Arden B. Shirred Waist Mesh Top $22.99*

This is one of those tops that can go from day-to-night in a flash. Pair it with a tank top for a more conservative look or wear it alone for a night out. The shirred waist guarantees a flattering fit…even if your night out consists of pigging out on pizza, Pepsi and wings. […]

Amici Accessories “Fall Dream” Bag $26.60*

For those who have lost a bag in a bar or cab, this is the perfect purse. You can slide the rings over your wrists and forget it’s there. That is, until you get bombarded with compliments for having such great taste, yet being remarkably practical.
*Down from $38.

Supersmile Quikee $16

If you consume roughly 3.5 gallons of coffee and green tea during the day like I do, you’ve probably grown to live in fear that one day you’ll turn into the dreaded Yellow Fang. Chomping on gum helps get the saliva moving, but Supermile’s Quickee is the most reliable way to ward off stains in […]

Plum Party Shadow Flower Set Starting at $4.75

The countdown til Super Bowl Sunday is on, and even though I’m not throwing down a party this year, I’m going to treat myself to these colorful paper plates, napkins and placemats for my next shindig. The designs are pure art and the fact that I don’t have to wash them after my guests chow […]

Shop Intuition Sequin Greeting Cards $8.99*

I’m usually not a fan of receiving the dreaded B-day card that’s filled with the little “fall-outs,” but these sequin cards are so cute and festive, I had to take a second look. Just pen your message on the card, fill the envelope with some sequins, seal, stamp and send them off. They’re perfect for […]

La Redoute Trench Coat $64.99*

It’s the coolest trench coat (at this price) that I’ve ever seen. For the practical reasons: it’s sturdy, water repellant and comes with a removable lining for added versatility (These come in handy in case you need to rationalize the purchase). And for the important reasons: the unexpected stand-up collar and the […]

Gap Leather Toe Strap Flat Sandals $24.50

The unseasonably warm weather has tricked me into thinking Spring is around the corner, so I’m daydreaming about sandals. (Love these, especially the color.) But it’s only Groundhog Day, and who knows if the rodent is going to see his shadow and wuss out or not. I’d rather not have six more […]

Fred Flare Lipstick Pen $2

This year, I’m treating myself to something *real nice* for Valentine’s Day. (Note incredibly subtle movie reference. Any guesses?) There’s just something so impractical (or maybe practical?) and glamorous about this lipstick pen. And when it comes to buying presents for someone I love, I spare no expense.

Delia’s Printed Boy Tank $16.50*

The elephant print design on this tank is whimsical and fun, and like any good preppy, I love the colors. I might try to get away with wearing it (paired with something more appropriate) to work this Summer. I’ll let you know how it goes…
*$14 if you buy two or more

Gap Travel Cosmetic Bag $12.50

I’ve been looking for a little something new to spice up my life, and I think I found it. Now I realize that it’s only a makeup bag, but it’s a cute one. It doesn’t take much, people.
