Ba-bling!

OK, so it's hard to justify spending money on THINGS right now. But, if you are like me, and your job is on the more secure side, you have a savings that's not tied to the stock market, and you've made major cuts everywhere else in your life, the one place you may have no qualms on spending is on beautiful jewelry at the right price.

Here I've found beautiful men's watches on sale at Kohls, necklaces, rings and earings under $100 (actually, the starfish ring and turquois earings are under $50) from Banana Republic, and a cross ring from Intermix.

The best find: the real diamond band ring from Kohls on sale from $700 full price to $175 now!!!

Ralph Lauren - Cover the Basics!

Ralph Lauren always has basics that never look so basic. Just the right leather detail, just the right mix of sexy with conservative... Grab these pieces while they are on sale. A dress, a bag, a fitted leather jacket and that suburbs perfect tennis dress will get you compliments for the next 10 years as you wear these over and over and over again!

A girly girl

Girly shoes on sale at eLuxury.com. If you've been hording your recession dollars for months and need a pick me up, there's nothing like girly, frilly, pretty shoes on sale!

Future Now

eLuxury.com has taken early markdowns on designer duds. For the big guys, I advise you wait until the next round of markdowns. But is you can't wait, I would go with the futuristic styles seen here. There's nothing like a wardrobe piece that creates a double take during a recession - the future is now!

Black

I love UrbanOutfitters because they are always trend-right at the right price! I LOVE this faux leather pencil skirt - its half off and the faux material is environmentally conscious ;)

The key is to take what you find at Urban for much less than $100 and mix it with all the high end accessories, jackets, tops and shoes you've been buying at steep discount. I know what I'm wearing this weekend!

Even better!

Just a few things that are handy for the pending summer weather, and cheap enough to keep you smiling!

Obsessing again!

OK, I am obsessing over Anthropologie....here are some more great pieces that I like. The bag is only $98, the shoes $50, the knee pants 488. Two jumpers are some of the most understated and beautiful interpretations of the trend that I've seen so far. Buy now or watch for sale! Either way, I'm OBSESSED!!
