Lucky FABB NYC Recap

Last week I was super pumped to attend the Luck Fabb conference in New York City will I was there with Tamara!  Lucky Fabb is a conference for Fashion and Beauty Bloggers hosted by Lucky Magazine!  They bring out the A-list designers and experts in the fashion industry.  

Mama's 1st Pair of Louboutins!

Yes Ladies you read it right!  I am now the proud owner of these babies!

They retail for $795!

I am only the owner of these because of this beautiful lady!  Dee and I have been BFFs since I was 9!

I bet you are wondering what happened?  Here is the story:

My girl Dee that lives in the Chicago suburbs (pictured above) called me on weekday afternoon.

Dee: So happy I caught you!

Me: Whats wrong? 

Dee: I think I found you some Christian Louboutins!

Me:  Huh? 

Dee: I'm at a thrift store!  And there are some here!  I am going to send you a picture.

I get the picture, OMG could it be?  I call her back.

Dee:  I think they are legit! I can't fit them, you want me to get em?

Me: Umm Yeah!

Guess who much she paid for them?????  $7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am thinking, get out there with those shoes as fast as you can!  How could there be REAL Loubs at a thrift store?  I forward the pictures to my other BF that owns a few pair to check them out.  She says they look good!  I'm like YES!  So I patiently wait for Dee to ship them to me.  Here they are!  My second child!



Once I got them I knew they were real.  The soles are leather.  Who puts a leather sole on a fake shoe?  The inside of the shoe is a butter soft leather as well.  But how did they end up in a thrift store.  So I start to do my research.  I google "How to Spot a Fake".  Everything checks out.  I still want it to be confirmed so I take them to the fabulous designer consignment shop for them to check out.  They don't see any flaws.  We have a winner! Can you believe it?  I am just so happy they are classic shoes

Mister has been laughing at me shinning and cleaning these shoes.  I am still in disbelief!  I have the most amazing girlfriends in the world that think of me when they find something so amazing.  Love you Dee! Too small or big, I would have chopped off a toe or something to wear these. 

So ATL, when you see me out with my $7 Louboutins don't hate : ) Just kidding, but really don't! LOL. What is you most unbelievable thrift store find?

Designer Consignment

I hit up The Finer Consigner in Johns Creek. It was like a Saks Fifth Ave return center!  Soon as I walked in I got hit in the face with Christian Louboutains, Gucci Boots, Chanel bags and Burberry trench coats! Dude, it's in walking distance from my house and I have never been in! This place has so many great things! If you are ever in Atlanta and want some red bottoms for half the price this is the spot. I will be getting my first pair from here.

I have been wanting this bag for like 5 years!  And it is here!  Problem is the seller is still asking a lot for this bag and it looks good but you can see she used it a lot.   Please pray she has a change of heart!

I love this suede Chanel bag.  It's really in great shape, this picture makes it look discolored but it is not.

 They had several David Yurman pieces.

Brand New Louis Vuitton booties.

 Those cork Louboutains have never been worn!

This boutique also has a authentic guarantee!  So if you go to Chanel and they tell you it is not real they will give you all your money back.

I made an investment in these bad boys!

These are Christian Dior Mary Janes!  These caught my eye when I was walking out the door!  I am just going to say you guys are probably going to get tired of me wearing these. 

Look at the bottom.  It doesn't even look like they were worn. I needed to invest in some  nice shoes.  They retailed for $825 but I got them for a small fraction of that price : ).

This "Green" shopping is working out nicely!  Between thrifting and Consignment you can really "Ball" on a budget.  What do you think?  Do you shop at consignment?  Do you consign?  Do you have any Gucci's you want to get rid of?  Email me : )
