Earring Planet 14k White Gold Bow Earrings $33

If you’re tired of accessorizing with chandelier earrings that weigh more than a small child, try these bitty bows on for a change. Since they’re white gold, they won’t tarnish like silver, and since they’re made for an actual small child they come with a screw back post so they stay put. (I […]

Zaum “Tetra Piccola” Mini Bag $20

This new line of vinyl bags and accessories — handmade by two (clearly talented and super-creative) independent designers — is so unique and refreshing, you’ll want to buy in bulk. Lucky for you, they’re committed to running a socially responsible business (hence the lack of factory mass production) so you can feel […]

Anna Sui Ring Rouge for Lips $12

The word around town is that huge, cocktail style rings are big for the fall. This one doesn’t actually feature a gem, but in some ways, it’s even better. (I’ll keep telling myself that.) But seriously, the mini pot of lip color hidden under a glossy black rose is such a […]

Forever 21 Quilted Clutch $12.80

So it may not qualify for heirloom status (it should last a few seasons if you don’t beat it around.) But for less than the cost of your British Vogue, it’s a chic little clutch loosely based on my favorite designer’s goodies. It also comes in red and white, lucky us.

Isaac Mizrahi for Target Ballet Flats $30

Happy Birthday to the World’s Best Mom! Or at least one of the top ten. Ha. Just kidding Mom! So I didn’t actually purchase these shoes for you, but I thought of you right away when I saw them. Let’s both get a pair so we can be matchies. […]

E.L.F. Nail Polish Remover Pads $1

How many times has a perfectly pretty manicure gone to hell after you less-than-gracefully knock your hand against a door. And then it’s chipped and you look like Lohan or an Olsen twin with half-painted nails — which is to say nothing like the polished young lady you were before you got all clumsy. […]

Fred Flare Tennis Club Polo Dress $25*

The best thing about this dress, besides the fact that it feels like you’re wearing pajamas, is the over-the-top tennis crest on the front pocket. It can be pulled off as ironic, unless your name is Buffy.

This pretty little clutch bag will instantly add some feminine flair and vintage style to any old outfit you have stashed in your closet. And, at a price this low, you’ll have money left over to splurge on some shoes to match.
*Down from $22.80.

Paul & Joe for Target Owl Pin $6.99

Sometimes, when I’m shopping at Target, I wonder why I love it so much. HA! Just kidding. I’m so excited that Sophie Albou, the brains behind the gorgeous Paul & Joe label, is the newest GO International guest designer. I can’t imagine wearing this fun owl as a pin — but […]
