The lovely Mark and James Ritchie Heel comes in our favorite spring color: the pastel green-sage that reminds us of melt-away mints. We debated whether we should teeter our way to the grocery store in these shoes to buy some, but as much as we’re interested to see how we walk in five-inch heels with a one-inch platform, we think maybe we’ll make the mints from scratch. That way, if we stumble, at least it’ll be in private! Available at heels.com for only $240
We have been working out harder than ever in preparation for beach season. We are thrilled with the results and actually feel comfortable enough to hit the shore sans sarong this year. But there’s no shame in a little extra help to keep our body looking fierce once we rinse off the sand. The Lytess Body Shaper hugs in all the right places without adding extra bulk, lifting our ta-tas and sucking in the surrounding areas. So when you see us prancing around the boardwalk with an extra zip to our step, don’t mind us. It’s just the confidence we get from wearing our body shaper. Available at drugstore.com for only $85
Forget floral – the hippie throwback we’re in love with at the moment is fringe. This Gifford Fringe Skirt ($470) takes it to the next level with three gorgeous layers of sway and swish. Do note that the skirt is unlined – you’ll have to buy a slip separately, or risk a public indecency conviction.
Summer is just around the corner, and we’re going for the perfect balance of enjoying the sunshine and protecting our skin. Thanks to this big and beautiful Ralph Lauren Sun Hat , we’ll have a special, stylish, shield from the sun. Since it’s available in several color combinations, we can keep a hat handy for every outfit. Available at nordstrom.com for only $45
Everyone knows that freshly ground coffee is the best. But waking up everybody in the house with the obnoxious screech of an electric coffee grinder is less than awesome. With this Camano Coffee Mill , you’ll be able to grind your java the old-fashioned way: quietly. It’s also probably a great workout for your triceps. Available at shop.oldfaithfulshop.com for only $72
We would have killed for one of these as a kid! We weren’t much into baby dolls, but we loved the dolls our mom made us. We, however, are not nearly patient crafty enough to make a hand-sewn doll for our niece, so we’ll surprise her with a Custom OOAK Fabric Doll . The designer will actually work with you to create one that represents your tastes. You can even choose your doll’s accessories! We think thirty-nine dollars is an incredible deal. Available at etsy.com for only $39
What doubles as a place to rest your feet and also as a giant projectile? A Moroccan Pouf. We plan on keeping this little cushion in our living room to serve as extra seating when friends come over and as ammunition during pillow fights. We pity the fool who tries to steal the remote during ANTM. Available at bedesignsshop.com for only $130
We didn’t exactly plan on getting married this summer, but now that we’ve seen the Oasis Broderie Bandeau Dress we might as well. It’s the perfect June-wedding bridesmaid apparel. We imagine our bridal party arranged around a table, sipping mint juleps out of mason jars, fingering the curls cascading down from their gentle updos. Set off with a rainbow of colored accessories, this dress will look darling on any figure of any size. But most importantly, the bright blue of this dress will make the sparkling white of our imaginary wedding dress really pop! Available at oasis-stores.com for only $95
We know where we’ll be come May. Resting in our Kilauea Queen Hammock . Made to hold up to 330 pounds, this hammock is sturdy enough to hold us, a friend, and a stack of magazines. That should tide us over until fall. Available at bedesignsshop.com for only $160
Owning an iPhone made you a badass back in 2007 when no one else had one. Now, the only way owning an iPhone could possibly make you look like a badass (as opposed to a lemming) is if you put it in a Knuckle Case . It’s made of solid aluminum, and will actually turn your phone into a weapon. It’s perfect for those of you who have enough money for a fancypants phone, but not enough to afford rent in the safe part of town. Available at knucklecase.com for only $99
