Agree to Disagree: Miller High Life Bank

We're fond of our lil' Outblush Editorial family, and are usually in accord regarding product selection, but sometimes we look at an item that a fellow editor has chosen and do a double take. Which is why we bring you Agree To Disagree, a new feature that'll show you another side to all the happy-sappy product love we've got goin' on and allow you, the readers, to decide whether that item really is crave or cringe-worthy.

Some of us thought this Miller High Life Bank should be stuffed with novelty prophylactics and displayed in a frat house, next to the Kegerator and bongs. And it looks like y'all agreed. Piggy banks are a great idea for storing loose change, but we'd prefer to use something (like this fabulously ironic Money Bag Wallet) that doesn't give off the impression that we're college freshmen who think the height of culture is wearing a St. Pauli Girl costume at Halloween.

Kensie Girl Shawl Cardigan

We don't usually shop in the Junior's section, but we're coming around for the slouchy chic energy of the Kensie Girl Shawl Cardigan ($49). Complete with a flattering deep V and concealed pockets, this casual number could be dressed up with leather skinnies or studded anything. Hello, this hot orange red sweater might be the only attractive poncho inspired cardigan that we've seen. Ever.

Bobbi Brown Spring Palettes

Ladies, it's time for some spring cleaning, and we're going through our purse's oft-neglected makeup bag. It's currently full of travel-sized hair products, myriad lip sticks and glosses, a few eye shadow palettes with broken shadows. We're dumping all the makeup and keeping the sleek Bobbi Brown 'Aquamarine' Palette ($60), which has us covered with five correlating eyeshadows that all complement a bright aquamarine, as well as three cool-toned lip and cheek colors for a complementary face. If this color doesn't call to you, the palette comes in a purple or neutral colorway as well.

An Illustrated Life

This week, we're all about maximizing our creative mojo - Maybe it's the first shoots of Spring foliage emerging from the soil, but we want to unearth our inner artist, and An Illustrated Life: Drawing Inspiration from the Private Sketchbooks of Artists, Illustrators and Designers ($14) is here to help. Tracing the trajectory of the flowering ideas from the personal pages of top visionaries like Amanda Kavanagh and Stefan Sagmeister is sure to get our blood pumping. If we don't have some sort of breakthrough that's ok; this enthralling book will captivate any creative type that takes a seat at our coffee table.

J. Crew Scalloped Top

Every time we dip into the pool, we pretend we're the Little Mermaid. Our secret is out, and we're not embarrassed. But here's the thing - no one makes a clamshell bra you can actually swim in, so summer after summer, we slip into the same bathing suit and use our imagination. However, J. Crew's Solid Scalloped Underwire Top ($50) is highly reminiscent of Ariel's top, and even comes in an appropriate shade of lilac. Oh, and if you dont have the Ariel fantasies? It's still a cute suit! (In case you were wondering, the bottoms are a simple scalloped pair - not a shiny green tail!)

T-Spheres Massage Balls

The massages, they get expensive. But you're stressed out. Tired. Sore. About ready to cry from lack of a massage. Solution? T-Spheres Massage Balls ($30-35). Available fragrance free or with scents like rose geranium or peppermint grapefruit, these little reflexology massage balls can be used in a variety of ways to help you stretch and de-stress. Place them at the small of your back during long airplane flights or late nights at your office, or use the stretch and reflexology massage suggestions from T-Spheres to unwind.

Ecco Bella Mascara

100% natural and vegan, Ecco Bella Mascara ($15) has a pure formula made from clay and iron oxides, without lacquer, shellac and alcohol, so our lashes stay undamaged and resilient. The same logic of a red clay facial applies to this mascara, and we love the organic spa treatment. Although it's water resistant, one customer complained of smudging, but if you're like us, just use that smudge for next day smoky eyes (It works.).

Tokyo Bay Angel Multi Strand Watch

When it comes to wristwatches, some of us at Outblush just can't have nice things. We bend, bash, play with, fold, spindle, and mutilate every one we get, and they all end up quite literally falling apart. So you're just going to have to wear the Tokyo Bay Angel Multi Strand Watch ($80) for us. We like the contrast of the loose little leather straps and the solid metal band, and the overall delicacy of the design makes it more wearable than a lot of the funky timepieces out there. (And when someone on the sidewalk stops you to ask the o'clock, think of us, won't you?)

Printed Shoe Laces

Add some fun to your plain ol' sneaks! The Printed Shoe Laces ($4) are the perfect accessory to spice up your sneaker collection. These fun printed laces are available in floral prints, stripes and dots. We're personally lovin' the dark floral print for Spring!

Squatters Urban Gnomes

Sprucing up our suddenly Springy gardens gets and infusion of artsy street style with the Squatters Urban Gnomes ($78). As much as we love the Amelie gnome gag and the subsequent Travelocity gnome campaign, we needed "a hip update to the traditional garden gnome." Fill these bone china figures with gravel to withstand windy weather or keep 'em empty, and let them hang out in house planter. Any way we twist it, these things (especially the Dandelion model) are sweeties.

Bay Breeze Sweater

A preppy nautical sweater is just the right item to transition us into spring. The Bay Breeze Sweater ($150) from Vineyard Vines will keep us warm when the evenings and mornings are chilly, but has just enough of that 'spring break in the Hamptons' feel to remind us that warmer weather and beach bonfires are on the way.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb La Vie en Rose

A spritz of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose ($80) is just what we need to chase away the last dregs of winter weather! This limited-edition version of their Flowerbomb scent is a powerful burst (dare we say, explosion?) of intense roses, freesia, and lily of the valley. It's not overwhelmingly floral, though, thanks to refreshingly spicy notes of tangerine, pink pepper, and tea, weighted down by a dusky drift of patchouli at the base.

See more Viktor & Rolf.

Tulip Festival Romper

Get playful as you lounge around in the Tulip Festival Romper ($58)! This nearly sheer cotton romper is cheerful and bright with a multi color tulip print on a navy blue background. It is the perfect little thing to throw on during the humid, balmy weather ahead of us.

Portable Sewing Machine

We're crafty girls at heart, but we're a little intimidated by large sewing machines, especially since they can get pricey and complicated with features. The Portable Sewing Machine ($24) might just be the place for newbies to start. This cutie comes in candy apple red, and she's portable, too. We'd take her along for the ride when we visit family or friends; heck, we'd take her to the park on a sunny day or get a little sewing in under our desk at work (shh, don't tell our boss we said that)!

Twenty8Twelve Violet Blouse

We can forgive Sienna Miller for her "Do I like Jude Law or not? Hmm. He cheated on me, like, eighty times before... I don't think he'll do it again," hemming and hawing, thanks to her fashion line Twenty8Twelve's chic Violet Blouse ($132). The buttery ivory silk printed with butterflies makes for an equally lovely work or casual outfit, paired with a pencil skirt or dark skinny jeans.

Jimmy Choo Zulu Butterfly Clutch

Sizzle with style and white hot accessories! The Jimmy Choo Zulu Butterfly Clutch ($795) is a gorgeous pleated white leather clutch with a woven snake-effect butterfly embellishment. It is a definite eye-catcher!

Carousel Hummingbird Feeder

Whimsical potentially to a fault, the Carousel Hummingbird Feeder ($70) feels like we're making our own little wonderland. Hummingbirds stand in for the usual horse suspects under a punchy red flag topped umbrella canopy bright enough for a circus. They drink from lovely blown glass flower feeding orbs, and the beauty of nature unfolds before our eyes in a strange stage show we've set up in our gardens.

Rocco DiSpirito: Now Eat This

Not only is Rocco DiSpirito pretty damn easy on the eyes, his recipes are pretty easy on the tongue - and the waistline! His newest cookbook, Now Eat This!: 150 of America's Favorite Comfort Foods, All Under 350 Calories ($13) focuses on fast, easy, delicious versions of comfort food faves like fried chicken and brownies, all clocking in low on the calorie scale. Simple swaps for fattening ingredients and a generous hand with flavorful vegetables, herbs, and spices up the taste factor without damaging the nutritional content. Each recipe has a nutritional breakdown, too, courtesy of a board-certified nutritionist.

Neapolitan Pencil Skirt

Ah, the daunting pencil skirt, too irresistible to pass by yet a little frightening to try. Do not forget that the curve-accentuating form is what makes this skirt timelessly sexy! She's still going after 60 years. We drool over the Neapolitan Pencil Skirt ($98), not only because it makes us crave ice cream, but also for its colorful, brush-stroke pattern. The color combination potential is mind-boggling, as well as essential for mixing-and-matching work outfits.

Pom Pom Ottoman

We're loving the hippie chic vibe of the Pom Pom Ottoman ($128). This overstuffed, nontraditional ottoman is stitched with soft and colorful fuzzy strands of just about every possible color. Plus it has wool pompom accents at each top corner. And best of all, it is super lightweight, which makes it easy to move from room to room.

Rhinestone and Stone Cuff

The Rhinestone and Stone Cuff ($24) is a fabulous accessory for this Spring! This fun cuff has a ol' western feel combined with a fabulous turquoise stone that screams vintage. And we're loving all of the intricate detail along the cuff's edge.

Deciduous Puzzle

This Deciduous Puzzle ($38) reminds us of a really refined third grade craft project. It might be fun for a young one to assemble, but it'd be equally nice as an offbeat alternative to a fresh bouquet in your bedroom. Spring is coming...once you put it together.

Oh My Bag

OMG, it's an OMB. "Oh My" Bag ($210), that is. This statement handbag from Chicago's Habit design collective features "buttery soft" woven leather (yum!) and a large oval handle, resembling the shape of an "O" . We can easily see ourselves slinging this onto our arm when our hands get full or onto our shoulder when we feel like showing it off.

Roll Tab Anorak

Because we're not excluded from Spring showers (Damn you, El Nino!) the Kenneth Cole Roll Tab Anorak ($129) will keep us high and dry and high and mighty. We bet the 100% polyester chambray is water resistant, at least, and hell, the metallic jet gray looks like armor. Knight us and put us on a horse, because we're ready for fashion battle.

Cheese Grater Light

It might be a little cheesy (oh, we went there), but wouldn't this Cheese Grater Light ($75) be a snarky addition to your kitchen? If you're one of those crafty types, you might even be able to make one on your own. Let us know how that goes...

Deux Tone Twist Sandal

What a fabulous find for frugal fashionistas! The Deux Tone Twist Sandal ($28) is a great sandal to have in any wardrobe for the summer. This strappy sandal has braided two-tone uppers and stylish twist detailing. And they're flat so you'll be able to walk miles in these puppies!

Ling Wong Shredder and Sharpener

We feel a little wrong drilling our dull pencils into Ling Wong Shredder and Sharpener ($12). This plastic panda gets a lot of abuse, but we appreciate this critter's hard work. It makes perfect sense if you think about it; pandas gnaw on diamond hard bamboo all day, so why can't they pull a little weight for little old us?

Bremenn Emergency Zit Stick

So they told you that once you hit your 20s or 30s, acne would go away. They lied. What to do, then, when faced with a random, unexplainable giganticmonsterpimplenotagain? Bremenn Emergency Zit Stick ($21) to the rescue! With super-concentrated benozyl peroxide (2.5%!!) and anti-redness and anti-swelling agents, it starts to work immediately without getting cakey or drying skin out. Ahhh. That's better.

See more anti acne sticks.

Marciano Ryker Dress

If Catholic school mistresses took over the world and demanded everyone wear a uniform every single day of their lives, we'd probably choose a jersey dress. They're loose, soft, and airy and can drape and accentuate curves. The best is when they double-duty day-to-night; such is the case with Guess by Marciano's Ryker Dress ($148). The Ryker comes with beautiful architectural detailing across the neck and back of the dress, as well as at the waist.
