5 Ways to Ball on a Budget

1. Get your outfit from Fashion Nova

- Fashion Nova is the top online fashion store for women. They make clothes for any type of event, but what makes them stand out is the fact that they try to copy outfits that are worn by huge celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Cardi B, and the list goes on. Another thing is that Fashion Nova is popular among celebrities and it's affordable! But Fashion Nova gives us, the regular everyday people, a chance to wear clothes that we gasp over from celebrities but we can't afford. They makes all our fashion dreams a reality. They always have codes to make the clothes cheaper for example Ship30. Ship30 gives you free shipping and 30% off.

2. Don't Do Manicures & Pedicures

- Manicures and Pedicures are just fancy ways of saying," I am going to cut your cuticles, file and polish your nails and charge you TWENTY DOLLARS to $30 for your hands and feet". If you just get a color change on your hands and feet you'd be spending $15. Most of the time the people will still file your nails to make them look good. Color change is still going to look just as good and last just as long. SAVE SOME COINS !

3. If you got a little money, RENT A DESIGNER BAG.

- If you're trying to really flex for the 'gram (Instagram), rent a designer bag. At Bag, Borrow or Steal you can rent any type of designer bag ranging from Kate Spade to Chanel for up to a reasonable price. They usually have sales on their prices so if you need a bag for a quick trip somewhere and trying to look flashy, do it up on Bag, Borrow, or Steal.

4. Travel on Spirit Airlines

- A lot of people hate on Spirit Airlines but they get the job done. I have traveled on Spirit Airlines for last minute trips or trips I cannot afford. For example, when I turned 21, I had a urge to go to Las Vegas, I could not wait anymore. I flew to Las Vegas from Miami on SPIRIT, and let me just say I was asleep on the flight going and the flight coming back. It was a 6-hour flight but I spent $80 total on my round trip and I had a small luggage so I spent like $25 on luggage. Sure, there's no TV or Wi-Fi on Spirit, but I downloaded the Netflix app and downloaded 6 hours’ worth of shows and movies just to give myself some variety.

5. Book Now & Pay Later

- I love Expedia for this reason and this reason alone:

BOOK NOW & PAY LATER OPTION.

Every time I decide to travel and I cannot afford the total now I book it through the Expedia book now and pay later option. Expedia has awesome deals and you can always find good package deals. You can pay a deposit down or just pay the total when you get to the hotel. I typically book my trips way in advance and then save up until the trip.
