Fred Flare Rose Filigree Earrings $9
These delicate gold earrings only look expensive. And they make (almost) any outfit look classy.
Gap Velvet Belt $3.99*
Not naming any names, but I’ve seen similar belts at other places for over ten times as much. The rhinestone buckle adds a tiny touch of flash to the simple velvet strap.
*It also comes in turquoise for a buck cheaper.
Gap Ballet Flats $9.99
I feel like Audrey Hepburn when I wear these cute, classic leather flats. If you’re Kate Moss, you can pair them with skinny jeans. For everyone else, they look great with regular people jeans and skirts. They also come in four other fun colors, and they’re on sale from $39.50, so get ‘em while they last!
Galison Stationery Set $9
It’s thank-you-letter-writing time! “What is that?” you ask? Well, in the days before email (can you even imagine a time?) people actually wrote and mailed thank you cards when they were given gifts. It may sound like a drag, but your Grandma will be so happy when she gets your note, and this adorable notepaper and envelope set won’t cramp your style.
Laila Rowe Necklace $7.50
The best thing about this necklace, beside the fact that it looks so great with a t-shirt or button down, is that it’s so cheap. Who knows how long this trend will last, but at $7.50 you’re not going to be kicking yourself for jumping on the bandwagon. It also comes in red, green, or purple beads. ( It’s on sale from $15, so get them while they last!)
Newport News Vintage-Style Cardigan $34
This vintage inspired sweater is decorated with sequins, beads, faux pearls, and embroidery, and looks great dressing up jeans (with the Old Navy silk shell underneath, perhaps?) or over a little black dress for an evening out. At it’s original price of 65 beans, it was a good deal. At it’s current sale price of $34, it’s a steal.
J Crew Tie Belt $9.99
Upon first glance this belt might make you think about drinking arnold palmers at the yacht club, but it’s actually pretty versatile. It also comes in pink, but since it’s on sale from $34, neither shade may last long.
Old Navy Silk Shell $14.99
This 100% silk shirt is a steal. The thicker straps and simple cut are flattering, and it looks polished alone or under a cardigan. It comes in three colors, and it just might be a smart idea to snag one in each. It’ll be a go-to option throughout the year.
Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Lotion $3.19*
This lotion rules. It’s super cheap, comes in a huge 32 fl oz bottle, and smells like the beach. I especially love using it during the winter, when I can close my eyes, think of something tropical, and pretend it’s not one degree in my apartment.
*If you have a Wal-Mart nearby, it’s only $1.99.
Smith’s Rosebud Salve $5
I’m always on the lookout for great lip balms, and this one’s a staple. It makes lips look shiny and healthy and leaves a faint pink sheen. Plus, it smells like roses (go figure), comes in a sweet old-fashioned-looking tin (it’s been around since 1892), and it lasts a heck of a long time.
