JBrand Jeans, Juicy Couture, Anthropologie, Splendid, Pier 1, Pottery Barn…Have You Experienced The Gabriel Brothers???

categories: Fashion, Shopping

I said “Yes, I got it at The Gabriel Brothers? Have you ever been?” And everyone laughed, “Gabes?!” Once a degenerate, damaged item discount store, Gabes has transformed itself into a mecca for thrifty fashionistas!

From Spring clothing must haves to amazing home items, you can find some great pieces at this store! Trust me I am a princess and I can’t get enough! Rule #1- You must be in a shopping/hunting mood and have zero expectations. Rule #2- You must not let some of the “crazy I would never wear that” attitude distract you from the task at hand. Rule #3- If you don’t succeed, try try again! One day you hit the gold mine and the next time, totally nothing.

Let’s look at my latest hot Spring fashion buys!!! Great day!!

First look: Graphic wide leg pant paired with a racer back tank!

There Is Hope For Spring After All!! Miami’s Spring Style at Anthropologie!! Get your 2-3 must haves!!

categories: Fashion, Shopping

After a disappointing Elle magazine Spring fashion spread, I am please to announce that Anthropologie is giving me hope! The new arrivals offer everything Spring- bright colors, sexy softness, and flowing lines!

Miami had a jump on Spring style! What did I see? Flowy, graphic pants paired with fitted tanks, peplum tops with skinny jeans, and maxi dresses!

These pants were everywhere in Miami! Not to mention on the boat by the pool and at the beach!

Anthropologie’s Sapphire Flame Cardigan has Spring’s hottest colors! Turquoise, orange, and a little royal blue! Dress it up with navy ankle dress pants and wear it to church on Sunday!

Statement earring? Yes! Can you imagine these paired with some gold bangles? Yes, please!!

I love a peplum top! It can really compliment any body type! The peplum top is slimming, hiding the muffin top and the pooch very well!!

Floral peplum top! Great with jeans on a Saturday night or for Easter with a pencil skirt!!

At $117, $128, $178, these are too trendy to buy at Anthropologie! Too hip and now to be classic “spend your money on pieces” because they will only be around one or two seasons! Be a super sleuth!! Find similar items at TJMaxx! Be on the lookout and let me know what you find!!
