Window Shopping Wars: Urban Outfiters vs Blue Ivy

Hey guys! Welcome to my new mini series Window Shopping Wars! In this series, I am basically going to compare my shopping experience at the stores that I visited and shopped in. On this occasion, I had like no money on me and did not end up purchasing much but I did take pictures of a bunch of the stuff that I would have bought if I did have money. For this post, I chose to compare two stores that I have previously shopped in. Stay tuned for the next post in the series which will feature two stores that are brand new to me. So, without further a do, lets get started

Urban:
So need I say that everything at Urban is way over priced? Probably not. Aside from that, I am usually a big fan of Urban because they have such cute and unique stuff. However, on this particular trip, there was only a few pieces that stood out to me as special and out of the ordinary.

This piece was a tan cropped high low top. I think that this top is so interesting and I would deff want to try it and see how it can be styled to look great. I'm thinking possibly a very very high waisted jean with a belt? and some combat boots or heels depending on whether you want to dress it up or down. In addition, I would deff pack on the arm candy with this outfit and include a brown bag.



Another interesting find I made in Urban was in the beauty category. There was a bunch of different perfumes and products from a different country in the cutest packaging. These were the sample products but I did not try any of them as I was not sure exactly what some of them were and/or how to use them. With that said, I think that they would be a nice beauty try if you are looking to explore something new.



For all the girly girls out there, this gray skirt would be a perfect edition to your wardrobe. (Ps, if your a PLL fan, does this totally look like something Ali pre-disappearance would have worn?) I think that this skirt is so flirty and fun and it would be great for date night or any mixer event where you wanted to bring out your feminine side.

Blue Ivy:
Blue Ivy had much better prices than Urban...lets be honest...it always does. I actually did make a purchase here but ironically, I do not have a picture of it. The item that I bought was a pair of earrings that were fake diamond in a diamond shape. They are studs and are supper cute and I was looking for something like this and was SO happy to find them!! Not to mention...they were only $3!!

Outside the store, I saw this display piece which I had to photograph for you guys because it captured a fashion trend that I have been seeing so much this season. Vests! My mom actually bought me the cutest red one to go with a white shirt and I will totally show it in a style video soon. BUT I have seen vests all over campus and this one was a cute one that I saw at Blue Ivy.

Overall for Prince, I would say that Blue Ivy won this round. Despite not finding as much as I would have liked to find in Urban, I am going to have to give it the win for this round just because I did real find the shirt very interesting and I love unique pieces.
That is all for today's episode of Window Shopping Wars. Check back for another episode soon!

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

Best Sustainable Brands of 2023

 Hey Fashionistas! Recently, I have been trying to make better fashion/beauty choices for the environment so I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. None of this is sponsored (although, if you're one of the brands I mentioned- hi and please feel free to reach out). Garnier: I wanted to start out with Garnier because they are not only an environmentally friendly brand but they are also my favorite beauty brand of all time. Garnier is a holy grail for me. I discovered this brand when they were featured on Project Runway many years ago and they completely changed my confidence. I use so many of their products on my hair: Mouse, Curl Cream, Hair Spray, Hair Gel, Shampoo, Conditioner, Conditioning Masks, etc.  Recently, I have switched from the traditional shampoo bottle to the shampoo bar and I am so glad that I did. I still get that Garnier glow to my hair while using less unnecessary plastics. Other Garner Fructis shampoo and conditioner bottles are made partly fr...
