There’s one area where fairy tale princesses and I agree; Special occasions call for glamorous accessories. And what could be more glam than wearing a dazzling tiara?
This rhinestone and silver plate tiara is perfect for a girl’s quiceanera or prom, but is also a fabulous alternative to a veil for the modern bride who wants to show that fairy tales do come true.
At just $19.99, it’s also a lot cheaper than most of the bridal veils you’ll come across, and much more likely to be reworn. Trust me, wearing a tiara can become highly addictive. You may soon find yourself looking for any excuse to wear it.
(Pssssst, to all the men out there: a tiara can make a really romantic gift.)

Fun colors, beautiful lines, interesting textures…
Despite my initial skepticism over yet another celebrity apparel line, I’ve been drooling over more than a few pairs of Jessica Simpson shoes lately.
These Greymer peep-toe pumps are a great example. The “Blue Nile” and “Electric Raspberry” (shown) are absolutely gorgeous, while the perforated suede makes even the black versions fun and interesting.
Originally $79, they’re now just $49.99. Ships to US only.

To update your look without spending a lot, jewelry can be your very best bet.
The right piece:
- makes it easy to pull off edgy colors and trends
- will accent many outfits, so you can wear it a LOT
- won’t wear out like shoes do
- could even become your personal signature
For example, to rock the current green trend, we suggest a gorgeous piece of jade jewelry — and it will still be stunning long after the trend is over.
Our pick is this sterling silver and jade open circle pendant for just $25. Ships to the U.S.

Silk scarves are a great accessory for spring. They’re an incredibly easy way to add color and interest to an otherwise basic outfit. I know, I’ve been wearing them a lot lately — and having lots of fun doing so.
There are dozens of ways to wear a scarf, but my favorite right now has got to be the French twist. It’s remarkably simple and you can find the instructions for that and some other popular scarf knots here.
If you’re a regular reader, you know that I love using trendy accessories to update outfits. Since florals are big this season, why not try them out on a silk scarf? It’s a look that’s both of the moment and yet very classic.
Here are three floral silk scarves to get you started:
All ship worldwide from Silk Charm. Shipping to the U.S. is free if you spend $50 or more on Silk Charm items.
And don’t forget about this hummingbird brooch! It would make a beautiful and fitting addition to any of those scarves.

I hate to say, “Every gal needs ____ “, but a pair of good quality black pumps is high on my list of wardrobe staples — and I’m sure it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see why:
- black because you can wear them with a lot of stuff
- pumps because they’re dressy and make you look thinner
- and quality because you want them to be comfortable and last through so much wear
But you don’t have to “invest” in a pair of Manolos to get quality shoes. This leather pair from Isaac Mizrahi is now on sale for just $14.99, and got great reviews!
Don’t forget, the brown pair is still on sale for $7.49! At that price, you can get both pairs for less than $30!
Sizes 5.5-12 available; ships to the U.S. and APO/FPO addresses.

Sure, Facebook is great, but face-to-face networking will never go out of style — and you never know when you’ll make a new contact. So when opportunity knocks, will you confidently pull out a business card or sheepishly ask for a pen and napkin?
Keep a set of business cards on hand and you won’t be stuck fishing for something to write your contact information on. Even if you’re not looking to improve your career prospects, they’re handy when you meet new friends.
While you can save money by printing basic cards at home, give them a good home to keep them crisp, clean, and ready to go. Even better, dress them up in a snazzy case.
This pink Swarovski crystal business card case would be great — if it weren’t $85!
Fortunately, this similar case is just $29.99 and ships worldwide! Plus, it ships free to the U.S. and even comes with a free LanoLip moisturizing lip balm.
Or, get the clear crystal style for the same price and you get a matching compact in addition to the lip balm! (The compact is also sold separately for $19.99.)
What a dazzling deal!

Bright color is ‘in’ this spring, but black is always chic. One way it really looks sophisticated is in black onyx jewelry — whether you wear it with a little black dress or this season’s hottest color. It’s hard to go wrong because black is still the king of neutrals.
Another thing to love about onyx is that it’s very inexpensive. This elegant onyx and marcasite pendant is just $18.99. Who’d have thought! And the matching earrings are just $10.99!
Spend more $49.99 or more on Gem Avenue jewelry and shipping within the U.S. is free! If you’re looking for another piece that will match beautifully, check out this marcasite hummingbird brooch.
All three pieces ship internationally.
