Glam for Less: How to Look and Feel Great for Less

Many on the outside who look at me say wow, she has some big bucks!! In reality I just know how to bargain hunt really well, with the exception of a few things.

Haircare: If you go to your local salon ask when there weekly specials are, same if you go to a local place for waxing needs.

What's On Trend for Spring

This Spring we are seeing a lot of floral, denim, and military styles. You may ask so how do I wear these trends without looking like everyone else. Floral Look: If you are wearing a single floral skirt then go solid with the top, or if you are wearing a completely embellished floral dress leave it alone and just wear it as is, great options on the lower end are from forever21.com , mid range options are at newyorkandcompany.com , and luxury items we recommend aliceandolivia.com The Denim: We see the high rise or Mom jeans are back in style, the deconstructed oversized chambray colored denim shirts that you can wear day or evening. Also, we are seeing constructed denim dresses, that are body con, or scoop neck that if worn with pearls can pass for a great formal first date. The stores that have these looks are hm.com  for the lower price point, mid range price is macys.com  and luxury is saks.com . They have all of the denim needs in the styles we discussed previously.

The beauty of Nick Graham now covering his shows for the third season straight, is he takes a theme such as Mars and the buyers, blogger,and other press are standing in a room, that looks like we are on the set of Star Wars and makes his clothes impeccably functional and highly tailored. Bill Nye comes out in a sliver tuxedo jacket with black space ships that are subtle and a wonderfully tailored pant and a Bowie with his signature hat, and you expect silver people coming out. Our favorite looks are the red satin evenin
