Show Me The Booties!!!

I was talking about the booties that go on your feet. I’m good on being mooned at the moment. Seems like every time I write a blog here I want to start by apologizing for staying away so long. Why don’t we just make that a standing apology since I’m guessing it will happen again. […]

Merica.....

Ok….Ok. I know that summer is almost over and it way past Forth Of July but how cute are those YMI shorts? I love going into Ross at the change of the season and perusing the clearance rack for goodies. I mean for $6.99 why not?? At first I though they were a little hoochie […]

Sorry its been such a long time since I’ve posted anything. I really hate always apologizing for being MIA but a girl get busy sometimes. Life has been crazy but in a good way! Building my new radio show, getting acclimated here in Atlanta, and even finding a little time for a love life. Don’t […]

Michael Kors is officially my new boyfriend. I have been having quite the summer fling with him for the last few months. This little love affair that I have going on it actually approaching fatal attraction status rather quickly because I can’t seem to get enough. That beauty you see above is Michael and I’s […]

Sneaker Kicks

I’m not quite sure what’s happened to me lately but I have almost given up my signature stilettos for sneakers. Almost people. ALMOST! When I fist came to Atlanta I discovered this cute urban style boutique called “Wish” in the hipster area of town. Ive never been too much of a sneaker gal but when […]

Ruby Rocks

A few weeks ago I decided to get all spicey with my hair color and dyed it FIRE RED. It was actually an accident. You see I have done red before but not THIS red. The first time my hairstylist dyed it the color came through but not as bright as I wanted. So the […]

Spring Twerk

Does anyone else want to submit a complaint to Mother Natures’s customer service department? Thirty nine degrees tonight??? Seriously? I mean it was 29 degrees here in Atlanta last night and it’s almost April for goodness sake! I am willing spring to come by getting back into my workout routine and organizing my spring wardrobe. […]

Beauty Bits

Thought I would share a few of my lastest beauty go-to favorites…. Aveda Tourmaline Charged Exfoliating Cleanser For the longest time I was using a Chanel scrub that I was in love with but it seems like my face gets used to products every few years and they lose their effect. Time to switch things […]

Where Have RUE Been?

When I randomly saw a Rue 21 about 20 minutes away from my apartment yesterday my Cheap Diva Antennas went off!  I hadn’t yet seen one here in Nashville and I was sort of disappointed that one of my secret score dens was no where to be found. Rue 21 always has tons of clearance […]

Pirate Princess

I was digging through my jewelry box this morning and stumbled upon this ring that I had all but forgotten about. Believe it or not, this was a cheesy theme park gift shop find. I got it after I rode The Pirates of the Caribbean at Islands of Adventure for the first time back in […]

Booty Boosters

Spending money on something I’m going to sweat is always an issue for me. Is it just me, or are a decent pair of yoga pants just uber expensive? Whenever I’m shopping and see a hot pair of shoes verses workout pants…. Well you can just about guess what always wins. I spotted these in […]

Miss Me Done Cheaply

  I am a designer jean junkie! A few years ago I was gifted my first pair of Rock revivals and have been hooked ever since! They are a tad pricey but in opinion totally but worth it. Adding to my obsession with expensive jeans is the fact  that I have a rather odd butt shape. I […]

The Best Brush Since Sliced bread!

  I am IN LOVE with this little wonder brush! I usually buy hair styling tools with such high hopes only to be let down and left with a drawer full of do-dads that I don’t use. Hence my habits of being a product hoarder. The first time I discovered the Goody QuickStyle brush I was […]

MK...I'll Just Stare From Afar

Sigh. I am in love. I spotted this amazing Michael Kors watch at Ross the other day and all I old do was press my nose again the glass case and whine. I bet your noticing the price tag right now and wondering why I didn’t snatch this beauty out of the case, run to […]

Michael Kors for $2.99???

I had a seriously puzzled look on my face when I saw this Michael Kors chain link belt in the $2.99 clearance bin at Dillards. I for sure though it was put there by mistake and it must be $16.80 like the tag said. One of the first rules I learned in Cheap Diva College is ask […]

Easy. Breezy. Beautiful.

 Haha! My fiance was wishing me a Merry P!NK-MAS all weekend.  I thought this was so cute because for me the day of the P!NK concert may as well have been Christmas morning. I usually stress myself into more grey hairs over what outfit to wear to important events, so you can image how much […]

JCP? Is That You?

Lately I have been seeing all these JCPenny commercials where they are pulling a New Kids on The Block and calling themselves JCP. they show their $5 tees in comparison to other stores products that are more expensive. That is what Cheap Diva is all about so even though I usually have no desire to […]

My Sexy Buns

The sock bun movement has been in full effect on Pinterest for the past year and I’m all about it. However, this was a pin-fail when I tried to simulate the whole cutting up a tube sock thing. So how did I get the cute little muffin on the top of my head you ask? […]

Make That Mascara Last!

I am sometime skeptical when Pinterest will post something that claims to be an insta-fix for something, but this little trick actually worked! I am obsessed with my Chanel Mascara but I left it in my car one day, and it was just my luck that it was warm that day. By the time I […]

Oooooh Sparkly

The nail trend of glitter mania has been around for a minute and I must admit that until now I’ve sort of skipped this gravy train. I always get annoyed when I spend money on glitter polishes that never show up as awesome as they do in the bottle. I was in the Dollar General grocery mart […]

Cheap N Spicey

Is it just me or do spices and herbs seem to be uber expensive? I really would love to have a fresh herb garden but with my brown thumb I would most likely kill it. I needed some herbs for this potato recipe that I found on The Pioneer Woman (awesome site for cooking) and was […]

Little Eternities

How adorable is this little dainty eternity band? Thanks to Lauren Conrad I have been obsessed with simple stackable rings. I’m not sure if the stones are real, but its .925 sterling silver and it was only $12.99 with shipping! I need another ring like I need a hole in my head, but I’m so in love with it […]

Wen or "Worth It" ?

So I have no problem admitting that I hate my hair. Its kinky, curly, and impossible to to work with. Adding to my hair issues I have been guilty of excessive dying and being irresponsible with my trimming habits. In fact its because of this that hair products are usually one of the very few things I […]

Cheap American Glamour

It is a well known fact that I am often guilty of shopping for myself during Christmas time but to my credit, I have been looking for a trench coat like this for FOREVER!  My sister is a stylist for HSN and they have an outlet store in Florida that is a must on the agenda whenever I […]

$5 Devil

.So Halloween is usually a bid deal for me when it comes to the selection of my costume, but this year I wasn’t really into spending the money on it. Plus I did’t have any plans so that was ay-ok with me to not have to worry about obsessing over finding the perfect look. Well […]

With this Ring....

It is a known fact with me that when I decide that I’m into a certain style I become borderline obsessive about it. My current fashion lust is stackable rings. All of those rings you see in the pic above I already had in my jewelry box but like any good OCD fashion stalker I decided that I had to have just one more.   How gorgeous is this dainty little […]

Going Green...AGAIN

Well, my first color obsession this summer was tangerine and now I think it’s becoming teal/green. I already bought a shirt like this in beige so I felt bad buying another one but this color is just so stinking pretty! Plus the price was right 🙂 And me being the shopaholic that I am I decided to […]

A LOT more for a LOT Less

Can you tell that tangerine has been my color obsession for my summer wardrobe? Both of these tops are super cute right? Great color, great fabric, great detail in the back….. But there is one very big difference between them and I bet you can guess what I’m going to say. Actually let me back […]

Cheap Man Stuff

Sorry for the blurry picture. I was trying to take this while wrapping the fiance’s birthday presents in my closet. There is something I have noticed that every woman inherits when she gets the ring on her finger. That is the divine right to have the sole responsibility of buying her man all of his underwear, socks, […]

What...You want how much for that?

Don’t you just love our new couch! The fiance and I got to upgrade our apartment to a three bedroom so we could have more space. You know what that means. New space means new stuff! Our old apartment was nice but it looked a little hodge-podge because the decor was a strange mix if […]

Louisiana Pickers

How gorgeous is this 1940’s vintage necklace?!? The picture doesn’t even begin to do it justice.  I’m a sucker for anything vintage and I love the grey-ish blue colors of the pearls. The last time the fiance and I went to visit his family in Louisiana I dragged him to the antique shops in town. […]

Cheap Rocks!

Rock Revivals are by far my all time favorite brand of jeans. However, I’m not such a fan of the price even if they are worth it. They usually run about $140-$170 bucks. I went the mall today to visit a friend of mine that works in Dillards. Mind you I had no intention of […]

New Playground!

I was ultra excited when I saw the saw that this new store Love Culture was coming to the mall!! To be honest I had never heard of it but with a name like that it was at least worth a little look-see. At first glance inside the store I got a little fashion tourette syndrome with […]

This Dress Says...I'm 30!

The fiance took this pic with his Iphone before we went downtown to celebrate my 30th with friends. For him to do this without me prompting him is a rarity so when he does you know it’s a good look 🙂 .To celebrate the big 3-0 I knew I wanted something different and of course hot! And to be honest […]

I Taught Him Well!

When I first introduced my fiance to my cheap ways he was appalled! My apologies  for the Cheap Diva humor :). I’m a bit of a nerd from time to time. But seriously though, the first time I took him to one of my favorite discount stores he turned his nose up immediately and said […]

Don't Be Afraid To Fix It!

How adorable is this little halter corset number! Normally I don’t go for this style shirt because they never seem to fit me they way I want them to. But this was on the clearance rack so I thought it was worth a shot to try it on. Much to my surprise it fit great! Then I noticed this….. The […]

Vacation Steals Cont....

How cute is this little Lola Romper that I found at the outlet mall in Florida?? Even more adorable is the price! I got this at the BCBG store for a whopping $8 bucks! To be honest I don’t think the sales girl wanted to give it to me at that price. I would NEVER pay retail […]

Cheap Diva Vacation Edition

It always happens that when you go on vacation you abandon your sense of finding the perfect deal. You look at the price tag and say “Eh! I’m on vacation.” No, no, no! I just went to visit friends and family in Florida over the Forth of July weekend. Florida is one of my shopping meccas because there are so […]

It doesn’t exactly make for any easy summer of trying to fit into the bathing suit of my previous post if ya know what I mean. […]

Bachelorette Bathing Suit

So there’s me in a simple little bikini. Nothing wrong with simple right? Blaaaaaaaaaah! Boring! I do love the price that I got for it though. I got it at Forever 21 for a whopping $10 bucks! I wanted to give it a little sprucing up so when I wore it to our pool Party at Harrah’s in Tunica […]

$2 Dollar Make You Holler!!!

Geez! You would think with the name of this blog and my latest title that there is something seedy going on here. Hah, rest assure that I’m not a fashion hoochie mama. Well come to think of it with the price that I payed for this dress I sort of am.  It came with the […]
