Isaac Mizrahi for Target Pintuck Skirt $12.49*

I love that this skirt goes from winter (paired with a cardigan and tights) to spring (a cardigan and ballet flats) to summer (a tee and thongs–sandals, people.) And I’m still not over the fact that you can buy Isaac Mizrahi for $12.49. Also, as of February 1st, look out for Luella Bartley’s […]

Anthropologie Empire Tank $29.95*

The scoop neck is flattering, and the shimmery lace overlay and flirty ruffled straps make this tank look way more ’spensive than it actually is.
On sale from $58.

La Redoute Leather Medallion Belt $14.99

I never pay much attention to belts, but this one was tough to overlook. The etched, antiqued metal medallion looks so much classier than my I heart Elvis belt buckle, and the leather comes in dark brown or black.

Forever 21 Corduroy Solider Jacket $17.39*

I’m not quite over military-inspired fashion just yet, so I love this sleek, fitted jacket with the mandarin collar. And at this price, I’ll be ok if the trend only lasts for ten more minutes.
*On sale from $34.80.

Anthropologie Slippers $9.95*

Immediately go to the closet, collect the Elmo slippers your brother gave you for Christmas last year, and throw them in the nearest trashcan. (I just did.) This fabulous pair, complete with mini pom-poms, makes you feel elegant even if you’re rocking them in your snowman pjs while eating Ben and Jerry’s out of […]

Pantina Shimmer Face and Body Powder $6

If you don’t have time for any other makeup in the morning, swish this bad boy over your face to look like less of a zombie. It comes in three shades, and each one seems to even out skin tone and add just enough shimmer. The klutz-proof packaging is a huge bonus for […]

Muji Business Card Case $8

Sleek and subtle, this aluminum case is a great little home for your business cards. It also works well for holding ID, a credit card, and some cash when you’re trying to keep things light. Plus you just look money whipping it out of your purse. And that’s certainly enough of a […]

Gentille Fille Paris Earrings $16

Please pardon the pun, but these are charming. The little danglies are a mix of vintage and new pieces, and they’re so delicate and fun. The best part (or worst, if you’re too slow) is that most of the maker’s offerings are one of a kind. So you’ve got to make your […]

Pearl River Pencil Holder $6.50

I could think of so many things, besides pencils, to store in these fun little bags. Like colored pencils. Kidding, but I do use them to keep my makeup brushes safe, or to keep things organized in my black hole of a purse.

La Redoute Crepe Slip Dress $34.99

This dress is just. . .pretty. I imagine wearing it with a cardigan, black tights, and boots, or with kitten heels and lots of beads. And you can’t beat $34.99 with a stick.
