The Cheap Girl

In the nude….Kidding!

Gosh I love this colour for this season. Can’t get enough of it!

I love the milk maid look that was popular last season. It is simple, elegant and super easy to do. Just a couple of pins and tucks here and there.  I found it easier to work with a smaller section of hair because it turned out neater. It helps if you have super thick hair especially if you want to create a thick braided band.

See the video below for further instructions.

Actress Rachel Bilson with her beau (not pictured—Canadian cutie Hayden Christensen) walks the streets of Vancouver sporting a striped toggle coat by The Bay.

I liked how she balances the look with dark leggings and boots.

I can NEVER get sick of Calvin Klein. His pieces require very little effort when getting dressed.  You can get up in the morning with 5 minutes to get dressed and put your CK  dress and be out the door. And for the most part, that is all you need. No jewelry or other accessories are needed. Pure and simple.

I love how Kate Bosworth paired red pumps with this simple cream/nude coloured off-the-shoulder dress.

Tousled hair, bright red lipstick = Simply divine!

I love seeing the Olsen Twins in evening wear. Ashley looks so elegant and quite the bombshell in this long black number and Mary Kate is looking very glamorous (and in this particular shot—a hot mess)  in gold sequins.

Between the two ladies I usually prefer Ashley’s style because she always looks so polished and put-together.  Mary Kate’s look has a bohemian/vintage charm to it and she comes out with a lot of unique pieces.

They’re both style icons in my book.

Who is your favourite Olsen fashionista?

Nicole Richie and Natalia Vodianova are both rocking the kimono look!

Give new life to an old robe that you have hanging in your closet by throwing it over a dress, a pair of jeans or wearing it with a belt of a different texture.

Places to scour for beautiful robes? Vintage shops and China Town

I’ve always loved the seductive look of cat eye make up. I’ve never mastered it with the liquid liner because my hand is not very steady when it comes precision. So I’ve resorted to the eye shadow and angle brush option.

The cat eye look was made popular by Edie Sedgwick and is worn by today’s hottest celebs like Angelina, Beyonce and Paris.

It is best to wear neutral make up along with cat eyes. Nude lips and just a touch of shimmer seems suffice. I find that too much make up or bright lips gives off a clown-like and messy effect.

The video below makes it look so easy!

I like Ashley’s orange and blue combo and Mary Kate’s fuschia open-toed shoes and black polish.
