The Look for Less: Christian Louboutin

In our 25 Fall Must Haves Under $50 post I mentioned at #20 that a platform bootie is a must have for the fall. I came across this weeks  "look for less" while scrolling through Polyvore (one of my fav sites, after ShopStyle of course).  So if you are looking for the perfect bootie for fall check it out below.

Get The Look: Dahshiki Realness

As an aspiring fashion stylist, I really look up to June Ambrose and I absolutely love her sense of style. She was recently seen wearing a really cool dashiki top out and about in NYC. Chef Roblé was also spotted wearing another color way from the Ron Bass collection.

You can purchase this exact one online at I Am Ron Bass for $110. If it's not in your price range you can definitely buy a dashiki from your local African art store or street vendor and add your own spin to it by cutting it or getting some iron-on letters and numbers They can be purchaed from Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Walmart.  

Christen found these at a street vendor near her job in Downtown DC

What's the TREND? Lucite Clutch

Charlotte Olympia, Zara and Chanel were some of my favorite brands of Lucite clutches. The perfect accessory for any look you may be going for event you may be attending.  Below are photos of my favorites:

The Look for Less: Giuseppe Zanotti

Earlier this week I was on Nordstrom.com looking for some new riding boots and I came across a pair of Giuseppe inspired sneakers. Although I found them in the women's section they mimic the male version more. So guys if you have a small foot you can pull these off.  Check the look out below!

Frugal Spotlight: Torrid

 

 Torrid is a retail store that has clothing for the trendy yet fashionable plus-size woman. Their clothes range from size 12-28. They not only sell clothing but accessories, footwear and intimates. Although I am not plus-size I have bought a few items from this store for my mother and for myself. I bought a very sleek pair of summer sandals that had a gold snake on them. I also purchased a Red Patent Leather Hello Kitty Bowling bag online from Torrid. Torrid  has really evolved over the years and provided many stylish plus size women with options to broaden their wardrobe.

Frugal Shopaholic Tips and Tricks

A shopper may not always have their bestie with them to offer opinions on how those jeans really look, but consumers can save money by using smart sites, apps and other trendy tech tools.

1.  Is that designer purse real? Use the free uFaker anti- counterfeiting app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

2.  Do you really need to buy it new? Maybe your buddy has one from last season. Use Yerdle to browse items that friends are sharing or giving away.

3.  For free help tracking the deliveries of your online purchases, use Slice.com.

4.  Save during shopping with the free BeFrugal.com browser add-on with Couponomatic^TM, which automates the process of finding coupon codes by turning the promo code entry box that is usually empty into a drop down box of promo codes that are guaranteed to work. For Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome.

5.  To see if you can get that item for a lower price, scan the barcode with Red Laser’s free app for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone 7.

6.  Maybe you like that lipstick, but don’t like animal testing. Use the free GoodGuide app for iPhones, iPod touches and iPads to see if the product aligns with your standards.

7.  Find that must-have-it-today item at a store near you with the free Shop Nearby iPhone app by TheFind.

8.  When you need to find a store in a huge mall, turn to the free FastMall iPhone app to access maps and layouts of thousands of shopping malls.

9.  Determine whether your Facebook friends support your buying decision using the free iPhone and iPad Best Decision app.

10. Use the free Buzzillions Reviews app to access 17 million reviews as you consider purchasing products.
