Lux Sharie Dress

I really like the shape of this knee-length knit dress. It has a cute V-neck, cap sleeves, and a flattering belt that ties around the waist. And I think it would transition well for fall by pairing it with some cute tights and a cardigan.

$58.00, Urban Outfitters

SmallThings Flora Vs. Fauna Necklace

Designer Teresa Robinson of Portland, Oregon, makes these by hand out of sterling silver and translucent glass. Besides the bee (seen here), you can also get one with a ginkgo leaf, a cherry tree branch, or a flowering plant motif. Each pendant hangs on a 16-inch chain.

$80.00 each, Greener Grass Design

Embroidered Dress

This knee-length cotton halter dress is light and summery. I love the delicate red embroidery along the hem. It would even look cute with a little cardigan when it gets chilly in the evening (or when it gets chilly in the movie theater).

$24.80, Forever 21

24K Sexy Gold Lipstick

This lipstick from Benefit Cosmetics has the word sexy right in the name. And you can't get much more glam than a soft shimmery gold lipstick. This would look especially nice on tan summer skin.

$20.00, Sephora

Gerbera Designs Shoulder Bag

This canvas bag is really nifty. The fabric at the top is black, and for the fabric on the bottom, you can choose from about 40 different pretty patterns, including some wacky designs like "dia de los muertos" (which features some well-dressed skeletons) and "too many puppies" (which features...too many puppies).

$52.00, Gerbera Designs

Mini Punch Lantern

Open the door of this cute latern, slide in a little candle, dim the lights, and it casts cool shadows around the room. The whole thing is about eight inches tall and also comes in white.

$12.00, Urban Outfitters

Beaded Hoop Earrings

These dangly hoop earrings have sort of an Indian look to them, which I like. The hoops are fairly big, a little more than two inches in diameter (which I also like). You can also buy them with dark purple beads or black beads.

$4.80, Forever 21

Double Happiness Teapot

Despite the name, this has nothing to do with Chinese weddings that I can ascertain. But this little porcelain teapot, which is only a little more than six inches tall, is such a great color, and I like the decorative shape of the handles. It would look nice on display in your kitchen, and it's even safe to use in the microwave.

$24.00, Anthropologie

Bird in Mod Garden Print on Canvas

I'm really into these prints on canvas by New Jersey artist Nancy Veltri. I'm currently grappling with my desire to buy everything in her Etsy shop. This large green print is about a foot across and 26 inches tall. The smaller white print, Spring Morning, is $35.00. (via Ooh! Shiny!)

$47.00, Etsy

Not Rated Suit It Up Argyle Heels

I heart these shoes. I've never looked at an argyle sweater and thought, Hey, that would totally look cute as a pair of shoes, but it actually works. These are adorable. They have a stacked heel that's almost three inches tall.

$45.95, Zappos

Walking Siren Handbag

Hooray for shiny yellow handbags! I like the shape of this faux patent leather number. It's fairly big, about 20 inches across, so you can fit a lot in there. The bag is lined in white satin.

$60.00, Rimistyle

Paris Wheel Skimmer

This shiny shoe is pretty rad. It's basically a crinkly metallic leather sneaker. It would look great with jeans. You can also buy it in silver or metallic brown.

$59.00, Kenneth Cole Reaction

White Ant Napkin Rings

I'm not the type to use napkins that you actually have to wash (unless I'm sure that I won't have to be doing any of the washing), but these napkin rings are too adorable. Maybe I could use them with some brightly colored paper napkins. I've also seen these napkin rings at Target for the same price.

$24.00 for four, Bunny Maxwell

Oleander Centerpiece Bowl

With hundreds of little delicate leaves fashioned out of iron, this bowl almost looks alive. And at more than two feet in diameter, it’s quite dramatic, even with nothing in it.

$149.00, Crate & Barrel

PB Classic Glass Apothecary Jars

If you need a place to stash your Q-tips and cotton balls or just a fancy place to put decorative items and guest soaps, try these apothecary jars. I especially like the giant one, which is 27 inches tall.

$39.00, $49.00, and $69.00, depending on the size, Pottery Barn
