DESCRIPTION:
From Publishers Weekly The book melds two fads: Deal with having less during the recession, and the Girl, get a clue! category popularized by books like He's Just Not That into You. All rights reserved. A former department store buyer and marketing executive, Hoffman echoes the often trotted-out advice that women should invest in a few quality items they'll enjoy wearing, looking at or using for years to come, and cut back on everything else. Rather than being about saving money, the book is about spending it—the Hoffman way. . Much of her suggestions are obvious—shop at cheaper retail stores, for example, or get haircuts less often.

"So much wrong with this book" according to morganchick1990. I will give this book that there are a few good ideas. But this is not the book for you if you are serious about becoming debt free. It doesn't tell you how to save on essential, it talks about getting luxury items at a lower price. Some of the info in it is just wrong. It's poorly researched, disrespectful to many industries (the section on the farmer's market it just plain offensive), and on the whole not very help. So so it has some good points and tips, but at the end of the day it's not exactly showing you how to truly live within a budget. it's basically saying "go out and buy these key items that are costly and you're good". Well, that doesn't exactly solve the budget issue now does it?. horribly written Brandee Zukowski Couldn't even get through this book. It was so awful, not at all helpful. Mostly it was common sense.
Today's woman may have a dwindling stock portfolio, but that shouldn't make her bite one well-manicured nail with worry. A witty, recession-era guide to being thrifty while not forgoing the fabulous. Because it doesn't take oodles of moola to live well- and that's one trend that will never go out of style.. Rosalyn Hoffman dishes up the wisdom women need to get perfect style without busting what's left of their bank accounts. The author is a recession-era fashion guru, travel agent, grooming consultant, therapist, sommelier, and life coach all rolled into one, and with this book vows no coupon clipping, Prada depriving, carb hating allowed
