Forever 21 quick haul!!!

This weekend I went on a quick shopping trip to pick up a few new items for my upcoming trip to NYC.  I am so excited and will keep you posted on how the trip.

This dress was only $20.  I thought it would be great paired with a pair of tights and cute grey booties.  Hopefully I will get to wear this to a Broadway show...at least that's the plan.

I picked this up because it is so versatile.  You can wear it with flats and a button down for a more business-like occasion or with heels and a flirty top to go out at night.  

To be honest the only reason I bought these jeans was because they are only $10.50.  I just couldn't believe they are so cheap.  My only complaint is that they are a little short...but for about $10 I figured it was worth it to give them a shot.  They fit well and are a great basic pair of skinny jeans.

               

Jewelry happened to be 30% off so I picked up these awesome earrings and a bow necklace because I am obsessed with bows.  I think both pieces of jewelry costs a total of $5.  Which I loved.

Let me know if you did any shopping this weekend.  Have a great week!

Breast Cancer Awareness

Hey guys!!!
In honor of breast cancer awareness month I wanted to show you my favorite 3 products that support breast cancer research.

I am in love with this cute pj set.  Forever21 is donating 10% of purchase price from all of their breast cancer merchandise.  It's adorable and cheap!!!

I got this from HauteLook.com.  It was only $15 and $10 of it went to the foundation BCRF.  It's a small way to make a difference.

My final favorite is this philosophy set.  You can get it from philosophy.com or ULTA.  $5 of the purchase goes towards research.  It's a really good smelling set.

Let me know what you think of all these products, and let me know what products to try!!!! ~liveoutloud

Super Cute Brunch Outfit...inspired by Blair Waldorf

Alright sorry it has been so long since I posted my first entry...school is just around the corner so I have been quite busy.  Anyway I have been really excited to show my inspired Blair Brunch look because I think it is so cute and perfect for anything from an Easter Brunch to a lunch date with the girls.  For those of you who do not know what the outfit looks like it is right here...

Unfortunately her outfit is way to expensive for my college budget, but I have found a few simple chic alternatives that make just as cute of an outfit.

                                                                   









      White lace dress www.hm.com only $34.95                                                               
   

                                                             

Peep toe shoes www.agacistore.com $32.50

Fishnet tights. www.forever21.com $5.80

Black or grey.  I really like how the grey looks.

Upper east side bracelet.  www.forever21.com

$5.80

This is the basic look for Blair.  For the full look I would loosely curl your hair and add a white miss matched lace headband.  You can also add more pearl bracelets and a pair of earrings.

So that's the whole outfit for under $100.

Hope you liked it.  Let me know if you want anymore Gossip Girl or other show's outfits.

Welcome...

Hey.  First thanks so much for visiting my blog.  It means so much that you are willing to visit, now that I finally have the courage to start a blog.  I figure worst case is that it will be one of the millions that is never read by anyone but myself. 

But anyway, I created LiveOutLoud14 due to my love of travel, adventure, and shopping celebrity inspired and vintage outfits on my very limited budget.  I am a college student studying Economics so hopefully the more I learn, the more I will be able to share about personal finance, budgeting, looking great on a budget, and most importantly going out and trying new things on a budget. 

My first look is going to be from Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl.  It is from the Pretty Wild Brunch episode.  I was obsessed with that dress and have finally found one that looks really similar.  More to follow...continue to LiveOutLoud
