Move over, Naked Palette – the British are coming! From America’s Next Top Model’s ‘British Invasion’ cycle and the world’s obsession with Downton Abbey to the never-ending influx of on-air talent from acrossthe pond, it was only a matter of time before the Brits got into our makeup stash. POP Beauty’s adorably union-jacked Brit Pop palette (available at Nordies!) contains 12 universally-flattering neutral shades, ranging from softly shimmery to sultry and smokey, and gives Urban Decay’s own natural-hued palette a run for its money. I mean… a mere $10 as opposed to the Naked Palette‘s hefty $50 price tag is a hard bargain to argue with, plus POP’s British-infused packaging is equally slim and portable, but just slightly more adorable (in my humble opinion)! Including both matte andglitter-infused shades, you don’t have to know The Parliamentary Oath in order to pledge your allegiance to these fabulously festive colors!

Although I’m arguably a shopaholic, I’m still a relatively smart shopper, so even when I spot a pair of shoes or a bag that I “must have,” my instinct is to scour the ‘net for where I can find it (or a budget-friendly lookalike) for the cheapest price possible. That said, rarely will an accessory make me fall in love at first sight. The brand-new Viscid Watches from Anthropologie, however, were an exception. I blame it on the fashion bloggers I follow on Instagram – one look at the mint-and-gold face and candy-colored gummy strap, styled with an assortment of coordinating arm candy, and I was sold! Luckily, despite being from the not-so-modestly priced Anthropologie, these Baby G lookalikes are playful, chic and reasonably affordable at $58 a pop. While I’m still drooling over the mint (and even ordered it online although it’s supposedly backordered until July!), the watch comes in an assortment of equally covetable colors, like hot pink, orange, and yellow (which is more of a highlighter-bright lime shade in person)! If you’re as enamored as I am with these luxe takes on the gummy watch, make sure you pick one up before they’re gone for good!

It’s lucky for us not-so-coordinated fashionistas that purposeful mismatching happens to be very cool when it comes to effortlessly chic summer style. However, as many of us learn the hard way, there’s a fine line between stylish mismatching and just looking like you couldn’t find a matching bikini set in your messy closet (which is sometimes the case).Giejo Swimwear’s Summer 2012 collection helps less skilled swimsuit shoppers take the pain out of choosing the perfect contrasting patterns and pieces with a bevy of bikini tops and bottoms in stripes, tribal, and coordinating shades – all meant to mix and match effortlessly without looking like you picked out your suit in the dark! With sexy printed details that help tie the whole look together and a simple yet chic color palette that pops without clashing, you probably could literally could go shopping with your eyes closed and still end up with a covetable contrasting bikini… but we recommend keeping your eyes open while you browse this bikini eye candy, just for the fun of it!

A long, chilly fall and winter season made for great boot weather during the past seven months, but now that we’re fast approaching sandal season, my feet are in need of some serious TLC. If there’s one thing worth actually hating about having a great collection of summer footwear, all ready to see some sun this season, it’s that my feet actually need to be in tip-top shape in order to show them off… and this can be easier said than done after two seasons in hibernation! Sure, salon pedicures are a nice treat once in awhile, but if you’re like me and want to be able to take things into your hands (instead of dropping $20+ each time your feet need a little pampering), it’s about time to invest in a foot scrub! Mistral’s Blue Chamomile Foot Scrub lets you have your own mini pedi in the comfort of your own home, exfoliating rough, dry feet with natural silica, coconut shell powder & pumice. Your feet will be softened and moisturized (and stay that way until you’re ready for another self-treatment!) with natural ingredients like organic chamomile, thyme, shea butter and jojoba oil. If you can’t wait to slip your feet into those strappy sandals, waste no time and slough away!

As much as I know that sleeping in my makeup is just about the worst possible thing I could do to my skin, laziness gets the better of me more often than it should, and I find myself willingly committing the cardinal beauty sin. Being more firm with myself for the sake of my skin’s future shouldn’t be an unrealistic goal to set for myself, but if you’re like me and can admit that you sometimes doze off before completing your nighttime skincare regime, plan ahead and equip your nightstand with a handy set of Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes. These hypoallergenic facial wipes gently remove dirt, sweat, and even the most stubborn of makeup, and are a fuss-free, refreshing way to clean up while you’re on the go, at the gym, or in bed and too lazy to get up. Infused with green superfoods and detoxifying properties, these towelettes will have you you feeling fresh, clean, rejuvenated, and less guilty about skipping out on a formal face-washing!

While maxi dresses may always have a special place in summer trends as a go-to for instant, comfortable warm-weather glamour, it’s become pretty clear that maxi skirts have taken their place as the trendiest way to keep cool this upcoming season. Flowing fabric, long lengths, and the importance to be extra mindful of proportions make maxi skirts a not-so-easy trend to pull off, but for those who succeed, the look is romantic but still breezy with a boho-inspired feel, and undeniably comfortable. Sultry sheer panels and fun florals make these ultra-long skirts pretty, edgy, and summer-festive (especially when cinched with a wide belt), and fanciful pleats give them that extra movement so you don’t look or feel like you’re wearing a sheet. Paired with the right sleek blouse or colorful tank (or even a fitted blazer for those chillier nights out) and you’ve got yourself a bevy of day or not options for a look that’s laidback-luxe.

While your classic black envelope clutch may never go out of style, the warmer months ahead provide the perfect opportunity to amp up your handbag style and have a little fun with colors, patterns, and textures. Think of beaded tribal clutches as the upcoming season’s answer to metallic and sequined bags. Instead of relying on bling, these beaded bags provide an earthy alternative that manage to be glamorous and statement-making without coming off stuffy or overdressed. Pair these beauties with a gorgeous flowing maxidress, your favorite silky sundress, or any of your new spring party ensembles to take you through the hot summer nights out! If you can’t get enough color, this Aztec Beaded Clutch from Nasty Gal and its similar Forever 21 counterpart will certainly turn heads, while this multi-beaded clutch by Ricky Designs plays with different textures and shine. For a more muted take on the trend, this SANTI convertible cross-body/clutch is perfect for jazzing up your trusty little black dress. Looking for a real conversation starter? Check out this Matthew Williamson beaded suede clutch, with pom pom embellishments for extra pizazz!

While traditionally reserved for cozy winter trends, ugly Christmas sweater parties, and general bundle-up weather, knitwear isn’t only for guarding yourself against the bitter cold. In fact, a knit sweater skirt can serve as an integral part of your tricky between-seasons style transition. It can be tough looking chic during the awkward winter-to-spring transition when it’s a bit too warm to rely on your cold-weather digs, but not quite warm enough to break out the Spring break wear, but a sweater skirt has you covered when it comes to further customizing your look to suit the unpredictable weather at hand. For example, this Tommy Hilfiger cable knit sweater skirt is nice and cozy when paired with tights and a crisp tailored top, but can be warmed up for spring with the right lightweight silky blouse and espadrille wedges. The same can be said for this J. Crew sweater pencil skirt – it’s the perfect mix of warm but breathable, and its stretchy knit allows for maximum curve-hugging appeal. And don’t forget to jump on spring’s midi skirt trend – this Marc by Marc Jacobs Jacosta sweater skirt allows you to get a head start on the look by rocking the trend now while it’s still chilly out!

As much as I love having an excuse to wear my adorable rain boots – especially when they truly come in handy on the rainiest fall and winter days in San Francisco – rubber boots aren’t the most comfortable shoes I own. As cute and convenient as they are when it comes to keeping my feet dry, I usually have to layer on about 3 pairs of my warmest socks to keep my feet from feeling stiff and frozen. Honestly, who wants numb, frost-bitten feet on a cold, wet day? Not me! Thankfully, the season’s latest releases in rainy-weather gear have got us covered with shearling-lined rain boots – after all, everything else in the fashion world is getting the fuzzy treatment, so why not where we need it most? From classic rubber booties with a little extra warmth to cool, equestrian-chic lace-up pairs… and let’s not forget luxe, furry fold-over boots that will easily update your look. You’ll want to wear them rain or shine! No matter what your style, you’ll love these new and improved cozy takes on galoshes!
