About The Author

Khrista Trerotola

Khrista Trerotola learned at young age how to do a price adjustment at the Gap. And although "Trerotola" doesn't mean "frugal fashionista" in Italian, after examining her lineage, you may very well think it should: Her great great grandfather was a self-made designer, and Great Grandfather Trerotola and her Poppy, were two savvy clothiers.

This Diva on a Dime prefers bargains over budgets, craftiness over credit, fine dining deals over fine dining debt, and being savvy over shy--and is committed to sharing those with you.
