Mella Pineapple Flip-Flops $15*

You might have ten million flip-flops sqautting in your closet, but without this pink pineapple pair you’re missing out on a complete set, Del Monte. The fruity vibe will add some flare to your footsies and the Mella brand will ensure comfort. (If the pineapple peds are too preppy for your taste, check out Mella’s […]

Plain & Thimble Beauty Kit $14.99*

Whether you’re 28 or 82, old-fashioned accessories are always in vogue. This retro Plain & Thimble beauty kit is the perfect example of that testament. The little set packs in a serious dosage of goods with a Stitchers Hand Cream containing glycerine and jasmine extracts, two bars of triple-milled chamomile and thyme extra-fancy soap, […]

Buckle Beaded Necklace $14

The look of this multi-strand, multi-beaded necklace is St. Tropez. The price is Tijuana-street market bargaining. Either way you look at it, when you pair it with a cream top and cropped pants you’re ready to bask in whatever spring break destination is on the itinerary. Sailboat and suntan optional.

Lacoste Bi-Color Ped Socks $4*

Even if you think the Lacoste polo shirt fad has been played out to death (sorry all you collar poppers) you can still sport these bi-color ribbed-cuff ped socks in style. Choose from oak green with camellia pink, peony pink/light blue, parrot green/light blue or camellia pink/peony pink. And yes, the socks rock the croc […]

Philosophy EmpowerMint 3-in-1 $16

If you haven’t sampled Philosophy’s line of 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, you are depriving yourself of one of life’s little pleasures. The super-bubbly solution creates the most amazing, aromatic bubble bath I’ve ever drawn. That’s why I can’t wait to try the new, minty scent that just debuted. It will be […]

Girl Props Swarovski Cherry Necklace $3.99

My friend’s high-school sister told me I had to check out the Girl Props store in Manhattan because it has the best “plastic charm necklaces in the world.” I was a little skeptical at first, but after one visit I immediately fell in love with the kitchy-cute pieces, the “vintage” finds and the low, low […]

Isaac Mizrahi for Target Seersucker Dress $30

So he grabbed Scarlett Johansson’s goods while interviewing her on the red carpet at the Globe’s. And I was appalled. But I’m (partially ashamed to say that I’m) totally going to buy this anyway. It’s the perfect summer dress, and it’s seersucker. And Scarlett will probably get over it. […]

NU Sequin Keyhole Top $21*

I saw this 100-percent silk top from NU on the Tangerine Clothing Boutique Web site a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn’t justify droppping $139 for it. Now that the price has been slashed to bits, I’m ordering it ASAP. The punchy, Pucci-esque print is unique and the red, orange and yellow sequins give […]

Rock Scissor Paper Pins $6

Remember the days when you rocked out your jean jacket and JanSport with over-sized New Kids on the Block pins that were bigger than your head? Errr…neither do I. At any rate, times have changed but that doesn’t mean you can’t snazz-up some of your totes with these funky pins from Rock Scissor Paper. […]
