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.
(Having a Green Tea Frap and Mc Donalds French Fries)
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!
Jude likes his dogs plain, no bun either.

I picked up a purse hook, keeps your purse next to you hanging off the edge of the table while you are out at a restaurant.
I also got a hello kitty long sleeve crop top, the brown inspired booties, and a faux leather jacket.
Has anyone been to the alleys/Fashion District lately? What stores should we visit? What good deals/items did I miss?

OMG me & my sis are so excited to go on Sunday.
thanx for posting Sonia. I will definately be buying a basket of eyelashes lol.
Love yur finds:). But if yur looking for awesome deals on clothes and some shoes and dont mind giving up yur beauty sleep on Saturday's from 5am -11am u can get Clothes for as low as $1- $20 rain or shine u can also bargain with them. This is the stuff that didnt get sold n the alley's druing the week. I call it shopping the alley from the alley it's literally n alleys! I found stuff from f21,Dresses that r $20 at the mall, i've paid $8 n the alley. It's a must c to believe it. It starts on San Pedro n 12th street. Its blocks n blocks of pure retail therapy. So take comfy shoes cuz its exhausting! U won't be able to go thru everything! Good luck!
Just went yesterday loved it! Bought lashes too! 🙂
Wow, sounds like heaven haha. I wish we had something like this here in Norway. I have been eyeing those boots as well, found a website that sells inspired boots just like those and Im thinking about ordering a pair 🙂 They are perfect for fall 🙂
Love Christine ♥
I wish I could go there..I would buy alot of shoes. Your brown Booties are super cute.. Can't wait to see a picutre of you wearing them..and I love the hello kitty shirt..♥♥
Found your blog through your recent KKardashian makeup tutorial. Just wanted to tell you what a fabulous job you did with that….I like the fact you showed each product and tool up close, and didn't talk throughout the demo. The music was just fine. I think you nailed her look perfectly. Great job all around. Looking forward to viewing your other demos and your blog.
I have not been in this alley in 12years … the last time I was looking for my prom dress, a replica from the red dress that Kate Winslet used in Titanic.
Last time i was there was when i was getting married. good prices on wedding stuff. planning on going there sometime in november hopefully and will make sure to stop by adrina's. Thanks for the post. I'm not very familiar with the fashion district, id probably get lost if i wasn't with the husband =) LOL
I live in Utah and one time when I visted my familia in Cali. my cousin took me the alley's and I liked it. It is so different. Even the swamp meets they are huge. They make the swamp meet from utah look really tiny.(I say swamp meet cause we only have one)
