E.L.F. Cosmetics Case $5

As all things nautical start popping up this Spring, snag one of these clean, classic-looking PVC bags to tote your beauty booty. It’s where fabulous Ginger would have stored her makeup while stuck on Gilligan’s Island.

Kiehl’s Sun-Free Self Tanning Formula $22.50

Last week I stopped by Kiehl’s and the saleswoman insisted that I take a sample of the new self-tanning formula. I’m always skeptical or using tanning lotion in the dead of winter, but I smeared some on Saturday morning and by that night I had received a ton of complements. It goes […]

Wishing Fish Luggage Tags $12

Like 99.9% of the population, I sport a black suitcase when I travel. I usually throw on a colored scarf so I can catch it when it comes off the conveyor belt at the airport, but on a recent trip I didn’t spy it until I saw someone else rummaging through it. That’s why […]

La Redoute Cotton Trench $40

I promise I’ll stop posting La Redoute trench coats. Right after this one. It’s classic (double-breasted style, belt), with great details (buckles at cuffs). Plus, it’s weather resistant and comes in six colors. And for such a wardrobe staple, the price is ridiculous. There, I’m all finished now.
Thanks for the […]

Spiegel Satin Bow Skimmer $12*

I wish I saw these before I spent half a paycheck on the ugliest satin dyeable shoes I was forced to wear in a wedding last Summer. (I still cringe when I think about them.) Not only are they lovely, but since they’re flats you could be a dancing machine and not have […]

Spiegel Limoges Porcelain Latté Cup $5*

These sleek vessels will add instant street cred to my coffee making skills. I can’t wait to feel chic and grown-up while sipping on a latte and, per usual, working on the Sunday Times crossword puzzle in pen. Just kidding.
Thanks for the hot tip, Julia!
*Down from $27.

Spiegel Suede Ballet Flats $28

These pretty flats look (if you squint your eyes a little) exactly like my Delman ones. And at this price, I won’t have to live on ramen noodles for a month (again) to add them to my collection.
*Down from $39.

Kailo Chic Headband $12

When I stumbled on to this online shop after a tip from Bad Hair Day, I felt like I hit the cute-accessory jackpot. The handmade headbands, bags, belts, etc. are right up my alley. They’ll be up yours too, if you happen to have great taste.

Hip & Zen Barcode Pouch $18

This green barcode bag is so different than the normal accessories pouches I carry around, and I think that’s why I like it so much. Use it as a cash and keys holder or cellphone pouch for a night out or throw it in your purse and stash your cosmetics in it. Best of […]
