And I know you want me too.
Why are we letting a little thing like $7,000 keep us apart?

I’ve always loved jewelry that is inscribed or has some sort of writing on it. One of my favorite necklaces is a simple silver pendant that says “Wish” on one side and “Believe” on the other. It’s not inscribed exactly, but the idea is there. I bought it right before I graduated from college, when my job prospects were slim to none and I had no idea what I was going to do with my life.
It was a rough period in my life, leave me alone, I don’t want to talk about it. ANYWAY. I don’t know what it is. Inscribed/engraved pieces look vintage-y and heirloom-y and just make me happy, so I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorites for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.

Calm down, it doesn’t change colors. Unfortunately.

One of my favorite stores in the whole world and maker of my favorite jeans, Madewell, finally has an on-line store! Cheaper (and arguably cooler) than sister store J. Crew, Madewell is perfect for … well, just about anything.
Browse. Buy. Love. It’s what I’ll be doing.

Well, not for me. Winter is fast approaching here in the Southern Hemisphere, but that doesn’t mean I can’t drool over all the wonderful summer styles being released up north. Recently I’ve been really into vintage-style bathing suits. Maybe not the easiest look to pull off, but so chic when it is. Here are my favorites.

Do you believe that you can create an entire wardrobe from just 10 pieces? Ne neither. But Vanessa Vogel, the design director of vogel10.com does. The site offers high-quality versatile separates and accessories that can be worn everyday. And because they’re only sold on-line, prices are kept as low as possible. Simple, classic shapes and colors make Vogel10’s pieces perfect for layering, lounging, or throwing in your suitcase for your next vacation.

What has two thumbs and is pumped for the new Zac Posen for Target collection even though she’s more that 4300 miles from the nearest Target? That’s right, this girl. Only nine days until you can own a Zac Posen piece for about 1/40 what you would normally have to pay- prices of the Target collection will range from $14.99- $149.99. My mom knows she’s expected to send a few of these pieces my way on or around April 25 (specifically the ones shown below, hint hint).

Another members-only sample-sale site? GET OUTTA TOWN. Because everyone and their mother isn’t hopping on that bandwagon (which, by the way, is the best bandwagon EVER). Anyway. Mintbox is a website that offers members access to private sales and events, style advice from designers and stylists, AND 5% cash back on every purchase. Unlike most sample sales sites which are only on-line, Mintbox offers sales both on-line and in-stores. This way you can actually try things on before making your decision, instead of clicking the “Buy” button and praying that whatever arrives on your doorstep is what you were expecting. Plus, some of the in-store events are parites with designers, trunk shows or other makeyoufeelreallycool things.

Another vendor from Artists & Fleas that I absolutely loved was Georgia Varidakis. Her designs are feminine, delicate, and unique, and I would wear all of them. Plus, everything is completely reasonable- prices range from $18 – $240.
Check out her website or visit her stand at Artists and Fleas (129 N 6th St - Brooklyn, NY – 11211, Saturdays and Sundays, 12-8 pm)
