Shedding our snuggies has got us thinking about improving our <strong>bedtime wares</strong>.</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s a chic slip of a nighty, menswear-inspired PJs, or the classic boxer + tee combo, here&#8217;s our roundup of the <strong>chicest ways to catch up on your beauty sleep</strong> this summer.</p>
<p>This vintage short-sleeve set from<strong><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sleepwear/sleepsets/PRDOVR~80295/80295.jsp" target="_blank"> J. Crew</a></strong> takes traditional PJs to the next level. We’re torn between the sweet pink pair or classic blue.</p>
<p><strong>Forever21</strong>’s <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&amp;Category=sleepwear_womens-pajama&amp;ProductID=2034706014&amp;VariantID=" target="_blank">rose print robe</a> is both chic <em>and</em> cheap at only <strong>$18.80</strong>.<a href="http://sleepyjones.com/women/clothing/products/tauba-short-bengal-stripe/red-blue-stripe/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26706" title="CheapChicas_SleepyJonesPajamas" src="http://cheapchicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/CheapChicas_SleepyJonesPajamas1-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" /></a></p>
<p>Nothing beats <strong>Eberjey</strong> when it comes to comfort and style. Try out their <a href="http://www.eberjey.com/intimate/chemises/bardot-3-4-sleeve-chemise.html" target="_blank">Bardot ¾ Sleeve Chemise</a> and you’ll be a fan for life.</p>
<p>We’re obsessed with <strong>Sleepy Jones</strong>, the new loungewear line launched by (who else?) Kate Spade’s husband, Andy. Check out their menswear-inspired <a href="http://sleepyjones.com/women/clothing/products/tauba-short-bengal-stripe/red-blue-stripe/" target="_blank">Tauba Shorts</a> and you’ll understand why.</p>
<p><strong>Victoria’s Secret</strong> gets sweet with their <strong>$34.50</strong> <a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/sleepwear/new-arrivals/eyelet-lace-babydoll?ProductID=114227&amp;CatalogueType=OLS" target="_blank">eyelet lace babydoll</a>.</p>
<p>Sweet dreams!</p>

I&#8217;m always on the hunt for the perfect neutral flip flop that I can dress up or dress down so when I saw this<strong> Valentino</strong> pair at Nordstrom my heart nearly skipped a beat&#8230; and no, not because of the price tag! I fell in love because they&#8217;re that perfect hybrid of casual chic that can be oh-so elusive and now I had to find them&#8230;for less of course!</p>
<p>I came across <a href="http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=109&amp;productId=64126&amp;color=BLACK&amp;altImageId=1">an almost identical pair at Wet Seal</a> and for <strong>$13 bucks</strong>, I picked them up in not one, but three colors. They&#8217;re available online in coral and black but I found all three colors in store.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be wearing these all summer and boy am I glad I didn&#8217;t spend almost $300 on a pair of jelly sandals! <em>Suckers! </em></p>

Aside from her enviable resume (she&#8217;s acted alongside Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt), she&#8217;s also adorable and has mastered her own chic-without-being-flashy LA look.</p>
<p>On a recent lunch with beau <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Pacey</span> Joshua Jackson (did we mention they&#8217;ve been dating since 2006?), Diane was spotted in a short-sleeve cheongsam-style dress. Since we kind of want to be her, we&#8217;ve found a way for you to match her look for much less.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.pixiemarket.com/dresses/floral-dream-dress.html" target="_blank">Floral Dream Dress</a> from beloved NYC-boutique Pixie Market is adorable and only <strong>$38</strong>, making it a total steal. We LOVE ModCloth for a lot of reasons and <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/cultural-center-dress" target="_blank">this dress</a> is just one of them. Aside from the cheongsam-style, it&#8217;s also got a vintage, 50&#8217;s-gal vibe which we can&#8217;t get enough of this season, and it&#8217;s priced at <strong>$84</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/cultural-center-dress"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-26236" title="Look for Less - ModCloth" src="http://cheapchicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/jpg" alt="" width="221" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>And for Diane&#8217;s super-sweet and totally weareable flats? We found a crazy cheap pair at <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&amp;Category=shoes_flats&amp;ProductID=2040997291&amp;VariantID=" target="_blank">Forever21</a> for <strong>under $20</strong>.</p>
<p>The best thing about this look is its versatility. Whether you&#8217;re out for drinks and pairing your look with a side part and a bold lip, or having a casual outdoor lunch with <em>your</em> Josh Jackson, this sweet-summer dress and ballet flat combo will keep you on trend, comfortable, and looking cute &#8211; for so much less.</p>

Her trick with this look? Color&#8230; </span><em>Major</em><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> color.<br />
</span></p>
<p>Most of us have a simple dress that we love and if you don&#8217;t you can pick one up for under $50 bucks <a href="http://www.target.com/p/kate-young-for-target-drop-waist-dress-purple/-/A-14360781#prodSlot=large_1_16">in the same color as GP&#8217;s here</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>But after wearing it a few times, the novelty can wear off because of it’s a basic cut and solid color. The fix? Add a color block pump a la <strong>Gwyneth</strong> and all things old are new again!<a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-nam-S2013/358009/1215002/COMBINATION+HIGH+HEEL+SANDAL"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-25876" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-22 at 7.29.43 PM" src="http://cheapchicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Screen-Shot-2013-04-22-at-7.29.43-PM1.png" alt="" width="220" height="214" /></a><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Her</span><strong> Michael Kors</strong><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> pumps (</span><em>$275</em><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">) are a total outfit maker, but </span><em>budget breaker!</em><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> So I found </span><em><strong><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=665768002&amp;tid=plaff3152429&amp;ap=2&amp;siteID=plafcid105">this</a></strong></em><strong> </strong><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">orange and gold pair from</span><strong> Chinese Laundry</strong><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> for only</span><strong> </strong><em>$69</em><strong>!</strong><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> Even better&#8230;</span><strong>Zara</strong><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> has a great</span><strong><em> <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-nam-S2013/358009/1215002/COMBINATION+HIGH+HEEL+SANDAL">option</a></em></strong><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> in several color-ways for under </span><em>$50</em><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">!</span></p>
<p>A more casual option are <strong><a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-mossimo-supply-co-lakitia-flip-flop-brown/-/A-14403396#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink">these sandals</a> </strong>from<strong> Target. </strong>Paired with a cute white t-shirt and jeans, or a fun sundress, these sandals are a <em>no brainer!</em> And coming in at only <strong><em>$16.99</em></strong>, you are sure to get a ton of bang for your buck!</p>
<p>Two toned shoes are a very simple way to update your favorite outfit (and wardrobe) without having to spend tons of money.  So, before you toss that <em>“ boring”</em> dress, rethink your options, and reinvent  yourself with this season’s hottest color-blocked shoes!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-style/pictures/10-ways-to-update-your-look-right-now-201294/21738"><img class="size-full wp-image-25688 alignleft" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-30 at 4.49.09 PM" src="http://cheapchicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-30-at-4.49.09-PM1.png" alt="" width="234" height="554" /></a>Jessica Alba is one of my favorite celeb fashionistas. She has a knack for wearing basic pieces with the volume turned <em>wayyyy</em> up. Case in point, her &#8220;running errands&#8221; outfit pictured here. While it may be made up of everyday basics, it&#8217;s how she puts them together that makes all the difference&#8230;oh, and color helps too!</p>
<p>For instance?  The star&#8217;s <em>amazinggg</em> bag! I love the pop of orange, it&#8217;s boxy shape (very on trend) and the cross-body practicality all wrapped in one very cool package. It&#8217;s the kind of bag we all need, especially when <strong>F21 </strong> has this almost identical <em><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&amp;Category=ACC&amp;ProductID=1027705498&amp;VariantID=">version</a></em> <strong>for just </strong><em><strong>$19</strong>! </em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&amp;Category=ACC&amp;ProductID=1027705498&amp;VariantID="><img class="size-full wp-image-25689 alignright" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-30 at 5.09.22 PM" src="http://cheapchicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-30-at-5.09.22-PM.png" alt="" width="288" height="284" /></a>Another seemingly normal, but total outfit-maker is Jessica’s denim vest. This should be your go-to piece for transitional outfits this Spring. I found <strong><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&amp;Category=Outerwear&amp;ProductID=2055986434&amp;VariantID=">this one</a> </strong>at <strong>F21 </strong>as well, for under <em>$20!</em></p>
<p>Next up in our quest for less&#8230;pastel-colored <strong><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=LOVE21&amp;Category=bottom&amp;ProductID=2044421024&amp;VariantID=">jeans</a> </strong><em>(under $30)</em>, neutral <em style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&amp;Category=ACC&amp;ProductID=1040494980&amp;VariantID=">scarf</a> </em><em>(under $11)</em> and some very cool<strong> <em><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&amp;Category=ACC&amp;ProductID=1000050188&amp;VariantID=">shades </a></em></strong>(<em>$5) <strong>all from</strong><strong> F21</strong></em>! Um, can I buy stock in Forever 21? What would we do without this store!</p>
<p>My favorite thing about these pieces is their versatility. They can all be worn daily with pretty much any ensemble&#8211;if like Jessica, you make them pop! We may never get to walk the red carpet, but who says your everyday clothes can&#8217;t have <em>some serious star power</em>!?</p>

I&#8217;ve always been a Kohl&#8217;s shopper and I&#8217;m partial to their LC Lauren Conrad label but lately I&#8217;ve found myself buying more and more Simply Vera Vera Wang pieces including these <a href="http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1251820/simply-vera-vera-wang-platform-high-heels-women.jsp">nude perforated sandals</a> that are now <strong>on sale for $49.99</strong>!</p>
<p>They remind me so much of a Prada pair I passed up years ago at the Bergdorf shoe sale &#8212; even at 50% off they were still too expensive&#8211; and I&#8217;ve thought about them ever since.  Now I can finally stop <em>thinking about them</em> and <em>actually wear them</em> without feeling one pang of pain about the price!</p>
<p>And if you love these shoes as much as I do, look for them on my upcoming segment on <strong>The Today Show on April 4th</strong>&#8230;I&#8217;ll show you how to wear them with one of Springs hottest, but trickiest trends!</p>

<p>One of my favorite trends this spring is classic Black and White. I have always been a big fan of the dramatic effect that pairing black and white gives you but this season, the impact is turned up. Way up.</p>
<p>The best part about black and white pieces is that they are instant outfit makers with absolutely no effort. Memorable and sophisticated, sharp and sassy. Even better, this trend is so widespread and basic (in a good way) that you can find pieces to fit the style anywhere from Target to Saks Fifth Avenue&#8211;because let&#8217;s face it, a stripe is a stripe. <strong><em>CheapChica</em></strong> shopping at it&#8217;s best!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&amp;Category=sweater&amp;ProductID=2035822720&amp;VariantID="><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-25453" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-13 at 1.27.49 PM" src="http://cheapchicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-13-at-1.27.49-PM.png" alt="" width="380" height="548" /></a>I love <a href="http://bit.ly/ZzZQvU">these pants from </a><a href="http://bit.ly/ZzZQvU">F21</a><strong> </strong>because the stripes are skinny and vertical…a must when you wear stripes on the bottom ladies.  I&#8217;m also feeling <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&amp;Category=sweater&amp;ProductID=2035822720&amp;VariantID=">this diamond patterned black and white sweater</a> because it will look great with jeans<em> now</em> and with cut-offs a little <em>later</em> this season.</p>
<p>You can even mix your black and white pieces, a la Marc Jacobs, who did an entire collection with the combo. Just remember that the prints you choose should be opposite in size (one big scale print, one small scale print).</p>
<p>This is such an easy trend to incorporate into your spring looks! Have fun looking black, white and lovely all over this Spring!</p>
<p><em>And be sure to catch Lilliana on <strong>Access Hollywood LIVE on Thursday, March 14th</strong>! She&#8217;s sharing Spring&#8217;s Best Trends Under $50 and this one made the cut! </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Growing up in Texas camouflage was not something I looked at as ever being fashionable&#8230;in my neck of the woods they sell this print at places with names like Bass Pro <em>not</em> Barneys. But I&#8217;ve always maintained that I&#8217;m an equal opportunity trend-trier and lately I&#8217;ve been hunting after the perfect pair of camo jeans.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/100PbQD"><img class="size-full wp-image-25407 alignright" title="Screen Shot 2013-03-03 at 5.58.10 PM" src="http://cheapchicas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Screen-Shot-2013-03-03-at-5.58.10-PM.png" alt="" width="390" height="378" /></a>Happy to report that I found two amazing options for both you <strong><em>splurge chicas</em></strong> and you <strong><em>sale-only chicas</em></strong>! And if you&#8217;re wondering what those are&#8230;or which one you are&#8230;you&#8217;ll have to wait for my book in October to learn more! <img src='http://cheapchicas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Anyway, <a href="http://bit.ly/100PbQD">Rag &amp; Bone</a> (pictured right) make the coolest digital print skinny camo jean! I love it because while it&#8217;s got the traditional army green color, if you look closely, the camo<em> isn&#8217;t camo</em> at all&#8230;it&#8217;s a very modern (and allbeit a little pricey for $185) take on the classic.</p>
<p><a href="http://bit.ly/ZevoZe">Gap</a> also has a faded camo jean (pictured left) which feels more like a jegging. The shorter skimmer length is perfect for petites and gives the usually masculine print a more feminine feel.  <a href="http://bit.ly/ZevoZe">These are $69 bucks</a> but use code SPRINGAIR for an extra 30% off!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be wearing my camo skinnies during my upcoming trip to LA with everything from T&#8217;s to tweeds and I have a feeling these will go into permanent rotation in my jean wardrobe. Will you be hunting for these jeans as well? Tweet me <a href="http://www.twitter.com/cheapchicas">@cheapchicas</a> and let me know how you&#8217;ll wear them!</p>

If my closet had any more leather in it, I would need to take this act on the road&#8230;rock and roll style.</p>
<p>And when it comes to leather, <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/YNpfTS">Tinley Road</a> </strong>is absolutely <em>killing it</em>! Their spring line includes some vegan leather pieces that are amazing and affordable. The colors are rich, the cuts are flattering and their impact is timeless. I bought <a href="http://bit.ly/12mQOtw"><strong>this leather tee</strong> </a>in black and if I could wear it every day, I would. It<strong>&#8216;</strong>s comfortable, it can be dressed up or down and I love that it can go from boardroom to bad-ass in under sixty seconds.</p>
<p>I also got <a href="http://bit.ly/12mQStp"><strong>these leather shorts</strong></a> in the cognac color (black is on sale) and they&#8217;ve been surprisingly versatile! I was on the fence about these but the styling possibilities really are endless &#8211; you can wear them with anything from chucks to pumps! And for $54 they&#8217;re a great way to try this faux fabric in a very unexpected style.</p>
<p>You can check out <a href="http://bit.ly/YNpfTS"><strong>Tinley Road’s</strong></a> endless vegan leather pieces <a href="http://bit.ly/12mQStp">here</a> and tweet us your favorite leather piece from their collection! What leather will you be wearing this Spring?</p>

The other night I was out to dinner with a group of friends wearing a faux leather metallic jacket, jeans and pumps when another woman in my party was wearing virtually the same jacket, jeans and pumps!!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span id="internal-source-marker_0.3950283988378942">So, like a good fashion sport, I complimented her outfit and the first thing out of her mouth was, “t<em>hanks, it’s <strong>Vince</strong></em>&#8230;&#8221; (pregnant pause where people waited for me to say where I got mine). I left them with crickets and a sly grin since I didn’t want to make her feel bad that <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&amp;Category=whatsnew_app_outerwear&amp;ProductID=2019571484&amp;VariantID=&amp;utm_source=affiliatetraction&amp;utm_medium=cj&amp;utm_campaign=affiliate&amp;cj_webid=2178999&amp;cj_affname=ShopStyle.com&amp;cj_affid=1909792&amp;cj_linkd=10931225&amp;cj_sid=582605218  http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/style-co.-jacket-metallic-faux-leather-cascade-collar?"><strong><em>mine</em></strong> </a>was<em> $29</em> from<strong> F21</strong> (similar to this<strong><em><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/style-co.-jacket-metallic-faux-leather-cascade-collar?ID=726879&amp;PartnerID=LINKSHARE&amp;cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-4-_-33-_-MP433&amp;LinkshareID=J84DHJLQkR4-Nm.5Dg.LrXmxHyPHAnOZAg"> one </a></em></strong>from <strong>Macy’s</strong> for only <em>$43</em>!). </span></p>
<p><span id="internal-source-marker_0.3950283988378942">Our jackets were basically identical, but I didn’t spend upwards of $1, 000 on mine! Yes, I looked up<em> her</em> <strong>Vince</strong> on line when I got home&#8211; I’m a <strong>CheapChica</strong> and price comparison are what we do, right? </span></p>
<p><span id="internal-source-marker_0.3950283988378942">So here&#8217;s how I like to style my fabulous, <em>Vince-look-0-like </em>leather jacket: </span></p>
<p><span id="internal-source-marker_0.3950283988378942">Start with this look from<strong> SJP</strong>. Casual, simple with a healthy dash of gold sass. This season, metallics are everywhere, especially with the holidays right around the corner. To make your metallic infused look a little more unique, try pairing them with a dressed down jeans and cableknit sweater ensemble. I have a pair of metallic jeans that I love to wear with an all black hoodie like this<strong><em> <a href="http://www.target.com/p/merona-women-s-zip-up-hoodie-assorted-colors/-/A-14151369#prodSlot=medium_1_3&amp;term=womans%20black%20hoodie">one</a></em></strong> from <strong>Target</strong> and some smoking slippers. </span></p>
<p><span id="internal-source-marker_0.3950283988378942">Metallics seperates are a fun way to stay sassy, day or night, but still keep things practical and wearable. So go ahead, steal my (metallic) look on a budget, and check out some more great options below!</span></p>
