When I lived in London, I used to hang out at the British drugstore Boots all the time. (I didn’t have many friends there, OK?) I always seemed to find a new treasure on every visit: little coconut soaps, mini Charles Worthington hair products, even a box of bandaids was exotic with the […]

These chunky vintage bangles are a fun addition to a sundress or a tank and jeans. I’m probably going to steer clear of wearing them with anything black, so as to avoid looking like an extra in a Cindy Lauper video. Aside from that, you can’t go wrong.

The price may seem baffling, but you’re getting a brick of soap for your money. It has little massage nubs, exfoiliates, and smells like Heaven. Just don’t drop it on your foot in the shower. I’ve heard it hurts.

Thanks to a hot tip from Tanya, I’ll be adding to the ever growing collection of lip glosses in my arsenal. Bath and Body Works is having a sale, and for a fiver each you can stock up on your favorites. I like this one by Goldie for night, and the previously posted […]

I had a hard time breaking it off with my chandelier earring stash, but these three-chain linear earrings from Buckle give me a new obsession to fight over. And, at $2 a pop you can afford to get your friends and just about everyone you know hooked too.
