10 Under $50: Art that Pops!


Art that pops! (On A Budget)

Hi! It's Annette from A Vintage Splendor, and in my weekly column I'm sharing chic tips for the budget home. This week, it's all about art you'll love (and your wallet will, too).

As a former Gallery Director, art plays an important role in my life whether it’s catching the latest show or decorating my home with the works of up and coming artists. When decorating a space, it is always on the top of my list of items to shop for and add to the mix.

Spot the Real: Goyard Monogram Tote

Ok, so this "spot the real" would be easy as pie in person, but let's have some fun with it and see if you know your designer bags just by the print - can you spot the real Pre-Owned Goyard Monogram Linen Saint Louis GM Tote Bag ($1,399 at BLUEFLY.COM) below? (The steal is just $35, a fun pick for fall - and it's one of Refinery29's fall picks, too - see their love list here). Click either image below to check your guess!

Budget Beauty Buy of the Week: COVERGIRL + Olay The Depuffer


Budget Beauty Buy of the Week

In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly beauty products that are available online and in-store. Also make sure to check out my blog, HonestlyJamie.com for even more beauty product reviews and tips.

COVERGIRL + Olay The Depuffer is one of those concealers that just makes me happy. For one, I love a good brand collaboration and since Olay teamed up with COVERGIRL to create “The Depuffer” to combat dark circles and puffiness around the eyes, I’m really into it. Olay brings a little of their rejuvenating serum to the table plus cucumber extract to soothe puffiness while the metal tip applies the product in a massage-like way. It’s super cooling and refreshing to use, while also still doing the actual job of hiding dark circles. It’s a great buy, trust me, especially at only $11!

Are you Ready for Football Season? Gear Up in Style

Football Season Fashion Gear

I grew up in a sports family. Every year, once football season starts, the TV in our house is not available for about 75% of the week. Personally, I didn’t mind (you can’t go to the University of Oregon and hate football!) And I’m sure there are other Budget Babes out there who love the grit and thrill and competitiveness of football. Not everyone is a sports fan - don’t think that’s lost on me! But maybe you are participating in a fantasy league for fun, or want to support your gridiron-obsessed significant other, or just join in the rowdiness with your guy pals. You can at least appreciate the Super Bowl feast no matter how you feel about the game! Either way, it’s that time of year to once again get into the football spirit and show some pride for your favorite college or NFL team. Obviously you can visit any sporting goods store or website to get your hook-up, but I’ve rounded up four options that are slightly more affordable—and WAY cuter!
