5 Springtime Flats Under $50

Right now I'm craving anything quick and easy -- from pre-packaged salad to wash 'n' wear hair. Nothing could be quicker, easier, or more stylish than adorable, affordable flats.

Such a fresh color for the season, this flat pairs well with all of spring's essential styles for work and play.

Ecote Woven Peeptoe $38

The little girl in me loves these shoes for the bright, candy-like colors; the recessionista in me adores the price!

Steve Madden 'Carry Me' $29.99

These shoes have an appealingly preppy look that works well for the office or running around on the weekend.

American Eagle Coco Ruffle Moc, $24.99

I love a shoe that looks sweet but isn't too precious. This flat smartens up denim and knit sundresses.

BC Footwear 'Babycakes' $39.99

Metallic patchwork is surprisingly versatile. These will be cute with spring's safari-inspired looks. Steve Madden 'Kobraa' $49.99

Valentine's Day Gift Guide

Valentine's Day is this weekend, so Style Goodies is hooking you up with a tried-and-true gift guide -- just leave this page up on your computer and your honey will get the hint!

Lingerie

Lingerie should not be reserved for {ahem} quality time with your mate. Start thinking of it as an essential style item -- the thing that touches your skin all day and makes you feel totally irresistible, even if you're the only one who knows you're wearing it!

Perfume

Sweet, fruity, floral, or spicy -- perfume is pretty much a no brainer when it comes to Valentine's Day gifts. Two great ideas: Love by Harajuku Lovers($30-45) -- it's fruity with a soft vanilla finish, and the name is so apropos; and Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker ($36-68) -- make it a girl's night and share this one with all your best girlfriends!

Candy

Instead of the garden variety box of chocolates from the drugstore indulge in something a little more exotic this V-Day. Try champagne-infused white or dark chocolate or spice things up with some Ancho chili or Ceylon cinnamon flavored truffles. Vosges Haute Chocolat offers these luxurious indulgences and more!

I Heart Ronson at JCPenney

If you haven't been to a JCPenney lately, now's the time to head to the mall, because you don't want to miss out on the seriously cool collection designed by Charlotte Ronson. Available in stores or online at JCPenney.com, the I Heart Ronson™ collection is exclusive to Penney's and comes just in time for spring, with recession-friendly price points you'll love almost as much as the clothes themselves.

Of course, I Heart Ronson™ is just as girly and fun as the designer's eponymous line (which we so adore), especially the vintage-looking denim trouser which retails for $36, or the perfect-for-the-season Spring Dress which goes for $58. Shop now at JCPenney.com!

What I Want: Flirty Dresses from Shoshanna

Seinfeld's ex-GF has certainly made a name for herself in the fashion biz--her eponymous line is clever and youthful with splashes of vintage charm mixed in. Most noted for the teeny bikinis she designs, this season Shoshanna is on my radar for the flirty, summer-perfect dresses she's churning out. These colorful little frocks are the reason sandals were invented!
