Sorry for the delay in articles, loves! I saw that my post count was 199 and wanted to wait until today to crown B&B as a 200 post blog.

Why today?

IT’S MY BIRTHDAAAAY!

I’m now 23, and my lucky year of 22 has produced me with a ton of amazing and wonderful things. As it ought to have! 22 was and is still my favorite number.

It’s been so difficult to not post for four days! I haven’t missed that many days in a long, long time.

Regardless, it’s back to work for me here, so I’m going to use this historical moment to post one of my faaaavorite reports…

COUTURE REPORT: 5.11.8508

For the newbies who have just recently joined the B&B community, Couture Report is just like a typical B&B reports (see SmartBargains, Steve Madden, etc.), but it’s only focused on high-end designers, so the prices are a bit more steep… But not nearly as steep as retail!

So let’s get started.

Any time you see “Couture Report”, you can expect prices a little higher than the regular Broke & Beautiful postings of delight.

Couture Report is for the high-end-designer addict who can’t bear the thought of paying full price. You might be surprised at some of the low, low prices for high, high end designer garb.

Here’s today’s report from YOOX and Net-A-Porter:
