I've been resisting the dominatrix-style sandals.

But these Nine West "Jessica" sandals caught my eye. They're marked down 25 percent to $49 and if I buy another pair, I get the whole purchase 20 percent off.

Is it time for some sexy sandals? Is it always? -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

I just discovered a Website that has everything from designer names like Badgley Mischka, Anna Sui and Nicole Miller to great looking dresses for under $100.

Find them at Dresses under $100

Having big boobs isn't always an asset to be coveted. Just ask anyone larger than a 36C.

Everyone -- no matter what their size -- wants to look like a hot chick, especially on Valentine's Day. But often bras that support you look like they were made for a nunnery.

Some of the prettiest underthings for busty broads can be found at dirtydollslingerie.com. They not only have pretty bras (sizes 30C to 44DDD), they also sell body shapers, panties and "cha cha cheeky shorts."

This bra comes in After Mighnight and Sheer Stocking for $95. They aren't cheap, but they are sexy.

Say Happy Valentine's Day to someone special.

At Shop-O-Matic, we like to save money but still get great things. But every once in awhile don't you just want to admire the new and fresh, for once escape the land of the picked over and shopworn? We can fantacize about ignoring price tags, just buying what we love when we see it. I've been budgeting so long, I really don't think I could do it, pay straight retail, can you?

Neiman Marcus has unveiled Diane Von Furstenburg's new Spring line. Very pretty, very fresh. I have a thing for black and white, so this one really caught my eye. Too short for my 'not-18-anymore' legs, but she met my needs with the 3/4 length sleeves.

I'm so glad the Spring clothes are out. Winter is a long dry spell for Florida shopaholics.

Here's how you can call it a bargain...if you spend $200 or more online, shipping is free.

Don't go to Macy's in Florida today without the $70 in coupons in today's Sun Sentinel.

If you have last-minute shopping to do, you might as well get a deal: $10 off of every $50 spent and $25 off of $100. That's on regular and sale items so look for the specials and apply the coupon.

Macy's coupons are valid Sunday through Tuesday, Dec. 21-23. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

Maybe we can't look like Kate Moss, Milla Jovich or Kim Cattrall (Who would have the courage at 51 to pose nude with only sushi covering essential body parts?). But I digress. You can buy lingerie from one of their fave spots -- mylausa.com..

I got the tip from InStyle.com, one of my best tipsters. The lingerie InStyle featured was out of stock, but I found this Colette Babydoll at 20 percent off. It was $315 and is now $252.

Don't you love it? It very glam, very sexy and very naughty. The lingerie combines sheer leopard-skin print chiffon and black sheer Chantilly lace. A bed jacket and tie side panty are also available.

This is so hot that Paris Hilton may also be a fan! It could heat up your marriage.

If you have an overwelming appetite for accessories, For Love 21 is your destination.

The sister store to Forever XXI is at the Dolphin Mall in Miami. As my shopping sister Kathy recently wrote, we had a great time picking up jewelry, belts and other items -- mostly under $10 -- at For Love 21.

I tried on a cute hat and bought some belts, but passed on some really fun boots (why didn't I get those! Only $36.) What's great is that anything in this store won't do too much damage to your wallet.

Great place to find holiday gifts for the young fashionistas in your life. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

Suck it in girls, it's nearly the season for little black dresses and evening gowns. Thanks to Spanx founder Sara Blakely, you don't have to hold your breath all evening.

And thanks to Neiman Marcus Last Call at Miami's Dolphin Mall, you can buy the Spanx original design -- tummy control and flab smoothing to just below the knee -- for only $12, regularly $20.

Since inventing Spanx -- why didn't we think of that? -- Blakely has expanded her line to many varieties including textured tights, slimming apparel, bras and socks. Her black pencil skirt, a retro favorite this fall season, has a built-in liner to smooth and shape you. The "Bod-a-Bing" skirt, at right, is $68 at Spanx.com.

You go Sara. Women everywhere thank you. -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

I'm ashamed to admit I was watching the 60th anniversary Emmys' red carpet last night. What a waste of an evening just to see "who" celebrities are wearing. Let's chalk it up to guilty pleasure.

I was not impressed by most dresses. What I did notice is that nearly all of them, young and old, had luminescent skin -- it just glowed. This was especially true on Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon and others who wore strapless or off-the-shoulder gowns.

No doubt they spent all day at a spa -- in fact celebrity admitted it in a TV interview.

So what are we non-celebrities to do for such skin? An occasional spa visit helps.

"Spa Chic" treatments for $99 are available until Sept. 30 at Fort Lauderdale area spas. Some of the ritziest spas are included such as the Contour Spa at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and The Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood.

Check it out at Spa Chic. It's a promotional event through the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. Maybe you can look like a celebrity, too -- Marcia "Bargain Hunter" Pounds

If you don't know about dailycandy.com, check it out. You can sign up for local shopping info, national or both.

Here's a great tip of an event this week: toffmiami Sale 7-10 p.m. today (Sept. 11) at 4434 N. Bay Road, Miami Beach. It's more than just shopping for 20 percent off designer duds from Anna Sui, Jill Stuart and Krelwar. There will be cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

To show you what toffmiami sells, I checked out toffmiami.com and found this sexy Geren Ford dress in a cotton/linen blend.. The regular price is $246 and it's on sale for $73.80. That's even a better bargain than the 20 percent off sale.

Make it a girl's night out! Have a drink for me.

I'm a fan of InStyle magazine http://www.instyle.com/instyle/
I'm a much bigger fan of any help that gets me to that state of fabulosity (Kimora, thank's for coining that word). So when I heard that the magazine's editors created Instant Style, I had to buy.

Although I know what looks good I don't always do justice while shopping or getting dressed (there have been a few fashion faux paux). If your fashion impairment has to do with putting an outfit together, then start turning these pages.

The book's useful layout is full of pictures and explainations on what works for different body types. There are tips on wardrobe pieces that are a must.

These suggestions won't be soon outdated because as every fashionista knows, classic pieces of clothing, shoes and accessories are timeless. Not that your wardrobe doesn't need the occasional update, but if you invest wisely, purchases go a long way.

The book retails for $29.95 at major book stores like Barnes & Nobles http://www.barnesandnoble.com/index.asp but there is currently an online offer for $23.96 and members pay $21.56. Check Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/ for prices ranging from $19.77 or less for used copies.

Wishing you a stylish life,
Heather.

Betcha that some of you would have loved to buy the Norma Kamali suit that Miranda wore in the Sex and the City movie (see below), put cringed at the triple-digit price. Me, too.

Cringe no more, fashionistas. While flipping through a Lands End catalog this weekend, I came across this "Slender Tunic" suit. It isn't exactly like the Miranda's, but it has been dipping in the same gene pool. And better yet, this one can hide body flaws -- with its shirring and draped front. It claims to make you look a size smaller. If you buy it, let me know if the claim is true or just hype for all of us bathing suit phobics.

It comes in several sizes, incuding regular torso, short torso, women's, women's petite and women's mastectomy. Colors vary by size and include blackberry, agave, rich brown, black and black/ivory lotus print.

Better yet, the price is right. Depending on size, it ranges from $82.50-$92.50. See www.landsend.com for details.

See ya at the beach.

The Sex and the City movie is out today. Will you be there?

The girls are back! When you see Miranda, aka Cynthia NIxon second from right, on a getaway with her Sex and the City gal pals in Mexico, she'll be wearing this red hot swinsuit from Norma Kamali.

Just love that sexy style that reminds me of something Marilyn Monroe would have worn. I found the info in an email from InStyle.com.

The magazine Web site says the Mio swimsuit is $350 (kind of pricey) from normakamalicollection.com.

Wonder how many gals will be seen on SoFla beaches wearing this number? What do you think?

If you have the bod, these folks have the swimwear.

OK, I know you may risk looking like a Playbioy Bunny or even a hooker, but you could always wear this stuff in the boudoir. Your man (as they say in Cosmo) will love it.

Check beachbunnyswimwear.com for a selection of really sexy stuff that looks like it is for those who never go into the water.

The line is designed by swimsuit model Angela Chittenden. If your honey recognizes the suits, don't panic. They have been featured in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue and on E!

The suit at right may be small, but it's not cheap. The top is $119 and the bottom is $119. Happy man hunting, babes.
