a store called Citi Trends (which is a store that sells urban labels at a discounted price), I happened to stumble across a pair of shades that reminded me of those Alexander Wang sunglasses. I thought they were so amazing. The icing on the cake was they are only $3.99. Yes you read that right, $3.99. lol.


$365

$3.99

Okay I know they are not the same exact style but they are pretty freaking close. I also don't know how long $3.99 sunglasses will hold up but I plan on wearing them until they break. *crosses fingers that they don't*. I think I would definitely shell out the $365 for the Wang. Just decided to share this information with you guys.

MakeUp Inspirations

Rihanna's make up is always playful. You can tell that she is not afraid to play with colors.
Kim Kardashian's make up is always glamorous. No one can rock a smokey eye and glowy skin like she can.
Kate Hudson has that natural glamour to her make up. She doesnt pile on her make up. I love that she keeps it natural and subtle.
Jennifer Lopez always has the bronzed glowy look. I love the way she is rocking this peach lipstick in this picture.
Gabrielle Union's makeup looks so effortless yet she still looks gorgeous.
Beyonce's make up looks great where ever she goes. She may cake on the make up in her videos but when she is out and about she keeps it simple with just the right about to make her look fab-u-lous. lol
