Julie the Cruise Director Earrings $16

You’re not going to want to miss the [love] boat on these dangly crystal-bead earrings from Frosted Brownie (sorry for the pun, it’s just too easy)! I’m still not sure I get why they’re named after the perky blonde on that super-cheesy show, but I am convinced they’ll look just as good on land […]

Banana Republic Teardrop Fringe Necklace $25

This silver (metal) necklace is a great piece to keep in your jewelry box. It’ll effortlessly flash up an LBD, so you can accept any last-minute invitations to the opera or a cocktail party with complete confidence. (Or if your life is slightly less exciting, it’ll look great with a black button down […]

Forever 21 Woven Floral Top $17.80

I love the ridiculously affordable, contemporary offerings of Forever 21, but the one mildly annoying drawback is that so does everyone else. Which is not to say that I frequently come across my mirror image when I’m donning their duds–their selection is too extensive. But it is to say that the cute stuff […]

Delia’s Buckle Flats $29

I’m a firm believer that all red shoes are fabulous. (They worked for Dorothy.)
The peep toe addition on these buckle flats make them that much better. (She may have had sparkly rubies, but the girl was missing out on peep toes.)

Juice Planning Medium Tray $10

When it snowed in college, we used to “borrow” the caf trays for make-shift sleds. They were easy to carry, lightning-fast, and readily available. So if you don’t use this fun, colorful tray to pass cosmos at your next party, it could always come in handy when the weather changes.

Little Odd Forest Snotty Crowned Bird Tank $12.90

This silk-screened cotton tank has the most fun snobby bird design. It’s got so much character, even if you live among the hipsters, I doubt you’ll bump in to anyone else with the same look.

Forever 21 Antique Flower Necklace $10.80

A three strand necklace may be old news, but add the little jeweled flower on the side and it’s a whole new ball game, people. It’ll look really cute sprucing up your basic buttondown.

Forever 21 Tiny Beaded Bangles $4.80

These bangles with teeny, delicate beads will add a teeny bit of glitz to your ensemble. And at less than 5 bucks for two, you can afford to go a little crazy and pile them on, a la Mr. T. (Did he wear bangles, or just a boat load of necklaces?) […]

Urban Outfitters Baby Barettes $10

I’m not sure what I was thinking when I decided to get my long hair cut with bangs on a recent trip to the snipper. After the initial fit of tears, however, I stoiclly (ha! hardly) accepted my new look. I think it helped when I discovered that I can now sport cute […]
