Isaac Mizrahi for Target Striped Party Dress $35

Remember the days when women wore pretty party dresses for any old occassion? Well neither do I, but I’ll happily channel Jackie-O in this classic-looking, flowy frock. There’s a teeny bit of shimmer in the form of one super-thin silver stripe amidst the pink and white, and it’s fully lined. Pair it […]

Dove Calming Night Wash 24oz $8

Just looking at the bottle makes me feel calm and relaxed. The actual contents (with honey, vitamin A, and soothing scents) are really supposed do the trick. Plus, it’s encouragement to take your shower at night, leaving more snooze time in the morning. That reason alone makes it my new favorite soap. […]

Fred Flare Nauitcal Chain Necklace $12

We love these fun, plastic necklaces, but would probably avoid wearing them all together unless it’s the 4th of July. Or not. We won’t judge.

LuLu NYC Moc Croc Frame Wallet $20

No matter how much I try to organize, my wallet is constantly a hot mess. There are ticket stubs, bus passes, metro cards old and new, (hardly any) cash, and receipts galore. It makes for an embarrassing interaction when I go to pay for something and my stuff is overflowing everywhere. But […]

Iomoi Sweet Party Vintage Stickers $6.50

My gift-wrapping skills leave a lot to be desired. I never cut the paper correctly, so there’s either way too much bunched up under a mess of tape, or spots of present peeping through where paper didn’t quite reach. Needless to say, I’ve always been a bit embarrassed forking over the goods. . […]

Laila Rowe Bead Necklace $15

These bright wood and jute beads remind me of a cuter (and longer lasting) version of a candy necklace. Each bead is individualy knotted on a baby blue satin ribbon that self ties, so you can customize the length. It’ll look so spring-y on a fresh white tee, or anything really. My […]

Amici Accessories Victoria Headband $10

This delicate black lace headband will give you that desperately needed alternative to throwing your locks in a ponytail on a bad hair day. For those fortunate ladies who always wake up with perfect hair, you can take a pass on this item…or buy it and look as frickin’ hot as the rest of us […]

Sprout Home Hand-Pressed Coasters $10.50

I’ve reached a point in my life where I think I’m finally ready to swap the soggy, ring-stained magazine that I use to separate my water glasses from my coffe table for some real, honest-to-goodness coasters. The transition looks like it will be painless thanks to these contemporary hand-pressed coasters from Sprout Home. My personal […]
