James Victore Art Sale = Be Still Beating My Heart

James Victore Art Sale = Be Still Beating My Heart

Go here. Buy now.

So I am an art slut. It's ok, I've come to terms with it. I am a whore for paintbrushes, ink smudges, and people's personal creations that I feel call my name. I might not be knowledgeable enough to sell it, but I am knowledgeable enough to waste all my disposable income on it. Lucky me!

I am also promiscuous in my pursuit of a good deal. I sign up for all the private sale sites and am always searching for a newer, better way to get the fancy stuff I want with the mere pennies I have.

Most recently I signed up for Fab.com a private sale site that specializes in specialty home decor, art. etc.

Holy crap, I think I'm in love. Today they are featuring something I just had to share.

Art Prints by James Victore! One of my favorite graphic designers. I think his work speaks so much to the dualistic role of design to create aesthetically pleasing art, and also communicate a message. Most of James prints for sale on Fab.com are some sort of advertisement designs, from subway ads to wine labels. And yet I would love to hang one in my home.

Sadly I can't afford even the discounted prices being offered. UGH! But please, someone take advantage of this.  Or if you love me (hint hint fiance, friends, family, or the secretly enamored) I do have a wedding coming up, and I hear rumors that people buy you stuff for those things. . .

Foray into Online Shopping

Foray into Online Shopping

Recently I was introduced to a dangerous new drug. The high is great. The lows are low. The withdrawls are downright painful. The addiction is immediate and when your in the midst of it, you are willing to sacrifice your first born child to get more of it. 

Now don't go planning an intervention for me, I want this. I have discovered the joys of online shopping (particularly private sale site shopping) and there's no going back for me.  I'm committed. It's not really a past time anymore, its a lifestyle.  And holy hee-haw do I love it.

I thought I'd post some recent steals for you to be jealous of enjoy. Please check out Beautyticket.com where I got the shadows, and Macy's online sales are consistent and great.  I also suggest looking into private sale sites as they rock! (My first order will be arriving soon and I'll post once I'm sure it's all good :)

  Saw it in the store for $79.99. Waited until it went on sale on the Macy's website to $39.99. Used the rest of my gift card and only paid $19.99 out of pocket. YES!

 

Beautyticket.com $29.99. Eye brushes from Rite-Aid are like $10 alone so I was super excited by this!

It arrived packed with cute pink squiggly papers for safety.  One shadow (not shown) was broken (the shadow itself had crumbled the container is great).  I didn't really feel like dealing with a return as its still totally usable and I was happy overall. 

I'm expecting my Sandra Suy print and some Lorac shadow & lipstick from Hautelook.com. I will update with the latest outcome of my newest addiction!
