FASHION FRIDAY - Edition 2

As the holidays creep up on us, December can get quite hectic with family gatherings, company year-ends , and holiday gift purchasing. I know ‘tis the season for giving’ but sometimes the ‘giving’ needs to be to ourselves. We have all worked hard in 2010, we deserve some TLC whether that be by travelling somewhere warm or buying something that makes us feel warm this holiday season. This week I have included some of the top sales I have found, which I think would meet the needs of any traveler or fashionista.

One of my favourite discount vintage/new apparel stores is www.shopnastygal.com. The attire they sell is anything but nasty gal like, but their prices are so low its nasty lol. They still have their end of summer sale going on, which is great for someone that’s considering heading somewhere warm in the weeks to come. See two outfits I want to purchase below:

Outfit 1: Martini sipping in LA. Ruby is heading to LA this winter and she plans on wearing this Navajo cut-out dress her first night out. Although she may have to wear a La Senza ‘dreamshaper’ stick on bra due to the extra low cut-out back, she’s definitely going to make a guys dream come true in this dress. She plans to wear this dress as she sips on martinis at Château Marmont in LA, when she spends an evening with old friends and her twin sister. You can find this at www.shopnastygal.com

Price:$68USD

Outfit 2: Martini sipping in LA. Rania (Rubys twin sister) is also heading to LA this winter, and although she loves her sister to death she hates being known as “the twins.” When she heads out that first night for drinks she plans to wear this sizzling red number, so that everyone can see her unique style. This crimson red dress is simplicity at its finest,  all the details (like her sisters dress) draw attention to the cross bow back. Her sister may have the cut-out back tonight, but Rania has red lips and a smoking hot attitude to match. You can also find this dress at www.shopnastygal.com.

Price: $48USD

Outfit 3: Soaking in sun in Maui. Sasha is heading to the beaches of Maui in one week with her boyfriend of 2 years. Sasha is spending two weeks at the Grand Wailea resort in a cottage by the water. Sasha and her boyfriend are big surfers so for the most part her boyfriend sees her in a full body suit. When surfing, Sasha puts looking good on the back burner; favourite board shorts over sarongs any day. But for this trip, Sasha wants to blow her man away with this racy number. Luckily she did some quick browsing online and she was able to find this smoking black bikini by Vitamin A, available at www.tags.com.

Price: $67.50 (20%off)

Outfit 4: Safari adventure in Kenya. Michelle is a humanitarian who plans to volunteer for the Habitat for Humanity ‘Global Village program’. She is heading to Kenya this January and will be shoveling, plastering, mixing concrete, and pushing wheel barrows as she helps rebuild communities. Although she is mainly going to volunteer her time, she also plans to go on a safari where she will relive the youtube video ‘battle at kruger.’ Michelle is quite the frugal shopper but splurges every once in a while on a purchase by one of her favourite brands. She plans to wear a safari stripe shirt dress with a straw hat and shades when she takes off on her adventure. If you would like to purchase her dress it is by Elizabeth and James and is available at www.shopbop.com.

Price: $182.50USD (50% off)
