You see her on the red carpet surrounded by the most famous people and duds, but behind the glitz of E! News, Ashlan Gorse is a Recessionista at heart just like us. She told us about her favorite glam secrets on the cheap:

Every true recessionista knows the beauty of shopping her closet. Give a forgotten about item new life by wearing it with new accessories or in a different way than ever before. Recycle your fashion!

Never underestimate the power of shopping at a flea market. I’ve found some of my most treasured pieces – for both my wardrobe and my home – at flea markets. The best part is, they are one of a kind and I scored them for great deals!

Gorgeous, smart, sweet-as-pie — proud to have you in the club, Ashlan!
