~Superstar Style...at a Pauper's Price~



aSalaam uAlaikum and Good (very early) Morning My Stylish Sisters!

I know, I know...where have I been?  Why has it taken me soooo long to get back with you lovely ladies?

Well honestly I have no good answer to that.  I could say my life is a little crazy right now, but let's be honest- whose life isn't?

So, instead I will offer a sincere apology, pour you a cup of peppermint tea and get started.

As all of you ladies know, there is NOTHING I love more than a fabulous find at a friendly price.  That's why I was overjoyed to find sooo many amazing accessories out there right now that won't leave me eating Top Ramen for a week after buying them.  There is absolutely no reason not to look your best this summer when there are such beautiful bargains out there!  Here are a few of my absolute favorites:

Et Tu, Brutes?

Can you believe that these fabulous sandals are only $29.99?  Available at Target.com they are by designer Cynthia Vincent and were previously available in Cognac (as pictured) and Yellow (which is now sold out).  I can't think of a better combination than gladiator sandals (LOVE!) and sky-high wedges (DOUBLE LOVE!)


Boho Beach Bag

Oversized and slouchy, this bag can go from the beach to a night out with the hubby! The perfect combination of dressy (with all the ethnic-inspired beading and embroidery) and casual (it's canvas!)  It's only $23.80 and is available at Forever21.com.


Cuff 'Em
Ok, wow!  These supersized beaded bangles come in various colors and can be easily paired with any outfit from a plain white tunic and khakis, to a beautiful bohemian skirt and heels.  Perfect for a coffee date with your closest girlfriends, or a real date with your soulmate, these bracelets look high fashion, but are available at the super low price of $28.00 at Athleta.gap.com.


A Little Bling
Ok, so it's a lot of bling, but for only a few bucks! You all know my obsession with cocktail rings, and what makes this one amazing is it's combination of a vintage feel, with a supersleek modern design.  Perfect with that brown abaya and cream scarf, or denim skirt and tunic this ring is the perfect pairing of bling and elegance.  What could make it even better? It's only $25.00 and is available at Topshop.com.



From sky-high Caesar sandals, to boho-princess bangles, this summer's styles are both super chic, and super cheap.  And really, what could be better than that? 

Ma'Salaama and Happy Bargain Shopping!

Fashionably Yours,
The (checkbook-balancing) Mujahada in Prada

waAlaikum asSalaam waRamatullahi waBarakatuh habibti! Yay!!! It's so nice to have you back and posting! Alhamdulilah! I love those shoes and that bag and the prices are amazing! I'm not too much into bracelets or rings because my wrists and fingers are so small, but if they were average sized, I would LOVE them too! LOL Keep posting habibti, I have missed reading your posts! <3 Masalaama
