Rock Scissor Paper Notecard Set $9.25

Sometimes the cards at Hallmark don’t quite successfully express your sentiment. So instead of hastily sending the “sorry I missed your birthday” card splashed with cats and carnations, pick up a pack of these to have on hand. The design is fresh and fun, and the text pretty much sums it […]

Fred Flare Self-Adhesive Mustaches $5

With Halloween a month away, my office is a-buzz with costume planning. (Apparently it’s a pretty big deal around my new digs with a parade and ipod giveaways. Personally, I’m most excited about the candy.) If you’re looking for an inexpensive costume this year, try one of these ’staches. Seriously, how funny would it be […]

Mark Eisen for Walmart Boxpleat Tweed Skirt $19.57

Day (weeks) old news: Walmart joined the design for the masses party and rolled out a capsule collection by Mark Eisen. Yay! This sleek, lightweight tweed skirt will look great with boots or flats. And it’s mad cheap.

Mark Eisen for Walmart Accordion Blouse $19.82

I just saw a very similar blouse last weekend, and it was three times the price. (My best friend picked it up for a job interview. Don’t feel bad though, Abbs. Who knew?)

This slim magnetic case contains a canvas of shades to make your peepers pretty.  This particular book offers peach, charcoal and pearl shimmering shadow, and nude and smokey gray cream to powder eyeliner, plus an applicator.  Replace the brick of a makeup bag in your purse with this little guy, and you won’t have to visit the […]

Delia’s Paulina Flat $26

The peep toe of these sweet bow flats makes them less Polly-Prissy-Pants and more fun-yet-sophisticated. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Polly-Prissy-Pants look.

SPLURGE: Tretorn “Karin” Shoe $75

I love me some wellies, don’t get me wrong. But as cute as the ubiquitous boots are, I need a change every so often. Enter these rubber shoe-boots from Tretorn. With their fun wedge shape, bright colors, and bow detail, you can take a break from your wellies and still keep […]

Kate’s Paperie Grenadine Napkins $9

There’s something about the first weekend after the summer rush in New York that’s just magical…it’s a little cooler and the subways don’t have the sticky August stench. I’ve been waiting all summer for this weekend to come so I can check out some of the new stores that have opened up in Soho. Early […]

Deep Steep Lavender and Chamomile Bath Tea $5

I moved into my first big-girl apartment last weekend. Between being a bit sore — there were lots of (shoe) boxes to haul — and having a shiny new tub, I’m planning to clock in some bath time this weekend. Magazines, a fluffy towel for a pillow, a glass of wine and […]
