shop smarter. dress better.
a note from dionne:
Budget and luxury often don’t go hand-in-hand, but in my world they do.
I graduated from my Master’s program in 2009 and with my degree came student loan debt. Needing to maintain a professional wardrobe, I turned to thrift stores, consignment boutiques and outlet malls for my fill of luxury goods and haven’t looked back since.
You don’t have to jump on the latest trend or social media soundbite in order to curate a beautiful wardrobe. Most of the time, you already own everything you need in order to create a look that’s authentically you.
My expectation is that as you peruse this site, you will be inspired and educated to make shopping decisions in line with YOUR budget. Again, it doesn’t take much to create a style all your own.
In style…Dionne

A guide to the best budget luxury shopping in the sunshine state!
As a South Floridian, I’ve seen the changes in the shopping landscape, especially over the last decade. Already a shopping hub for Central and South America and the Caribbean, Miami has quickly become the new fashion capital for all things swim.
My shopping guide is a curated list of luxury retail centers OFFERING DEALS OF UP TO 75% OFF! Included are stores from Dade County, up the coast through Broward and West Palm Beach, and over to the West Coast.

do you need a personal shopper?
One of the reasons I’m so great at shopping is that #1, I’ve clearly defined my personal style and #2, I’m not afraid to take fashion risks.
I often say that we take so many people into the fitting room with us when we try on clothing that it’s impossible to hear our own voice. We’ve grown up with the fashion opinions of partners, parents, siblings, distant relatives and others and it can be challenging to decipher what’s good for us or not. In my work as a stylist and personal shopper, my goal is to help you cut out the noise and decide for yourself what’s best for you…
