NY: Kathryn Finney’s The Budget Fashionista 5th Anniversary party

Posted on September 9th, 2008 by jayenare.
Categories: Boutiques, Fashion, Frolaborators, NYC, Nitelife.

With all the fashion week madness going on in New York- its always refreshing to stop by the events that everyone can benefit from… ya know, with music, spirits, clothes at a thrifty price, and goody goody bags.

We supported Kathryn Finney, AKA “The Budget Fashionista”, at her 5th Anniversary Fashion Week bash last night in NY. Kathryn started the popular thebudgetfashionista.com out of a need to share how she managed to find harmony between budget woes and designer fashion must have tantrums. She penned the bestselling book How to Be a Budget Fashionista and has been blowing up all over television and magazines in her quest to keep the budgeter’s mind creative when it comes to all things fashion.

Last night’s event was held at the Housing Works Thrift Store- so you know our tongues were wagging! With price tags ranging from $90 to $12 on all things from designer clothes to shoes- um yes. $12… we obviously found a new obsession. Dashing Diva was offering manicures, Lane Bryant provided real life models, we ate cheese and drank wine to good music.

I’d read earlier on her site thebudgetfashionista.com, that “In her free time, Kathryn likes to crank call credit card companies, plot ways for Marc Jacobs to premier a clothing line at Wal-Mart, use her glue gun with reckless abandon, and shop at her local “Sally’s Boutique” (aka Salvation Army).” And after chatting with the queen fashionista – we concur the quote to be absolutely true. Not only completely down to earth, but her brother and mother were there in support- and the whole family represented something fierce. Kathryn’s bash was the sophisticated line between high fashion and all of our real budgets.

some frotos…
