What to Makeup: Estee Lauder TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara Vibrating mascara. Yes, we are fully aware of how absurd it sounds. You may think the vibrating on this TurboLash All Effects Mascara is a huge back and forth motion, but it's actually the same small motion that we make when trying to separate our lashes and make them look not-so-clumpy. Remember how weary we all were of electric toothbrushes...and how many people have them now?
What to Accessory: Yves Saint Laurent Leather Belt It sounds cliche, but belts really are a way to freshen up an outfit. I recently threw a new belt on top of an over worn dress and never have I received so many compliments! This leather belt by Yves Saint Laurent is a perfect way to revive a piece of clothing you’re getting tired of. Put it over an old wrap dress or on top of a classic trench and you’ll feel like you just bought a whole new outfit!
What to Jewelry: Enamel Gold-Toned Ring I am such a sucker for big rings, but sometimes they can get absurdly expensive. So when I spot one like this enamel gold-toned ring from Old navy, I scoop up as many as possible. The white looks nice and summery while the black is dressy enough for going out. Heck, I just might get the pink one too. I mean, they’re only ten bucks, so why not?
What to Jewelry: Millies Deli Sandwich Necklace This Millies Deli Sandwich Necklace by Rachel Leigh is intriguing for two reasons: its obvious unique beauty and its completely irrelevant name. Maybe the designer was enjoying a tasty Reuben and was then inspired to make this necklace? Regardless, I am drooling over the combination of pearls and roped gold chain. What to Shoe: Buckled Patent Platform Stiletto Try as I may to avoid shoes with big buckles, they just keep popping up. This buckled patent platform stiletto from Forever 21 especially caught my eye. What I love is that it doesn’t have the usual Amish countryside look to it that so many others do. And with this pair priced at less than 35 bucks, it’s an easy way to try out the look.
What to Shoe: Gucci Marion High-Heel Sandals Kids generally choose activities based purely on what they enjoy (gymnastics being more fun than soccer, et cetera). But if you were like me, you chose your activities based on the outfit. Kickball? Eew. Dressage? Yes, please! These equestrian-inspired Gucci Marion Heels make my inner seven-year-old so happy. With a buttery leather and gold detailing, they're perfect if you’re not quite into the full-on jodhpurs and blazers look.
What to Wear: Black Halo Jacket Dress
What to Wear: Helmut Lang Asymmetric Leather Jacket Anyone who has ever watched Project Runway knows that a big collar is always a winner. Well this asymmetric leather jacket by Helmut Lang will be a winner on your runway (a.k.a. the walk from Starbucks to the office). With a collar that has a funnel neck when zipped up or lies flat when open, it’s got that classic leather-jacket-badass vibe while still being chic.
What to Gift: Wine Bottle Gift Bags We've all been there: you're invited to dinner and don't want to be that freeloading guest who shows up empty handed. So you grab a bottle of wine and face two choices: either re-use that tacky neon colored wine bag at home or just hand the bottle over as is. Or you could get these wine bottle gift bags from CB2. The quotes on the bags are so funny they make for their own conversation starters. Plus, they come in a pack of six, so you can store them and not have to worry about what to bring when invited for dinner.
