Bargain Chic: White Mountain

Then he'd understand why these would be the ultimate Christmas gifts...

Chanel Suit from Spring 2009 Read-to-Wear Collection (price unknown, but I'm pretty sure it's very, very, very expensive.)

Christian Louboutin Trotte Avec Moi Black Buckle Boots (These suckers are hard to find, especially in black... I could only find them in brown @ net-a-porter.com for $1,445)

But, since Santa and his elves are on a budget this year, as is the rest of the country, I will settle for the just as glamorous and easier-on-the-wallet looks inspired by the real thing...

Evening's Promise Dress, Anthropologie, $158; Cala Lily Cafe Sweater Dress, Mod Cloth, $74.99

BR Monogram Bow-Tie Pleated Blouse, Banana Republic, $99.99; Sash-Tied Blouse, Newport News, $39

Metropolis Bolero in Black, Mod Cloth, $74.99; White Mt. Women's Celebration Boot, Endless.com, $69.90

I live in Phoenix, Arizona -- a place where people wear sandals year-round. I'm not fond of cold toes during the winter months, but once it hits about 80, the sandals, flip-flops and open-toe shoes come out of the closet onto my happy, slightly large, feet. Every spring/summer season, I revel in the new sandal styles. This year in particular, I'm searching for a cute pair of functional and fashionable sandals. I'm not talking flip-flops, but a classy pair of thong sandals. Hopefully I'll find some before the summer's over. Luckily in Phoenix, the summer weather usually doesn't end until mid to late October! In the meantime, here are a few samples of some great sandals and great prices...
