    From over-the-knee and fold-over styles to peep-toe booties, few stores can deliver cute, cheap boots under $40. Enter Forever 21, a happy place we can always turn to when times are tough on the wallet yet ripe for fashion. Buckles, studs, cuffs and zippers can all be yours at these manageable prices. For runway-inspired looks at rock-bottom prices, browse Forever 21's current offerings. While the cheap route isn't always the way to go when looking for a long-lasting staple that you'll depend on to take you through the upcoming seasons and beyond, it's great to have the option of saving when it comes to bolder styles and trends you want to test out. We especially love these lace-up cut-out booties and this buckled pair! Head over to The Budget Babe to scroll through the full selection of steals!

    So unless you've been living under a rock, or have holed yourself up in a dark room, I'm sure you've noticed by now that it is pretty much Halloween. It's this Saturday and maybe you've been thinking about finding something cool to go as or just finding any costume, really, so you can join in on the Halloween spirit and festivities. But what about that bank account? Halloween is still a great deal of fun for any age, but now that you understand the value of a dollar more than you did when you were five, you realize that blowing upwards of three figures for one night that you'll remember through a haze is not that a great of an idea. Your rent is due soon, there's that bill you really can't put off anymore and the Holiday season is fast approaching as well. Have no fear (except for those ghosts and goblins that'll be roaming around in a few days), because after doing extensive searching and bargaining hunting, I've found quite a few Halloween accessories that are easy on the pocketbook and, when added to clothing and accessories that you and your friends already have, make a great costume for cheap! Click on the slideshow to see some great Halloween costume ideas that'll leave enough money in your wallet to buy your own Halloween treats!

    Wardrobe Jackpot: Boring Stores, Reinvented!

    This recession totally sucks. But, if you ignore the unemployment rate and rising cost of beer, some good is definitely coming from it. And one of those positives is the fact that the plummeting sales of retail chains has caused them to re-evaluate their brand and reinvent themselves for fall. Suddenly stores that used to make me feel nauseous (boasting window displays stuffed with mom jeans and fugly tablecloth patterns), actually have some adorable stuff that us college girls would actually consider wearing. For the closets of fashionistas, this is great news. Now there are a dozen more stores that we can peruse online during class and drool over on our weekly treks to the mall. (Plus now when my mom calls and tells me she's going to Ann Taylor to pick up a suit jacket, I can ask her to pick me up a cute skirt to add to my care package!)

    CollegeCandy Presents 8 Under $20: Urban Outfitters!

    I have a love/hate relationship with Urban Outfitters. I fall madly in love with everything on the racks, but hate how much they charge for shirts, skirts and dresses that usually fall apart after a few go-rounds in the washing machine. But then I fall in love again when those trendy little Urban employees stock the sale racks with all that gorgeous goodness. The Urban sale section might be one of the only ones I'm willing to elbow, shove and push my way through. They have some of the best deals around on some serious cuteness, much of it $19.99 or less! Here are some of my favorite pieces that are all under $20. The best part: you don't even have to leave the comfort of your couch or tempt yourself with the rest of the overpriced items en route to the sale section. The dress on the left will look fantastic with some tights and a skinny belt around the middle. Mix it with an oversized cardi or sweater coat and you've got a super cute outfit for a night out. Pair the tunic on the right with some leggings, a cozy sweater and some knee boots and look put-together yet totally comfortable for class. Click over to our friends at College Candy for more!

    10 Fabulous Frocks Under $50!

    I'm definitely loving this new trend of rompers and jumpsuits. Anyone who knows me at all will tell you that I'm borderline obsessed. But really, the infatuation stems beyond to a love for all one-pieces. The most familiar, most versatile and most comfortable one-piece of all time? That would have to be the well-loved dress. Dresses are feminine no matter the style - casual jersey knit for the weekend with friends, or silk sateen for that cocktail party you've been planning for - and they are easy to dress up or down. They're convenient because you don't need to take time trying to decide which top goes well with which bottom and, although they take mere seconds to put on, they make you look pretty and put-together. A dress can be appropriate for almost any situation so check out the slideshow for our 10 favorites under $50!
