Sewing can be frugal, but it can also be hellacious expensive. I’ve been swinging both ways with it.  I’m working on a TOP SECRET FOR MY EYES ONLY project that will be revealed to your eyes sometime in August.  That endeavor is awesome, and awesomely frugal.

But I’m trying to learn how to sew.  Well, learn how to sew better.  So that means I went to the fabric section at Walmart. (BTW, they are closing a lot of those.  That is sad.  Maybe if THEY knew of my newly kindled interest in sewing they wouldn’t.  But there is still one Walmart in the vicinity with a fabric section; apparently that one will remain for the moment).

Woo doggies, I got some major sticker-shock-itis.  I guess it has been a long time since I’ve been in a fabric store.  Patterns are really expensive now.  And fabric and thread, too.

But then I kind of got lucky when I had I private moment with my brain and we got together and came to an honest assessment of my sewing-skill level.  Yep.  I’m just a beginner, really. Continue reading →

Like hip hop music, its merchandise is also popular than ever before. Women and men of all ages, sizes and shapes love this hip music, culture, and clothing. People who are familiar with hip hop realize that part of pop is related to extravagance, not getting frugal.

“Every woman should own three pairs of shoes: high heels, flat shoes, and Havaianas.” – Christian Louboutin

Well, well, Mr. Louboutin, if you say it then it must be so. This past summer I was lucky enough to try out my first pair of Havaianas, a way popular brand of flip flops.
I own at least 60 pairs of flip-flops. I’m not exaggerating – you know my love for shoes runs deep, and flippie-floppies are no exception. That being said, I have pairs scattered everywhere: in my purses, cars, bedroom, backyard, wherever and whenever. Comfort and variety is key; I need a color to match every outfit/purse/accessory I own, and I need them to feel like clouds, especially after an 8+ hour stretch in heels.

While Havaianas aren’t THE MOST comfortable brand I’ve ever tried, they’re up there. I’d give them 4/5 stars, because after walking around downtown LA all day they started wearin’ and tearin’ on the inside of my toesies. Continue reading →
