Savvy Shopper Files (3rd Edition)

Ok...this is probably the savviest shopping to date! I am constantly browsing different sites so I am always catching alike items or items that have the same look and feel.

I like to shop high, mid and low range dollar sites no matter what for inspiration or just to see what I can and can't afford! That is the great thing about having such accessibility at the tip of your fingers wit the Internet. See how the stats line up on these items!

Savvy Shopping Files

So I have posted before about  savvy shopping. Well I decided to introduce another one. Let's see how the stats line up on these "Ocean Ikat" prints from acrylic originals by artist and former textile designer Chariklia Zarris.

Big difference huh! Here are more of my favorite prints by this designer form art.com. Now, of course, the savviest thing to do would be to order your own prints from art.com and frame them yourself!
