Sometimes when you least expect it, you stumble upon a jewel. This jewel is in the eye of the beholder. For some,  finding that one special person to love is like coming up on a rare and priceless gem that far exceeds any and all expectations. For me, it's finding a Sanctuary that houses inexpensive fashion finds. Today, I came face to face with a very affordable gem. When braving the crowds during this season's madness, I took the actual time to seek out the Foreign Exchange in the Great Mall in Milpitas (www.feclothing.com) after months of stalking, ignoring and flirting with the idea of entering this haven, I took the plunge. I was not only pleasantly surprised by the affordable price tags, I was floored. Not only were the fashions inside sleek and sophisticated, they were having an insane deal. Foreign Exchange features more of muted color pallet with a focus on black, white, tan and navy. The designs aren't overly designed but are made up of interesting and simple lines. Not too many pieces with actual print they do however have a table that carries all their graphic T-shirts that range about $15.99. Tops and bottoms range between $20-30  and dresses fall between $30-40. In addition to affordable apparel this store also carries a small albeit trendy selection of shoes and purses. I get excited about the thought of saving money and discovering something new....so Ice Cube says, " Today was a good day."
