You splurged on your hair care products last month, so any and all waste hits you where it hurts the most: your wallet. Invest in the Fill-It-Up Travel Set ($25) from Kate Spade Saturday and you'll always fill your travel bottles with the right amount of shampoo, conditioner, and gel. Just be suuuper careful when filling the bottles. We always seem to be so hasty that we spill.
It's summertime and your hands are taking a beating thanks to your fondness for digging in the dirt. Add a tube of Gardeners Hand Therapy ($7-30) from Crabtree & Evelyn to your caddy, or store it near the basement sink for quick access after you scrub out the muck from under your fingernails. The cream has a light earthy-nutty smell, a by-product of both the moisture-rich macadamia nut oil and the myrrh extract.
Johnny Depp wearing a crown... yeah, that makes sense to us. Show just how obsessed you are with Johnny Depp (or James Franco, if you're nearsighted) with the King Johnny Tank Top ($17)! Just don't get too distracted looking down at yourself wearing it.
Got a couple extra holes in your ears? Why waste them on boring old studs or hoops when you can gussy them up with this Celestial Curve Earring ($25)? It'll make you the envy of all your single-pierced friends.
This Ann Taylor Wide Stretch Buckle Belt ($58) is so darned big, you could probably position it in the right spot and totally conceal that stubborn bit of belly pudge other belts seem to want to accentuate. So long, SPANX!

Did this Apex Ring ($15) get its name because it's the height of fashion?
Don't let your shirt do all the talking. Give your patterned blouses a break and try these Beaded Shorts ($100) this summer with your breezy tees, or even with a buttoned-up blazer for a little more polish.
We maintain that it's always best to sign up for the dessert when faced with a potluck. It's the last dish of the evening, giving you leave to show up fashionably late with the most coveted part of the meal. With that said, baking in summer totally sucks. Use a few recipes from Bakeless Sweets: Pudding, Panna Cotta, Fluff, Icebox Cake & More No-Bake Desserts ($18) by Faith Durand to wow your potluck crowd instead. We're currently trying to decide what to make next: Nutella fluff (oh, yes!) or a s'mores pudding cake.
The quickest way to brighten up an old room is to add some stylish wallpaper. Unfortunately for renters and commitmentphobes, though, the finality of traditional paper isn't usually the best option. Enter the Vintage Flower Removable Wallpaper ($25 per panel) from Chasing Paper. It's vibrant, modern, and easy to both attach (just peel the backing and stick) and remove. It's also a totally awesome way to transform a chest of drawers or bookshelf without getting out the paint and primer!
English Star Wars tees are more common than smugglers in Mos Eisley... But a Japanese Star Wars shirt ($22)? Now that's so quirky it's downright fashionable!
Why opt for a boring old bomber when you can get one with a bright pink tropical print? This Flamingo Bomber Jacket ($58) gives tradition a big middle finger, opting instead for a 1980s-inspired look we think would fit in nicely in South Beach or Venice.
We've found the perfect gift for that special person in your life who is constantly correcting your usage of "whom" and "who" and "then" and "than". Brain Games for Word Nerds ($7) is full of mind-bending puzzles that will challenge their know-how and expand their prodigious vocabulary.
Say what you want about human fashion designers, no one handles a thread like a spider! The MKL Accessories Spider Web Ring ($22) is a huge leap forward from those plastic Halloween spider rings we all wore as kids.
Remember freeze pops? Warm weather still has us craving those plastic tubes of deliciously flavored sugar water, but our grown-up metabolisms are a little less forgiving now than they were when we were six and hyperactive. Thankfully, we can now enjoy the same nostalgic experience with our own health-conscious concoctions, thanks to Zipzicle ($3). These familiarly shaped bags are ready to be filled with fruity recipes of your choice!
You can't handle the truth! (Not you, personally. It's everyone else.) Maybe the truth would be more palatable if we wrote it across our chests, circled it with a heart, and accessorized it with studded bracelets and stunning makeup. Either way, if you're too sweet to let your attitude do the talking, why not have this I'm Not Sorry Tulip Back Tank ($14) get your message across?
