    Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Lauren Conrad is Sweet and Simple

    Lauren Conrad is completely and utterly brilliant. She has somehow managed to parlay getting paid to turn her teenage/college-aged angst into an empire. She has a clothing line, a series of books (that I am unabashedly addicted to, btdubs), a lifestyle website (how very Gwyneth), and is a staple on best dressed lists.

    8 Under $20: Yummy Orange

    This season is all about brights, but the color that stands out above all the others this spring is orange. In every shade from pastel orange to coral-orange to fiery red-orange, the color is everywhere and on everything — from sweaters and dresses to sandals, bags, jewelry and more!

    Budget Stylista: It’s All About the Flats

    It’s still too cold for sandals and wedges (especially this April where Detroit witnessed a 4-inch snow storm on April 18th! WTF, Mother Nature?!), but we shudder at the thought of having to tuck our calves into our boots for the 1,478th day in a row. Flats are the perfect in-betweener.

    8 Under $20: Eco-Friendly Fashion

    This Friday, April 22, is Earth Day. In honor of that, I figured now was the perfect time to highlight some great eco-friendly fashion!

  • 8 Under $20: Stripes

    8 Under $20: Stripes

    I love stripes. I seriously own about 5 different striped tops, from tanks to sweaters to blouses, and I’d probably wear them every day if I didn’t get major pit stains all the time could! Stripes are not only cute and fun, but they’re super versatile, too!

    8 Under $20: Chambray

    Chambray is one of my favorite warm-weather fabrics: it’s coloring and similarities to denim make it incredibly versatile (meaning it looks good with EVERYTHING), and how lightweight and airy it is makes it practical and comfortable for hot weather. So when the temperatures start to rise, consider switching out your denim pieces for chambray instead.

    Budget Stylista: A Guide to Mixing Prints the Right Way

    Spring is here! Okay, so at the moment you might not know it, what with a major snow storm beating the crap out of the East Coast (I mean, dear weather, are you fo’ real? This is one April Fools joke I am not laughing at). But by all other accounts (mainly clothing store window displays and themed Starbucks gift cards), Spring is in the hizzy.

    Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Kelly Osbourne is Breezy and Beautiful

    So, her rock star father gets an MTV reality show where she gets to be a bratty, gothy, embarrassing teenager in front of millions of people, falls into oblivion after the show is cancelled, stays there for a few years, loses weight, learns how to apply makeup, goes on Dancing with the Stars…and is suddenly a red carpet staple?

    8 Under $20: Maxi Madness

    Maxi dresses have been popular for several seasons now and this year is no exception! Maxi dresses fit in with this season’s emphasis on ’70s fashion, and their easy, effortless style makes them perfect for the spring and summer.

    Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Whitney Port Looks Rad in Ruche

    Whitney Port is definitely my favorite blonde fashionista to come from The Hills (sorry, LC!) I’ve always admired her mix of boho, preppy, vintage, and contemporary pieces. She’s trendy, but still very much true to herself.

  • Shop Your Closet: Boyfriend Jeans

    Shop Your Closet: Boyfriend Jeans

    I’m being incredibly optimistic about the weather. After several weeks of gray skies, rain, snow, sleet and at times a strange hybrid of precipitation, the weather network is telling me it’s going to be sunny next week(!!!) And after months of only wearing things that can be stuffed into boots that make my feet sweat, all I want to do is show a little ankle (even if it means shaving my legs).

    Budget Stylista: Get Bright With Yo Bad Self

    This spring is all about bright bottoms, and mixing and matching big, bold colors. I love pairing two complementary colors together – think bright blue and orange, or pink and green. It just makes everything more exciting.

    8 Under $20: Tribal Jewelry

    Along with bold, bright bags and loose-fitting tops, tribal-themed accessories and clothing, particularly Aztec-inspired items, are going to be everywhere this spring. Personally, I’m a big fan of this trend in jewelry – the bright colors and interesting patterns and shapes create bold statement pieces that are as fun to wear as they are to look at.
