In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly accessory that’s available online or in-stores. This week, it’s all about mixing prints.

Mixed prints is one trend that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. There are a lot of ways to combine patterns. One is by pairing different separates in one outfit. But it’s a whole lot easier when the prints are already mixed for you!

In this special edition of Cheap Thrills and Big Ticket Darlings, I got to chat with the gorgeous Lilliana Vasquez - she's the fashion blogger behind CheapChicas.com, a TV host and author of the new book, The Cheap Chica's Guide to Style: Secrets to Shopping Cheap and Looking Chic! Here, she dishes some of her top shopping secrets, exclusively for BB readers!

Summer is now gone and I am finding myself cozying up inside with my fun fall sweaters a little too often – it seems like a better option than going out in the cold, right? Well, the best way I’ve found to stay motivated and keep that hard-worked-for bikini body is more clothes! We forget to give this part of our closet as much love as others, but with these oh-so stylish fall running essentials you’ll find yourself loving the great outdoors again and still being able to feed your sweet tooth addiction, guilt-free, come Thanksgiving!

In this new weekly column by the fabulous Sydne Summer of Sydne Style, we'll be bringing you an amazing bauble, shoe or bag that just looks expensive! —BB

I was so excited when the Budget Babe asked me to write a weekly column on affordable accessories. Not only have I been a long time fan of this site, but BB and I are friends in real life, too (and yes, she’s even more awesome in person!).

Every week, I’m going to introduce you to my favorite budget-friendly accessory that’s currently available online or in stores. Since emerald is the hottest color of the year, I figured I’d kick off the series with this gorgeous Forever 21 handbag.
