Hello Readers! Sorry for the long break...this is my busiest time of year at work, but luckily there is an end in sight! I am coming up on the tail end of a very busy month, and I hope to have more time for LL4L soon!
In the meantime I am lucky to have my fabulous friends help me continue to live a luxe life for less!
Today I am presenting a new edition of "4 Items Under $50 and 1 Splurge Wish List!" Today's host, Alex, is one of my closest friends, who also happens to have fabulous taste, and always seems to find great bargains! Alex and I met 7 years ago when we started work at the same school on the same day. At the time our boss prepared both of us for our first introduction, and warned us that, "you two are VERY DIFFERENT!" My boss's warning scared me...how different could I be from Alex? Well it turns out that Alex and I could not have more in common, and we ended up going shopping the first day we met at the J. McLaughlin Outlet nearby! 7 years later, we still laugh that anyone could think that we were that different...we have so much in common from our favorite wine to our obsession with vintage Lilly shifts!
Here is Alex's Wish List with 4 Items Under $50, and of course 1 Splurge...

H. Stern DVF Sutra Bracelet, $9,800
Alex: I love this bracelet. My husband gave me the most amazing chunky gold link bracelet for Christmas a few years back. Its extra special because it belonged to his grandmother. I wear it almost every day and it really adds the final touch that polishes off any outfit.
