Sephora The Lash Stash ($35)

Are you always on the hunt for the perfect mascara? I know I am. The worst part of the hunt is when you open a new brand of mascara with optimism and it disappoints, even on the first application. Then you have to keep using it for the next few months so it doesn't go to waste. I also find that mascara starts to dry out after a couple weeks, which means clumping, so I end up throwing them out and starting over again after about 2 months. So check out what Sephora just came up with that solves both of my mascara issues - The Lash Stash is a limited-edition kit of 10 of Sephora's most popular mascaras, all in mini size. At $35, this averages out to $3.50 per tube. Even though the tubes are small, I figure I'll get at least a couple months of use out of each, which is the same as I get out of a regular tube. Maybe I'll even find one in this stash that doesn't dry out so quickly!

Fraise Oiseau Necklace ($22)

Here's another one from etsy.com, my go-to site for things that are unique and inexpensive, and often handmade. Also, these days, I really like the idea of helping out an artist who might be trying to make a living through their art. This Fraise Oiseau Necklace (quick French lesson: "fraise" means strawberry and "oiseau" means swallow, like the bird) is made with vintage beads and brass. The seller will make the necklace any length for you, which is a nice touch.

Target Go International Crisscross Dress ($9.99)

Target is having a huge clearance on summer clothing. There are shirts for under $5, dresses for under $10 and jackets around the same. Lots of cute options, but this Go International Crisscross Dress stands out to me because, well, it doesn't look like you bought it from Target!

About Attitude Cassady Faux Leather Bag ($55)

Do you need a new bag for fall? Or maybe just want one? Here's one that won't set you back too many dollars - it's the Cassady faux leather bag from About Attitude. Gold is a neutral and goes with everything, and it has lots of extra pockets.

Forever 21 Antique Cat Necklace ($2.99)

Ok so you probably know by now that I love cats. I have 3 of them. But, I draw a very distinct line before "crazy cat lady" by not surrounding myself with any cat paraphernalia. You know what I'm talking about...the cat shower curtains, cat pot holders, and cat sweaters, etc. Still, I find this Antique Cat Necklace from Forever 21 irresistible, I think because even a person not obsessed with cats might wear it. Whereas if you aren't obsessed with cats, you don't have them all over your shower curtain. Get the distinction? Because it's very important to me that you don't think I'm a crazy cat lady, just because I want to wear one around my neck all day. Right??
