Your hair looks stunning really emphasise your eyes even more . I think thank God for Steve Madden !!!! Some really great dupes as always !!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@simplykura]

Thank you so much!!

[@roxannemcconn4204]

I love Steve Madden his dupes are too good to me

[@simplykura]

He comes up some the best dupes! That is a fact! lol!

[@MsCrimson02]

❤Steve Madden & Nine West. I ❤his dupes. I’m not mad. Most folks can’t afford those high price designers. After several months, it’s out of style anyway. I’m a budget girl & I’m all 4 a designer dupe. Then u’re not mad when it goes out of style then we move on 2 the next. My motto is spend money on classic pieces & by dupes 4 trends. 😊🥰

[@simplykura]

So true! Im not in the postion to spend thousands of dollars on a trend. If im spending that kind of money I need it to last for years. Thats why my Luxury items are classic and I can wear them forever. I love the "spend money on classic pieces & dupe for trends" great way to live and look good.

Happy Sunday Everyone

I love brother Steve because I'm going in for the dupe! I do not feel any type of way unless it is a bad dupe.

[@simplykura]

Same! He does do bad dupes sometimes . But when he gets it right, I’m all in lol! 😂

[@fashionandluxury101]

Love your braids! So pretty on you. So based on your title these dupes are exactly what they are… yes dupes look very close to the original but as long as they are NOT using the name of the designer it’s ok . That’s what a dupe is right ? You’re getting a similar look for less. Zara, Michael Kors, Kate Spade? H&M , Tory Burch etc all make dupes. They are not pretending to be the original; they’re essentially copying the style or tweaking it slightly. 😊 I think it’s ok to try a “ dupe” to see if you like the product, before spending thousands of dollars on an item then realizing it’s a waste of money 😊

[@simplykura]

Thank you!! Im loving not having to style my hair. You are correct😩 and I love it when I’m shopping and I find a dupe. So I truly don’t why those Steve Madden bags rubbed me the wrong way. It doesn’t make sense.🤷🏽‍♀️ Sometimes my “bougie” senses take over and I cant explain it lol!

Hi. I'm new to your channel and loving it. I will say that everyone has a different budget. I like the fact that there are more affordable alternatives for people. I love Steve Madden. I have high end, and budget friendly in my wardrobe. I have the logo's and non designer as well. I say buy what makes you happy, and be able to pay your bills!

[@simplykura]

Hey Newbie!👋🏾! Im so happy we found each other!❤️🤗 I wanted to make this channel about all kinds of fashion as I too have a mixture of both high and low end in my closet. Im fact, I would venture to say that many fashion lovers do! Steve Madden is a great bang for your buck and I love them for trendy things . I completely agree, BUY WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! Paying bills is always the priority! Have a great week new friend🤗❤️

I purchased the Marc Fisher gold wedges. I was in love as soon as I opened the box. I will be able to wear these regardless of wether they are on trend or not with a variety of clothing options throughout the spring, summer, and early fall season. Thanks so much for this dupe suggestion.

[@simplykura]

Yay! Im so glad you like them!!! I really feel like they can be worn with so much!

Month by month "reasons" for shopping. Shopping for Black History month. Shopping for Easter/ Spring. Shopping for Summer. Shopping for Fall. Shopping for Winter. Shopping for the Holidays. ... THEN, I will only shop for specific situations ... Lol

😂😂😂😂 Its a vicious circle! It has to stop some time ………….right? 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

[@chara8231]

Wonderful and informative video as always!👍 Can I say your skin is just glowing in this video! Plus the box braids add to your effortless youthful look! I agree 100% that a no buy in Feb does not make any sense...with the caveat of primarily supporting back owned brands👏🙌 And we all know that the best deals are in January so a no buy last month was just setting yourself up for failure...imo🤣 March it is then!😅

[@simplykura]

Thank you so much for you’re kind words🤗 you have made my day sis😩! Im for sure shopping Black owned this month ! Just got another Brandon Blackwood bag and recently found some new Black owned bag brands I’m loving ! March is the only acceptable time for a no buy!😂🤷🏽‍♀️

LOVE your denim top. I get why people aren’t willing to buy the LV earrings. I agree they should be gold plated to make up for that large price tag. I never thought of wedges the way you described but thinking about it you are right. They seem to tweak them in a way you can’t even go back to the vintage style to replicate the current style for some reason.

[@simplykura]

Thanks sis❤️🤗 It really does seem like they tweak wedges every-time they come out ! It makes them fall “ out of style” so quickly smh….

[@BrowngirlbeautyNYC]

Love this of course! Those denim shoes are on final sale and they have one size left too much pressure hahaha. D!nt stop making these videos I'm addicted!

I am a bit of a Debbie Downer when it comes to high end jewellery like the LV earrings.

If you want to extend the “life” of your plated pieces, try spraying a coat of polyurethane on them! 😊…….BTW It’s been said that…“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” - Oscar Wilde, late poet and playwright. One more thing! Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not promised to us, and TODAY is not a “dress rehearsal!” Have fun with fashion. Wear what makes you happy and feel good, regardless of your age. After all, we are alllll as young as we will ever be!

Thank you for all this insight. One of my favorite Oscar Wilde quotes is "Crying is for plain women.Pretty women go shopping."🤣🤣 I dont think he actually said that but I saw that on a poster one day and ran with it 🤣 Fashion is supposed to be FUN!
