Everything in SPLURGE

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.

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 […]

SPLURGE of the Week: Kate Spade Rubber Tote $95

Sure, it’s pricy for a rubber bag. But it’s sturdy and it deters stains like a champ — anything that sticks can be easily wiped off or hosed down. Sandy beach supplies, muddy garden tools, the random bits and pieces that accumulate daily at the bottom of my purse? Please. […]

SPLURGE of the Week: Molton Brown Vitamin Lip Saver $16

My love affair with this product began four years ago when I was serendipidously upgraded to business class on a flight home from London. British Airways supplies the lucky-business-class-SOB’s with a mini kit of Molton Brown goodies, and man are they amazing. I fell particularly hard for this Vitamin Lip Saver, as […]

SPLURGE of the week: Blinc Kiss Me Mascara $24

Is it weird to get passionately preachy about a beauty product? Like, say, when you’re chatting about mascaras (or the subject happens to come up because you bring it up. Either one.) I just cannot say enough about this mascara. Every variety claims to make your lashes look long and lovely, […]

SPLURGE of the week: Sea Bags Tote $75

These cute totes are handmade from old, retired boat sails for your carrying pleasure. It’s a perfect, durable beach bag, but would even look at home in the city, considering the current trend of all things nautical. I have a feeling, though, even when that trend has set sail (oooh, sorry) this simple […]
