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...

Project Runway 10-26-15 Final Part 1 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a Red Carpet look. Thoughts in the Workroom: I knew Edmond would get the save!! Edmond really did deserve it. Not coming in prepaired must put on so much pressure. Candice's red and white pants are SO cute! Wait, Ashley what is that stain remover stuff? I need that. Challenge: The designers will show the judges three looks from their collection for feedback. One of those looks would be created from scratch, in the workroom . Guest Judge: No one this week. Home Visits From Tim : Ashley: Tim visited Ashley's hometown where she revealed her Mexican heritage. Ashley is creating a plus sized collection. I think that it is awesome that she is going for it. There is such a need for quality, fashionable, plus-sized clothing. Ashley's mother supported her vision stating the importance of Ashley's vision. Tim praised Ashley for her innovation with her floral headpieces, however, he warned her that the judges may cal...

Project Runway 10-22-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a look inspired by the bridges of New York incorporating 3-D printed detailing. Challenge: The designers were flown to LA where the city served as their inspiration for a red carpet look. Thoughts In The Workroom: L.A has a Mood puppy! So cute. Ashley's fabric is very pretty. Edmond's fabric is gorgeous as well. Edmond No! Don't shorten! I hope Kelly's pants fit... Guest Judge: Christian Siriano Ashely: Boobs! Ashley picked a beautiful gold sequin fabric. However, the dress was not my favorite this week. Ashley's dress was floor length with a-symmetrical sleeves. On one arm, she had a long sleeve. The other arm, she had a spaghetti strap. The chest had a huge cut out between the sleeves that plunged down to her waist. The neckline was not flattering in my opinion. The judges were split on this look. Some of them thought that fabric was dated while others liked it. Heidi actually liked the very open c...
