Along with the requisite skinny jeans, ankle boots are a style that is here to stay. If the ever popular Acne Pistol is too much of a splurge at $570 there is a great and personally tested alternative that is as easy on the wallet as it is on your feet.

Savvy shoppers just got savvier with the invention of new tools to ensure that you not only get a bargain but you get the best bargain. I have been using two of these quite recently and have been impressed with the results.
The first is Hukkster – a Chrome plug in that lets you set a notification when the product goes on sale. For some sites this even gets granular, allowing you to specify your size or % off. While there is loads of room for improvement – you only get a limited number of “Hukks” and it doesn’t work on all sites, a lot of the major ones are covered and there is only room for them to expand. Try it out at www.hukkster.com.
Hukkster Online Sale Alert Chrome Plugin
Next up is Honey, also a chrome plug-in, and when the Honey button shows up when you check out on a site all you need to do is click. The industrious little program buzzes around the Internet, collecting every known, current coupon code out there and automatically applies them to get you the best deal.

When looking for luxury for less there are some brands that are impossible to come by and still have a sense of confidence that what you are getting is 100% authentic. That is because brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and others tightly restrict their distribution so the only chance for a taste of these luxury items at a discount is by purchasing a gently loved item. Ebay is rampant with fakes so check out Portero, which guarantees everything they sell to be the real deal.

And deal it is. Check out this Louis Vuitton Brown Monogram Canvas Speedy 25 Bag for only $225!

Nothing says look at me more than a bit of sparkle, and what better way to go the boho hippie route than a slender bejeweled headband that can easily be dressed either up or down. This Tasha Vintaged Crystal Headband is also considerably less expensive that its other crystalized compatriots, and has glowing reviews on Nordstrom.
