Yesterday, an article from The Daily Mail commented that Jennifer Aniston and her always covetable hairstyles have made flat irons a must-have product for women around the world. They're 100% right. I let my hair air dry a lot of the time, so my hair dryer doesn't get a ton of use, but I can't imagine life without my flat iron.
If you're in need of a new flat iron (or maybe your first one), make sure to check out Barbar, where the 50% off discount code that I posted about back in January is still good through the end of the month! They've got a bunch of different irons to choose from, using some of the newest technologies like tourmaline and titanium-ionic plates.
Happy shopping!

Turn your old shirt into a laptop sleeve
This is a little bit outside the normal realm of what I cover on the blog, but I saw it this morning on Daily Candy and thought it was pretty awesome.
Hello Rewind is a company who takes your old tshirts (remember that shirt from college that you couldn't stand to throw away?) and turns them into high quality laptop sleeves. For $50, you order the appropriately sized sleeve, then receive a prepaid mailing envelope to send the shirt you want them to use. They "cut out the design and material from your t-shirt, sew it up with batting, felt and velcro, and voila a brand new laptop sleeve!"
As if this wasn't cool enough on its own, Hello Rewind uses part of the proceeds from sales of the laptop sleeves to help women formerly sex trafficked in New York City. It's a great cause, so start browsing your old tshirt collection!

Sale alert: Companies help you save green for St. Patty's Day
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, several beauty and fashion brands are offering great discounts on their products today. So whether you're wearing green and guzzling Guinness today or not, you can still take advantage of this holiday!
Tarte Cosmetics is offering 30% off sitewide, using discount code GREEN17. If you're not sure what to buy, check out my review of their Lock & Roll eye shadow.
Korres has a 20% discount available for their Materia Herba line, using discount code ORGANIC. The cleansing foam, which I reviewed last year, is one of my favorite face washes.
Today through Sunday, Express is offering $30 off of a $75 purchase using discount code 4215 (a printable coupon is available on the web site for in-store purchases). They've got some cute dresses this season, but my all-time favorite Express item is their Editor pants, which I wear to work probably 3 days a week.

The L.L.Bean Signature Collection is here!
A few months ago, I posted about L.L. Bean's new signature line due to launch this spring. Well it's not officially spring yet, but the collection is here! There's some really great stuff in this collection, from shoes to clothes to accessories, all in classic Beans style. Here are a few of my favorites:
This striped cardigan ($89) is a wardrobe staple made more interesting by thin horizontal stripes. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: cardigans are a must for navigating the end of winter/beginning of spring weather.
Classic twill capri pants are extremely versatile for summer -- dress them up for work, or go casual with a tshirt and sandals on the weekend. They come in four colors, priced at $59.
These gorgeous azure blue ballet flats are a great simple style, and look like they have more support than your average flat, with a slight heel and arch support. They're available in four colors, for $79.
These cute skinny leather belts come in eight different colors, and are very reasonably priced at $39.
If you're into L.L.Bean at all, or looking for some classic pieces to update your wardrobe, definitely head over to the web site to check out the full collection. Happy shopping!

Fantasy purchase of the week: Kate Spade
Bright greens have become one of my favorite colors for spring and summer. And since we're getting into that transitional weather, it's getting to be time for lightweight coats (goodbye, wool peacoats!). Kate Spade obviously is in the same place as me right now, because one of their emails this week featured this adorable "fresh green" swing coat that I'm coveting. The buttons, the bow, the gathering, I just love it all. I can picture myself wearing this with a pair of skinny jeans and cute flats -- the perfect coat to get me through the spring!
Currently available on Kate Spade's web site for $425. Or you can be like me and hope that it will go on sale at the end of the season!

Lucky Mag picks of the month: April issue
Okay, I'm back to being prompt with my Lucky Mag picks, I promise. This month, I found that I paid a lot more attention to the ads in the magazine than usual, so a few of the things that caught my eye came from some very attractive advertising.
For example, this striped cardigan was featured in a Lord & Taylor ad. I think it's a perfect piece for transitioning into the spring, and is currently on sale for $49.99
One hundred percent of all proceeds from the Falling Whistles necklace go to help child soldiers in The Republic of Congo. I encourage you to go to the Falling Whistles web site and watch the 2 minute introduction on the story behind these whistles. And while the cause is a good enough reason to buy one of these necklaces (which range from $30-$100 based on the type of metal you choose), they're a really interesting piece as well.
There were two dresses that caught my eye -- one in an ad, and one in the 'Style Spy' section -- that both turned out to be from the upcoming Garden Collection by H&M, which comes out on March 18th. The first is a beautiful floral print dress, and the second is a red strapless dress with rosettes over the whole skirt. The whole collection uses organic cotton, linen and recycled polyester, making it eco-friendly, as well as chic. Prices are extremely reasonable, ranging from $15 for tops to $30-$40 for dresses, and $50 for a jacket.
This adorable mustard color dress is from the Jean Paul Gaultier for Target line (please ignore how they have it styled with a top underneath). The dress would be great for a summer party....or maybe the cruise I'm going on in June!
I wish I had this clutch from Big Buddha on my honeymoon. It's the perfect size for when all you need to stash is your room key, some cash and a camera, which is pretty much all I keep on me when I'm on vacation. And at $55 it's much more affordable than similar versions I've seen from Michael Kors.
And I continue to get more antsy for spring/summer to get here... Happy shopping!

Trade in your jeans at GAP
And if you don't have a pair that you're willing to part with, there's also a sale going on online (through Saturday) for 20% off of all regularly priced women's jeans, using the discount code L1MX1B2X61JD.
Since GAP premiered their new jeans line last year, I've become a fan of their straight leg style. But if that's not for you, they've got a range of styles from wide leg to skinnies.
Happy shopping!
