Splurge or save ? Neon pumps

SHOP

Kate Spade / Enzo Agniolini

I bought THESE shoes last year on a whim, thinking that I would wear them one season and they would be out of style. I also tought that they were not going to be very remixable being so bright and all !

Oh was I wrong !

First of all, they are surprisingly versatile (seen worn HERE and HERE !). And even if the Kate Spade's ones are a little on the pricey side, there's a lot of less expensive options, that will make you walk on sunshine !

Have a bright day !

Splurge or Save ? - The perfect bag

SHOP

Prada / Tory Burch / IlyCouture

My birthday is next month, and I decided that I wanted to get a new everyday bag. When it comes to bags, I usually tend to go with the medium priced range bag. First because the high end brands rarely are an option (let's face it, I have 2 kids, it would feel really selfish to spend that much money on me, and I wouldn't want to anyway !). But I realized over the years, that a great quality bag, will last me for years and years (I've been carrying that MK bag for the last 8 years !!!). I've been seriously considering that Tory Burch one. It's a little over what I usually spend on a bag, but it seems like the perfect timeless one to carry around. Unfortunately the reviews online are a little mixed and I'm not shure it's worth the pricetag (if you have it and love it please let me know, I so want to love it haha !!!). Maybe I'll go for the save for now, until I fall in love with a new style !

Happy hump day ! 

Since it's the middle of the week, I decided to prove to you that sometimes there's an happy medium. I do love the most expensive and bargain versions of these pink ankle jeans and chambray shirts, but in these particular cases, it's the middle priced versions that are my favorites. I actually really need those pink jeans to make this never ending winter we've been having here in Montreal brighter !

If there's a lesson to be learned here, it's that for those who take the time to shop, there's is always a less expensive version out there and it's possible to get the look and not break the bank.

Real deal... or steal !

I love Rebecca Minkoff. I've been wanting one of her cute purses for a while. But with the holiday's coming (and all the gifts to buy) I just can't affort one of her beauties right now. And while shopping the other day, I found some cute alternatives.

So what do you think ?

P.S. I decided to save on the bracelet... and might wait for the real thing for the purse, but isn't it fun to know you can achieve any style at any price... if you take the time to look around !
