Urban Outfitters Lux Stretch Dobby Fitted Blazer $30*

This crisp, tailored blazer will look great with summer skirts in the office or jeans on the weekend. I’ve been looking for a jacket to go with jeans. Sharp Billy seems to think that rocking the double jean look is ok, (I think his exact words were “this isn’t the ninties, Lily) but […]

E.L.F. Moisture Care Lip Gloss $1

I came across this gloss in the travel-sized product isle at Target. And I’m obsessed. It really does keep your smoocher moisturized, not sticky, and the color is so sheer and pretty. (My friends all asked what I was wearing this weekend, and I know you’re supposed to be vague to make […]

Delia’s Boardwalk Wedges $34

To reiterate, wedges that reduce fankle and add length to your legs are keepers. And I can’t quite put my finger on what they remind me of, but it’s something good.

Galison Alphabet of Flowers Postcard Book $7

These Victorian-ish postcards come with thirty designs–with a flower for each letter of the alphabet and four extras featuring bouquets. Even if you have the handwriting of a seven year old (or a doctor), you’ll look way more refined dropping a line.

This 100% silk top is pretty and feminine, and the pintuck bodice and empire waist will ensure that any indiscretions (the wing-eating contest you won last night) will be undetectable.

Little Odd Forest Snotty Luva Crowned Bird Pin $1

The artist/graphic designer who created this funny little bird was looking to achieve “more quirky, bizarre, colorful designs with spunk and personality.” I’d say she’s succeeded. Add one to a tank or a bag to instantly up your design street cred.

Anyone who doesn’t love LL Bean canvas tote bags raise your hand. Great, we all agree they rule. They’re durable, unique (with your initials!) and classic–which make them my go to carry-all every summer. That is until I saw these bags. They’re created and hand made by Meleana, who manages to […]
