Splurge VS Steal: Zimmermann Bikini

splurge: Zimmermann vs steal: Target.

In light of this week’s Miami Mercedes-Benz Swim Fashion Week, today’s Splurge vs Steal is all about the bikini! Aside from whatever many people think of Target and their bikinis, I love them! They’re very affordable and up to the current trends… As you can see.

Now, are the Target bottoms more “full coverage” than most popular (expensive) brands? Yes, that’s why most of us women are willing to spend a little more cash to make sure our back end looks on point. But I’ve noticed that they’ve gotten a lot better with that. I’ve been able to find a few that don’t look like I’m wearing a diaper or make my butt disappear.

Living in a beachy city, you can never go wrong with “too many” bathing suits. So it’s a winning steal for me!

Splurge VS Steal: Christian Louboutin Spiked Pigalle Pump

I’m in LOVE with the spiked trend! But you know me, my wallet doesn’t always agree. Especially when I found the Christian Louboutins. But have no fear my poor little soul, GoJane has got just what I’m looking for. For less than $40 I couldn’t dare think twice.

Splurge VS Steal: Christian Louboutin & Steve Madden

splurge vs steal: Steve Madden SHOWTIME

I’m most familiar with the Louboutin pair thanks to the Kardashian girls. I loved the chunky platform but not the $600+ price. As most of you know by now, I went on my usual hunt. I found a similar pair from Steve Madden, but something in me wasn’t 100% satisfied. So I continued to search, and here my friends Forever 21 won my heart over!

They just arrived in the mail and they’re gorgeous! Can’t wait to wear them out. Keep your eyes posted, they’ll be making their appearance pretty soon.

Floral Frenzy

top: Forever 21 (similar). pants: ASOS (similar). flats: Old Navy (similar). necklace: Ohm Boutique. watch: Nixon.

I’m so glad I was able to get these pants before they sold out. The floral pants trend is really fun and actually versatile (a contradicting belief to many). These pants are piece that can go from the office to a casual day or night out. I do wish I would’ve splurged and bought the matching blazer.

Have you tapped into the floral frenzy yet?
