Lucky Stars

What a difference a plain old t-shirt can make. Michael Stars has so many great, inexpensive t-shirts that are perfect for under business suits, going out or lounging. AND they are comfortable! You can find them at Bloomies, Nordstroms, their own stores or even online. The one to the left I have bought in so many colors and wear all of the time. Because most everything in the store is a solid, it ends up going with so much more. They are perfect for long-waisted gals too. $44.

Yoox gotta check this out!

There is a website called YOOX.COM, which carries all sorts of art d'objects and high-end gifts. They also carry most major designers and have an International following. I love these kitschy salt/pepper grinders I saw there recently. Very fun and functional! The brand is A di Alessi, designers are Stefano Giovannoni, Rumiko Takeda and this is called "Queen Chin". $60.

Travel Brush

I saw this great travel accessory and had to share it! The perfect travel companion, this chic, mirrored compact opens to reveal a pop-up brush inside. Simply flip open the mirror and press your thumb against the bottom of the compact to pop out the brush. It folds into itself! To close, gently press on the bristle tips with the center of your palm to retract the brush. Comes in red/black or pink, $8.

Tar-jay does it again!

Joy Gryson has become a hit handbag designer with her roomy carryalls and now Target is carrying a line especially made for the retailer. Man, Target keeps getting cooler with their eye on up-and-coming, high-end designers like her, Loeffler Randall and Jovavich-Hawk. My fav Gryson bag has to be this green vinyl patent satchel with a basket weave-like design. Best part? Only $44.99!
