I recently wrote a story for Reuters-FindLaw and it spoke to the horrors of cheap plastic surgery. On a blog that talks about saving money and cheap celebrity fashion tips, I had to address this dark issue.

A woman nearly died in New York City, after having a liposuction performed by a 27 year old manicurist.

Okay, perhaps “manicurist” is not the right word, but the spa owner who performed the lipo was licensed to perform hair, nails and waxing. She was not licensed to perform invasive plastic surgery.

With the prom dress shopping season in full swing and wedding season approaching, I couldn’t resist doing a few posts on affordable and cheap dresses, especially since I love dresses! These dresses could be great cheap prom dresses or affordable bridesmaid dresses, for brides on a budget.

Every year, Oscar fashion is some of the most sought-after celebrity fashion of the year. As a result, many discount designers come out with replica Oscar dresses shortly after the Academy Awards. Replica Oscar dresses are not always exact matches to the celebrity’s original Oscar fashion, but nevertheless, for a budget fashionista, the replica Oscar dress is a huge fashion bargain and a great way to emulate celebrity fashion.

The Academy Awards aired last week and sure enough, the discount designers have begun their replica Oscar dresses, just in time for the prom dress shopping season.

Who doesn’t want to know how to find bargain designer fashion?  I’m always looking for good designer deals, cheap shoes or bargain handbags. 


Here are some of my favorite budget fashionista websites and blogs:

1. Of course, how can I have any list of bargain fashionista websites without mentioning The Budget Fashionista, a New Jersey based website that has coupons, discount fashions and bargain styles.  I really like the fact that this site discusses fashion for the every-day woman, by showing some fashions available at Target stores and at the same time, showing styles from Macy’s.
