GET ON THE A-TEAM
I pity the fool whose pants drop because they don’t have a super-cool handmade belt buckle from Swear Jar Design holding ‘em up. Seriously, though, that’s pretty embarrassing. You should do something about that. (belt buckle, $299, swearjardesign.com)
KODACHROME TOME
Dear Diary, this pretty new cover I got for you is so colorful and cheerful, it almost makes me forget my secret pain. Oh, don’t worry, I said “almost.” (Hiroko Ono journal/planner cover, $30, littleotsu.com)
CHARMIN SCHMARMIN
Hats off (and pants down) to Heidi Kenney over at My Paper Crane, who has an uncanny way of making just about anything too cute for words. Double-ply’s got nothing on these little guys. Squeezeably soft, indeed. (toilet-paper roll plushy, $15, mypapercrane.com)
CASE STUDY
Nerdy-cute style might be in, but that black nylon laptop case screams “undergrad on her way to the library for an all-nighter.” And who wants to remember that? Ugh. Upgrade to a sleeker one from Snap Design and you’ll earn extra credit for good looks. (vinyl laptop cases, 12-inch case $84 or 15-inch case $94, snapcatalog.com)
IT’S RAINING ... FAIRIES?
Grab your umbrella! The Little Odd Forest isn’t a regular rain forest. Here, there are downpours of fairies and cuteness and hearts. (OK, even if that sentence made you want to gag, you have to admit the shirt’s really adorable.) (Faerie Rain tank top, $15, forestprints.com)
’SWATCH’ WATCH
These eclectic fabric watch-wristband hybrids look very chic and provide full wrist coverage. Very important. No sneaking peeks at my wrists, dirty wrist peeker! (fabric band watches, $40, ladiesauxiliaryclub.com)
THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE
Illuminate yourself with this shimmering sterling chandelier necklace by Cuyler Hovey King. Très élégant, mon chérie! (chandelier necklace, $90, cuylerhoveyking.com)
