Luxe Budget

Do you want to look like a million bucks this fall? Then step into Xtabay this week. Besides having the most intoxicating collection of cocktail party and wedding dresses we also have some incredible fall work day wear. Coats and dresses you can wear your favorite boots with.  Most of them come from the infamous Bette estate and haven't ever been worn. Luxurious dress and coat sets in wool and cashmere. Coat and dress sets that would be $$$ if they were being made today. Even when Bette purchased them in the 1960's they were expensive!  A couple of her coats from 1968 have 450. price tags on them. Can you imagine what that would translate into today? Geesh Bette and you never even wore them! So if you want to look like you've been shopping at Neimans or Bergdorfs--come to Xtabay first and see if you can't look just as good while saving yourself a few thousand dollars.

I can't resist leaving you with a few of my favorite pretty dresses...

Email me at xtabayliz@gmail.com with any questions or stop in this week between 11-6pm to try some on.

Thanks!

The shelves are newly decorated with an exquisite hat collection I recently acquired from a long time collector.You have to see these hats--lots of feathers and veils. Party dresses have been selling like mad and it seems like the moment I put a real show stopper in the window it's gone. The new Butter London nail polishes have finally arrived with all sorts of new colors for fall.
