Dscount Designer Dealio!

Bought these precious lil diddies at Winners.  Thought I'd share them with the fashion world.  Being a Diva on a Budget is sooOOooo much fun.  Scored these Kensiegirl patented leather pumps... YES I said LEATHER... for 30 dollas!  Check out the size of the bow!!  Minnie Mouse would be sooOOoo jealous!

Divas 2 Cents:  Peruse The isles of discount stores such as Winners to find that designer deal treasure!  If you are able to, cross the border then go to Seattle and Bellingham and check out stores such as Khols, Ross, Marshalls and Fred Myers.  Don't forget to check out the Premium Outlets as well.  There is a mountain of treasure to be had at the Outlet stores!

Daiso... the store that dreams are made of!

I just went to Daiso in Richmond for the very first time.... I feel like Madonna... Like a virgin... no joke!!!  It is like a dollar store on steroids!  I swear you can get anything in there for $2.00.  There are some items that cost $2.75 or $4.00... but for the most part 2 bucks is what you will pay!  I bought really nice fishnet stockings with a flower design for $2.75!!  They have over 70,000 items to choose from.  Items that are low in cost but good in quality.

They have everything from school supplies to toys... kitchen ware to beauty...FOOD!!... you name it... they have it!  There is so much nifty stuff to choose from.  The reason for my visit was a field trip.  I am taking an esthetics program and was able to find a gold mine of nail decals to use for 3D nail art that I will soon be learning.  When you have to supply some of your own tools, a place like this is goooolden!!  I am a bad sucker for packaging and everything in there is delightfully packaged in cute colorful packaging! Oh Yeah!! For all you eye lash vixens, they have an awesome selection of false lashes to choose from.  I picked up 4 pairs of lashes for $4.00... a buck a pair!  I had to hold myself back alot because of their wide selection.

It is located a hop jump and a skip away from The Aberdeen Skytrain station.  I suggest this store to anyone because there is a wealth of nice items for a good price in there.

Divas 2 cents:  If you are tired of the same old dollar store then give Daiso a try.  It is 10 times better then a dollar store I guarantee it!  They have so much to choose from and the items are not what you would expect to pay for a $2.00 item.  You have to see to believe... check it out!

Cable Knit or Ribbed Leggings!

Ive been wearing these lovely leggings for a while now. They are a nice play on the plain black leggings we have all become accustomed too. To top it off they are a bit thicker then regular leggings and are perfect for the winter months. They add a nice texture to your style. Winter is all about comfy knit and textured styles! They seem slimming as well and are super comfy! They come in all sorts of colors but mostly black, white, light grey and dark grey... so you can play up any outfit in any color :D I found them pretty cheap at Ardene's. It is that accessory store sort of like Claires.

Ardene's has become one of my favorite stores for deals. They have lots of accessories for seasonal purchases. You are never going to go too deep into your wallet for items that you may only use for one season. A few weeks ago I was able to buy 3 nice ruffled scarves for $15.00. At prices like that you can't go wrong. HELLO Christmas is just around the corner!!

Price for the Luscious Leggings: $15.00 regular price... BUT Ardene's always goes on sale 50% off... so you already know I paid half price for these little diddies!

Features & Benefits: stylish, slimming and they don't have trouble staying up... AND NO MUFFIN TOP! How about that!?

Divas 2 cents: Pair these leggings with thigh highs, biker boots or flats... they are that versatile! You can dress them up or down, you decide... just get them while they are hawwwt... or while it's cold outside!
