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 […]

Uncharted Territory.....

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 […]

The New Man In My Life....

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 […]

Retail Therapy

So did I really NEED not one new pair of shoes but two? Technically the answer is yes! It’s sort of been a hell of a week. I’ve been really busy with the new job and its seems as though sleep and me time have been at a minimum. Adding to that, Diablo the Cold […]

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. […]

As Close To Camo As I Get

After nearly seven years of living in Tennessee something that I swore I would NEVER do has happened. I have gone Camo. Since the weather has decided to go all arctic on us comfy sweatshirts have been my thing. Can’t get enough of them. Target isn’t normally my go-to place when I’m treasure hunting but […]

Neon Kitty

  I hate cats. But I love this shirt.  1987 neon green isn’t really my thing either, but the lace and the fit of that blazer will make me go 80’s all day long. One of my favorite shopping strategies if to search the clearance rack right before the seasons change because nine times out […]

Almost The One That Got Away

You know what they say… “If you love something then let its go. If it comes back to you then it’s yours forever.” May sound odd but that is my shopping philosophy. I saw that dress about a month ago in Marshals and really wanted it, but I had just spent a bunch of money […]

Sex And The City Swag

  In the epic words of Carrie Bradshaw… “Hellooooooooo Lover!” I know that to some it may seem just a tad narcissistic to have your own name plastered across your chest in ghetto gold, but if its good enough for Carrie then its good enough for me 😉 I ordered mine from a really cool […]

Leather Cuts...

My title made it sound like I was about to give you a quote from 50 Shades of Grey or something. We’ll save that for next time ladies. For now I wanted to share with you this super cute leather cut-out tank that I found at Ross last week for $3.99. “Hi. I’m R!LEY and […]

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 […]

Gorgeous But Gotta Go :(

  Isn’t that dress stunning? Its and authentic A.b.s. feather & tulle cocktail dress that retails for $350 in stores.  With the gorgeous feathers and tiara applique it reminded me of Swan lake when I saw it! Check out the close up… Bet your wondering the reason for my title then huh? Well I have two […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Minty Fresh

I have been driving myself batty trying to find a pair of colored jeans that wont cost me a zillion dollars. Like I have said before denim is something I am more than willing to drop a little cash for. However I’m not thinking the pastel color phase is one that is going to stay trendy for […]

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, […]

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. […]

Scissor Happy...

I bet your wondering what I’m up to with that title. A few months ago I saw this dress at Ross for $20.00 and almost bought it. However at the time I didn’t really NEED a new cocktail dress so after a debate with my debit card I put it back. Then yesterday I was decided […]

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 […]

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 […]

Fall Fakers

The weather has finally decided to stop being that of Lucifer so I have a sudden urge for fall fashion. But i’ts not fall just yet so I figured I would fake it a little. We have a new weekly appearance at the local race track called Southland Park that I wanted to get something cute but […]

Boob Job Bra

What girl  doesn’t want to feel Two Times Sexy? To be honest I was recently on the hunt for a bra to give me the Dolly Parton look for an upcoming Vegas themed party that my friend is throwing for her husband’s birthday. I was wandering around Target looking for some of those chicken cutlet insert things when I […]

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 […]

Florida Floppies!

I seriously adore these big floppy beach hats! The fiance and I are taking a little vacation to Florida in a few weeks so I wanted to get some fun Florida friendly accessories. I’m not usually one for the big Kentucky Derby kind of hat but I figured if I could find a few for cheap that I would be game to […]

$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 […]
