SEE
Blink and you’ll miss tonight’s lunar eclipse. It will be the shortest one this century.

BUY
Are Dr. Scholl’s sandals making a comeback this spring? Harper’s Bazaar says yes. Read what the brand’s creative director had to say about Marc Jacobs designing a lookalike pair. (I actually have a pair from high school that are packed away. I’m feeling a little old that I can just pull a pair out from my personal archive.)

ENTER
There are four days left to enter to win a pair of daisy earrings and a necklace from Gerard  Yosca’s spring collection.

FITNESS UPDATE

Friday Five Under $55

by 4 Comments

FiveUnder55-1v6

When I had my first blog, one of the most popular features was a weekly “Five Friday Finds Under $50.” I stopped doing it when I launched this one because my budget no longer necessitated it. However, I’ve been receiving more and more comments about featured items being outside everyone’s budget. So, it’s time to bring it back! Here’s your first roundup of the best budget buys (this time under $55) that don’t look inexpensive:

The Coveted

CurrentlyCoveting-040215

This week, I’m smitten with:

  • A breezy striped dress for only $59. There are free shipping and free returns at Urban Outfitters with orders over $50, so it’s worth a try. This Loft version is just as pretty if you’d rather have a midi dress.
  • A pair of ankle-wrap sandals from Splendid that come in at just $108.
  • Banana leaf throw pillows. I’m not sure I’ll ever grow tired of this tropical print!
  • Gorgeous statement earrings for $38.
  • A laser-cut circle skirt to wear to work all season long.
  • A ceramic pineapple jar. You’ll have to sign up for Dot & Bo to purchase this (here’s my referral link, if you feel so inclined), which is kind of annoying. So, here are the details: the jar is 4.5″ in diameter, 7.75″ high, and is priced at $25.99.
  • Shopbop’s sale! Tons of spring items are marked down, including Rebecca Minkoff bags. I can’t get over how cute the mini bucket bag is!

Reminder! Enter to win a jewelry set from Gerard Yosca valued at $252!

Behind the Baubles // Three Jane NY

If there’s one jewelry brand that will make you want to slip on your fanciest heels and head out for cocktails, it’s Three Jane NY. The brand was developed by designer and former publicist Katie Schloss who specializes in whimsical designs (bottle opener bracelet, anyone?), Art Deco styles, and saturated color.

Giveaway: Gerard Yosca Flowerball

by 8 Comments

GerardYoscaFlowerballDaisyEarrings

Every time Gerard Yosca releases a new collection, I proclaim that it’s my favorite one yet–and Flowerball is no exception. As I mentioned last week, it’s a retro-meets-modern take on spring florals that’s absolutely perfect for this year’s ’70s trend. And, now that spring is finally here to stay, we’re celebrating with a giveaway! One very lucky reader will win a pair of Daisy Post Earrings (see them here) and a Flowerball Pendant. The prize is valued at $252. Good luck!
