Strait Lane polyester vintage dress (LUX: $16); Banana Republic belt (sale $18, MSRP $80); Gianni Bini navy leather shoes (LUX $18); glass pearl vintage necklace (Antique World Mall $5); glazed enamel earrings (gift from Cuba).

Unfortunately, this is not a paid advertisement, so heed my words without your inbred capitalist cynicism.

LUX (785 W. Idaho) is by far my favorite place to Cheep shop in Boise. It’s locally-owned and amazingly affordable, and they collect all the boutique cast-offs and sell them new for ridiculous discounts.

Anyhoo…Friday, February 11th and Saturday February 12th is the biggest sale of the year at LUX. 50% off every-f*cking-thing. Halle-freakin-luia.

Cheep glory. Get something haute for V-day, for practically nothing.

I’ll see you there first.
