Pep in her step.

How cute does Jennifer Garner look here, out in L.A.? I particularly love her effortless ability to put together a super-chic outfit. A faded denim shirt has never looked so good.

So now I’m on a hunt to find equally stylish and affordable pieces to wear something similar here on the east coast. I’ve narrowed it down to these:

{American Eagle Chambray Western Shirt, $44.50}

{American Eagle Chambray Western Shirt, $44.50}

{Forever 21 Squared Away Skirt, $13.80}

{Forever 21 Squared Away Skirt, $13.80}

{Hue Opaque Tights. $3.75}

{Hue Opaque Tights. $3.75}

And there you have it. A complete outfit, for less than $75.00!

Daily Diamond: UNITE Eurotherapy 7Seconds Condition

If I were to ever land on an island, deserted and alone, but miraculously with my vanity case in tow, I can only hope my UNITE Eurotherapy 7Seconds Condition also landed safely. From a product standpoint, this lightweight spray really delivers on its promises to detangle, soften, and protect my hair from my self-inflicted abuse (all very essential when you’re abandoned on a sunny island). From a scent standpoint, it makes me want to bury my nose in my hair all day long. It vaguely smells like Herbal Essence’s original scent, but much more sophisticated and yummy in an “of course I don’t use fragrance in my hair; that’s just my natural aroma” kind of way.

Affordability and glamour.

When a designer sets out to create a collection of jewelry that looks like a million bucks, but costs you much, much less, I’m instantly drawn to it. I’ve never believed that you have to spend a fortune to look put-together, which is exactly why I’m head over heels in love with Melinda Maria’s pieces. Her line of rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings are all priced way under $500, with only a few select pieces going above the $300 mark. I played favorites on her website this morning and set aside a few items below.

{Pod Pave Ring, $85.00}
