THE HOFFMAN WAY

Some occasions, some weekends, and basically every now and then, I want something a little special, the guaranteed compliment dress and each and everytime, Mara Hoffman dresses come through.

They are definitely priced higher than high street pieces but are so worth it. If full price is a little much for your "I need to get my savings on" budget, then I highly recommend Ebay, Poshmark- they often have markdowns and sold out pieces.

There's also sometimes sample sales in the city, like last summer when I scored some of my current faves. Scroll down for more of my picks.
