Affordable Favorites...

I have a sick, sick addiction to shopping, but I have an ever deeper addiction to sales and cheap buys.

Here is a list of some of my favorite inexpensive closet essentials.


I wear them daily over skinny jeans and they are incredibly comfortable not only for your feet but also for your wallet at $51. At this price you can buy one in every color, or get yourself a back-up pair if they ever wear themselves out. (the flap on the boots comes up as well, converting them to knee-high boots...like 2 boots in 1)

This is the cuttest summer dress ever! Easily mistaken for a Michael Kors, this dress is the perfect mini for summer. I leave this one to the hot VS model to sell.





Nicole Ritchie has them...so should you

We've all seen the before and after pictures of Nicole Ritchie style transformation, and I have to say that, thanks to Ms. Zoe, Ms. Ritchie is a style icon. She always looks casually sexy and perfectly trendy. She also has a bottomless wallet and limit-less credit cards to her name and so she can afford to buy perfect style. For those of us with a more junior spending limit, we can savvy-shop our way to icon style.

One of Nicole's favorite accessory items is the CC Skye Double Wrap Leather Bracelet which retails for $264. No way I would ever spend that on a bracelet that didn't have at least one diamond on it.


Victoria's Secret (yes I love the VS) makes a perfect replica in and array of colors for $75, still a bit steep, but much, much cheaper than the original.


Oscar de la Cheap-a



Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2007 line was like walking into New York's Botanical Gardens. One over-sized floral print after another floated down the runway on puffy, puffy bubble dresses. You can always count on Oscar to bring in the drama, but you can also count on lofty price tags to go with those jumbo florals, but don't pass on on these great styles just yet. Victoria's Secret (no they don't just sell lingerie) makes a great dress that combines Oscar's bubble silohuette and his bold black and red floral design.


The price tag on this one is just right at $99.00

Tory's gottta-have-it flats!!!



You can't walk 3 blocks in NYC without seeing at least one girl sporting Tory Burch's Reva Ballerina flats. They come in an array of colors, but the three must haves are black patent, silver and gold. At and untouchable retail price of $195, I had put these cutie flats on the back burner until I came across a fabulous knock off at Delias.com. They come in all three of the top selling colors and they only cost $36.00. Now we all can adorn our feet with these perfectly comfortable, go-with-everything, super shiny shoes.
