Ridiculous Deal: Cortex Platinum Black Series Special Edition

The MSRP is $200 USD. I paid 30$. Need I say more? I've kissed breakage & dryness goodbye due to black titanium plates. This iron has professional temperature settings as well as a limited warrantee. I'm definetly in love.

Update: My sister also purchased this iron. About a year in, the plates on both irons fragmented and fell off. I can still use it and these irons still do a fabulous job- just expect for the plates to break just when you think that this is a long term investment.

OOTD: Winter: ugly sweater season that makes finding a blazer implausible but not impossible.

For the holiday season it was a bit chilly (here meaning 50°F instead of Miami's usual 70°F this time of year.)
However, for some reason, at this time of year, every other major company (yes, Target, I'm talking to you) thinks that providing a variety of hideous cableknit sweaters to drown in constitutes as legitimate winter fashion. I don't think so.
I went on the hunt... Looking for exactly what I found...  My diamond in the rough. A funky black blazer versatile enough to wear with tights, slacks, jeans & dresses. The material is what throws me the most- its a soft sweaterlike material. The buttons have a brushed gold finish & faux pockets. Marshall's surprised me with this one... I usually am warded off from converting to a usual customer by their prices but at $17 USD, I figured it was a worthy investment.
Yes!
