Bits and Pieces from an Exhausted "Baller"

Hello my bougie brethren!

A little about my state of mind... I'm EXHAUSTED! From traveling to the chilly plains of Ann Arbor... to celebrating the birth of loved ones in DC... to braving killer winds and monsoon rains in Texas... the bb is beat!

But a few things inspired me to post... first and foremost... SALES SALES SALES! And all kinds of sales too... the nice thing about business trips is that I usually have a few moments to slip out and do some exploring... Ann Arbor was no exception and I was stunned to find Poshh is a fabulous boutique with a unique sense of style... and yes, they have amazing sales! Check them out on Facebook too!

While bumming around in my homie's abode (who is on a level of bougie ballin' fabulous I can't even describe... shout-out to Ms. Sai!)... I found a viritual treasure chest in ASOS Online. Run to the clearing rack folks... they have tons of goodies for women (clothing, beauty, accessories, etc.) and they carry men's clothes/items as well. I ended up purchasing this stunner:



and jazzing it up with an invisible belt and a pair of rhinestone open-toed sandals. **Remember to switch to US currency so you can see the price in dollars... not pounds!** Guys, click here to visit the men's section so you don't feel left out!

Great, isn't it? Just a brief self-plug here, check out the Bougie Ballin' on a Budget Facebook Group for regular updates on deals, steals, & bougie appeals :)

Given that I'm on the road, I also thought it'd be fun to do a "travel on a budget" post sometime next week. So if you have any suggestions for locales on a budget, let me know!

Cheers,
The BB

Bits and Pieces

Salutations my bougie brethren!

A few "bits and pieces" from the mind of the bougie baller:

*NYC Restaurant week is *not* to be missed. Megu was amazing. I urge you to check out restaurant week in your region.

*Online sample sales are the truth - and yes, the stock goes just as quickly as it does in real life.

*Check out ValStyle. She's taking men and women's shopping to the next level.

*'Tis the season to be bargain shopping... well at least until March arrives!

*Overstock.com is my secret weapon. So is ShopStyle.

*Thanks for the fashion week insight...

*Welcome back C. Dot!

*Be on the lookout for a Bougie Balling Facebook Group. Cliche? Perhaps. Constructive and productive? Always!

*Vote.

*Next post: "What Women Want: The Valentine's Day Edition"...
