The Summer is believe it or not coming to a end. With that you will see prices starting to fall at your local retailers. Hopefully, you have taken advantage of this...there were Christmas is July sales last weekend!! For all of my parents, do not forget about Tax FREE weekend!!! What to buy you say? The staples of course, jeans, tee shirts, dresses, and shoes. Remember that it does not have to be name brand to be FAB!!

Smoochies....................................

The 150 Dollar Challenge!!!

I was given a challenge to find a career wardrobe for 150 or less. I accepted the challenge and of course I not only beat it, I came back with 11 dollars in change. What did I get and where did I go you ask? Simple, I put my frugalista hat on and went to a store that carries career pieces in large quanties therefore they have fab prices! That place is K & G Superstore! I was able to get 1 280 dollar Suit for 49.99, a bright rose cardigan for 19 bucks and it's Silk, a black blouse with a V collar with trim 19 bucks, brown A line knee length skirt 19, Camel A line skirt 17 bucks, both skirts regularly 90 dollars each. All bottoms can be worn with other tops, and the cardigan can be worn over a FAB LBD!! All pieces work well and can also go from day to night!!

Maxi dress is still the Summer must have!

I have said this numerous times, but shopping lately has proved my point, the Maxi dress is indeed the Summer MUST HAVE!! No matter what color or design, they are easy to care for, easy to wear and breathable! I purchased a beautiful BRIGHT Yellow maxi dress from Charming Charlie's ..loves it and so do many other people! So girlies if you do not have one, head out and get you one!!! Try White House Black Market, Charlies, Dillards and Neiman Marcus for some great fines!

What a Break!!! Did ya miss me?

Guess who is back? Savvydiva of course, took a break to grade fashion projects and run around with my students. I am sooooooooooo proud of them and all of their shows, tonight FEVER - produced by MS COCO happens tonight @ 8 PM. Tony Harris has a show coming up on the 30th. San Antonio is finally trying to come up in fashion thx to the IADT graduates and shows! The Art institute is now in SA as well, so expect GREAT things coming up from both schools.

People read but no followers?? What's that about?

Ok folks

Numerous people have contacted me about my blog, but you are not following me, except on Twitter. Let me know that I am not crazy. I know that Texas still has a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOong way to go as far as fashion goes, but we are getting there and as always, Texans have their own way on doing things. I think we are slowly coming out from under our shell and starting to embrace our savviness (Is that a word?) I want folks to know that it does not take your entire paycheck to look and feel FAB! I personally do not shop expensive brands not because I can not afford too, but I love small businesses and boutiques and one of a kind places where my dollar goes further. Spend 900 dollars on one pair of shoes (just because of the designer name attached to them) or spend 900 dollars in Macy's or WHBM and get some staple always fashionable pieces that can be mixed and matched? My associates had never heard of some of my fav places until I started ranting on about them. I can spot a FAB LBD for a Scary price that would cost your average fashionista her entire month salary for a third of the price in some cases at my fav places. Let us not take cheapness over quality, quality will win hands down. I mean really, do you want your dress to fall off of you at your next event? Shop around and get some investment staple pieces and you should be fine! TJ Maxx and Marshall 's have great finds at a good deal. My hang out WHBM has the latest trends mixed with a little vintage and classic (Which I love) at reasonable prices. True, you will not go in there and purchase one thing (believe me I have tried), but your closet and your esteem will thank you later!! Stop buying 10 dollar pants expecting them to last for the next 5 yrs! There I said it, hope I did not hurt anyone's feelings, my grandmother always use to say that people have caviar taste on a champagne budget and they would forever be in debt. What are your thoughts? Twitter me as you all like to do and remember to dress and shop savvy!!

Smoochies FAB ones!!

I have a new Love in intimates!!

I know it has been a while folks but many of you know that my FAB Dapper Father has been under the weather and actually had a Heart Attack this past weekend, so he has been keeping me busy. Thx for all the calls and text messages XOXOXO to you all! I wanted to post this like a month ago but everything went left, you all know that I love me some WHBM and often share style ideas from their look book as well as from their sister store Chicos. Well I can now say that I am in love with Soma as well. I recently purchase some vanishing edge undies at WHBM and I am in love. I have been telling everyone and their mother about these intimates. They do not ride and they look FAB under fitted trousers and skirts...no line ladies which is one of my TOP pet Pevs. Love them!!!! I went back and stocked up!! You must try them and they can even be ordered online in numerous colors!! So many retailers make intimates complicated and literally unwearable, not these, and no they are not granny panties, they actually are what I would call simply sexy and everyday wearable. Check them out at www.soma.com/store

Smoochies!!!
