My love-hate relationship with AE is sort of like my schizophrenic vow to stop buying shoes – it never lasts more than a couple of months. I can’t deny that for the past two seasons they’ve done a much better job of re-vamping their product offering and have downplayed that eagle stamp (seriously people – I’m not paid to be your walking advertisement). Even hard-core fashionista site Refinery29 has given a graceful nod to AE (back away from the studded sweater – it’s MINE!)

For you South Bay locals, here’s an event that’s close to home! Billabong and Beachworks have teamed up at the Del Amo Mall to bring you a one-night-only shopping experience! You know that jacket that Bella wore in Twilight? Billabong. Yeah. You know….! P.S. Boy’s stuff is on sale too… More event info here.

Here’s a great excuse to get a jump start on your holiday shopping! Head over to The Shoppes at Chino Hills this Wednesday night and enjoy a complimentary makeover from Element Eden stylists, as well as exclusive discounts, fun games, and prizes! More event info here.

If you search the PacSun website you’ll find the world’s smallest banner, advertising that all sale items are an extra 30% off! Limited time only (who knows how long that is?) and the last time they had this sale, the hubby scored a sweet pair of jeans for $15….

Each week ROXY posts a free music download on their blog – this week’s ear candy is from The Very Best and features guest vocals by M.I.A. Not sure if I’m absolutely in love with this song, but maybe it will grow on me? Head to the ROXY blog to download.

And here are my $12.99 Target pair:

It’s hard to tell from the picture, but they’re pretty much the exact same flower pattern. Sweet. Picked up a pair of denim leggings too – also $12.99! LOVE. There are 187 leggings that show up when you search for them on Target.com – go crazy!

I have been SO good with my shopping as of late… I was finally getting used to my new and improved budgetary living, and then the shoe companies (ahem! Piperlime!) just HAD to start harassing me again with sweet deals like this… I am currently waiting for my super badass Hollyn lace-up boots from Nine West to arrive in the mail, but if I were to buy something again today I’d be tempted to go after these babies:

There is no way that I have enough pennies for these killer kicks… I’m more enraptured with the thought that mine and my husband’s initials make such a rad logo. LF stores x Jeffrey Campbell. Found via Bleachblack.
