Hello beauties,

I saw this dress and this color and I was blown away. Purple has put itself on the map as a staple go to color in leu of black, now don’t get me wrong I love black and it has it’s place always in my wardrobe but you can’t wear it all the time . I know some can but not me , I still like the darker tones and I know that the look right now is very glam Goth . Contrary to popular thought you can also add dark blood red , grey, navy blue and purple, to that style. Rachel McAdams looks stunning in this dress , she knows it , we know it and the camera knows it too. As for my BudgetBeauty101 approved locations , this one is a free for all, just find stores that carry this deep purple and use your best fashionable judgement to look your best . See you all divas so very soon.

Live Love and Shop

This look is one of the seasons hottest and definitely one of the sexiest. The cut out dress has been around for a bit now but it has come through the mainstream pipe line just as it should . Easily available to you and I at a fraction of the cost , which is always Budget Beauty 101 approved. Kim Kardashian  has went basic black  all the way with hers, while Christina Ricci has a cut out that is beautifuly talored with  great detailing on the neck line . The idea of this image and style is to cover the body , but also give a little peek of skin to increase curiosity. What ever color you go for make sure you have the attitude to go with it. With a huge sale season upcoming get your X-mas list’s ready when it comes to bigger ticket items ,for these dresses if found in the right place can be well under the $150.00 range, places like H&M,which now has  aquired Jimmy Choo as there next celebirity designer , great stuff by the way,BCBG,and you know my favorite place ZARA.So get out and show some skin.

Hey Divas,

I know that we are all use to the darker tones when it comes to the fall and winter season. But I assure you that you will make an entrance of pure sexiness with any one of these dresses , and the reason for the head turning is the color. Cream or even the pastel/ muted pink like Hayden is wearing adds so much to any person, easily brightening up the face or party for that matter .And we all know, why go anywhere if you not going to make a entrance. The dress that Megan Fox is wearing is as simple as you can get with a silhouette , costly yes but we always have a solution for you guys at the BUDGET BEAUTY 101 price point.Lucy Lu’s dress is a little more forgiving on the body shape but non the less as visually effective. Location, Location, Location, this is not only for real estate. I was doing some per Christmas shopping , (that’s right I said Christmas ) and saw these dresses in so many different shapes ,fits and cuts but they all had one thing in common , the color. Places like Zara, BCBG and Winners prices well under the 100.00 mark , which sounds great to me and my pocket. When it comes to this look you can vamp it up with red lips or you can keep it hush with nude lips and clean light makeup. 

Good Luck and I cant wait to see your pictures keep them coming.

   

                

Guys and dolls , the LBD , is back and stronger then ever, and it is not the feeling of oh let me just throw this on . These looks have such distinction and an era of classic and clean , which you know I love and always support. Every red carpet had black on it this week, and not boring LBD’S either sexy LBD’S . Jennifer Lopez just torn the house down with this dress, I am still sourcing it but so far they are saying hugo boss, regardless we all know it isn’t 100.00 but as I always say you don’t have to spend a million to look like a million, I saw a similar one with my BUDGET BEAUTY 101 eye at Mango on sale for $75.00 but it is a little shorter, good luck girls, I know if they had it in my size I would have a new dress in my closet right now , I know you will have better luck then I did. I have also add Gwen Stephani, miss NO DOUBT herself , she just looks great and this look is not hard to achieve you just need an LBD , a belt black, tights and black heels , I know we all have those in our closets , so make it happen. See you gorgeous gals soon.

It is getting a little cold out there ladies and if you are anything like me it is getting tougher and tougher giving up my summer wardrobe, but I have a few tricks that will allow us a few more uses before we say goodbye officially. We all have our favorite summer dresses and now we can wear them into the fall without freezing or looking out of place , and we have all seen those people, please don’t be one of them. Now with these dresses that we love add a sweater with a matching thin belt or use contrasting color to add some punch. Miss Jackson added a mustard yellow belt to her outfit which tied to all together stylishly, while V.B ( Victoria Beckham) went chic all the way doing matching colors with her cardigan and the BUDGET BEAUTY 101 pricing , just head to my favorite shops , ZARA, H&M ,SMART SET. Most places will have these looks for under $30,00. So what are you waiting for GO,......

Hello, my beauties

I have been away for a bit , but I am back now, no surgery will stop me from shopping I promise you that. Okay so with everyone really tying their belts tight on spending, it was bound to hit all pockets of income.We even got some of the world hottest celebrities doing the same. My best friend Halle Berry who always looks fabulous is wearing the GAP-1969 denim, these are so great for most body types , I even have a pair, this jeans are a real hot ticket , they are moving fast in most stores. Check out the always sexy Natalie Portman , funny this picture was actual taken here at our cities international film festival. Look at those shoes straight from our beautiful ALDO on Bloor street . The funny thing is I had these shoes from a year and a half ago, I wrote about them as the newest staple for your close the nude shoe, and here it is again. If you don't have them get them , they really go with everything. Both of theses item are BUDGET BEAUTY 101 APPROVED , so go and get it girls. I have added some more pictures for you guys of fashion faces donning frugal finds

Demi's blazer is from the GAP as well, and Blake's Jeans are from the GAP to , but I also have seen the same cut at American Eagle Outfitters.

So Chic,

I must say , I have really never been all to gaga over Kristin's image but as of late she has really turned up the fashion dial . It may be all that HILLS money, I guess the cheque cleared. None the less she is just looking fablous ,so much more put together and just a hint of sophistication with out looking to old , which is a big problem for many of our starlets lately . They either are looking way to childish or way too old . I tip my hat to Kristin this outfit is perfect , and I cannot wait to implement this one in my wardrobe. In early posts I did mention the leather skirt so now it is just to find a great nude top to go with it which is not an issue , I saw 2 different types at ZARA's and one at H&M both under $30.00  getting the BUDGET BEAUTY 101 stamp of Approval and a beautiful silk blouse at Femme but the price is $140.00. Definitely not in my price range but if you can swing it I say get on board .Chat soon

  This look will suit all body types and skin tones , so go crazy. P.S theses shoe are HOT.

Is Winter her already !!

This cold snap needs to be nipped in the bud , and I know how we can do this while looking fabulous. I  also know many of you are still wishing summer was still her but we must as my mother saying" show a stiff upper lips", ie stay strong and forge ahead , so here we go. A must staple for this season is a suit and not just any kind of suit ,a statement suit, a suit that makes your career, a make or break suit. This suit must have shape and style no compromise here , either in fabric or in the craftsmanship. There is no missing this kind of suit. This suit needs to make a statement that says nothing but WOW, from top to toe pure precision.

Now BB101 price ranges of suits can go anywhere form $250.00- $5000.00 in a regular retail store. I myself got a great suit at TRISTAN for $350.00 ,simply stunning heather grey suit and FYI  all suits need a great tailor, so find yours. While trying to scope the runways I found these runway mavens.You may get some ideas. Run with it.

What can I say these are sexy and so on point for the fall must have season . Liquid Leather Leggings, I saw them on the runways last year, and I know we all saw Rhianna in them this year , she looked fearless in these bad boys. If there is one thing that you could buy this season that will go with either a hip rocker , or your boho chic, or a mainstream maven , this is it. Now let us get down to the brass tax of why you are here , how do you get them at my BUDGET BEAUTY 101 price point. We all know that they are ranging from $500-$2500.00 easily. Tada, We have found them at Zara's for only ........... ( pause) $39.90, that is Crazy, Crazy pricing and believe me they are going fast , some of you are getting hip to this game rather quickly , and I like it. I happened to be shopping with a friend of mine and I forced her to buy them and she looked flawless, we paired it with a frilly top for the office ( Looked great), and with a cardigan ( So Sexy). Forthy dollers later we were all happy, as it should be. Now I know there are some who cant wear the L.L.L due to body size or frame, no need to worry I have the perfect solution for you . A Leather skirt with black tights and black kitten heel boots. Listen Gweneth Paltrow did it and even she looked dangerous.

No time to waste here girls LET'S GO.
