CheapChica’s Guide to Style — The CheapChica's Guide to Style


Better Homes and Gardens…and me!

by cheapchica11 on April 23, 2012

Part of my passion for fashion has to do with finding great bargains at unbeatable prices.  You know I love nothing more than having someone compliment my outfit and then sharing how little I spent in actually putting it together!

Well Better Homes and Gardens shares my love for fabulous fashions (and homes) at a price that’s accessible for everyone and that’s why I was so honored to be a part of their May issue.

The shoot was so much fun…getting your hair and make up done, being professionally lit and having a wonderful (and very cute!) photographer coach you through endless poses (I hate having my picture taken!) was all pretty amazing.  I’m thrilled with how the photos turned out, but most of all I love that BHG and their wonderful fashion team was so true to my personal style and budget with the clothing/shoes/accessories selection for the shoot!

The styling was a total collaboration which I really enjoyed but there was one outfit that really spoke to me and I made sure it got photographed that day…click through the rest of the pictures from the shoot and let me know if you can guess which outfit I’m talking about!

If you haven’t already, please pick up the May issue of Better Homes and Gardens…I share plenty of packing tips that you’re sure to use this summer along with my rules for buying jeans!

Congrats on the fashion spread in Better H&G! Looks great. My guess on your fave outfit? I’d say the one with the sunny yellow Line & Dot top. :-)

Also enjoy watching all your fashion segments on NY Live every day!

A very nice spread! This is our opportunity to finally see YOU in the pieces you select. You did not disappoint. I especially like the outfit on page 142. I’ll be at the mall trying to find those shoes. Hot!!

You are such an inspiration! I notice it when I go shopping. I keep thinking, how would she pair this or that? And keeping your advice in mind while looking through the jungle of styles out there makes it so much easier to decide what to take home. Congratulations and thank you so much!
