Boden Jersey Maxi Dress

We basically lived in maxi dresses all summer because c'mon, they're like fashionable pajamas!

A house divided: she wants pumpkin, he wants apple. What's the consummate baker to do? Make a halfsie-halfsie pie in this Split Decision Pie Pan ($18), of course. Though, why you wouldn't just make two pies is beyond us. We'll come over and eat a slice or six if you're... [More]

Forever 21 Pointelle Knit Tights

Since we're obsessed with tights (and we're owning up to it--yes, it is an obsession), we figure we need to stock up on as many adorable styles as possible, but avoid going into debt over them. They are just tights, after all. We're fans of the Pointelle Knit Tights ($8)... [More]

Butter London Minger Nail Color

We're going to go out on a limb here and say that the fall Butter London Minger Nail Color ($14) was inspired by pumpkins? Turning leaves? Halloween? We never thought we'd have orange fingernails, but Minger has a deep enough color that it totally works. AAAND also makes us want... [More]

Cheap Thrill: Zum Kiss Lemon Ginger Lip Balm

Give your love life the wakeup call that it needs with Zum Kiss Lemon Ginger Lip Balm ($4). Your make out buddy will come home for lunch one afternoon, go for the routine "Honey, I'm home" smacker and realize that you're mouth is tingly and tasty in all the right... [More]

BB Dakota Chimney Sweet Coat

Even if the name of the BB Dakota Chimney Sweet Coat ($120) conjures up images of Dick Van Dyke chim chim cheree-ing as Dick the Chimney Sweep, we'd think its silhouette is way more Julie Andrews a la magical nanny extraordinaire. It's got a Victorian vibe that's hard to ignore... [More]

Unite Expanda Dust

Go Go Gadget Volumized Hair!!! Puff up those dull, lifeless locks with Unite Expanda Dust ($28), a dry spray, not a shampoo, that lifts at the root and adds texture to the shaft of the hair. A little goes a long way allowing you to customize the size of that... [More]

notNeutral Links Dining Setting

Browsing the Design Public Outlet always makes us feel warm an fuzzy inside. Look, another find: the notNeutral Links Dining Setting ($120 / 20 piece set) by Rios Clementi Hale Studios swirled right into our hearts. Guess what, graphics like that don't go out of style.... [More]

Nongli Bow-Accent T-Strap Pumps

Our first reaction to seeing these Nongli Bow-Accent T-Strap Pumps ($25) was that they were probably out of our price range. Than we saw they were only 25 BUCKS! Then we realized the blush pink would make our gams look like sticks of butta. And then we were certain we'd... [More]

Why Am I Sober? Hip Flask

It's a question we ask ourselves every day at 5. Why Am I Sober? Hip Flask ($21)... [More]

Morning Glow Pleated Sleeve Dress

We've had it with the real world. If you want to find us, we'll be somewhere in the forest, wearing this Morning Glow Pleated Sleeve Dress ($44). But we're going to be really busy making daisy chain headbands and talking to deer, so you might need to set up an... [More]

BareMinerals Insider Introducing Cheek Tint

Normally we would say that our favorite area of makeup to focus on is the eyes. We love a good long lash. But this season has us thinking more about the subtle art of the blushing cheek. BareMinerals Insider Introducing Cheek Tint ($36) is a four piece collection that forces... [More]

Tse & Tse Night Igloo

Paper thin porcelain of the Tse & Tse Night Igloo ($59) lets candle light glow softly underneath. Our plan is romantic dinner, "snuggling," then remembering not to burn the house down. Eskimo kisses for all!... [More]

Sperry Top-Sider Women's Authentic Original Wedge by Jeffrey

We get upset when someone tries to make us take off our Top-Siders and get dressed up, so we've found a loophole. This Sperry Top-Sider Women's Authentic Original Wedge by Jeffrey ($225) comes in five delicious colors and flavors, and we can't wait to slip a soothing suede pair on... [More]

Coco Cake Knife

Break the ice at that party around the cake platter. The Coco Cake Knife ($14) by Jan Hansen is a cute critter that stands upright. We're crossing our fingers that it makes the ice queens smile and not scoff.... [More]

Personal Shopper: A Ringmaster Inspired Jacket for Kimmy's Halloween Costume

Kimmy writes: "Hey ladies- First, I want to say I love the site and i check it every day! Although, my bank account hates it because I have a serious shopping addiction.. Oh well!! I am on a desperate search for a circus/ringmaster inspired jacket for a costume I am... [More]

Pilcro Red Heron Heels

How are we supposed to dial back our shoe shopping like we promised our credit card company last month when we keep finding beauties like these Pilcro Red Heron Heels ($148)? We can pretty much reason our way into anything, especially when it comes to adding these to our weekly... [More]

Free People Vintage Sweater Socks

We're not just looking forward to layering on top this fall--our sweaters, coats, and scarves are gonna have to take a backseat. With the Free People Vintage Sweater Socks ($20), we can't wait to tuck our legs into a pair of tights, slip these on, and then add our boots.... [More]

DeluxeComfort.com Pillows

We couldn't pick just one, so here goes: We'd like to formally introduce you to the Boyfriend Pillow ($30), the Girlfriend Pillow ($15), and the Breast Friend Pillow ($35). Infinitely more comfortable than an actual person with hard pokey bones and things, these pillows would be a great gift for... [More]

MicroFridge Red Cabinet Garage Refrigerator

Looks like a tool chest. Rolls like a tool chest. Is a fridge. ($447) Who says girls don't want to hang out in the garage?... [More]

Bebe Contrast Trim Trench Coat

There are at least a million trench coats out there for fall, but we're stopping our search with the Bebe Contrast Trim Trench Coat ($139). It doesn't seem to stand out from the crowd at first, but once we tried it on, we knew it was the one. The shorter... [More]

Illamasqua Theater of the Nameless Nail Lacquer

Oh Illamasqua, how we are confused by thee. We can't pronounce your name nor can we grasp your strange nail talon thingamabobs (technical term). But we for once see eye to eye on your Theater of the Nameless Nail Polish Collection ($21). So moody yet so tastefully done, these four... [More]

Romantic Star Projector

When we first stumbled on the Romantic Star Projector ($22) from Infmetry, we thought, "Score! Bedroom fun just got even MORE fun!" But we suppose we could use this projector for more than just two-person ambiance. We could use it during a Halloween party to add some spookiness to the... [More]

Hugo Boss Rectangular Automatic Movement Watch

We were Facebook chatting with our boyfriend at work the other day when he linked us some terribly juvenile rubber watch that he wanted for Christmas. Clearly, his needs will not be met this year. Instead, we're getting him this Hugo Boss Rectangular Automatic Movement Watch ($450). Sleek, industrial and,... [More]

Doubtblush: American Gold Sacred Heart Cut Out Maxi

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything. Full disclosure: we were initially... [More]

Slatkin & Co. Leaves Scented Candle

Don't let the name of this Slatkin & Co. Leaves Scented Candle ($20) fool you. It doesn't exactly smell like leaves--musty and decomposing (even though we kinda like that scent). Rather, it smells like the autumns of your childhood rediscovered. Sure, that's a big claim to live up to, but... [More]

Thermafuse f450

We change our minds as often as we change our underwear. And thanks to the invention of "day of the week underwear", that is every day. Thermafuse f450 ($25 a bottle) gives us that same control over our frizzy, kinky curly hair without the commitment of a real laundry schedule.... [More]

The Potters Workshop Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit ($Inquire) look like hanging flowers from a technicolor dream. They're actually hand-decorated ceramic light fixtures. Crafted by artists from the The Potters Workshop collective out of South Africa, you can bet your bottom dollar these are more gorgeous in person.... [More]

Betsey Johnson English Tea Set Duo Ring

You're not a coffee kinda girl. We get it. Neither are all of us. We just can't deal with our coffee breath, and we're pretty sure none of the pregnant supersmeller ladies around us can deal either. That said, we all have to get our caffeine somewhere! Some of us... [More]

Bialetti Tazzona Espresso Machine

The candy red Bialetti Tazzona Espresso Machine ($216) offers up piping hot caffeine, high-end Italian quality, and a whimsical design. The cup-shape- we saw immediately, but the robot face - that took us a sec. Friendly robots making us coffee ... Finally artificial intelligence we can get behind.... [More]

Beach Sexy Flawless Airbrush Instant Bronze Body Spray

Though we've mentally embraced fall and all it has to offer in the way of hot lattes and knit scarves, our poor summer tan is crying out, "WHY UNIVERSE, WHY!?" To comfort our skin and remind it that the sun isn't the only way to keep color, we're turning to... [More]

Theme Embellished Sweater

Sure, we'll take a little bling on our fall sweaters! The Theme Embellished Sweater ($59) is right up our alley: a neutral color that can go with anything and a little extra sparkle so we stand out from the crowd. But we're cool with toning down the glitz and glam... [More]

Weekly Purse Page Lookalike Poll: September 26, 2011

Are you fickle? Faithful? Prove it. This week The Purse Page is giving you the opportunity to select either a satchel or something that's, gasp!, not a satchel (well, one of a few not-a-satchels) in the newest lookalike roundup poll. Satchels have been getting all the love. Are you still... [More]

Personal Shopper: Momma Magzilla needs an awesome new diaper bag

One of our own fabulous editors, Magzilla, writes: "As a scared shitless soon-to-be mom of two, I would like an awesome new diaper bag. By jove, I deserve it. It has to fit diapers, wipes, a snack bag for the toddler, a bottle cooler (fits two bottles and an ice... [More]

Patricia Field Bordello Hot Pink Glitter Platform Pumps

We are throwing our better judgment into the wind and declaring our love for these Patricia Field Bordello Hot Pink Glitter Platform Pumps ($88). They're for our... Halloween costume. Yeeeah. Sure, the inclusion of the word "bordello" in the name really says a lot about their character, but we are... [More]

Berkshire Twin Hammered Beverage Dispensers

Personally we think it's a little early to suggest filling your beverage dispensers with stuff that will get you hammered. But it's your party. We're into the church picnic look of these Berkshire Twin Hammered Beverage Dispensers ($40 on sale!). Doesn't this make you want to lounge on a blanket... [More]

Coffee Lovers Ring

Wear your love for the good stuff proudly with the Coffee Lovers Ring ($49) by Smiling Silver Smith. Sure, it doesn't come with an extra kick of caffeine or smell like you just stepped into your favorite coffeehouse, but it may remind you to take a mid-afternoon work break and... [More]

Wizzard Puppy Costume

You've got your Halloween costume squared away, but what about Spot? Please, please put your pup in the custom-made Wizard Dog Costume ($33) by Young Urban Puppy and let the power of Harry Potter live on! Maybe you could even get him to bark out a spell or two when... [More]

You Tell Us: It Cosmetics My Beautiful Breasts Kit

Um...surrrrrrr-iously? We're a little dumb founded by It Cosmetics My Beautiful Breasts Kit ($35). It's boobies...in a box. And not even silicone chicken cutlets; those we understand. This is a makeup kit that allows you to paint on some ta-tas as if no one would be the wiser. Cleavage does... [More]

Robert Lambert Hot Ginger Caramel Sauce

Do you want to know how many pints of vanilla ice cream we've eaten through since someone gifted us this Hot Ginger Caramel Sauce ($14) from Dean & Deluca? Let's just say it's more than 2 and less than 4. In our defense, we shared a little. We digress. The... [More]

T

Uptightso Herringbone Handmade Leggings

Wearing the Uptightso Herringbone Handmade Leggings ($76) might make us feel like a rocket ship taking off into space. Or maybe it'd be something closer to a car breaking the sound barrier. Any way you look at us in these, our styles faster than yours. It's called being ahead of... [More]

19th Century French Crystal Chandelier

We'd love to class up our apartment with sweeping chandeliers, but we're afraid they'd look like gigantic sparkly stalactites hung from our lowly apartment ceiling. Should we happen to win the lottery in the next month you can bet we'll be buying a house on the bluffs and hanging these... [More]

Juicy Couture Feeling Moody Bracelets

At first, we thought that the Feeling Moody Bracelets ($38) from Juicy Couture acted like the mood rings we used to wear in Junior High. Alas, the bracelets stay the same color no matter what your body temperature. But we thought we'd still bring them to you because you can... [More]

Chicken and Egg: A Memoir of Suburban Homesteading with 125 Recipes

You wanna know what we just found out? It's legal for us to own three chickens in our (non-existent) backyards--and we live in the middle of a city! Okay, so even though we're not going to run out and buy little chicks (though it's tempting!), we are going to read... [More]

Laurel Denise Life Whispers Bud Vase

As the days get shorter and the air gets colder, we need extra positive affirmations in our lives. It totally sucks when you walk into the office in the morning before the sun is up and leave at night after it has already set. We think we're going to bring... [More]

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Lotion

You know what we hear isn't good for your face? Excess oil. You know what Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil Free Lotion ($25) doesn't have? Excess oil. It moisturizes your beautiful visage with some really hard to spell extracts and vitamin E. We can spell "vitamin e" no problem. For the... [More]

Trashy Diva Honey Dress

Right now, at this very moment, there is NOTHING we want more than to be sashaying into a restaurant lobby in the Trashy Diva Honey Dress ($163). Preferably waiting to meet our alluringly handsome significant other. With our hair in movie star waves. Oh, and wearing red lipstick and black... [More]

I Never Finish Anyth Black and White Pillow

We wish it weren't true, but sadly, it is. Just ask our porch light that's still out. Or the half-painted vintage photo frames we swore we'd re-purpose. Just be impressed that you're seeing this post--we've got 14 more in various stages of completion in separate tabs on our laptops. I... [More]

Vimbeget Nesting Rings

It looks like the Vimbeget Nesting Rings ($Inquire) were split from the same stone slab, except they're handcrafted silver. The concept was compelling, but the gorgeous texture of these was enough for us to make more than a mental note about these as a possibility for our wedding future.... [More]

Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Facial Cleanser

We like mushrooms on our pizza, in our omelets, mixed in with some pasta and certainly sautéed with some onions on a steak. Might as well take this love affair a little further and put some on our face. Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Facial Cleanser ($28) uses three different mushrooms... [More]

Brooklyn Hard Candy

We have a two-pronged reason for loving these little 2.5 oz bottles of Brooklyn Hard Candy ($9). The first is that they're sweet and simple. They come in lots of fruity flavors like wild strawberry and apple. (Blueberry is our favorite, even though it turns our tongues blue!) The second... [More]

Guess Mattea Cowl Sweater

We LOVE when we find a sweater that's equally sexy as it is comfy. We get to feel toasty warm and covered, but also show off a little oh la la! The Guess Mattea Cowl Sweater ($89) hugs our curves--but not too tightly--and gives the world a peak of our... [More]

The Babe With the Power Creeper

We might as well face the music. Our Outblush offspring are all going to be a bit on the nerdy side--the fashionably nerdy, no doubt--but since we spend at least 8 hours a day on the internet, some of that cats-making-funny-faces-video-watching and snarky-blog-reading is surely being osmosed already. Since we've... [More]

Personal Shopper: Something that Smells Like Moroccanoil for Katie

Says Katie: "You may have already received/answered this question before, but I can't remember. Do you have any suggestions for a perfume that smells like Moroccan Oil . . . I'm addicted to the scent, and would be over the moon to find a perfume that smelled like it. Thanks!!"... [More]

The Emperor of Scent

Ever since we read Tom Robbins' Jitterbug Perfume, we've been curious about the perfume industry. We can't really say we possess any special olfactory powers, but we're slowly learning how to distinguish notes in our own perfumes. We just finished reading The Emperor of Scent: A True Story of Perfume... [More]

Multicolor Stripe Throw

Even though we'll miss those hot summer days, there's something truly enticing about the cool weather. We love to hibernate all winter with a good book and a cozy blanket! This Multicolor Stripe Throw ($125) looks striking thrown over your bed, or resting on the arm of your couch until... [More]

Asos Leather Panelled Bucket Bag

We've been looking for the perfect everyday bag for fall and we think we've found it with the Asos Leather Panelled Bucket Bag ($110, on sale). It's on the larger side, but we like that--nerds that we are, we like to store the usual suspects in our purses along with... [More]

Love Me or Leave Me Earrings

What better way to get to the point than to wear these Love Me or Leave Me Earrings ($75) by jeweler Melanie Favreau? Though maybe a heart and a gun earring is a little ambiguous...you could also be saying, "If you break my heart, I'll shoot you." Or even, "I... [More]

Cheap Thrill: L'Oreal Amazon Flash Pro Manicure Nail Polish

Still craving the color of summer but willing to finally let go of the neon face melters that made up last season's palette? L'Oreal Amazon Flash Pro Manicure Nail Polish ($5) is just enough sunshine without bringing the acid rain to ruin your autumn color scheme parade. Giant Inflatable Snoopy... [More]

Super 130s Vintage Pleated Dress

There's something about the Super 130s Vintage Pleated Dress ($450) at Brooks Brothers that makes us swoon. It could be the pure wool, or the deep charcoal grey color, but we're betting that it's the puritan design. It's so...modern day Scarlet Letter. As simple as this dress is, we don't... [More]

Heartbreaker

What is it about french films and their awesomeness at romantic comedy? We watched Heartbreaker ($25) the other night and laughed so hard we burned off the eight bags of fun sized peanut butter M&M's we scarfed down. Full of non-cliché romantic moments, quirky characters, awesome music, and wardrobes we'd... [More]

AdamFrank Reveal Ambient Light

Cubicles could get a lot more habitable with the AdamFrank Reveal Ambient Light ($380). This wall mounted lighting installation creates the illusion of sunlight streaming through a window onto a wall. That's right. The effect of a window without tearing a hole in the wall. What's crazier? The trees in... [More]

Echo Addict Knit Muffler

We love fall for it's "in between" weather. You know what we mean--one day it's 45 degrees and the next it's back up to 72. We neither sweat to death nor freeze our tushes off. But it makes dressing for the temps a hassle. We usually just brave it out... [More]

Dance on Broadway for Wii

The jazz hands are coming out, no matter what anyone has to say it about it this time. Take a break from Glee and dance off your worries with Dance on Broadway for Wii ($10). We can practice our moves away from a mirror (shocker), or play multiplayer dance battles... [More]

Georg Jensen Magic Ring

The Georg Jensen Magic Ring ($1,815) truly is magic because it makes us forget that we usually don't care for pearl rings. We find them to look kinda dated--unlike their classic pearl necklace counterparts. But the magic ring is as modern as you can get and the design says elegant... [More]

Izola Stainless Steel 3oz. Flask

You know what they say..."A drink a day keeps the doctor away." No? Well, that's what they SHOULD say. Cheers! Izola Stainless Steel "To My Health" Flask ($22)... [More]

Judith August The Everything Pencil

So you've got this huge event planned, be it a wedding, bat mitzvah, holiday smash or annual divorce celebration. But you've also got this killer dress you want to wear and OF COURSE the day of the event, you get a gnarly bruise the shape of Texas on your shoulder,... [More]

Thomas Paul Baby Elephant Pillow

Put some finishing touches on your nursery with the Thomas Paul Baby Elephant Pillow ($24). We're assuming you'll be spending plenty of time in that glider anyway--you might as well lean your back against this cushy elephant. Plus, it's adorably hip without being in-your-face-nauseatingly-baby-decor.... [More]

Johnathan Adler Turquoise Pill Carafe

As we've noted before, there are several of us editors who are expecting in the near future, which means between us all, we take, like, 43256 pills and vitamins a day. Seriously, prenatals, fish oil, vitamin D, some papaya enzyme tablets for heartburn...the list goes on. We each need one... [More]

Celebrate: Marvel Comics Retro: Proud Single Woman

Did you know it's national comic book day? Once again we can count on Marvel to put into words exactly what we thought all through college. Marvel Comics Retro: Proud Single Woman ($75).... [More]

Filigree Jewelry Hooks

We're always looking for ways to store display our awesome jewelry stash. We've gone the jewelry box route so many times and it always proves annoying. Even with a million little boxes and sections things seem to tangle and get lost. So we're gonna move everything over to a few... [More]

Frye Reagan Campus Driver Moccasins

We're gonna tell you right now: when we're not zipping up a pair of boots this fall, we're slipping our feet into these Frye Reagan Campus Driver Moccasins ($148). We'll even go so far as to swear by them. They're casual, incredibly comfortable (there's virtually no "breaking in" period in... [More]

Tom Binns Ethno Teknik Swarovski Crystal Earrings

Wowza! We like when our sparkly bling also has brilliant color. The Tom Binns Ethno Teknik Swarovski Crystal Earrings ($340) certainly give our earlobes plenty of adornment. They're three long inches of hand-painted crystal--perfect for putting on with your best LBD or sprucing up a more decorous work week outfit.... [More]

American Apparel 3-Pack Neon Nail Lacquer

We've decided not to go muted for the fall. And by that, we mean we're skipping the mauve-ish shades at our next manicure and opting for some color...real color. Neon! While we aren't officially advocating for the return of the 80's neon scene, we don't mind pops of it here... [More]

bRAINBOW 3D TV Screen Test Necklace

Some of us are television obsessed. The craftsmanship of the bRAINBOW 3D TV Screen Test Necklace ($48) is so good, even those that resist falling into TV oblivion can appreciate it. If ya grow tired of that colorful screen test, you can always insert a photograph.... [More]

Estee Lauder White Linen Perfumed Body Powder Puff

We're not 100% sold on the Estee Lauder White Linen Perfumed Body Powder Puff ($45) packaging. It is more reminiscent of a 1980's cocaine paraphernalia treasure chest than maybe they meant it to be. But we are 100% on board with the white linen scent, especially in the fall and... [More]

Cobra Society Thigh Boots

We know everyone has finding a great pair of boots on their fall "to do" list. How do we know? Cause you all want our help in finding them. Mostly you're all in need of something leather, mid-calf length, and versatile. But if you're looking to stand out (and spend... [More]

The Handy Dandy Hand Strap

Good governor! The last time we tried to capture our adventures on film we caught the tail end of everything. The back of the celebrity we saw in Hollywood, the flash mob blending back into the crowd, and the melt down that followed a cute moment from our kid. Nuts.... [More]

EmersonMade London Coat

We love black bottom cupcakes, cream cheese brownies, and double oreos , but they make us look less than svelte in our favorite LBD. Instead, we'll get our black and white fix with this EmersonMade London Coat ($368). Oh so chic, and calorie free! We must admit though, we'll probably... [More]

Somebody's Mother White Chocolate Sauce With Pear William

Somebody's mother is getting a big fat kiss. We are going to drown drizzle this White Chocolate Sauce With Pear William ($10) over chocolate ice cream, crepes, and our faces. Not necessarily in that order.... [More]

Claude Dozorme Steak Knives

Have you ever noticed when you go out for a steak everything on the plate is brown? Brown steak. Brown potato. Overcooked brown broccoli. Add a little color and je ne sais quoi to your dinner with these French made Claude Dozorme Steak Knives ($155). Since when did eating steak... [More]

Retro Barbie Doll Keychain

This Retro Barbie Doll Keychain ($11) is here to let you know that HBIC stands for "Head Barbie in Charge", and she doesn't want to hear that math is hard or that you're giving up being an astronaut to become a pet stylist. And she sure as hell isn't taking... [More]

Celebrate: Prolana Cherries Jubilee Nail Lacquer

We love to seize the opportunity to celebrate each and every day - after all, the daily grind can be, well, a grind. We're learning that there are many holidays out there that may not have reached "Hallmark" calendar status, but they still count and deserve to be recognized. Preferably... [More]

In Bloom Hemp Collar

We try not to be sensitive about it, but it's almost as annoying to have our girl puppy called a he as it was to have our son called a 'beautiful daughter.' We weren't into all those blinged out and bright pink collars on the market so we were pretty... [More]

Tanda Regenerate Anti-Aging Light Therapy Treatment

Hold the phone. We smell something rotten and it isn't that twenty-something intern with a daddy issue. It's the Tanda Regenerate Anti-Aging Light Therapy Treatment ($250). Taken at face value, it appears to be the same ole pulsing red light space gun that all at-home "laser" treatments are known for.... [More]

If You Dare Invitations

Invite your guests to your next spooktacular Halloween party in style with these rad If You Dare Invitations ($48 for 20). We're pretty excited to bust out our fog machine and tuck it under a table filled with spooky dusty bottles of spirits and bowls full of novelty candy. We... [More]

Limited Edition Amamante Black Cherry Nursing Gown

With two of us Outblushinistas getting ready to pop out newborns in the next few weeks, we've been thinking a lot about how we're going to remain stylish while breastfeeding. Those of us who already have little suckers at home know it's not an easy feat. For a simple way... [More]

Happy first day of Autumn, AND happy Friday, ladies and gents! We hope you all had a fabulous week and have fun plans for the weekend - which now, of course, will include some online shopping, thanks to this week's coupons and sales rounded up by our pals at The... [More]

Neova Squalane

Spring cleaning is so last season. We are deep in the throes of nesting for the 500 vadge destructors that Outblush editors seem to be harvesting this year. We're all freaking out about getting each onesie folded correctly, each shower tile scrubbed one shade lighter and each carpet fiber thoroughly... [More]

Abbey Dawn Peepers Oversized Tee Shirt

Are those giant lensless hipster glasses starting to chafe your face? Give them a break with this Abbey Dawn Peepers Oversized Tee Shirt ($32). If you catch a guy staring at your chest, instead of saying the obvious, "My actual eyes are up HERE!" you can say, "These are very... [More]

Three Chilies Chocolate Chunk Hot Chocolate

If Three Chilies Chocolate Chunk Hot Chocolate ($10) is really what it says it is, than wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it hot, hot chocolate instead of hot chocolate? We'll let you stew on that. We know, we're so deep.... [More]

Horseshoes Set

First one to 40 gets out of doing the dishes for a week. Best two of three wins a bet. It's a good thing this Horseshoes Set ($37) comes stocked with two drink koozies and a bottle opener because we foresee your fall picnics being completely consumed with horseshoes. After... [More]

Redopin Metallic T-Shirt

We're guessing this Redopin Metallic T-Shirt ($38) is lots more comfortable and way less renaissance fair than wearing a chain-mail vest over our favorite baseball tee. We love the relaxed fit and non-obnoxious shine of the shirt. Plus, we're pretty sure no one will bother messing with us since we... [More]

Filson Tin Cloth Dog Bowl

Since dogs can't carry a big gulp in their inadequate paws, the Filson Tin Cloth Dog Bowl ($30) is the next best thing for keeping hydrated after a long walk. We prefer to fill the dish with water, but occasionally we'll spring for some peanut butter flavored Dogdration. We're just... [More]

MM Couture Striped Sharp Shoulder Blazer

Ok, who watched the season premier of Parks and Recreation? If you did, you know that according to Tammy #1 this slouchy model is "not doing (her) breasts any favors", and she's not doing her face any favors either with those weird crazy eyes she's making. We're going to stand... [More]

Betsey Johnson Llola Combat Boot

In the 90s, we didn't have boobs yet, but we desperately wanted to wear slip dresses and combat boots because it was the height of style. Alas, our evil mothers wouldn't let us, saying, "You can't wear a slip dress. You don't have any boobs." What a mean, mean woman... [More]

Traveling Snacks Gift Box

Ever since airlines started charging your first born for a meal, we've been stuffing our purses full of whatever last minute snacks we can find around our house. We'll be honest, it's pretty sad. We'd be stoked if someone hooked us up with a Traveling Snacks Gift Box ($29). One,... [More]

Chevron Go Notes

Somehow in the last few weeks we were too busy to even remember the date Target was hosting Missoni's fabulous line in their stores (for 15 minutes). We were a little ticked when we realized we missed out on the super savings and went on a hunt for our own... [More]

Candie's Peep-Toe Platform Wedge Booties

We feel like we've been seeing various incarnations of the leopard print bootie wedge all over the place. And though it's hot and trendy now, we know it's the kind of shoe we're going to look back at in twenty years and laugh wholeheartedly at. That's why we're going with... [More]

Lauren G. Adams Double Frog Open Cuff

They say you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your Prince Charming. We've found that to be true. Now we're wondering, do frogs have to kiss a lot of princes before they find their froggy-licious soulmate, like the frogs on this Lauren G. Adams Double Frog... [More]

Forever 21 Velveteen Floral Oxfords

Velveteen Floral Oxfords ($23). If those words alone don't give you flashbacks to Bubble Tape and getting in trouble for watching Beavis and Butthead, we don't know what will. And even if you think they're fugtacular, well, you need something to wear with your Brenda Walsh costume, don't you?... [More]

Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future ($13) but we hope The Bird and the Bee continue to be in our future. We're loving the well crafted lyrics, fresh tunes, and overall unique quality of their music. Check out 'You're a Cad' and flush your brain of the crap on... [More]

Reverse Cowgirl Pasties

Is it cold out, or is it just your Reverse Cowgirl Pasties ($25) poking through your shirt? We've been talking a lot about sexy Halloween costumes here, and we think this might take the cake. Match them with a pair of leather chaps over some daisy dukes and give your... [More]

Kirie Bamboo Clock 01

At first glance we thought this Kirie Bamboo Clock 01 ($84) was a cake dusted with a lacey powdered sugar design, which we'll be honest, we thought looked pretty delicious. Then we caught a closer glance and realized it was a clock crafted from delicately cut ivory acrylic and reinforced... [More]

Wayne Pate London Print

We don't really know why London's pigeons are so much more couth than our flying rats in the U.S., but somehow theirs look much more civilized (Is it the newspaper? The umbrella?). And though we've never been to London, we can imagine that Wayne Pate's London Print ($55) is a... [More]

Praline Cake

We know what we'll be asking for our birthday cake next year- the Praline Cake ($50) From Savannah's Candy Kitchen. Forget cake and ice cream, we want a tall glass of milk and a giant wedge of praline goodness. Let them eat cake, you say? Don't mind if we do.... [More]

Elastiderm Eye Cream

Anybody watch Ally McBeal? Well you should have been because then you'd understand what we mean when we say Elastiderm Eye Cream ($99) is the face bra we've all been hoping Elaine Vassel would finally market. But in a realistic jar. Less humorous, probably more effective.... [More]

Coralia Leets Chrysophase Earrings

We know these Coralia Leets Chrysophase Earrings ($175) are a little steep, but we are totally mildly obsessed with their earthy design and brilliant color. We think these would look killer with a coral dress and gold accessories.... [More]

The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookie Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes

Seriously, how can you resist a book that offers up delicacies like C-3PO Pancakes and Jedi Juice Bars? We think it would make an excellent birthday or holiday gift for the husband, kids, or neighbor who practices his mad lightsaber skills in the back yard. Let the fork be with... [More]

Pottery Barn Stainless Steel Alphabet Magnets

These Stainless Steel Alphabet Magnets ($29) are certainly more sophisticated than the colorful plastic letters that adorned our fridge during our youth (and then made a reappearance during our college years), but we don't have to use them in an adult fashion. Unless of course by 'adult' you mean spelling... [More]

Hula Girl Foods Sugar Can Swizzle Sticks

Swizzle sticks are great and all, but that plastic mermaid perched upon a teal stirrer isn't making your drink taste any better. Hula Girl Foods Natural Sugar Cane Swizzle Sticks ($2+ for 20), on the other hand, may not look as pretty, but they're going to taste damn delicious once... [More]

Pop Beauty Face Magnet Primer

The holiday season around the Outblush offices looks similar to how we imagine the Jolie-Pitt household in the mornings: whiney babies, messy arguments and a healthy dose of cereal products flying through the air. We just have so. much. to. do. and never anytime to do it. That's why we... [More]

Doubtblush: Elizabeth & James Fur-Front Car Jacket

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything. Apparently, Mary Kate & Ashley... [More]

Simone Wang Black Onyx Double Shell Earrings

These Simone Wang Black Onyx Double Shell Earrings ($275) claim to be inspired by shells, but we think they look more like bat wings or toad feet or ten-legged dangling robot spiders, and we think they'd be a great way to smugly defy any sort of workplace ban on Halloween... [More]

Cake Milk Made Velveteen Jumbo Hand Cream

Sure we could buy the regular size tube of this stuff, but Cake Milk Made Velveteen Jumbo Hand Cream ($30) goes good with just about everything. Elbows love milk. Knees love milk. Even the heels of our feet love milk. Hell, we open up our Oreos and slather this stuff... [More]

Rebecca MInkoff Yes, It Was Expensive Cory Pouch

Why Yes, It Was Expensive ($55). But sometimes you have to spend money to be fabulous, and it's ok to flaunt that.... [More]

Priti NYC Dark Warrior Nail Polish

We feel like this is how an autumn green shade should be done unlike the OPI Touring America/Oops, We Crapped in the Back Seat Collection. Priti NYC Dark Warrior Nail Polish ($13) is part of their Fall 2011 Flowers Collection and, gals, we're obsessed. It goes with black boots, brown... [More]

Maggy London Stripe Panel Sheath Dress

When we wear this Maggy London Stripe Panel Sheath Dress ($138), we pretend we're as thin as the striped panel. Unlike this model, we stand against a black background at all times and use our lint roller obsessively.... [More]

Hot Tool Tourmaline Ionic Hair Dryer

Why use the Hot Tool Tourmaline Ionic Hair Dryer ($60) to blow dry your hair when you can use it to make super cheap, amazingly simple art for your house? These melting Crayola works of psychedelic genius have us feeling all kinds of Salvador Dali with a side order of... [More]

Cheese and crackers for your guests makes you hospitable. Cheese and crackers for your guests with Blaak Onion Jam ($10) makes you a gourmand and the hostess with the shmanciest snacks in the neighborhood. Which would you rather be?... [More]

Feline Queen Cat Ring

Are you ready to say "OMG! HAI!" every time you look at your hand? Because that's exactly what's going to happen when you start wearing this Feline Queen Cat Ring ($1125). Sure, it's pricey, but we say tell your boyfriend to forget about the traditional engagement ring and get this... [More]

Dr. Dennis Gross Park Avenue Peel Kit

We can just imagine all the Real Housewives of New York City sitting around their $3,000 coffee tables over their $97 glass of wine discussing their book deals, jokes of music careers or the children they love so much that they've sent to private school in Canada and see twice... [More]

Hempz Cucumber and Jasmine Herbal Moisturizer

We recently watched this really informative documentary on the medicinal qualities of mara-ja-wanna and have been somewhat obsessed with finding hemp based beauty products in order to take advantage of all that weedy goodness. Hempz Cucumber and Jasmine Herbal Moisturizer ($13) provides 12 hour long moisturization thanks to some Puff... [More]

Personal Shopper: Tops to go with Lindsay's Modcloth Essential Elegance Skirt

Lindsay writes: "Hi! I recently bought the Modcloth Essential Elegance Skirt, but now that I have it, I feel like none of the tops I own look right with it, and I've no idea what to shop for. I haven't worn a skirt since middle school, and don't pay much... [More]

Booted Out: Vegan Boots

Ah, fall... Crisp apples, colorful leaves, cozy sweaters, and BOOT TIME, BABY! We love us some boots, yessirree Bob, we do, and clearly, y'all do, too. Last fall & winter, we got so many virtually identical Personal Shopper requests for boots, though, that we started to get sick of those... [More]

Exude Lipstick

We're not the hugest fans of Rachel Zoe, but we have to admit she has a certain style, and has lately been photographed wearing a divine deep red lipstick. A little Googling landed us the culprit: Exude Lipstick ($29) in Cranberry. Turns out Ms. Zoe is the spokeswoman for Exude... [More]

Pangea Organics Skincare Discovery Gift Set

The term "gift set" automatically gives one the idea that they're supposed to buy this thing for someone else. Well...no. We don't want to. We want to keep the Pangea Organics Skincare Discovery Gift Set ($40) all to ourselves. Call us skimpy, cheap or selfish but there is nothing wrong... [More]

Marvel Flexible Spatulas

We might actually be able to get him to cook once in a while if we can outfit our entire kitchen in comic book tools. We're starting with these Marvel Flexible Spatulas ($14 each, $50 for all 4) and are keeping our eye out for the following: Hulk Garlic Smasher... [More]

Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts

We can't help but go into a Homer Simpson-esque trance any time someone brings doughnuts into the office. We're pulled from out desks to the break room and stand in awe of that box of sugary, carby goodness. We used to be safe from that calorie-laden awesomeness once we left... [More]

Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair Mask

Here we go again. Another company using words no one has ever heard of. Can't every product just come with a beauty dictionary that way we wouldn't have to get on Wikipedia every time some company decides they've discovered the newest gift to cosmetics? Today's lesson is brought to you... [More]

Doubtblush: bebe Feather Flower Fascinator Headband

In our wide and varied travels across the information superhighway, in addition to the fierce and fabulous, we encounter the insane, the arcane, and the absolutely friggin' ridiculous. Sometimes the paraphernalia, tchotchkes, and fashion disasters we come across are so atrocious we have to vent our disbelief and horror, but... [More]

Fishscape Fishbowl

You're an Oublush reader. If you're going to have a fishbowl, you can't have a boring one. No simple glass bowl for you. Maybe you've mounted your fish to the wall, or perhaps it's dangling like a pendant. If you're still in search of a stand-out abode for your little... [More]

Wei Chinese Rose Foaming Cleanser

Turns out all those pretty bowls full of rose petal-y water in the spa weren't just for show. Wei Chinese Rose Foaming Cleanser ($32) utilizes that water in a gentle cleanser that leaves your face soft and invigorated. Apparently this is a good way to purify the body to allow... [More]

KORS Michael Kors Odin

Pointy heels: super chic, very in, classic and fashionable. Also, hell on your arches. Pointy flats like these KORS Michael Kors Odin ($166 on sale) are just as stylish but won't leave you limping. Remember, no matter how great the shoes are, no girl looks pulled together when she's wincing... [More]

Cheap Thrill: OUCH! Cry Baby Bandages

Hurt yourself shaving, cooking, falling down, handling paper products, or escorting the cat back into the house and out of the garage? OUCH!

However, it is in such high demand that we can... [More]

CB2 Parlour Bold Chair

The Parlour Bold Chair ($799): Good for boring, bland apartments. Bad for hungover house guests.... [More]

Nanette Lepore Provocative Coat

Cold, grey dreary days call for a pop of color and warmth. Nanette Lepore answers the call with this Provocative Coat ($528). Of course, the name makes us think we should wear it with only skimpy lingerie underneath it, which completely defeats the purpose of staying warm...though it would add... [More]

Celebrate: Elephant Jewelry Box

We love to seize the opportunity to celebrate each and every day - after all, the daily grind can be, well, a grind. We're learning that there are many holidays out there that may not have reached "Hallmark" calendar status, but they still count and deserve to be recognized. Preferably... [More]

Gratitude Holiday Telegram Notes

Nothing says sincerity like a hastily written thank you note with a checked box for the item being mentioned. Helping our neighbor with their move all day Saturday? No prob. We just hope one of these tongue and cheek Gratitude Holiday Telegram Notes ($16) comes with a homemade batch of... [More]

PaloVia Pre-Treatment Gel

This summer we told you gals about the PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser and now we can tell you about the equally as effective Pre-Treatment Gel ($30), the version you can buy separately from the laser. Why they didn't come out simultaneously, we may never know. But hey, better late than... [More]

Personal Shopper: Work Appropriate Bodysuits for Katie

Katie commented on our Akira Sexy Deep V-Neck Bodysuit post saying: "I also avoid wearing skirts for this reason and love the idea of a bodysuit however this one is a little risque for my workplace. Would love to see more of these!!" Sure thing, Katie! I'm Found of You... [More]

Grandmas's Chicken Soup

We figure we do the cooking, and the laundry, and the occasional vacuuming so it's only fair we get a little pampering when we're sick. Sure we don't have a man cold, but that doesn't mean we're not as deserving (are we right?). Grandmas's Chicken Soup ($30) is ready made... [More]

Staedtler Karat Aquarell Premium Watercolor Pencils

Coloring within the lines is totally over rated. With Staedtler Karat Aquarell Premium Watercolor Pencils ($29) just blur crooked lines and mistakes with a dab of water for an instantly artistic image. We prefer shots to blur mistakes for our personal lives, but these are watercolor pencils, after all.... [More]

RGB Deep Nail Polish

Don't be fooled by the color in the picture. RGB Deep Nail Polish ($16) has a lot more depth and character than this image conveys. It is a moody, tortured purple that rivals any sense of apathy Bono so openly has for the entire continent of Africa. Perfect for those... [More]

Frayed Roses Bath Mat

We could almost forgive our bathroom tiles for being so damn cold in the morning if we had this Frayed Roses Bath Mat ($34) to step on to. Almost. We'd most assuredly forgive it if it would pick up a chocolate croissant and a coffee for our breakfast while it... [More]

Airmail Mighty Wallet

For all those who veheminantly argue the whole "size doesn't matter, it's how you use it" deal, we found one more example to back you up. The Airmail Mighty Wallet ($15) might be thin and small, but it is as durable and strong as any full sized wallet. Fill it... [More]

Oscar Blandi Pronto Volume Set

Sending positive vibes to our hair follicles isn't getting us as far as that $75 seminar said it would. Conceding defeat, we purchased the Oscar Blandi Pronto Volume Set ($25) which instantly proved a better investment than that craigslist-marketed-waste-of-an-hour ever could be. We shower, shampoo and condition with this stuff... [More]

Bullet Space Pen

Love's a loaded gun and the Bullet Space Pen ($25) is the vehicle to write out sappy love poems. Or speeding tickets. Or the endless rent checks that suck your soul and bank account dry each month. Oh, fodder for excellent writing.... [More]

Pine Bros. Throat Drops

We were slightly weirded out surprised when we traveled to Brazil and saw that their candy aisles and theater concession stands were loaded with Vicks and Halls cough drops as candy choices. Apparently throat drops are a big deal. Apparently Pine Bros. Throat Drops ($10) are a big deal, too.... [More]

Teddie Dress

The Teddie Dress ($198) from J.Crew IS the cherry on top as far as we're concerned. And we're seriously craving to add this little treat to our wardrobe. We'd wear it to work, dinner parties, as part of our Little Orphan Annie costume, and to every Christmas and holiday work... [More]

Borghese Perla Duale High Impact Lip Color

You could: pull out the purse. Fish around for the lip stick. Realize your lips are dry and start searching for the chap stick. Debate which you should put on first, never knowing whether the color goes on top of or under the chap stick. Throw it all against the... [More]

Susan Daniels Feathered Hair Clip

Apparently feathers are still a thing. At least the volume button has been turned down a bit with this Susan Daniels Feathered Hair Clip ($35). We can actually justify wearing this with a cocktail dress and some court shoes, perhaps with a matching clutch. But other than that, please leave... [More]

Orange Kitty Town Hello Kitty Print Fabric

We're 99% certain that we would have sold our left boob as a kid (especially since its debut was less than impressive) for a blanket made from this Orange Kitty Town Hello Kitty Print Fabric (£21) by Liberty Art Fabrics. Heck, we can think of many places to jazz up... [More]

Kzeniya Sharp Clutch

The iridescence and asymmetry of the Kzeniya Sharp Clutch ($220) feels futuristic. Like that it's kinda sci-fi but pretty simple. It'd be a nice sleek addition to something more daring. Daring like, a Heidi-Klum-short mini dress.... [More]

Biscoff Spread

Like a creamy, spreadable gingersnap, Biscoff Spread ($13 for 2 jars) was serendipitously dreamed up during an invention competition by a lady in Belgium for our fatness pleasure. Now you know where to send the love/hate mail. Spread it on fruit, croissants, or directly on your tongue. We won't judge.... [More]

Philosophy Snow Angel

We don't live where it snows during the winter but we do live where it gets butt effing freezing. To make up for the lack of frozen precipitation we'll be using Philosophy Snow Angel ($16) to simulate that freshly fallen snow scent. Except this way we don't need to pack... [More]

Personal Shopper: Caitlin's Wedding Guest Outfit

Caitlin writes: ... the longest, most detailed Personal Shopper request we've ever seen. Basically, Caitlin needs an outfit for a wedding in California, and she needs a suit for her boyfriend. She's been working out like a boss and she wants to show off that hot bod of hers. Caitlin,... [More]

Bio Supplements High Gloss System

Can't quite bring yourself to go the no-'poo route, but have been left with greasy, dull hair when you've tried other so-called "natural" hair care products? Us, too. Fortunately, we were sent samples of the Brazilian Supplements Inc.'s Bio Supplements High Gloss System ($60 for shampoo, conditioner, & masque), which... [More]

Moselland Cat Bottle Riesling

You were going to buy wine, and you were going to buy Halloween decorations. Why not just buy this Moselland Cat Bottle Riesling ($12) and stick a few flowers in it once you're done imbibing? You can save the extra bucks you would have spent on a glitter covered skeleton... [More]

Cheap Thrill: Zoya Remove Plus

There are a bajillion million (that's an exact number) new nail polishes that we want to get our fingers on. But when we change the shade every evening after work our poor cuticles dry up like a Saharan watering hole in July aka menopause. Zoya Remove Plus ($6) allows us... [More]

Uncommon Goods Construction Plate and Utensils

Giving a whole new meaning to the way your child will play with his food, this Construction Plate and Utensils ($15-$18) could go one of two ways. Perhaps your picky child will enjoy the action of putting food into his mouth with a bulldozer and finally eat something. On the... [More]

Dixie Bits Triple Treat Gift Set

While the delectably sugary fragrances wafting from the Sweet Sugar Darlin' Body Scrub, Rave in Beauty Body Wash, and Whippa Peel Body Lotion in the Dixie Bits Triple Treat Gift Set ($55) may make your mouth water, do NOT try to eat them (or lick your skin afterwards). Don't ask... [More]

The Art of the Cookie Cookbook

Somewhere out there the cookie monster just had a joy-gasm. The Art of the Cookie Cookbook ($20). Bringing happiness to little blue puppets and lucky recipients everywhere.... [More]

Strawberry-Vanilla Sugar

We plan on topping our toast, oatmeal, cookies, and favorite drinks with a heavy-handed dose of Strawberry-Vanilla Sugar ($6). We wouldn't snub our noses at a shortbread cookie with cream cheese glaze and a sprinkling of Strawberry-Vanilla Sugar, either.... [More]

Herban Essentials Orange Towelettes

Kids are hard to please and even harder to settle down when the words "food", "dinner" or "under-aged sexually charged man band" come up. Especially at a restaurant dinner table. It's as if they received training in the womb to be as obnoxious as possible as soon as you enter... [More]

Totally Unsolicited Personal Shopper: High-waisted FUPA-concealing jeans and comfy wedges for MODGBlog

So, not that we stalk her or anything*, but we read that MODG needs FUPA-concealing high waisted jeans and comfy wedge shoes. Being serious MODGBlog fans, and having enough mommies on the Outblush editorial staff who've also had to deal with the post-baby kangaroo pouch, we decided to step in... [More]

Leif Glitter Teaspoon Set

Forget a boring silver spoon, we're going for silver, gold and glittery spoons! The Leif Glitter Teaspoon Set ($34) is made up of six acrylic spoons that have glitter suspended inside of them, so there's no worry of unwanted sparkle in your soup.... [More]

ASOS Pussybow Shirt Dress

Horses! The ASOS Pussybow Shirt Dress ($73), apart from sounding kinda dirty, looks like we took it from a "can't let go of the past" old person's closet. But instead of accessorizing with glasses on a chain and a pair of green polyester pants from 1971, we'll spruce it up... [More]

Beanitos Bean Chips

Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you... scoop? Guacamole, that is. Beanitos Bean Chips ($2 and up) are crispy like a chip, but have a mild bean dip flavor and plenty of the benefits beans offer like high fiber, protein, and no gluten. We think... [More]

Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray

One of our favorite summer looks is sexy, effortless tousled beach hair. We're not willing to give it up now that the evil winds of winter are beginning to chafe our inner thighs. Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray ($35) keeps our hair touchably soft with beachy appeal, which... [More]

Stray Dog Side Table

He's a tramp, but we love him. Breaks a new heart, every day. He's a tramp, he's a good one, and we hope that he can carry this tray... or lamp, or books, or even a cup of tea, or whatever. Stray Dog Side Table ($149)... [More]

Aspire/Acquire: Tweed Mini Skirt

Recently we brought you the Missoni Vivi-Wool Tweed Mini Skirt ($545) and had reader Anna ask us this, "Can I request an Aspire/Acquire on this skirt?? I love the tweed mini with all black look!" Anna, of course! Who's got over 500 bucks to spend on a skirt? Not in... [More]

The Trouble With Poetry: And Other Poems by Billy Collins

Is it just us, or is there a lack of awesome modern poetry in the world? Yes, there is poetry in music, but let's be honest the current trend of rhapsodizing about getting down on the dance floor doesn't move us like a bit of poetry from Robert Frost. Enter... [More]

Mason Jar Flowers Letterpress Card

Even though the Mason Jar Flowers Letterpress Card ($7) is intended to be sent via snail mail as a note, we think a cluster of these framed hand printed cards would look adorable as wall décor on a diminutive scale. Ten points extra for scoring a group of vintage frames... [More]

Humping Dog USB Key

It seems there's no end to the form a USB key can take these days. Actual keys, Star Wars character, rabbit's food, and now Humping Dog ($8). At least your work day just got a little more giggle-worthy.... [More]

Prism Butterfly Kite

Did you know that the second Sunday of October is 'One Sky One World' day? People all over the world fly a kite in celebration. Grab the pretty Prism Butterfly Kite ($25), pack a picnic, and head to your local park or beach for a relaxing afternoon. There's probably nothing... [More]

2012 Old School Letterpress Calendar

Even though the 2012 Old School Letterpress Calendar ($28) is totally not functional as a working calendar (where is the space to write when street sweeping day and dentist appointments are coming?), we totally want this calendar on our wall. Sure, it's only good for letting us know what day... [More]

Personal Shopper: Alabama Girl in 'Right Place, Wrong Weather'

A.G. writes: Hi Outblush! I really do need your help ASAP. I grew up in Alabama my whole life and have just moved to Indiana for graduate school at Notre Dame. I DESPERATELY need an intense cold weather jacket, as its already September and I have nothing! I want something... [More]

Taboo

Aside from being a fun party game, Taboo ($29) can also function as a quasi-educational prep for your next family get-together. Introduce your creepy uncle Vern, your lush cousin Gladys, and your 40 year-old brother who still lives at home without using any rift causing buzz words. Cause there are... [More]

Fleur de Sel Caramel Bars

Theoretically, these Fleur de Sel Caramel Bars ($20) can be set out for you and your guests to slice off little pieces of sweet and salty deliciousness to enjoy. In actuality, we're pretty sure we're just going bite huge chunks off of the bar, kind of how we imagine Paula... [More]

Café Style Tea For One

A little less social (and soft focus) then tea for two, this Café Style Tea For One Set ($32) makes the perfect company for a relaxed tea party. No friends, or relations, to spoil your hour vacation. No awkward conversation, just you, your tea, and a good book.... [More]

RMS Beauty Living Luminizer

We have on good authority that RMS Beauty Living Luminizer ($38) is, in fact, how Edward Cullen maintains his sparkly, fairy (read: ridiculous punk ass wanna-be vampire) appearance in the sun. It isn't vampire blood. It isn't some rare form of gangrene that's been eating him from the inside out... [More]

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Ok, so maybe it's not a Halloween movie, but Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ($5) gets us all revved up for Halloween candy. Plus, there are about 15 thousand costume ideas- Mike Teevee, Violet, aka Blueberry, Oompa Loompas, and of course, the scary arse Mr. Slugworth. Augustus sweetheart, save... [More]

Vonny Magnolia Pie Carrier

The bad news is that this pretty-as-can-be Magnolia Pie Carrier ($64) is on back order until November first. However. we don't really see that as a problem since Thanksgiving is the prime time to be traveling with pies. We know upwards of $60 seems steep for a pie carrier, but... [More]

Back to the Roots Love/Hate Tee

We'd get this Back to the Roots Love/Hate Tee ($22), but we're honest, it should read, "I hate running, I hate running, I hate running, I hate running..." and so on. No matter how many times we grudgingly lace up our trainers, we can't get past the mental block of... [More]

Laura Geller Retractable Baked Powder Brush

Not the kind of gal who maintains the summer tan well into the winter months with goopy self-tanners? Sprinkle just a touch of sunshine with the Laura Geller Retractable Baked Powder Brush ($20). A tracing of powdered bronzer across the bridge of the nose and top of the forehead is... [More]

Cat Mart Wallet

Outblush Operative Jam Blam writes: We all have that friend. Three cats deep and considering yet another. Diligently unaware that his/her apartment is swimming in cat hair and a thick sense of denial. If you're currently starring at multiple sets of kitty eyes, then that friend is you. And that's... [More]

ASOS Dress in Wool Jersey

Oooh, there's so much we could do with a simple, long sleeved wool dress! This wine-colored ASOS Dress in Wool Jersey ($82) is just begging to be topped with a long, camel coat and and accessorized with Burberry. But if you want to go classic black, we could see this... [More]

Marvis Whitening Toothpaste

Put a long lasting Italian in your mouth. Minty and flavorful, Marvis Whitening Toothpaste ($14) has a refreshing mouthfeel that will keep your teeth company all night long. That's what she said.... [More]

Dooney & Bourke Tartan Letter Carrier

It may not be Black Watch, but we like this dark plaid pattern from Dooney & Bourke almost well enough to forgive the summer for being over. Wool bags like this letter carrier ($128) say "it's autumn, and I'm both chic and organized." What?... [More]

Topshop Cream Colour Block Pleated Dress

Just because it's fall doesn't mean we can't wear cheerful, color-saturated clothes! Even on the cloudy, dreary days--nay--especially on the cloudy, dreary days we need a little bit of a pick me up. We're getting less vitamin D, which means we could be in serious danger of getting grumpy. But... [More]

The Pasta Shoppe Halloween Pasta

Send the kiddos off for a full night of trick or treating after carbo-loading them with dinner made from The Pasta Shoppe Halloween Pasta ($6). Add tomato sauce and meatballs and they'll slurp up the cobweb noodles in no time, wriggle into their costumes, and be running around collecting as... [More]

Fresh Seaberry Restorative Cream

Move over cranberries. Seaberries are the next new thing to blow up the beauty industry.

Dueling Stylists: Emily in the Blue Dress Contest

The following is a list of celebrities we would give Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream ($70) to: Kirsten Dunst Rachel Zoe Nick Nolte Marilyn Manson Lindsey Lohan Kaley Cuoco's upper arms... [More]

Need Supply Co. Wave Textured Sweater

The deep caramel color in this Need Supply Co. Wave Textured Sweater ($54) makes us think of all things Fall: crunchy leaves, hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks, and pumpkin pie. And while our first inclination is to go eat something, our second is to buy this and pair it... [More]

Stephan & Co. Mixed Media Bracelets

Add a touch of texture to your outfit with the Stephan & Co. Mixed Media Bracelets ($16). This set of four bracelets has it all: chains, beads, braided fabric, and woven rope. We wore all four together and got plenty of compliments but think some of these could be stand... [More]

Stevie and the Wolf by Johanna Pieterman

Stevie and the Wolf!!! Is there really anything more to say than that? It's like the Three Wolf Moon shirt but with twirling, feathered hair and a lot of scarves. And it's not a shirt. But you get what we're saying, right? Sigh, we should've just left it at Stevie... [More]

Paul Yacomine Micro Colour Collection

Getting a big result at an affordable price is basically the best part of living in a capitalist society. Paul Yacomine Micro Colour Collection ($38) is everything your hair needs to survive winter with style for less than fifty bucks. When used in the 1-2-3 order, you are left with... [More]

All Saints Alcona Jacket

Does paying 650 dollars for a jacket make us badasses? We're thinking not (it makes us look like gullible consumers instead), but that doesn't mean we're not considering it with the All Saints Alcona Jacket ($650). It's straight up sex appeal wrapped in Italian lambskin leather. If we had one,... [More]

Tulle Longing for Snow Gloves

While we can't say we're actually longing for snow yet, we have to admit we've done some longing for these Longing for Snow Gloves ($20) by Tulle. They're not the type of gloves that will keep your hands toasty warm on a sub-zero day, but they will give your late... [More]

Burke Decor Elephant Side Table

We've always wanted to make a grand entrance on an elephant. Unfortunately we're not coordinated enough to be a gymnast in the circus and our wedding venue just didn't have the space for a pachyderm. So, it looks like that dream won't come true. We're living vicariously through our remotes... [More]

Sachajuan Ocean Mist

We would like to enter Sachajuan Ocean Mist ($21) into the running for Jay-Z and Beyonce's baby's name. The whole thing. Sachajuan Ocean Mist Outblush Carter Knowles. We'd love to hear your ideas too. Leave some in the comments.... [More]

Loft Knit Woven Mix Tee

Flush Puppies Flushable Doggie Bags

We have been known to run out of our houses screaming like a banshee at inconsiderate neighbors who think everyone's lawn is a commode for their pooch. Sure, it's inconvenient to carry around a sack of crap (so is stepping in shiz on your way to work), but the argument... [More]

Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads

Sold out on its own website, we were actually able to find a vendor carrying Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Peel Pads ($45). Because that's how we roll/use Google.

Johnathan Beauty Water Shower Purification System
