Shoestring Chic is a charming, fully illustrated book of insider information aimed at women with an interest in fashion, beauty and shopping - but lacking a black Amex account. In today's economy, who isn't living on a budget! The book's vibrant art is paired with 101 tips on living the luxe life without spending a fortune, within the broad themes of shopping, fashion, and beauty. Where can you find a wedding dress in Paris for $100? Or have a Bergdorf Goodman experience for under a twenty? She also shows you how to shop the European way, and to take heart in long-lost gems from your own closet. Throughout the book, today's top designers chime in on how they define "chic" - reassuringly doable on a shoestring!
