Hello loves, I have another online find to share with you that came across my current shopping ventures.

Across the fashion blogosphere there has been a major obsession over the artistic YSL Arty Ovale ring, which came in popularity over like two years ago around 2011-ish. This designer treasure piece retails around the price of $290.00 and can be found here.

The ring has many fashion-enthusiasts with a need to have a one or two of this ring. Why?

This ring exhibits raw textural and artistic rendering with a unique sculptural design and form creating a beautiful ring that transitions a feel of modern and old-world charm.

Honestly, anyone would want this ring on their hand and in their jewelry box. I know I would for sure, someday. Currently, some of people cannot afford to splurge a large sum of money on a beautiful ring.

Thankfully, many dupes/look-a-like rings have been made to allow people on a budget to get the same look of the arty ring at the fraction of the cost. Being a college student and smart-bargain shopper I was able to find a dupe real close to the real arty ovale ring. The dupe ring has been one of my recent purchases, and I love it!!!

One of my favorite online stores Tobi.com has a YSL arty inspired rings on their site called Stone Cold Ring is selling at a wonderful price of $14.00, now $7.00 on sale. The quality of the faux ring is great and looks very close to the real thing, plus is wallet friendly. The ring can be found here.

You can even find cheaper options on ebay from here.A major plus from some ebay seller’s is free shipping and handling, which can help someone on a tighter budget.

I’m extremely happy with my dupe ring purchase, it goes along with many of my outfits and I did not have to bruise my bank account to buy a small piece of art.

Feel free to check out the links, enjoy this find loves!

Have fun smart shopping!

I’ve been looking for the perfect work/party/everyday shoe that can easily transition from day-to-night. Guess what loves? I found it!! 

You can always count on Zara to create a fabulous set of shoes and clothes at affordable prices. I love this COURT SHOE WITH STUDDED CAP TOE, it has two qualities that I always look for in a shoes, functionality and simplicity with a little drama, my wardrobe is pretty basic and minimal on the boho side. Plus my current obsession with metallic has made this shoes the perfect choice.

In addition, this shoes has the perfect heel height for girls who are everyday heel-wearers. The shoe’s height is a lovely 3.54 inches, seriously there is no need for a person to worry about falling over in them.  The shoe is priced at the price of $99.99, but with Zara’s free shipping and handling I’m not complaining!  You can find these babies (here).

I see myself in these shoes in a little black dress to a cute pair of jeans, cream colored blouse with a glitter collar, and a red blazer. Honestly, can’t wait to get my paycheck!

Enjoy the online find, have fun smart shopping!

Feel free to comment and share links and thoughts.

My current obsessiveness is with metals and crystals is something a little unhealthy. This links back to my fascination as a child with shiny and cool textural looking things. I love the look of jewelry which is minimal and organic to its natural form. I found these cool necklaces online that you can purchase from this cute etsy shop( here). 

The price is $22.10, which I think is a steal or usually these types of necklaces can be twice of much of this price. The crystal is clear and comes in a necklace in two metal tones (Gold and Silver). Supply is limited from this seller, I’ve ordered mine already. Feel free to check out this online find.
