Gretta Monahan is in and Veronica Webb is out on Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.  Bravo has tapped the personal stylist and owner of Grettacole Spas as Tim Gunn's "fashion accomplice" for the sophomore season of his reality series, which returns on the network later this year.

"I've been a fan of Gretta's for awhile now - she's on the edge of fashion with a fresh approach that resonates well with all types of women," said Gunn, who also appears on Bravo's Project Runway alongside supermodel Heidi Klum.  "I'm thrilled to have her as my fashion accomplice."

Gretta, who replaces Gunn's aid model Veronica Webb during the freshman season, began her fashion career at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, but left before graduation to follow her entrepreneurial spirit.  Today, she appears as a "buddy" on The Rachael Ray Show, and hosts the Gretta's Got It fashion segment on WHDH-TV, Boston's NBC station.  She has also contributed to the Today Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The View, and has been featured in W Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Marie Claire for both her beauty and fashion advice.

For those who are not familiar, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style is a series that uses Gunn's book, Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality Taste and Style, as a manual to help people make themselves over.

In each episode, Gunn will use his counseling skills to turn the fashion weary into polished individuals.  Monahan will accompany style-challenged women on shopping challenges, while guiding their choices, supporting them and listening to and offering solutions for their concerns. She'll also contribute her opinions, share her fashion knowledge, and support Gunn while he focuses on the big picture of each subject's transformation.

A premiere date and time has not yet been set for season two of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.  Stay tuned to BuddyTV for updates as they are released.
