La Redoute Signature Shopper $49.99

This international outfitter caters to Parisian girls (among so many others) so of course it’s tres chic. Offered in four colors (I love the brown one), this antiqued leather tote looks pulled together without looking stuffy. Also, the grommets are great and it comes with versatile straps - a set of short and […]

Muji Acrylic Frame $8

When I lived in London, I visited Muji about as much as I went to see Les Mis. Which was all the time. Every time I popped in I left with armfulls of great finds, and it’s stuff I’m still using years later. (Mainly because the brand emphasizes simplicity…their products are […]

Vadis Turner Bobble Bracelet $35

This little number just makes me happy to look at. From the same artist who offers the Yarn Beaded Bracelet featured below, Bobbles are handmade as well. The gal is clearly talented. Her jewelry line has a DIY feel, but in a classic, sophisticated way. (Which makes sense, since […]

Vadis Turner Yarn Beaded Bracelet $59

This is wearable art, people. Each piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind. 59 smackers is far less than you’d shell out for a
one-of-a-kind anything in a SoHo gallery, plus you can show off this pretty investment.

La Redoute Necklace $14.99

I’m sorry I’ve been barraging you with beads as of late, but these are just too good to overlook. They come in light or dark brown or green, and they’re so versatile you could wear them with a dress or jeans. And if you’re reading this and you happen to be my […]

Magnolia Flats $65

I saw these shoes months ago and fell hard for them, but it just wasn’t the right time for us to get together. A few hours ago I heard the news that the whole line is half off. I shall refer to this as shoe manifest destiny.

Intuition Big Bead Necklace $9.99

This extra long necklace can be worn single or double stranded, so you’ll never get bored! Just kidding, but if this shop’s good enough for Lohan, it’s good enough for me.
NUTS! This just sold out!

E.L.F. Shimmering Facial Whip $1

All the things I’ve already gushed about below, PLUS the fact that it’s multi-purpose for eyes, cheeks, and lips AND it contains vitamins B, C, and E to help brighten skin make this a little treasure. I’m speechless.

E.L.F. Hypershine Gloss $1

Um, this costs one dollar. But more importantly, the layman (or anyone who looks at you) could mistake it for the $24 stuff. And I love the philosophy behind the line. . . almost every item is only a buck because they feel that all women should be able to afford […]

Naughty Secretary Club “Hoopty” Barrettes $12

I’m not a big barrette gal, but these little car hair clips made from vintage glass pieces are so random and fun, they’re sure to inspire compliments from friends and hot strangers (hopefully.)
