Good morning upper east side welcome to your one and only source for the scandouls lives of Manhattan’s elite. Sorry had to slide that GG reference in! Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. Today’s post is about Forever 21 and how to get a glamed look for cheap. So I went to the mall looking for something to wear to a good friends birthday party. And I always find myself drawn to Forever 21 for “going out clothes” they are cheap and I’m not worried about them getting messed up. But Forever 21 is a scary place especially when you’re OCD and the whole store is always a wreck! The dressing rooms smell weird, clothes are all over the ground, tons of screaming people trying to find a way out of this mad house. Needless to say it’s like entering a jungle the terrain is rough but if you hunt long enough you find good stuff. So I ended up getting the hat in the pictures above because it was so cute and I have been wanting one forever! I also fell in love with several of the purses because I feel like you can never have too many cross body purses. Especially for the summer.
My advise when shopping in Forever 21 is always look for designer dupes so basically anything that looks expensive. Like the loafers for example, I love those! And I would have gotten them but I already have a pair of Clark’s that look just like them! They are a fraction of the price and they still look great. Btw my mom was obsessed with the black flare pants I have on and they were only $5 I also got the navy blue skirt which was only $9 it’s a great place to get clothes if you’re really into trends or just entering the work force. They had tons of blazers in all different colors that would be cute to throw on overs t-shirt.
I hope I have inspired you to embrace the madness of Forever 21, Happy Hunting!

Tonight I have put together a few of my favorite beauty products that are my ride or die, holy grail, oh my goodness can’t live without beauty favs! So first off are the Revlon matte lip colors these are my all time favorite drug store lippy colors, they are long lasting and smell amazing. I buy mine from Walmart because well I go to school in the middle of no where and the closest Ulta is 45 minutes away, also I’m a broke college girl balling on a budget so these $8 lippy colors are A1! Next up is the best eye shadow known to man, Bare Minerals, Nude Beach this eye shadow is so pigmented but not heavy and not to glittery I wear it pretty much everyday because personally I think it’s easy to put on especially if you don’t want to wear eyeliner but still feel glam. Side note I did however drop this eyeshadow this morning all over the floor and cried a little inside. This butter bronzer I got from CVS and is one of Jaclyn Hill’s favorites and well of course if she tells me to go buy some kind of make up on her YouTube channel I’m sold and have to go get it because she is like the prettiest woman alive. But this bronzer smells AMAZING I have gotten all my friends hooked it’s the best. Next is the snake skin Morphe brush case another recommended product by Jaclyn Hill it keeps your make up brushes clean and won’t mess them up, because you know when you’re traveling and you toss your brushes into a ziplock and then they get all misshaped and then they just don’t work the same. This little box is the answer and it lays flat how cool is that! Another Morphe product is the M439 best foundation brush it blends out your make up so beautifully and gives you a natural cake free finish. LIVE. LOVE. DIE. for this brush (haha). Finally, the Garnier Micellar Water removes eye make the absolute best and doesn’t burn at all! It helps get rid of any stubborn make up after washing your face and leaves your skin feeling fresh. I hope y’all enjoy some of my favorite things and have a great night!
