Beauty and Brains Giveaway

Darlings, there is no question about it; every girl deserves to feel fabulous, even when she’s merely lounging around the house by her lonesome. Baggy sweats, and ratty t-shirts, however, oftentimes lack the ability to bring glamour and confidence to the forefront; which is why something a little flirtier, perhaps trimmed in lace and embellished with petite, dainty bows, is a necessity. Now one (1) of you fierce, feisty, and fashionable femme fatales has the opportunity to take home such an offering.

Café Fashionista has teamed up with Smart & Sexy – the Thinking Girls Lingerie, as I like to refer to them – to bring one (1) of you lovely lambs a mixed bag of goodies that will make you look and feel like the glamour girl we both know you are!

Thrifty Thursday: Just Cavalli Zebra-Print Pencil Skirt for Pennies

Kitty cats, to the left feast your eyes on Just Cavalli’s zany Zebra-Print Pencil Skirt; to the right, take a peek at The Limited’s Printed Pencil Skirt.

Though The Limited’s lovely is ever so slightly shorter than the tres chic Just Cavalli number, and is fashioned out of stretch faille fabric as opposed to monochrome silk-satin; for a minute $59.50, in comparison to the $390.00 asking price of its high-end cousin, it is every bit as covetable – and priced just right for the budget fashionista!

Your turn loves…will you be thrifty or suckered into putting on your spendthrift cap?


Fashionably yours!

Why Don't You...?

♥…string up a hammock in your backyard; slip into L*Space’s Slinky Solids Plunge One Piece; slide Carrera’s Champion Sunglasses over your pretty peepers, and swing into oblivion?

♥…take the arm of a cute boy, and spend the afternoon trolling the boardwalk with dripping ice cream cones in hand? As Jonathan Carroll once said, “You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover’s arms can only come later when you’re sure they won’t laugh if you trip.”

♥…channel Marie Antoinette in Rachel Pally’s draping Long Fortuna Dress, find a quiet spot in a spacious park, and host a picnic for one with chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate on the menu?

♥…devote an entire day to flowers? Gallivant through gardens filled with daisies; admire butterflies and bees as they flit daintily from roses to violets; and, at the very end of the afternoon, craft a wreath out of foliage and perch it atop your head goddess-style!

♥…cancel whatever plans you may have and instead spend the day playing dress-up? Swipe the Kenneth Jay Lane Amber Beetle Ring you’ve been eyeing from your sister’s jewelry box; button yourself into your mother’s new Patterson J. Kincaid Jillian Fitted Blouse; stuff your feet into the Open Toe Platform Sling Back Pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes that your cousin has been raving about. Just remember to put everything back in its proper place; your day of dress-up will be our little secret.

Tightwad Tuesday: Halston Heritage Stretch Jersey One Shoulder Mini Caftan on the Cheap

Dolls, to your left feast your eyes upon Halston Heritage’s haute Stretch Jersey One Shoulder Mini Caftan – the very same one that graced the form of Sarah Jessica Parker (aka Carrie Bradshaw) in Sex and the City 2 as she navigated the gorgeous foreign lands of Abu Dhabi; to your right take a gander at eDressMe’s One Shoulder Peach Cocktail Dress.

Though constructed out of 100% polyester, as opposed to the 100% silk that makes up the Halston Heritage beauty; for $115.00, in comparison to the $325.00 price tag of the smoldering Halston number, it is every bit as perfect for helping a glamorous gal like yourself channel her inner Carrie Bradshaw – and at a price far more savory to the budget fashionista’s savings account!

Which role have you decided to undertake on this terrific Tuesday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?

Sunday Steals: Elizabeth and James Criss-Cross Tank for Less

My loves, to the left you will find yourselves taking a gander at Elizabeth and James’ chichi Criss-Cross Tank; to the right feast your eyes on BB Dakota’s daring Weston Tank.

While the BB Dakota beauty is slightly less seductively revealing than its high-end neighbor; for just $50.00, as opposed to the $195.00 pricetag of the jazzy Elizabeth and James gem, it is every bit as essential for one’s summer wardrobe – and at a price no fashionista can resist!

Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?


Fashionably yours!
