Recession Chic: Bold, Cute Ear Candy For Cheap!

image
When money is tight, it can be hard to stun your peers with your stellar fashion sense. Well, fashion is like a chameleon-- it changes quickly, and adapts to everything around us, so when your fashionista within needs a good pick-me-up but you've got little money to spend, what do you do? First and foremost, focus on accessories! No matter where you go, when it comes to shopping for earrings versus shopping for a dress, it's the latter that will likely cause your ATM card to groan more. My favorite things to add to rejuvenate any outfit are bold earrings, and whether they're big, colorful, or just downright weird, there's always the perfect earring out there to make any outfit complete- and plenty of cheap, cute options at that. Check out my slideshow to find plently of modestly priced ear candy that's guaranteed to make any outfit!

Valentine's Day Gifts For Unconventional Hearts

image
Valentine's Day is fast approaching as we can all see by the huge red and pink hearts strewn throughout the stores-- or for those of you with that glass half empty perspective, you might replace "strewn" with "regurgitated." At any rate, these not-so-subtle reminders always force us to ponder just where our own relationship status stands, whether we protest the holiday or not. Then our next thought arises which is usually "what am I going to wear?" So where is it you find yourself this year? Single and not really wanting to mingle, but love fashion and an excuse to dress up? Or have a boo, but not a fan of such a commercialized holiday? Maybe you're a self-confessed sappy romantic that loves Valentine's Day, but thinks that the red and pink hearts are so elementary school. Perhaps you just want to throw out the usual kitschy hearts and cupids and find some cutting-edge looks for the 14th. Here are some unconventional ways to be spirited about Valentine's Day without going over the top, or even having to give in to cupid's arrow.

Hot In The Hive: Love Bundle Blank CD-Rs

image
Valentine's day? Already? And here you are still struggling with the damage done to your plastic from buying your honey that Playstation 3 for Christmas, that of course now gets to sit there with his Wii and Xbox 360- how many do they really need? Well, if you're out of gift ideas and would love to get him something a bit more personal, look no further than these Valentine's Day inspired custom blank CDs from 5inch.com. Going the mix-tape way may seem a bit retro, but retro is in these days, and what's more heartfelt than sparing him your less-than-polished singing voice, at least for a couple of tracks? When devising a playlist, along with Death Cab, Kanye, Duffy, and Jason Mraz, be sure to download some Barry White to show him how in sync you are with the classics, and he really won't be able to get enough of your love, babe.


Price: $7.50
