I have a talent for flipping through a gossip magazine in record time (especially at those most crucial moments aka waiting in the monstrous check-out line at Target or sunning by the pool for an afternoon). So how does this make me different from any other twenty-something girl in today’s celebrity obsessed culture, you might ask? Well, not only do I truly read them in record speed (we’re talking mere minutes maybe even seconds), but I also read them in reverse … as in back to front. Yes, it really is a gift (or at least I like to tell myself that it is).
But even more than catching up on the latest Brangelina news (Are they legit headed for Splitsville?! And what about Brad’s alleged late night “rendezvous” with Jenn?! … I love seeing what my favorite celebrities are wearing! My photographic memory soaks up each and every picture … inspiring my next outfit combination or new purchase.
I have to admit, though, my gift for speed reading (combined with my photographic memory) isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Unfortunately, there was that one time a check-out clerk scolded me as I attempted to tackle several magazines at once, saying, “You know, you do have to pay for those before you read them.” Not my proudest moment … even after I did what any girl in my shoes would do: I reassured her that I was a modern day Goldilocks … merely flipping through the issues to decide which one was right for purchasing!
Perhaps, the biggest drawback to my hidden talent, however, is that I always end up a little disheartened when I put an issue down. Like the majority of fashionistas out there, I crave the latest looks and designer pieces from Hollywood’s A-listers … but have a very limited budget (even more so these days). Take the two-tone Chanel flats Cameron Diaz has been wearing while out and about in NYC. Justifying them? Fuhgeddaboudit! I can’t even afford them! So what’s a girl to do?!
Well, lucky for me, one of bevello’s independent designers, Foxy Originals, is here to help! Foxy Originals offers stylish, affordable jewelry seen on quite a few celebrities (just enough following to make it cool and not overdone). Trust me, I’ll be stocking up on these items to compliment my summer (and early fall!) wardrobe. And you should, too! After all, it’s not often that we can score the exact same piece that a starlet is wearing … without breaking the bank! Designer duds plus extra money (thank you sale price!) for a night out with the girls?! Another reason why bevello is your one-stop online fashion boutique!
