oval arty.

the original : YSL Iconic Oval Arty ring US$ 250

the chain store: Sportsgirl Art Noveuo ring AUD$ 16.95

the copy: La Dama Knuckle Finger ring US$ 35.00

like every other blogger we too have been coveting the YSL oval arty ring but not only is it sold out everywhere but it is also a bit out of our budget so we did a bit of research and when we spotted these chic steal versions we just about squealed with delight! now do we go with the chain store version... or get the copy and hope no one can tell the difference ?? decisions decisions 

we've got some more luxe for less posts coming up so if your on a budget like us at the moment but still want those must have fashion items like the YSL oval ring make sure you're following GI jones you can do it by clicking our new bloglovin' widget we'll love you for it, and hopefully your bank account will love us.

best buys 2010 I. jones

here are I. jones best buys from 2010. she had trouble choosing what her favourite thrifted buy was so she settled with the best value thrifted purchase this Lacoste sport retro small roll bag purchased in brand new condition from an op shop for only $5 that's a saving of $80 amazing! this little sport bag is perfect for overnight stays or the gym. her favourite accessory buy was equally as hard to decide on so she thought she'd share instead her favourite accessories from christmas this Thomas Sabo pearl charm bracelet and a new silver hummingbird charm from her bf and you might recognize the sportsgirl crystal ring in the photo from our wish list post it seems santa must also be reading :) and finally her number one buy of 2010 you might have guessed was also a gift from her bf her cute mini diana camera expect more photos on the blog soon.

T. jones' best buys post up next as well as our first prediction for trends in 2011.

luxe for less.

   

we showed you the Billy Bride rings we have been lusting after in our wish list post, well looks like our wishes might be coming true this christmas at just a fraction of the price! sometimes its hard to justify paying $395+ for what could be considered an undoubtably beautiful but fad trend ring well sportsgirl to the rescue you can pick up these crystal rings from just $19.95 and we know what your thinking they are nowhere near the same quality but in all fairness for less than one tenth of the price you cant expect the same craftsmanship. at this price we suggest you buy a few and wear them all this summer for a hot look like this one we spotted on swagger 360.

what we're also loving from sportsgirl are their turquoise pieces like this ring and hand armour similar designer pieces we've spotted on two of our favourite blogs studded hearts and swagger 360
