Check out this behind-the-scenes video of Victoria's Secret Angel Erin Heatherton on-set at the XOXO SS13 ad campaign shoot. The gorgeous "It girl" shares tips on how to make it in the fashion industry and her favorite fashion items for spring.

XOXO is a brand that takes me back - my favorite black jacket in college was XOXO. It was that jacket you take to parties when it's freezing out but you don't want to "ruin" the look of your outfit, and at the same time, it was so inexpensive that I didn't care if I got beer spilled on it or if I lost it in one of those massive coat heaps that forms at large parties. Yet miraculously I never lost it. Ah, the memories.

Also - be sure to check out www.xoxo.com right now where you can save 75% off everything sitewide. Lots of cute options for Valentine's Day, like this embellished shoulder chiffon dress ($29.99, down from $120) or this red peplum dress ($32.99, down from $132).

Are you an XOXO girl?

I recently flew to Los Angeles to go behind-the-scenes at the spring 2013 fashion shoot with The Fitting Room at Walmart, and today, I'm so excited to finally be able to share everything we did! All is revealed at The Fitting Room's just-launched spring site, where you can browse and pin all the latest spring fashions at prices that won't break the bank, like studded collars, bold denim, fun dresses, leopard loafers, and retro swimsuits.

I can tell you, there are a LOT of pieces you guys are going to love, and I'm really proud of the videos we put together - Walmart gave me free rein to speak in my own voice and pick the pieces I loved most and wanted to share with all of you. It was really cool, you guys.

Check out the videos and photos I've included in this post, then be sure to head on over to The Fitting Room to see lots more - including my fellow budget-fashion blogger Shauna Miller of Penny chic - as we share our favorite looks of the season and how to style them.

Which pieces are you loving? Stay tuned because I'll be sharing more spring fashions and hosting an awesome giveaway, too.

During my recent trip to Los Angeles to shoot some behind-the-scenes spring fashion videos with Walmart's The Fitting Room, I got the chance to model in a fun fashion shoot for my budget-blogger-BFF Shauna Miller of PennyChic.com. It was totally one of those full circle moments because I had first met Shauna during New York Fashion Week and she thought it would be cool to collaborate - but when am I ever in L.A.?! And when is she ever in Connecticut?! Almost never!

But somehow, the planets aligned, and there I was, enjoying the sun, marveling at the beauty of Venice Beach and striking a pose in the cutest preppy-chic outfit ever put together by Shauna, who is a genius when it comes to styling. Everything I'm wearing is under $25, and you can get all the details on the items featured over at PennyChic.com. Thanks again to Shauna and her fabulous photographer mom for the star treatment, love you ladies.

Back in October, I told you all about the upcoming Duro Olowu for JCP collection, and now we've got the complete Spring 2013 lookbook! To recap, JCPenney is collaborating with Nigerian-born designer Duro Olowu for a collection that includes women's apparel and accessories as well as home decor pieces, priced from just $10-$100. Olowu is known for his vibrant prints and feminine silhouettes. I wasn't too familiar with this designer before, but I'm already a fan. I'm kinda loving this entire collection and see lots of pieces I can wear, like the geometric print pants (with a white tee and jean jacket); the metallic brocard shirtdress (gorgeous fabric and Jackie O. cut); and the animal print cardigan (with leather pants and sneaks a la Miranda Kerr). Shop it this March in stores and online at jcp.com.

It's every fashion bloggers' dream to design their own clothing line (or shoes, jewelry, handbags - take your pick!) and one young L.A. blogger by the name of Shauna Miller has made that dream a reality. The Penny Chic by Shauna Miller collection of little black dresses hits Walmart.com in mid February and features 4 versatile dress styles that every woman needs. Each dress is only about $20 and will come in sizes Small-X Large and 1X-4X. A fifth dress might be in the works so stay tuned. "I worked extremely hard to create the most affordable, stylish, tailored, flattering, and well made, product I could given what I knew about my Pennies and what you ladies deserve and look for in a dress," says Shauna on her blog.

I love that this collection will be manufactured in the USA (a rarity these days) from fabrics that are machine washable and wrinkle-free. Shauna is one of the sweetest, most ambitious young women I've ever had the pleasure of meeting - I had the chance to visit her studio and try on one of the Penny Chic dresses myself during my recent trip to Los Angeles, where we got to tape some behind-the-scenes spring fashion videos with Walmart. I'll share some pics of me in the dress soon (the "curvy" wrap dress - it's ah-mazing, seriously slims and hugs all the right places. I hoping to collect all four!). My one suggestion? More colors please! We love a good LBD but I'd wear any of these silhouettes in trendy colors, too.
