When you want an expensive handbag you like.........try this.....! I saw a beautiful leather bag for $240.00 on "SALE".......at Macy's. At the time, I just didn't want to spend that much money, but I really, really wanted it.

Clean & Green
Here's a collection of my favorite natural cleaning formulas, concoctions
and witches brews. MOST are safe and nontoxic, with a few exceptions which are clearly noted.
Use the ingredients listed below when making your own alternative cleaners, most are
inexpensive and you probably already have many of them in your kitchen cupboards.

For frugalists, bargain hunting is a lifestyle
For these extreme anti-consumers, your trash is their food, furniture

As much as I enjoyed creating an outfit from the Movie I really wanted to share pictures of the outfits in the soon to be seen Sex & The City Movie.
Heres what I found:
1)For those of you who want Sex and the City: The Movie to be fresh and new, look away (until May 30th, 2008, when the film is released). For those who cannot resist a look at what the fabulous foursome will be wearing around Manhattan, carry on
2)In this scene, we see another busy and juxtaposing look for Ms.

Alright, lovelies. The weather has kept me guessing, but I think it is finally ready for us to move into summer, or at least the summer trends, brought to you courtesy of a free H&M magazine that was thrust upon me on a Brooklyn street corner (not exactly fashion insider, but I don't claim to be one anyway). I think you will be pleased, and as always I encourage you to post or bookmark any additional bargains you come across!
