About Kathryn Finney
When Kathryn Finney started her wildly successful blog "The Budget Fashionista" in the summer of 2003, she had no idea she was creating a movement.
Kathryn's frank advice and Midwestern charm turned a small blog about looking fabulous on a budget into the #1 independent fashion blog on the Internet, with over 2 million impressions per month and a famously loyal, 21,000 member fan club known as the "B.A.B" (Budget Advisory Board).
The release of her Amazon best-selling book, How to Be a Budget Fashionista- The Ultimate Guide to Looking Fabulous For Less (Random House/Ballantine Books) made her the first fashion blogger to receive a book deal from a major publishing house. The book has sold over 25,000 copies and is currently in its 6th printing.
Kathryn has been profiled in The New York Times, Instyle, People Style Watch, Wall Street Journal, Essence Magazine, Redbook Magazine, Sister 2 Sister, and over 500 other print publications. She’s also a frequent style contributor to television shows such as NBC’s TODAY Show, CNN Headline News, E! News and ABC’s Good Morning America and has served as a spokesperson for top brands including Febreze, Paypal, Rightfit, Marshalls/TJ Maxx and Sears.
