Far from being macabre, black nail polish is an instant mood booster for the chic fashionista. ($2.80 at Forever21.com)
1. Reheel and polish old shoes. Getting shoes reheeled averages $5 at my neighborhood cobbler which is way less than buying a new pair of boots. Now's also a good time to get out that shoe polish (I love Kiwi brand), an old rag, and polish and shine those shoes to like-new perfection. You'll be amazed at the results.
