Today Show fashion segment

Last week I told you guys about my upcoming Today Show appearance. Well, it aired live on Tuesday morning and hopefully you had a chance to watch it. But if not, you can check out the clip below. I also wanted to show you some behind the scenes photos.
The segment was about how women of all ages {they ranged from 30 to 61} and sizes {4 to 12} can rock trends. And since I'm all about a deal, everything was less $100.
Though I love printed garments, some people are a bit curious as to how to actually wear them. Check out the clip below to see various ways you can incorporate the trend in a way that works for you, from tips to mix prints to how to use accessories to jazz up your everyday wardrobe.

Rachel Roy bootsWe all know accessories are a quick, easy way to update your style. But um, some of the hottest bags, shoes and jewelry on the market are also extremely expensive.

I'm absolutely obsessed with Celine bags, but paying a few grand for a purse, is something I can't see doing {oh, and it's way out of my budget}.But during my Pix 11 Savvy Shopper segment, I showed a viewer how to get fly affordable accessories. Naturally we went to Loehmann's for some economically reasonable retail therapy. They have designer pieces at up to 65 percent off, and last fall I snagged an amazing Ellen Tracy cape during their blogger preview event, so I know first hand your dollar can stretch here.

---------------------Am I the only one who's tired of breaking the bank just for makeup? Burning a hole in your wallet for a tube of lip gloss is finally coming to an end with the launch of a new line that markets their products at less than $15.
LiSi Cosmetics was founded in 2011 by a couple who thought the industry was missing high-end merchandise at an affordable price. The great thing about the line is that it caters to women of every race and complexion. You can relate just from noticing the diversity of their models.

You guys may know that I'm the Savvy Shopper reporter for Pix 11 News in NYC. And I've got a great opportunity for one lucky reader/viewer to appear on camera with me for an upcoming segment.

If you have a closet full of clothes that are just collecting dust and taking up space, why not revamp your wardrobe? I'm looking for a woman who will let me go through her closet and tell her how she can cash in on those old clothes. During the Pix 11 segment, we'll find creative ways so you can get rid of the old and free up some cash for a new wardrobe! Updating your style on a budget is something we can all use, especially with the upcoming summer months.You should:
  • Live in NYC

  • Allow myself and the camera person access to your home and closet
  • Have awesome, gently worn clothes you need to get rid of
