Friday Five Under $55

April 24, 2015 by jessica

A mini skirt ($52) in the most darling retro print.
A pair of vintage-inspired sunglasses ($30). They also come in black.
A pineapple catchall bowl ($42). Put this at your entryway to collect keys and loose change. I love that the interior is painted my favorite color. (I managed to snag the Lilly Pulitzer for Target pineapple bowl. Another pineapple wouldn’t be overkill, right?)
A metallic woven clutch by Monserat De Lucca ($45).
A strappy cami ($39.50). It looks a lot like the Express cami that many people love (I don’t like the fit on me) and the J.Crew one that’s significantly more expensive. (The shorts the model is wearing are also under $55.)
Not Pictured: If you’re still yearning for a pair of double pearl earrings, there’s a Kenneth Jay Lane set for $18. Or just follow my lead and buy a pair of eBay for $4.

Friday Five Under $55

April 10, 2015 by jessica

I don’t know about you, but I’ve already managed to blow my budget this month. Thank goodness for a few great deals this weekend:

This boho lace top from LOFT comes in at $49.50 and has the prettiest peekaboo eyelet detail around the waist.
A perforated tote ($25) in cream is perfect for work this spring.
I’m cheating a little bit with this pair of linen crossover shorts from J.Crew. Technically the price is $59.50, but you can snag them for 25% off through April 14 with code SHOPNOW.
These drop earrings from Kenneth Jay Lane are stunning. I love the light turquoise blue. (And, of course, they’re sold out now. Try these laid back chandeliers instead.)
I tend to shy away from faux leather shoes, but these chic gold slides are worth trying for $13. They also come in rose gold.

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:

A simple white dress
A colorful Rebecca Minkoff pouch for $35
The cutest striped tank with a ruffled hem
A summer statement necklace from Kenneth Jay Lane
Bright blue sunglasses
