FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Right Not To Bare Arms.


It seems like every wedding dress I see is sleeveless, if not strapless, so what about people who don't like the look of bare arms but don't want to wear a matronly, long-sleeved dress? I really like the one above as a sleeved option. It's demure yet really fun at the same time which is a hard needle to thread.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Christmas Corner



It's holiday party time!!!!!  And while you may have saved up money to buy a few holiday party dresses, I know a lot of my fashionista readers are stylish ladies on a serious budget.

Dress coats are generally expensive.  It's never fun to buy them, because you want something that looks like you spent the money, but you don't want to ACTUALLY spend the money.

HOMEY HONEY: Santa is Coming to Town



















Holiday shopping is in full swing. There may be some people are your list that are nearly impossible to shop for. I have found the perfect gift for these people, as well as for your own home.

COMFY COQUETTE: Vintage Vixen by Simply Vera Wang


I love vintage-style lingerie, and this bra + tap pants set from Simply Vera Wang is divine. Go sweet and modern in grey/lavender or vamp it up in fuschia/black. Even better: buy one piece and get the second half off!

Made by: Simply Vera Wang

Price: Tap Pants $14; Bra $36
* Buy one, get one half off!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Softest Sweater



My sisters and I have forever disagreed about how a sweater should feel.  As a warmth junkie (see my previous posting today), I love itchy sweaters because they are the warmest!  And they usually have some fairisle-type pattern that I also love.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Case Of The Sheer Sweater



The very idea of a sheer, almost see-through sweater is an oxymoron. Sweaters are supposed to keep you warm, right?  Then why would you want one that's sheer?

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Designer Alert - Gucci


I am always hesitant to post Gucci handbags or wallets because 1) I'm not THAT crazy about the iconic Gucci pattern and, 2) it's way way way too easy to knock off.  Also, I'm not the biggest fan of designer stuff that screams I'M DESIGNER! (unless it's a pair of sunglasses, but that is another post for another day...)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Cowl(ardly) Neck



A lot of my work dresses are from the Gap.  On the days where I don't have to wear a suit, my winter uniform is basically tights, boots and a cute, work-appropriate dress.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Christmas Corner



Welcome to a new holiday feature called Christmas Corner!  Every day until December 21st, I'll be featuring a different holiday fashion item.  It could be holiday party dresses, or Christmas jewelry, or maybe even Christmas stockings (for wearing AND for stuffing!)

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Cheap Drama.

How long do you want your veil to be? If you want it to reach all the way down the aisle of St. Paul's Cathedral (I'm looking at you, future Princess Kate) then you're looking at a "cathedral length" veil.

However, all that length can add hundreds of dollars on to your veil price. Consider the above veil from Teri Huang on Etsy. It's a two-tiered cathedral-length veil similar to Chelsea Clinton's veil and will cost you a fraction of the price of a similar veil bought in a bridal shop.

Price: $45.00

I love this sweater (and the equally good looking chap wearing it!)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Nile Valley Style



Bib necklaces are still in, and there is no sign they are going anywhere near out of style.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Trend Obsession



You know when you see a few people wearing a similar item of clothing and then you become OBSESSED with it??

TWELVE DEALS OF CHRISTMAS - Deal #1!



Hello fashionistas! I am very excited to bring you a Fashion Deal Diva exclusive....THE TWELVE DEALS OF CHRISTMAS!  Every day from now until December 12th, I will bring you a different shopping deal to assist you in your march through holiday gift giving!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Join The Military (Boot)



All knee high lace-up boots are not created equal.  These absolutely rise above the rest. The slightly up-tipped boot toes are the teensy tiny feminine detail that makes more chic than, well...meant for marching.
