Here’s a little link love to a fashion blog called The CheapChica’s Guide To Style. Just like Style It Less, the CheapChica will show you how to look fabulous without breaking the bank. A fabulous site, albeit she and I disagree on Cameron Diaz’s look from the 66th Annual Golden Globes. She liked it while I considered Cameron as one of my worst dressed ladies .

Well, we can disagree on things but we’re all for the same “advocacy”. Look fabulous in less amount of money. Say hi to CheapChica.
