Diane von Furstenberg Dresses

There are few things in life that I love more than my dog, Scout.  My find last month in Chicago definitely made me forget about my dog for an entire afternoon: DVF, Bloomingdales, and a massive end-of summer sale! I couldn’t believe my dumbluck when I beheld a black silk, DVF dress in my size, [...]

Frugal Friday: Eyelet Dress and Espadrilles

What better represents summer than a white, eyelet dress and silver, espadrille wedges? Going to the Saks Fifth Avenue website was my first mistake in the search for the perfect match to my dream summer ensemble.  While I found exactly what I was looking for, Shoshanna Sand Dollar Eyelet Dress ($319) and Jimmy Choo Phyllis [...]

Frugal Friday: Summer Casual

This summer outfit from Neiman Marcus has it all: bright cardigan, funky tank top, versatile skirt and, best of all, it’s totally work appropriate. The only thing this outfit doesn’t offer is affordability: $1585 for the entire outfit, not including shoes.  Surely we can do much better!

Frugal Friday: One Shoulder Dress

I took a closer look at the Carmen Marc Valvo collection and fell in love.  All the pieces in this collection are breathtaking, especially the dresses. The three things I love most [...]

Designer Style on the Cheap: Valentino Lace Pumps

These Valentino Sculpture Lace Pumps are to die for.  I certainly appreciate couture clothing for being works of art, but these shoes could be showcased at the Musee D’Orsay tomorrow!  Can you guess how much they cost?  As I said to a friend yesterday…if you have to ask, you can’t afford them.  At $4700, these [...]

Designer Style on the Cheap: Casual Friday

Since it’s Friday and many offices (except for mine it seems) have casual Friday.  This particular outfit may be more appropriate for weekend rather than Casual Friday, but some workplaces are pretty relaxed.  Always check with your colleagues or supervisor to determine how casual is too casual. This cute outfit, of course, isn’t cheap.  The [...]

Designer Fashion on the Cheap: Donna Karan

Ladies, it’s my favourite day of the week – Frugal Friday.  As mentioned earlier this week, I went shopping last week and can home with dresses, dresses and more dresses.  So it’s fitting to write about designer dresses on the cheap.  The above Donna Karan outfit is pretty pricey–the dress alone is $995.  Let’s see [...]
