 If this shaker set could talk it would rap: "Salt, Salt n' Pepa's here, and we're in effect!" from the 80s hit song "Push It." 

The magnetic feet on these guys allow them to hang sideways on the stainless steel stem or firmly on the bottom disk. Leave it to the designers at Alessi to make a playful shaker. 

It's worth it's salt.

And pepper.

Matte Stephens has it down to a fine art.

His whimsical, limited-edition prints are all replicated from original gouache paintings. Their playful nature and muted colors remind us a bit of something that would be hanging on the walls during a Wes Anderson movie like The Royal Tenenbaums

A line with the guarantee in the name? 

As the Brits who crafted it would say: Brilliant! 

This Works has loads of skincare, shower gels, candles, etc.  but we love this Energy Bank Bath and Shower Oil because of the Ylang Ylang they use that comes from Madagascar and the Geranium they source from China. Just two, of more than seven high quality essential oils used for this reviving bath product.

This works.

Double Strap Flat

skirt! Trend ALERT!

"Double strap flats" are the hottest sandal for spring. The "double strap" title comes from the strap over the toe and strap(s) around the ankle (even if sometimes they have three or four straps, go figure). Rock these from musthaveshoes.com with a skirt or your pants rolled up, so that admirers won't miss the full effect.

If you don't pick some up stat, you may be in double trouble this summer.

Shapely Shapewear

This cami has so many features it's like a car!

The Marena Everyday Cami promises to improve power and performance (with constant compression that promotes blood flow), slims you down ("engineered to provide the perfect balance of power and stretch...with unprecedented slimming power and wearing comfort"), enhances skin tone (medical grade compression improves lymphatic drainage, smoothing the skin and reducing cellulite), keeps you cool and dry and (our fave!) kills bacteria.

But we just love that it smoothes the tummy, love handles and back and will make you look skinny minny! Vroom vroom!

Awesome Avindy

Mother-daughter duo, Avril and Cindy Joffe, combine their passion for unique objects with the ability to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind, handcrafted jewelry.

And the rest is stylish history.
