Shoes - Is It Worth It To Go Designer or Deal?

So from time to time (ok, more often than not) I look around online to see what the latest trends in shoes are (more admittedly for my own personal obsession). I found a really sexy pair at DSW that just struck a cord with me because of the contrasting vibrant colors. Then I realized I had very similar shoes. The only real difference to me was the price. Can you tell which is the designer brand ($999 to be exact) and which is the deal ($60)?

Holiday Nail Polish - Bargains from Target

     The easiest way to get ready for the holidays without breaking the bank, in my opinion, is by spicing up the colors in your nail polish collection. I was in the spending mood at Target one night and drifted into the nail polish section and ended up with these fabulous colors:

1. Brand: Essie, Color: “Trophy Wife” – $8 

     

     This color is in between the "turquoise & caicos" color and a brighter green they had available (I don't remember the name). I decided on this one because it is shimmery and just dark enough for the holidays (and I can use it now instead of waiting to use the T&C color for summer). I tried it  on my toes so far and love it. It's a mysterious dark turquoise that I can't stop looking at. 

2. Brand: Sally Hansen Insta-Dry, Color: “Co-bolt blue” – $4 

      I got this instead of Essie’s “Aruba Blue” , which they describe as a “frosty sapphire blue” – between the Essie and Sally Hansen, they are the exact same color and SH's is $4 less (hey, 4 bucks is 4 bucks) – already love it on my toes – shimmery, dark but not dark enough where u can’t see the bright blue color – just enough tint for the holidays! It's a bargain buy!

3. Brand: Sally Hansen Crackle coat, Color: “Fractured Foil 03” – $6 

      I tried this on top of the cobolt blue – love it!  The crackle coat is all the rage right now and I see why - it's sooo fun and gives you a little extra something different - almost like an accessory in and of itself.
