Stephen told me today that I need to pack a bag and be ready to leave tomorrow morning for a two day adventure..
I have NEVER been taken away on a surprise trip before,
seriously, never.
So I am really excited.
He said he was just going to pack a bag for me..and have it be even more of a surprise..
but then thought against it
(wise man..)
SO while I am away I thought I would leave you to do a little shopping
(you're welcome)
Yesterday I was doing my usual blog runs..
which includes some of my fav fashion blogs..
and much like after I pinterest for awhile,
I end up walking away feel inspired and super anxious and sweaty..
because I am just not one to drop a lot of money on designer clothes,
even if I could afford it.
I think trends are so interesting,
especially the fact that the same stuff comes in all different price ranges.
I am not an expert bargain hunter or thrifter,
I just end up getting really overwhelmed,
but like I said I am definitely not the person that will pay a ton of money for any one item of clothing or accessory.
(I let other people do that for me for birthdays or christmas...duh)
I usually try to just find the best quality for the most reasonable price..
fluctuating between high street stores like Zara (obviously)
and stores for great basics like Target.
I thought it would be a fun idea to look at some trends, in the three different price brackets..
to help others like me, see that they can get what they see on their favorite fashion blogs,
for maybe a little less money.
So three trends, three prices.
Blazers
1. Rag & Bone $ 346.50 | 2. Zara $79.99 | 3. Forever 21 $32.80 |
Boyfriend Watches
1. Michael Kors $396.02 | 2. Guess $135.00 | 3. Asos $49.71 |
PS
To all of my American readers..
Tell the USA I say Happy Fourth of July tomorrow!

xx
I LOVE surprises! I'm so jealous - have a great time. And thank you for showing me that first maxi dress. Of COURSE I like the expensive one the most. It's how I do.
ReplyDeleteYay for a surprise trip! Geeze, husband needs to take some notes. Been married a yr and a half, and still no surprise trip over here, ugh! Anywho, yay for shopping. My picks: #2 for the maxi dress, #3 for the blazer and #3 for the boyfriend watches.

ReplyDeletea surprise trip!? intreguing, can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteand i sometimes wish i had lots of money to spend on clothes because i love them so much, but then i don't know if i could ever bring myself to spend it on them. i am awkward like that ;)
i wish he would have packed a surprise bag for you, just so we could enjoy the outfit posts that resulted from it.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I am so excited for you and your trip.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I get anxious over fashion blogs sometimes and the high price tags too. This is why I love your styl.
Thirdly, these are perfect choices and price ranges. Thank you.
x, anna
P.S. Happy fourth!!!
I'm with you! I love shopping but don't think I could ever drop that much money on designer clothes, even if I did have the money. I love this! I love that you took the time to compare things and curate this post. I will eat a hamburger and grilled corn on the cob tomorrow in your honor.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I'd kill for a surprise trip! Sadly, I'm the planner over here... Can't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteOMG. Surprise trip. Wink wink. I wonder what that means?!?! : )
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that people drop major money on clothes when you can definitely get a cheaper version that is just as cute!!
A surprise getaway!? How exciting! But oh man, if this was me I'd be driving myself nuts with anticipation and I'd be asking a million and one questions! And packing..? Forget it. So I hope your a lil more laid back than I am... :) Can't wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteI love Forever 21 and H&M for precisely this reason. I don't mind investing in a solid classic like a good trench or versatile LBD but when it comes to trendy stuff, I'd rather spend as little as possible since I probably won't wear it after a season or two. These are great affordable options!
ReplyDeleteAlso, secret getaway? He's a man after my own heart. The BF surprised me with a secret getaway for my bday and it's now one of my fave trips we've had together. Hope you two crazy lovebirds have an absolute blast!!
That ASOS maxi is lovely. Can't get enough!! Love a good deal.
ReplyDeletehmmmm...surprise trip? well... ;) have fun girl. i know you will. :D and happy early 4th!!!!
ReplyDeleteA surprise trip sounds like so much fun! Very romantic. Have an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteI love to shop, but I agree, I simply can't drop a ton of money on any one item. :-)
ReplyDeletethe cutest things are all the most expensive ones. stupid.
ReplyDeletestephen emailed me. your surprise trip is going to be an overnight at mcdonalds. your dream come true. sleepin all comfortable like in the disease ridden play place with those plastic balls.
That Stephen, always doing wonderful and hilarious things. They need to start making more of those on the other side of the Atlantic. Have fun on your trip! Can't wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteA surprise trip sounds amazing! I hope you two have a great time! Also, I too have trouble parting with a dollar over clothes and love the price comparisons you made :)
