Anna Johnson is not a tea-bag squeezer, a penny-pincher, or inherently thrifty in any way—but she knows how to enjoy the finer things in life . . . for much, much less! In Savvy Chic , she shares her secrets on how to dress, decorate, entertain, and travel in high style without breaking the piggy bank. Style: Get "rich girl" chic for dimes and master the fine art of thrift-shop vintage. Decorating: Create exquisite curtains with Chinese lace tablecloths and shop the flea market like a stylist.

Leisure: Take the town with nothing but a ball gown and twenty dollars or enjoy the most original dates in the history of love, for less of course.
