Reality TV star and "Queen of Effortless Chic" Daisy Lewellyn has lost her battle with cancer early this morning, Essence reports. She was 36.

The Blood, Sweat & Heels star was battling bile duct cancer for some time, and even chronicled her struggles with the disease on season two of the reality show.

Sharing her diagnosis with her castmates, she said, "My makeup artist was like, 'Your eyes are like green.' Like the white of my eyes were lime green. So I go to the doctor, they run some tests, and he was looking like he just saw a ghost."

Even before her rise to fame on the reality circuit, Daisy was already making a name for herself as a fashionista and writer. She was an Accessories Editor at Essence and published a book titled Never Pay Retail Again: Shop Smart, Spend Less, & Look Your Best Ever, in 2010.

We send our condolences to Daisy's family, friends and fans. Rest in peace.
