One of my favorite blogs/people to pretend I'm IRL friends with in a delusional, internet loser sort of way is
Carlye of Awkward City. Not only does she do my VERY favorite
GIRLS recaps, but every once in a while she will post a juicy money saving/extreme couponing tidbit. And you
KNOW my exploitative little heart loves those... first, how to get tons of stuff for under $10 from
Bumble & Bumble's website during Cyber Monday; and most recently, the heads up that
Moda Operandi was
essentially giving away $100 credit with no fine print. Enough said.
I browsed and browsed the site, looking for anything under $100 I could swing for free; but ended up settling with this
gorgeous Aurelie Bidermann ring for a mere $20 -- no tax, no shipping costs, no a penny over $20!
It came a few days later, wrapped in the most extravagant packaging (thank
you Moda Operandi!), and I have never been prouder of an extreme couponing buy. Muahaha!!
Exhibit A: Savings.
Exhibit B: Beautiful.
Exhibit C: Instagram gorgeousness.
