Since 2008 when our sister site, The Recessionista, was discovered by The New York Times as “A Label for a Pleather Economy ", the site and its traffic have steadily grown. That's no mean feat in a tough economy, where it's harder than ever for small businesses to survive and thrive. With a small budget, and love for living chic on the cheap The Recessionista has grown from a blogspot to a dot com, and now to a complete new design with a new logo. Don't be confused by sites that scream out "Fake it til you make it." The Recessionista is not about faking it in any shape, manner or form. There's nothing chic about a fake. The site is about being chic on the cheap. You'll recognize the new site by its distinctive new logo that pays homage to Chanel’s simple “little black dress.” We think the little black dress is the essential garment for recessionistas. A great little black dress can take you anywhere. Take a look at the newly designed The Recessionista today with streamlined navigation and new sections (Travel, Wine/Food and Beauty.) The new site offers more pages and enhanced images. Click here to subscribe.

Los Angeles: Divine Design 2012 Offers Great Shopping for a Great Cause
Save the Date Savvy Shoppers in Los Angeles! The 2012 edition for Project Angel Food's super Divine Design sale has officially been announced. The sale will kick-off to the general public after Thanksgiving in Los Angeles with General Shopping Days from Dec. 1 to 3. This unique shopping extravaganza offers fabuless fashion, home, beauty and gift items at 50-90% off. Check their website for details and tickets at Divine by Design. Be sure to get the $10.00 off discount coupon offered on the website page. Click here for details for details about the Gala Opening Event and VIP shopping party. Divine Design will kick off on Thursday, November 29th with an Opening Night Rock ‘n’ Roll Party which will be held inside the Divine Design Marketplace at 9900 Wilshire Boulevard (the former Robinson’s May building). Designers David Meister and Project Runway's Mila Hermanovski will be featured in the opening festivities. Mila will co-hosts Divine Design’s VIP Cocktail Shopping Party on Nov. 29th at 6:00 pm in the marketplace.
The sale benefits a cause that is near and dear to my heart: Project Angel Food. Project Angel Food is a free meal-delivery program that serves men, women and children debilitated by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses throughout Los Angeles County. The program literally brings nourishment to the needy. Next week the sale will bring retail nourishment to holiday shoppers looking for a bargain. Over 200 designers will contribute to this year's sale including: David Meister, BCBG, LAMB, Ports 1961, Trina Turk and many more.
The sale features men's clothing (Ted Baker), children's clothes, toys, plus designer brands favored by savvy shoppers everywhere. Another key attraction of the sale is top of the line skincare products offered by Kiehl's. Last year the Kiehl's products seemed to sell out in a hot minute. Kate Sommerville beauty products will also be featured. A new addition to this year's sale is a technology area sponsored by Time Warner cable. Time Warner Cable (TWC) is sponsoring a rock ‘n’ roll-inspired Signature Home Lounge outfitted with guitar wall fixtures, cobalt carpet, gunmetal walls and modern technology twists. Attendees will be able to participate in Social Media activities from the lounge by blogging, post or tweet, their messages which will them be displayed in the big lounge for all to see. If you haven' t shopped this sale before, remember the prices are reduced more each day of the sale, with the last day having the lowest, or final clearance prices. The only issue with going the last day is there may not be the best selection or everything, but on the other hand, you won't have the all the temptations either.
