Alley Cats – Shopping in the Fashion District

Starbucks + Mc Donalds French Fries = Belly

Since I had to pick up Jude from his dad’s early, we decided to make a day of it and just go shopping. Me and my roomie Crystal are undercover drag queens and wear false lashes almost everyday. When we are running low we talk about where we can get the best deal.

It used to be IMATS but this year was a FAIL. I posted about the Fashion District in downtown Los Angeles before, but I didnt have the info for the place I got cheap eyelashes from. I made sure I got it for you guys this time haha. Here is her business card:

We went nuts! We each picked up 30 pairs.

Here is a little peek into the alley, well one of them because they are all over the place down here. Its cramped and usually smells like hot dogs haha. I love it. I think it was more exciting when I was younger because I feel like its just as expensive as Forever21 and stores like it.

Look at these Jeffrey Campbell Inspired booties! I was so excited to see them, Ive been eyeballing them. My boyfriend hates them, I saw them on a girl on Main Street in Huntington Beach wearing them with shorts and I had to have them.

Then I saw them on Dulce and I was like ahhhhhh if she has them, we have similar taste most of the time, I knew I had to get them. When I checked sites online they were very pricey. These inspired ones honestly look more wearable and were over $100 cheaper 🙂 *baller on a budget dance* There were shoes every where! The great thing is…you can bargain with shop owners for lower prices and better deals (buy 2 get 1 free or 50% OFF) dont be shy to ask!

Me and my honey. He loves going downtown because he gets a treat of some sort and almost always a bubble gun. 🙂

These next pumps reminded me of the shoedazzle false advertisment ads on Facebook of fashy the Gianmarco Lorenzi ‘Disco Ball’ Platform Pumps that has everyone searching the site for shoes that are $2800+. These are obviously not covered in Swarovski Crystals, they are the cheap inspired version.

I had them fill Jude’s sippy cup (from Walmart $2) with a raspado aka slushie. It was soooo hot.

I thought I was gonna go a whole 4 blocks without seeing bunk MAC makeup…nope! There it is. Selling “Wonder Woman” and “Hello Kitty” collection products including BH cosmetic style palettes as MAC Cosmetic products. FYI its all fake and MAC has never sold 88 color palettes.

Jude was overdue for his nap so we cut our adventure short. We stopped to grab a quick bite, and a staple in the Fashion District, “Alley dogs” Yummy!
