Thrifty Thursday: Stuart Weitzman Alex Espadrille for Less

Mes chers, in the left corner you will spot Stuart Weitzman’s sassy Alex Espadrille – the very same sandals seen donned by the glamorous Jennifer Aniston and Eva Mendes; in the right corner cast a glance upon Steve Madden’s tres fabulous Fantasik Sandals.

Though the wondrous Weitzman’s feature leather trim and an insole lined with suede, two aspects that the Madden’s are missing; for a mere $69.00, in comparison to the $365.00 of the ambrosial Alex, they are every bit as wondrous as their haute couture counterparts, and allow the frugal fashionista to indulge in a splash of star style on a budget!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Stuart Weitzman, or be thrifty and spring for Steve Madden?

Tightwad Tuesday: Herve Leger Double Strap Bandage Dress for Less

My loves, to your left feast your eyes upon Herve Leger’s daring Double Strap Bandage Dress; to your right prepare to swoon over Arden B.’s heavenly Halter Cutout Bandage Dress.

Though the Leger sports a more intricate back and is bright blue in hue (as opposed to the coral of the Arden B.); for a mere $69.00, in comparison to the $1,150.00 required to take le haute Herve home, it is every bit as luscious as the Leger, and enough of a bargain to allow the frugalista to indulge in both colors (black and coral), as well as a fabulous new pair of shoes!

Sunday Steals: L.A.M.B. Pilot for Pennies

My loves, to your left feast your eyes on L.A.M.B.'s ever-fabulous Pilot; to the right place your pretty peeper’s on Type Z’s sassy Strike.

While the Type Z tantalizers feature a 4" heel and 1 1/4" platform, as opposed to the 4 1/2" heel and 1 1/2" platform of the luscious L.A.M.B.'s; for a mere $65.40, in comparison to the $325.00 needed to take the lovely L.A.M.B.'s home, they are every bit as glamorous of a choice for the cheap chica – and allow one to indulge in all three fabulous shades (black, cognac, and grey)!

Frugal and Fabulous Giveaway

Dolls, there are very few things in life that bring one as much pleasure as spending money – from the RED Valentino Tiered Ruffle Dress that we desperately needed for that impromptu Twenties Theme Party to the 3.1 Phillip Lim Liza Sunglasses that our summer would be downright incomplete without; but sometimes, as author Natalie P. McNeal is quite well-versed in, being fabulous doesn’t require one spending an arm and a leg – it happens when you’re living on a shoestring! Surprise, surprise lovers; Café Fashionista has teamed up with EMG Promotions on behalf of Harlequin Nonfiction to bring three (3) brainy budget babes a copy of Natalie P. McNeal’s The Frugalista Files - a diary of sorts wherein Natalie takes you on a no-spending spree through a year of her life during which she lived frugally – yet never sacrificed fabulosity! It’s a tome that will help you to see the light and the end of the shopping tunnel. But best of all? It’s pretty in pink and petite in size so you can toss it in your 3.1 Phillip Lim Page Handbag when you’re on the go! To Enter the Frugal and Fabulous Giveaway: ♥For one (1) entry, leave a comment on this post between now and Friday, February 11, 2011 at midnight PST. ♥ For two (2) entries, Twitter about this giveaway, and leave a comment on this post between now and Friday, February 11, 2011 at midnight PST with your Twitter URL. ♥ For three (3) entries, become a follower of Café Fashionista on Blogger/Google Reader/Google Friend Connect/Twitter, and leave a comment on this post between now and Friday, February 11, 2011 at midnight PST (if you are already a Café Fashionista follower, please say so in your comment).

Thrifty Thursday: French Connection Wendy Cotton Dress for Less

My loves, to your left you will find French Connection’s wondrous Wendy Cotton Dress; to the right allow your pretty peepers to fall upon the beauty that is C. Jace’s fabulous Frou Frou Black Dress.

While the French Connection charmer comes crafted with a banded waist and an exposed zipper along the back, two things that the C. Jace gem lacks; for just $59.00, as opposed to the $198.00 required to add Wendy to your wardrobe, it is just as capable of kicking your little black dress collection up a notch – at a price that no frugalista can refuse!

Will French Connection tempt you into being a big spender, or will C. Jace inspire you to save?
