Boomerang Thursday: nordstrom headband
Every now and then I am up for a little flair. This is more than a little. Lovely nonetheless. $18.90 at Nordstrom
Stretch band on pants...not cool.
I can't believe these are under 20!
Remember when 'flower power' was a cool term? Let's bring it back. 4.28.2010
Liberty of London for Target® Tiered Ruffle Keyhole Tank - Multi Color Sixty Print
Everything in the Liberty of London collection by Target looks absolutely wonderful. It's that sixties print but it still has sophisticated 2010 all over it.
$19.99 at Target
Solid Knit Button Front Romper
I think this is a romper I could see myself wearing - no flowers, no cutesy, just black and simple.
$18 at Charlotte Russe
Large Raffia Flower Pin
I'm not a pin person but this in a low, sort of beat up braid, or a hot blazer, would be just stunning.
$14.50 at LOFT

oven thermometer
Perfect for when people already bought all the stuff at the price you wanted to spend off the registry and so you need to go down a price step and want to throw in a little something extra.
$11 at Macy's
butter spreader
Hehe, I hope this is an in-joke with the product designers at Crate and Barrel, because does anyone really need this much help spreading butter on their corn? But it gave me a laugh, and I predict hours of fake-infomercial making fun out of this.
$8.95 at Crate and Barrel
slice and store chopping board
This cutting board has a cute little knife built in! What an adorable housewarming gift.
$15 at Neiman Marcus
foam pump
Am I the only one who still thinks of foam soap as magical? And am I also the only one who didn't know you could put regular liquid soap in one of these foamers and make your own magic? Same goes for shampoo or body wash or whatever you wish to foamify.
$13.95 (+$3 flat rate shipping) at Chefs

Boomerang Thursday: forever 21 wallet
"These are a few of my favorite (spring) things"Pretty wallets work for me. Easy to take in a work bag. Easy to throw in a handbag going out the door and easy to stand alone as an accessory.
"These are a few of my favorite (spring) things"Boomerang Thursday: target dress
"These are a few of my favorite (spring) things"Wouldn't it be nice to wear a light cotton dress on a sunny, breezy spring day? I think so.
Boomerang Thursday: anthropologie necklace
"These are a few of my favorite (spring) things"Simply lovely and an eye catcher on a crisp white shirt.
Boomerang Thursday: paper source paper flowers
"These are a few of my favorite (spring) things"I love the idea of creating these paper magnolia flowers and having them last into summer.

This reminds me of one of those vending machine toys. Only this one is actually functional and much cuter.

Women's Ombré-Frame Sunglasses
Big sunglasses don't need to be over twenty bucks and they don't need to be on the noses of Audrey Hepburns either.

Sponsor Feature: Shock Boutique
Happy Monday, readers! Let's start off the week right with some trendy and affordable clothes, hm? If you haven't checked out Shock Boutique yet, 1. you're missing out, and 2. your procrastination has paid off, because we dove in and looked through every single item under 20 bucks on the site and picked out our favorites for you!
First up, a classic with a little oomph added. This black tiered cami ($19.99) paired with jeans is exactly right for spring weather. I love the double straps and the slightly dropped tiers.
The collar and tuxedo detailing are what caught my eye on this red pinstripe button-down ($15.99).
We've actually featured this perfectly cut plaid button-down ($20) before, but I think it's clear to all of us that is plaid is going to stick around for awhile. So those of you who are late adopters, get to it!
Looking to spice up a plain dress or t+skirt combo? Look no further than this navy patchwork cardigan ($19.99)! I like the j.crew vibe at old navy price!
I totally surprised myself by liking this fedora ($18)! Brimmed hats are not my thing at all, but the summery look of this hooked me.
Scarves that are both big and lightweight are my holy grail. I hate the wind on the neck (ridiculously so) so even when it's hot I want to be covered up, but without feeling hot. (Yes, I'm a bit high maintenance...) This peacock one is check, check, and gorgeous ($18). And it's no surprise I adore the circle sunglasses either ($20).
This bandage skirt ($19.99) is only available in L, but I had to post it. Love the style, love the color, love it, love it, love it.
Luckily, all sizes are still available in this printed mini ($16.99). Printed bottoms are tricky, but the muted pattern in blue and gray makes it surprisingly versatile.
Statement of statements - the beaded braided necklace ($15). Awesome.
Continuing with that whole statement theme, I'm loving this stretchy ring with blue stones ($12). You know that whole yearning to grow up to be a princess thing? Capture it in your own very grown up way. Also loving this star ring ($8).
What are you waiting for? Go check out Shock Boutique! There's tons of cute stuff that's just a smidge over 20 bucks, and remember code UNDER20 gets you free shipping!
