Beauty Must-Have: Taupe Nail Polish

Not to beat a dead horse, I know I’ve said it before: nude/neutral and just soft tones in general are huge for spring 2010, and as sunnier days slowly inch closer (although you’d never know it considering the snow we’ve had in the Northeast lately!), start thinking about how the idea of…

nude nail polish sounds.

I can see how some might have their doubts, but… I’m into it, I’ve decided. Look at it this way: you’ve tried sparkly whites and barely-there pale pinks. Why not give something a bit more unexpected a chance?

Oddly enough, picking this (sometimes considered to be) “boring” shade as your nail color could be seen as quite… daring!


Gotta love the logic of fashion.

The best CheapChica option is probably OPI’s Over-the-Taupe shade (a little over $5.00)… unless you don’t mind shelling out $23.00 for Chanel’s not unsurprisingly gorgeous Particuliere.

Nail polish trends are so great… it’s never been cheaper to make a runway-inspired statement…

Lily Allen, Gwyneth and Kate Beckensale have already jumped on board, you could be next!

Deal of the Week: La La Love

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this romantic dress from Lulu’s makes its debut! I saw an almost identical version at South Moon Under a few weeks ago, but the price tag had three digits and that’s a Cheap Chica no-no. This one-shoulder, Grecian inspired version is only $33.00 and it comes in your choice of White, Coral or even black!

Monica Rose: Mastering The Hi/Lo

I don’t follow many celebrity stylists (besides Rachel Zoe, of course)….I mean what’s so hard about having an endless amount of money to shop for your clients and having a mile long list of high-end designers constantly sending your free stuff??

So when I came across Monica Rose I knew I had found a girl after my own CheapChica heart! If you don’t recognize the name, she’s the woman behind the wardrobes of the Kardashian sisters and the stylist for one of the my favorite shows on E!, The Daily 10.

When you look at Kim’s wardrobe you assume its completely made up of Balenciaga and Balmain. And while I’m sure she does have many of their amazing pieces, what you don’t realizes is that thanks to Monica, she also has a lot of H&M, Bebe and Steve Madden.

For example, this leather and tweed jacket… It’s from BEBE but it looks like a million bucks on her!

Monica has totally mastered the art of CheapChic and she’s bringing my favorite style philosophy to Hollywood!

Her blog is full of inspirational photos, her favorite fashion picks and my favorite– outfit breakdowns from Kim’s paparazzi shots and from the set of The Daily 10! BTW, if you’re not watching this show you’re missing out…

Whether you care about celeb/entertainment news or not, Catt Sadler always looks so freakin’ cute and its worth tuning in just for the clothes. I totally lust after all of her outfits! Click here to find out exactly where all of these pieces below came from!

I love Monica’s approach to fashion, her shop anywhere mentality and her ability to mix cheap and chic so effortlessly! When you have a second or a whole day (I spent most of Saturday on this site) be sure you check out her fabulous blog to help you ID all of the amazing clothes her clients are wearing and find some styles you can even afford!!
