ONE. MINKPINK Niagra Dress — This flowy, pretty dress from MINKPINK is on sale! It’s a chic black shade that flatters everyone, and the empire waist combined with drapey sides make for a gorgeous silhouette. Versatile, stylish, and only $38? I’m ordering mine now. - Nina

TWO. Topshop Straw Panama Hat — I have been walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame lately, and each time I pass Audrey Hepburn’s star, I find myself gazing into the window of a closed hat shop. It makes me long to wear this sharp classic straw hat (only $40) with big, buggy sunglasses and an Italian silk scarf. Sigh. - Charli

THREE. Stella McCartney Stella Solid Perfume Necklace — At $49, this barely makes it into our Cheap & Chic, but it qualifies ..and is one of the chicest multifunctional beauty products around. First off, I am obsessed with the Stella fragrance and have been a fan since college. So rarely are roses done right, but Stella’s version is neither overly cloying nor overly sweet. The product also comes in the form of a beautiful silver locket that one could wear to accessorize any outfit. I keep mine permanently in my purse since I always forget to apply perfume in the morning. - Carolyn

FOUR. Up You Gets Emotibomb — I adore LUSH Emotibombs! I’ve lived for years without a tub, and though I recently moved to an apartment that does have one (finally), I still think these still make shower time much more fun. The scent lifts up and scents the entire bathroom; my favorite right now is the Up You Gets, which smells like citrus and perks you right up in the morning. Plus you can’t really beat the price…only $3.95 each! - Connie

FIVE. Banana Republic Ruffle Striped Tank — I’m always looking for cute pieces to layer (Los Angeles weather has been changing on a dime lately) and Banana Republic’s Ruffle Striped Tank is a great find. You can wear it under a cardigan or wrap in chilly weather, then by itself with skinny jeans or shorts in the summer. The front ruffle adds a pretty, feminine touch and the soft cotton is comfy enough for weekend wear or a night out. At only $45, I want it in both shades it comes in! - Stacey
