Alright ladies! Let's talk affordable fashionable pieces!! I love a great deal as much as the next girl but I do not like to sacrifice quality. Everytime I go onto Shein.com I see their incredibly low prices and I cannot help but want to buy SO much stuff!! You can't beat those kind of deals, am I right? I wanted to share my honest review on the pieces that I chose and a couple tips to help you shop the site. First up is the fan favorite, teddy coat. This coat is VERY soft and cozy. I fell in love with it as soon as I put it on. I am wearing a size medium and it fits perfect! I wanted it slightly bigger so that it fits more oversized. The price for it is only $34 and is definitely worth buying in my opinion because the quality is so good!! This style comes in 11 different colors. Don't only take my word for it, but my cat Maxwell also find its super soft and get's all ...

The Best Bell Sleeve Lace Top
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas spent with loved ones. The holidays come and go so fast! This was the first year I was not home for Christmas so it was bitter sweet!! I did enjoy the LA weather compared to the treacherous snow on the east coast. I wanted to share this adorable top I found at Forever 21. Have you noticed that's been my go-to place lately?? They have a lot of cute apparel and all reasonably priced. Have to love that :) This bell sleeve lace top is less than $40. I'm an 80's girl at heart and love a good bell sleeve. I styled this top with a pair of super cute leather leggings. I stumbled across this house in the Hollywood Hills area and thought it matched perfectly with my outfit! This house looks like something from London, not Hollywood! So adorable :) Shop my look below ...
Velvet Slip Dress + Velvet Booties
My favorite velvet slip dress and booties to wear this Fall! I also linked more cute velvet styles for under $20! Who says you can only have one velvet dress? They are perfect for the holiday season! When I think of Fall and Winter, I get excited for velvet and suede. I have been dying over these velvet booties (similar here) Did I mention they are on sale and under $35!

I pared it with a white tee but can be worn without a tee underneath. Drape a leather jacket over it and your ready to hit the town! I was very proud of my boyfriend who took these photos and I think he captured the outfit perfectly. Do you have your boyfriend or hubby take your ...

They can really change up your entire ...
