Aqua Black Boyfriend Jacket with Striped Lining

Aqua is great because the line - available exclusively at Bloomingdale's - is filled with on-trend items at a fraction of the price. I'm loving this boyfriend blazer, which is tailored in a flattering open silhouette and finished with a preppy striped lining.

Striped Crochet Trimmed Romper

The jumpsuit is one of the season's biggest trends. And this sweet little romper, with its slouchy silhouette and crocheted straps, is my favorite take on the trend yet. And when paired with my Aqua blazer, it even becomes work appropriate!

Clara Clutch Wallet, Blueberry Colorblock

Now, this is definitely a bit more than I normally like to spend on a clutch. But it's so versatile, not to mention gorgeous, that I'll be carrying it far past this season! The gleamy gold lock detail looks so glam set against dark blue colorblocked leather. I simply can't live without it.

bo'em Jane Feather Flat Sandals

Feathers, fringe and snaps, oh my! I've been steadily increasing my gladiator sandal wardrobe for the past couple of years, and I need to add this pair to my arsenal. I can't wait to rock them with a racerback tank and dark skinny jeans.

Converse All Star® Core OX

Every year, I buy a couple of new pairs of Converse sneakers. And this year I've decided to embrace my super girly side with a pair of kicks in bright pink. They'll look great with everything from skinny jeans to flirty skirts. I'm embracing my tweeny side!

Kayla Handbag

A bag that's somehow perfect for work and perfect for cocktails for under $40? Who knew it could be done? But this luxe leather bag sure does look pretty no matter what.

Belabumbum Olivia Chemise

The perfect slip to wear around the house on weekends when I want to feel a bit more like Carrie Bradshaw? Well, wouldn't you agree that this is it? The lace trim is oh so delicate and somehow sexy in the most demure way.

Cabochon Cube Ring

I love cocktail rings, but I don't want to spend a ton on something I'll only wear once in awhile. But I do want it to look like I spent a small fortune! That's why this stunner from Banana Republic is so perfect. The multicolored cabochons make it look uber expensive - no one has to know it was under $50.

Antique Beaded Necklace

A statement necklace adds punch to any outfit, even basic tees and jeans. And at this price, there's absolutely no way I can't snatch this one up. Filigree detail lends this one a vintagey flair.

Mix and Match Tiered Maxi Dress

Every spring, I go on the hunt for a few good maxi dresses that can take me through the hottest days of the year without breaking a sweat. And this sweet little number has made it onto my list of must-haves for the year. I love the different patterns that are sewn together in flowing tiers -- it has a frontier-like quality but still feels fresh and new. And it's super flattering to boot!
