When to spend and where

If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you I love a deal! Sales are my best friend! But there are times when I am more then willing to spend $$$ to get what I want. After all, there are some necessities that a true Diva needs!

#1- September issue of American Vogue. The September issue of Vogue is the Fashionita's bible. September's issue highlites the newest styles and fashions for the upcoming year. If you desire to stay on top of mainstream fashion, then that issue is a must have. Now all of the fashions featured in Vogue are very high priced designer lables. But you don't need designer duds to look like you just stepped off the runway! See whats "in" and while you're out shopping, look for inexpensive replica items. Many times you can put together a knockoff outfit for less then half the price of a designer one.

#2- Shoes. The last thing you want to do is step out feeling fly in your new shoes and have them fall apart on the dance floor! You don't have to spend $$$ on a pair of designer shoes, but we weary of those $10 heels. Places like Macys, DSW, even Barefeet sell awesome shoes at great prices! And once again, look for sales. Two weeks ago I got a pair of winter boots from Barefeet at the low price of $30. They were marked down from $60.

#3- Jewels. A true Diva needs rocking Rocks as much as she need designer purses and diva shades. Its ok to buy and even wear faux jewels to complete some everyday outfits. But when it comes to really stepping out, I choose not to take the cheap route. You dont want to be mixing with whose who and have your neck turn green from cheap or fake gold! And even when it comes to your costume jewelry, check out places like Eves Addiction. They sell great faux jewels and tons of celebrity inspired looks for less, and the material is of good quality.
