Hip & Zen Barcode Pouch $18

This green barcode bag is so different than the normal accessories pouches I carry around, and I think that’s why I like it so much. Use it as a cash and keys holder or cellphone pouch for a night out or throw it in your purse and stash your cosmetics in it. Best of […]

Carolyn Koslen Pearl Barrette $30

I have a reputation around my office — my co-workers tease me for frequently accessorizing with pearls. But I’m proud to sport them. (As reputations go, it could be worse.) They make me feel like Audrey even when I’m dressed like Mary-Kate. This elegant, handmade barrette will be a fabulous […]

Old Navy Embellished Flip Flops $8*

OK, I know what you’re thinking: enough already with the whale motif. And I hear you. Sort of. But I saw these and thought that they might be a nice, easy choice for whale-beginners. (There are teeny raised whales all over them for added traction. . .and added fabulousness.)

M&J Trimming Tafetta Plaid Ribbon s/a $3*

Based in NYC, but also housed on the world wide web, this “trim” shop is a little slice of Heaven for DIY darlings. (And those of us who attempt.) The selection of ribbons, buckles, handles, buttons, beads, and various other trim is dizzying. It’s inspiring, even for DIY-challenged moi.

Lands End Sea-to-Shore Sport Shoes $30

These sneaks are designed to head effortlessly from water to land (breathable mesh, anti-microbial, fast-drying) but they’re also exactly what I’ve been looking for to take me from home to office. They’ve got quick-tie toggles (no wasting precious seconds messing with laces = a little more sleep, I take what I can get) and […]

Gap Umbrella $17

This would have done slim to none in helping me stay dry walking around in the snowy tundra that was NYC last week. Except maybe make me feel, after stepping into a bottomless puddle while the wind whipped my coif into a hot mess, a little more fashionable.

Lillie’s Five and Dime Coin Purse $15*

It’s handmade and unique, with fun fabric both on the outside and the lining. Without a zipper, coins could be free to run rampant all over my purse, but it’s so sweet (looove the button), I’m sure I’ll think of something else to carry in there.
*Shipping is included in the price, […]

Hullabaloo sells never-used vintage pieces from the 50’s to the 90’s, including lovely Cabbage Patch Kids necklaces and MC Hammer or Paula Abdul slap bracelets.
