MONEY may be tighter than usual, but that doesn’t mean you can’t please the fashionistas on your list this holiday season.
There are plenty of great clothes and accessories in stores now that will bring a smile to the red-lacquered lips of even the most discerning trendoids.
We trolled high-end stores across the city, searching for the most fashionable gifts to give, head to toe.
Then, we set out to find equally fab substitutes that are much easier on the wallet.
