hey i totalyy agree with todays in and out ya thats rightim commenting about the state of union blog not just talkin like you guys i think a good deal witch is a nice item for the right price!! so next time comment about the blog instead of talkin to eachother thats what cellphones are for daa!!

Posted by crystal on July 28, 2009 at 12:09 PM EDT #

another tip: if you buy a electronic item always check to c if it is working before you buy it cause you never know there might not be refunds! if u see something really cute but its way to expensive then look around for somethin cheaper it might not be the sam but it sure will cute and a good price

For sales I go to this store called winners, cuz there is like, designer clothes for like, really cheap. Amazing deals. Also, hey what's up guys?

Posted by Hannah on July 28, 2009 at 01:13 PM EDT #

i totally agree, just because things are expensive doesn't mean their always cute. you can find really really cute clothes for a cheap price anywhere. :)

my tip is you have to look hard cor.. 2 find deals its hard but just 2 hear your friends say "OMG that is so cute u dress like the best ever" i love it :)

cheap is good but designer is too. I know I luhv juicy couture. Its my fav. I have shopped on fifth avenue and rodeo dr. i know whats quality but dont only but the cheap stuff you want it 2 always look Ah-dorable.

Posted by allie on July 28, 2009 at 02:09 PM EDT #

kay, i luh-ve designer but im more middle-class-ish so the only brand name store i shop at is vera bradely.cheap is good too though.i like target&kohls!

Posted by kate on July 28, 2009 at 02:16 PM EDT #

hi everyone i totaly agree with the state of union, but i mean i have some juicy catour stuff but they were on sale, i also love american eagle if you look in the sales its really good. i mean everyone doesnt need 6 pairs of true religion jeans, if you like true religion get a pair then get other jeans somewhere else like abercrombie (in the sale section of coarse)

Seriously? Sign up for a Kohl's card. Then, everything you buy is on sale! Yesterday I got 200 something dollars worth of clothes for $109. And, earlier in June, my mom and I went on a summer shopping spree the day after my school let out and get this: We bought $500 worth of clothes, but we only paid $226. Talk about a great deal!

Posted by wildgirl on July 29, 2009 at 10:08 AM EDT #

i have never been 2 Kohls lol

Posted by maddie on July 29, 2009 at 10:24 AM EDT #

Posted by Michaela on July 29, 2009 at 11:04 AM EDT #

i agree with the state of the union and it doesnt matter where you shop you could find a great deal at macys or nordstroms but my fave places to shop are american eagle and hollister. they have good deals sometimes:)

Posted by I_Love_Potatoes! on July 29, 2009 at 11:42 AM EDT #

there are summer sales and you dont always have to shop name brand. i shop at the mall most of the time but outlets have lots of good clothes. and for summer clothes outlets are jus fine..

Posted by lulu_luvs_derrington on July 29, 2009 at 12:02 PM EDT #

hey kailz im on! anyways i shop in name brand but always look for the stuff on sale.:) it dont really mattter what you wear as long as you think its cute.

Posted by super_sexy_luvs_cam! on July 29, 2009 at 12:06 PM EDT #

Sales? I can go to Walmart and get some cute stuff for cheap,but when I put it in the wash it unravles...but it makes it more AWESOME! Oh and I didn't know the Pretty Committee had a blog, AND Massie is showing everyone her 'State Of Union's? Wow,she's sunk low. I thought it was 'Private' and 'Ungettable'. Whatevers,Guess her and her evil co-horts (Not including Claire,OH and Hay C!) Are turning their tables.

Posted by blisskiss on July 29, 2009 at 02:41 PM EDT #

Girls, I think having a designer outfit doesn't matter, as long as you can pull it off!:)

Hey heyy! I love the Clique books and I am curently reading them for the third time. I love this State of Union. I am in LOVE with Designer brands too tho... :) Fashionalbly Yours, Peacefully Yours, The Fashionable Peacemaker:]

Posted by The Fashionable Peace Maker on July 29, 2009 at 03:45 PM EDT #

This is so true u never need to buy things that is a rip off because then u r just wasteing ur money. When u get stuff u need to get it from like Aroepostel cause if u have lame clothes u need a fashion check up!!!!!!!!!! I am like Massey i am a leader of a Clique i have a dog name Jack-Jack.

Posted by Carrington on July 29, 2009 at 11:54 PM EDT #

like i shop at Pacusn and Gap and AE but i also wear designers like my closet is a mix of both

Posted by maddie on July 30, 2009 at 03:39 PM EDT #

Well, I like A&E. alot. I like their long flair jeans!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Saphire calls on July 30, 2009 at 03:49 PM EDT #

HEYY!!! i just got the greatest sunglasses! (black with white hearts, so awesome!) i also got new nail polish(shimmers in light!!!), a chanel tote 2 hold my makeup and hair stuff 4 dance, & so much more(it was my bday!!!)

Posted by heyy (the real one) on July 30, 2009 at 06:04 PM EDT #

kasha, omg i LOVE the goonies!! its like the best movie ever!!! tRUFFLE sHUFFLE!! anyways, yeah i agree with the post but id also like to say that you honestly cant find everything you like for cheap... i mean some things you just HAVE to pay more for because its something that just would fit right/look right/ feel right if you bought the knockoff.. also, some things designer i would NEVER pay for would be like leggings, tights, belts, and tank tops because you really can find like the EXACT same thing for like 90% off the designer price. Plus, like swimsuits can look designer even if you buy them from target... i love sales cause you get designer for less and like The Rack and TJ Maxx and Ross. Never buy used though. Consignment= contaminated!!

Posted by Watch4mesomeday on July 30, 2009 at 06:40 PM EDT #

oops i meant it would NOT fit/look/feel right if you bought it cheap.

Posted by Watch4mesomeday on July 30, 2009 at 06:40 PM EDT #

1. sunglasses, 2 tote, 3 barrette

Posted by maddie on July 30, 2009 at 09:33 PM EDT #

Hey I love the whole clique series that is why I entered to win it the story is so cool it just makes me lol because its a great movie and it can be so awesome... :)

Posted by Monae on July 31, 2009 at 03:14 PM EDT #

I agree times 10! Rip offs are so nawt Clique!

Posted by Eunice on July 31, 2009 at 03:18 PM EDT #

Okayy girlies :) My style is preppy meets glam. Ralph Lauren is my fashion GAWD. But of course, not everyone can afford RL. So go to Macy's. Same clothing, better price. And really, who has to know you got it from Macy's? Juicy Couture (btw, if your going to mention a designer, at least spell the brand name right. Puhlease.) is cute, but be careful. Keep your eyes open for sales, because I have bought some cute Juicy shirts for faabulous prices (oohh I have this one that says "juicy loves fashion...fashion loves juicy" It's simply adorable) Anyways! I just have to get this out. I HATE AMERICAN EAGLE. If you want to be fashionable, just don't shop there. It's overpriced for stuff that isn't even cute. Check out a Gap, it's better than you think and it also depends on the store. BEST GAP EVER: NEWPORT, RI. I'm going to assume most of us are teens. With this in mind, I don't believe any of you that say you've shopped at Prada. And if you're going to advertise it, post it where someone who reads it is going to care. And at this age, if you walk into school looking like you just came off a high fashion Stella McCartney runway, people are going to stare. In the bad way. As far as Abercrombie and Hollister go, it's so BORING. Some people go through a phase where they just want to wear stuff like that, but if you can, skip it! Shirts that say Hollister aren't cute... half of the people that buy them only wear them so they can say they bought something from there. I still have failed to understand why these stores are so great. I mean, even I have some stuff from Abercrombie, but it's not just a t-shirt. It's slightly cute. :P Well, start you back to school shopping soon! And, come up with a signature look. Mine? An oxford (button down) blue and white shirt. Unbuttoned with some sort of navy shirt underneath. Khaki shorts, blue/white ballet flats. Thin white scarf (used as a belt :)) tied in a bow on my left. Small silver bow in hair (headband). And some sort of necklace to top it off. Help me, girlies! Pearls, gold and pearls, gold, or silver? Jeez. This is long. If you get down to the bottom of this, either you have no life or your a true fashionista. MWAH<3

Hey! i LOVE the clique.

Posted by MAJOR QT on August 02, 2009 at 02:10 PM EDT #

i have addvice for middle school dont try to be one of the perfect people because it is immpossible. we will all make emmbarrasing mistakes. just be yourself were clothes that are your style and make sure to wear deoderant. try to get good grades be nice to everyone and include all. i am popular at my school, but i still trip in the hallways and laugh at dumb jokes. But i wear my style with pride i get good grades and am nice to all. and for boyfriend advice take it slow hugs r good. also for bff advice stay clear of drama dont gossip give good advice, keep secrets and keep your hair glosy good luck.

Posted by phelps/massie on August 02, 2009 at 02:52 PM EDT #

Posted by sexysoftballbabe on August 02, 2009 at 04:02 PM EDT #

I love vintage stores and thrift stores. You can find ah-mazingly cool designer stuff. Who cares if it's used?

ahmmm EW! neons! they make me want to puke! especially the hot pink skinny jeans. sickk dude. marc by marc jacobs is so in. & so are coach tennis shoes their ah-dorable. TTYL xox-k

Posted by dyl on August 05, 2009 at 03:29 PM EDT #

go 2 a thrift store. comfy cheap clothes for a reasonable price., or get old clothes and make a shirt, dress, purse, or pants collage.

Posted by fvsdfrwsfeeeefewewwwwwewewewwab aaaezsfrdazsfdszd on August 05, 2009 at 07:39 PM EDT #

Yeah I soooooo agree. And something that's designer that I wish would just die are coach tennis shoes. They are just hideous! And I shop at abercrombie, forever 21, charlotte russe, hollister, and macys. But for abercrombie and macys, I wait until the things go on sale. Yup :)

Posted by Kaylee babeeee <333 on August 14, 2009 at 11:13 AM EDT #

Well for all the like Ralph Lauren and Mark Jacobs stuff I just go to the mall like in Belk right now they have all of that stuff on sale and its like you could get swim suits for less then 50 dollars!!
