Out With the Old…

by cheapchica11 on June 1, 2009

OMG, I can’t wait for the “new” Hills! Kristen Cavalliri plays the villain like no one else’s business and she’s just what this show needs to stay alive. I’ll miss seeing LC’s fashion choices but it might be worth it for all this drama!! Are you excited for the show and what did you think of last night’s season finale???

Look for Less: LC’s Sunny Yellow

by cheapchica11 on May 20, 2009

lauren_conradIt’s no secret that I have an affinity for the color yellow, so when I saw LC wearing this color in the most perfect way, I just had to post it!

I love the tiered ruffles and while this is a really bright yellow, if it’s too much for you, you can always take it down a notch and go for a more subtle hue.  You should also take a cue from her choice in neutral accessories, like those tan shoes and belt.  What’s great about them is that they’re the perfect compliment to the dress because they don’t compete with it.  When you’re wearing a color this bright, you don’t need much else so let that be the the focal point in this look!

If you have any type of event coming up…summer wedding, graduation party, wedding shower or just a hot date, this is a really cute outfit to be inspired by, so here are some great option for finding this look on a budget!

by cheapchica11 on May 6, 2009

collage91YAY!! did some one say Sample Sale?  They’re my absolute favorite place to go shopping and this week Twinkle By Wenlan is having their annual Spring ‘09 sample sale and you are invited!

It will be held at 545 8th Avenue (between 37th and 38th streets) on the 17th floor.  The sale is going on Thursday (11am-8pm) and Friday (10am to 6pm).  I highly advise you to go because you can save up to 70% on dresses, sweaters and even jewelry!

If you’re not familiar with Twinkle you’re totally missing out!  The line is not only feminine but funky, unique and dramatically whimsical!  The collection is super chic and the fabrics are TDF…dresses made of the softest silk and sweaters made from the finest cashmere that you’ll want to end up sleeping in! Their line has been seen on all the hottest celebrities including Guiliana Depandi and  Lauren Conrad… and why not spend the day in New York shopping like a celebrity at an affordable price??

So if you want to look completely gorge this season and own something that your girlfriends don’t, wake up early and pack your wallet because this sample sale will be nothing but AMAZING! And if your low on cash no need to have a melt down because they’ll take Mastercard, Visa and even American Express!

I hope I’ll see you there because at this sample sale I’ll be first in line!

Look For Less: Lauren Conrad

by cheapchica11 on April 7, 2009

lc-shortsI happen to love this look on her…

the hair is perfection and the combination of the billowy shirt with the loose shorts feels so fresh and modern.  I also like that she’s pulling off some serious short-shorts without coming across trashy or tacky in any way.  So if you’re looking to sport shorts after your college years, take a cue from LC…tight shorts are for kids and these are definitely for grown-ups!

She kept the color palette neutral and simple and didn’t overdo it with accessories which make this look feel effortless, even though she probably planned this outfit weeks before her walk down the red carpet!

Here’s a similar look that takes inspiration from the loose silhouettes found in both pieces…nd since each item is less than $30, this is a look you can totally achieve on a budget!

And if you do decide to try this out, don’t forget about the hair which is also a crucial part of executing this look successfully! Click here for a step by step guide to achieve her perfect “twisted pullback” do!

Lauren’s Last Supper

by cheapchica11 on March 16, 2009

picture-19By now most of you have heard that this will be LC’s last season on The Hills…

I thought I would be relieved when this day finally came, but I’m actually kind of sad.  Lauren’s wining and incessant “I’m the victim” role used to drive me crazy, but now I really can’t imagine the show without her.  And having to deal with fake Speidi drama and a whole half hour of Audrina looking at the sky might just feel unbearable without our trusty narrator.

I also have to admit that I will miss seeing Lauren’s outfits…and before all of you comment on how she has not right being a designer…I agree with you!  But I do like seeing her laid-back Cali style on my TV every week and she always looks cute and chic, unlike her co-stars who look like every other silicon enhanced wanna-be that lives in La La land.

Here’s Lauren perfectly showing off just how to rock the BF blazer I posted about earlier this week…and if you couldn’t find one in your size, this one below from Charlotte Russe is also a great buy and you gotta love the 80’s-tastic rolled back cuffs!

Literary L.C.

LC has added yet another title to her ever-growing resume…author.   The Hills starlet has penned the first in a series of books based on her not-s0-real life in LA.  The book will follow the story of a 19-year old girl as she moves to La La land, lands and internship and finds her own way…sound familiar??  I’m sure this was a huge mental stretch for Ms. Conrad but on a positive note, the cover is super-cute!!

The book hits shelves on June 16th.  So what do you think of LC’s latest project…will you be reading LA Candy?
