Look for Less: The Chanel Boy

A while back, I spent (basically) all my money on a Chanel Boy bag.  I had admired the brand for SO long - ever since I was a kid - and I had finally saved enough moolah to buy one.  I was hella poor but giddy like a 5-year-old opening presents on Christmas day, ha.  

It was def. an investment - in case you guys were wondering, I have zero regret  - but I work two jobs in addition to blogging full-time, performing, and studying for a doctoral degree AND second master's so treating myself is a necessity, ha!  My occasional splurges and at-home spa nights keep me sane and HAPPY.

  

With that said, not everyone can afford a boy bag hence I jumped at the opportunity to review Bag Inc's Chanel-inspired medium leather bag.  It's made of high-quality leather and has antique silver metal hardware.  To be honest, it really does look like the real deal from afar, haha.  What gives it away is the logo.  If you're lusting over the original design, this version is a GREAT alternative.  Available here for $109 (versus $4500+) in several colors.  

If you have any questions, shoot me an email (sensiblestylista87@gmail.com) or leave me a comment below.  I own both so I can give you feedback/advice.

Look for Less: Christian Dior Quilted Cap Toe Heels

Lusting for these sexy Christian Dior cap toe pumps but don't want to dish out $725? Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say "you're welcome" in advance because I found you guys a KILLER look for less.  Before we talk about my very "sensible" (hardy har har) alternative, let's examine these heels. They're black (obvi), 4" high, and made of quilted leather. Now, these babies are totes sold out online, but if you'd like to drool over more pics, clicky here.

Now, let's move onto exhibit B.  These equally sexy heels are available at +AMI Clubwear for $20.34 (!!!!) I own these shoes personally so I vouch for these loves (again, obvi).  These kicks literally look IDENTICAL to the Christian Dior's pictured above, minus the leather.  The faux-leather is on point though - you'll be PLEASANTLY surprised with the quality.  I promise you'll adore these heels - perfect for day AND night, work AND play, so on and so worth.  Basically they're awesome, and you'll wear them all the time.

Find of the Day: Joe's Animal-Spot Skinnies ($59.99)

These printed skinny jeans are SO ridiculously cute!  I bought them online at Saks Off 5th yesterday because they're currently having a Friends & Family sale - use code FRIENDS for an extra 40% off and FREESHIP75 for free shipping on orders $75+.  

Anywho, I'm a Joe's Jeans kind of girl.  I don't wear pants often, but when I do, JJ's is my go-to.  When I saw these printed skinnies, I grabbed my wallet IMMEDIATELY, ha.  I wish I was joking, but come on, $59? Uh, I think YES.  They're originally $178 so these babies are a steal.  Plus, I know they'll fit perfectly because I own different pairs already.  Clicky HERE to purchase - I used Shopsense for the aforementioned link.
