Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa Mani Mania $8.50*

This mini mani kit includes all the essentials to make your digits presentable. (hand lotion, scrub, buffer, nail brush, and Goldie polish) If you’re smart, you’ll stock up for gift-giving. You’ll come off as seriously on top of things when you “remember” the intern’s birthday. (She’s faxed seventeen thousand sheets of […]

Mark Instant Vacation Desert Island Stick $7

I have pretty (ridiculously) pale skin, so a few years ago I bought a product to help look slightly less “walking dead.” I get complemented on the bronze-ish cheekbone highlights often, so I’m excited to try the Mark version (which happens to be 5 times less than the other stuff.) If it’s as […]

Naughty Secretary Club Água de Beber Neckalce $18*

Back in the days when my to-do list consisted of playing in the turtle-shaped sandbox and making sure to be back home in time for a PB and Banana sandwich and some afternoon Gem cartoons, I rocked a sweet plastic chain necklace like this one. Mine had colorful little charms shaped like ponies and […]

Madame Bijoux New Dehli Forest Necklace $33

I’m instantly drawn to the contrasting shapes and bold colors of this unique and lovely charm necklace. My guess is that in a sea of chunky beads and layers of strands, this delicate jumble will get lots of attention. Wear it with a basic boy-beater and wait for it to catch the […]

Pillows For the People Lavender Eye Pillow $20

Lately I feel like my whole life is my job. I’ve been cruising home at a sweet 10pm nightly, and even then I’m still thinking about work. (I know, I know. I’m not the only overworked soul in Manhattan.) I’m holding out hopes, however, that if I score one of these Pillows […]

Marc by Marc Jacobs Chain of Hearts Bracelet $32

The website didn’t give much of a description for this MJ charm bracelet, but let’s be serious. There’s only three things you have to know: It’s cute, it’s cheap, and it’s Marc Jacobs.
Go to MarcJacobs.com for stores.

Julie Garland Baby Blues Earrings $20*

This purveyor of simple and elegant jewelry is having a lil summer sale on select goods, so it’s a great time to snatch up some pretty pieces to have on hand as gifts. I love these sterling silver and blue stone danglies. The only foreseeable issue: it may be hard […]
