Forever 21 Floral Jacket $31.99*

This feminine, felt floral-patterned jacket won’t keep you very warm this winter. (It’s a cotton blend.) But that’s not really the point now, is it?
*Down from $64.80.

J. Crew Tartan Coin Purse $11.24*

While I’ve been a little disappointed with their prices lately, you can’t beat J. Crew’s 25% off already reduced sale items. Well I guess you could, but let’s not push it.
*Down from $28.

Sommer Designs Apron $25.20*

It’s June Cleaver meets modern preppy. These colorful aprons are all handmade with fabulous prints and patterns, and will look great over a little black dress at your next cocktail party. And if you’re not the cocktail-party-hosting type, pick one up as a hostess gift for the ones you happily haunt.
*Down from […]

Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Shower Gel $3*

I’ll admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of Bath & Body Works (not counting when I was in the 7th grade and smelling like strong fruit was all the rage.) But these days it’s got a whole new vibe, and they carry a ton of great products, including C.O. Bigelow, Korres, and […]

Urban Outfitters Cable Knit Slipper $7.99*

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Like chocolate ice cream, dogs, and CSI reruns, pom-poms make everything just a little bit better.
*Down from $16.

Style Violet Ribbon Tie Sweater $24.99*

This feminine, bow-tied cardigan is a perfectly prim layering piece. Plus, you could even swear while wearing it and you’d still (kind of) pull off lady-like.
*Down from $44. Also comes in black.

SPLURGE: Lolli by Reincarnation Leather Hobo Bag $300

Merry Christmas!
This gorgeous, hand-cut, hand-sewn bag is made with the softest, butter-iest (it’s a word) leather. It looks like the sort of bag that gets better with age, and even Lindsay Lohan owns one. But don’t let that stop you from splurging on one in the new year.

Isaac Mizrahi for Target Brocade Jacket $27.99*

This 1950’s-inspired brocade jacket pulls it all together over your party dress or skinny jeans. Be prepared for the compliments to roll in.

Molton Brown Lounging Set $28*

Even if I didn’t love Molton Brown products like I love to breathe, I would still snag this set for the sheer fact that it’s called “Lounging.” It includes six bath treats that help you do the same:
- warming eucalyptus bath & shower
- inspiring wild-indigo bath & shower
- re-charge black pepper body […]

NY Botanical Garden Painted Wood Trays $21.60*

If you’re the type of gal who throws summer garden parties, this painted wooden tray is for you. It’s square and bright with an antiqued finish, and would look so darn cute graced with cocktails or finger sandwiches. I wish I had a garden.
*Down from $36.
