Splurging on new clothes this season may be out of the question for many women.  But former fashion editor and NYC boutique owner Mariana Nuziale says with a few inexpensive additions to your closet plus an investment in some hot denims, you can easily freshen up your look.  The owner of Lola's Boutique says you really don't have to sacrifice style while sticking to your bottom line.Here are her picks for looking fierce in Fall 2008:

UNIQUE SCARVES:  Nuziale says a great looking scarf is a definite pick-me-up to any outfit. Scarves are no longer worn with coats and gloves. When you are wearing that special scarf you keep it on long after you have hung up the coat!!! You can shop for 60's inspired scarfs at your local TJ.MAXX as well as any great website, or if you're on a hunt for a one of a kind scarf, feel free to rummage through any thrift/ vintage store.

STATEMENT JEWELRY:  This season, Nuziale, who has dressed celebrities including model Niki Taylor and TV personality Kelly Ripa, says she spotted huge necklaces all over the runway and fashion magazines. "Personally, I couldn't escape them nor did I want to.  They are big and bold and they add such confidence to any little black dress. Dress up the jeans and tee look with one of the necklaces and it's sure to be a hit. When you invest in a unique piece of jewelry, it will typically outlast just one season. Whether it's new or vintage or an inexpensive designer knock off,  you can never go wrong with jewels," she advises.

FRESH COAT: You can find a perfect coat and still have some money left over for that perfect scarf and gloves according to Nuziale who encourages fashionistas on a budget to go vintage....and even consider checking out what's for grabs on Ebay.  "There are some amazing coats out there that you can bid on," she says.

INVEST IN JEANS:  Nuziale says this season, she decided to carry jeans in her boutique.  "I'm not talking about your typical jeans. I'm talking about jeans that are made for a women with curves. The jeans start at a size 10 and end at size 22. They are trendy and look absolutely fabulous!!!The fit is amazing and I can't keep enough in stock," she explains.  The mom of new baby girl says if you can, investing in a good pair a jeans that are made for a woman will take you far.  "There are plenty of lines out there that cater to those of us who have children and don't want a muffin top! I recommend Svoboda for us ladies over a size 8. For all you gorgeous gals who wear a size 0-8 after childbirth don't be afraid to spend a little extra and purchase a 7 for all mankind jeans. Those are great and they do wonders for your butt," says Nuziale.
