Too Faced Mood Swings

Oh, how I loved mood rings when I was a little girl! I was amazed at this magical jewelry's ability to change colors according to how I was feeling (it never seemed to change from blue, but I didn't question it). Plus there were different shapes to choose from, so I could wear a star one day and an oval the next. They were the perfect mix of fashion and fun. This could be the reason why I am so intrigued by this Too Faced Mood Swing Emotionally Activated Lip Gloss.

Part of an new, limited edition Smurf collection available exclusively at Sephora, this body heat activated gloss magically changes from Smurf-blue Shimmer to countless shades of Smurfberry pink. The perfect mix of beauty and fun!

Head to Sephora.com for to see the entire limited edition Too Faced Smurf collection.

Can't Afford Cavalli?

If you can't afford that gorgeous, frothy, animal-print-with-a-slit-up-to-there Roberto Cavalli gown have no fear because a) neither can I, so you're in good company, and b) you might be able to afford the annual fee and interest rate on a MasterCard designed by the fashion legend.

The "Cavalli Card" will feature the designer's signature snake print with iridescent colors (just like his yacht, reports WWD). The card will be available starting March 1, when you'll be able to fill out an application at RobertoCavalliCard.com or in one of the boutiques.

Happy Shopping!

What I Want: Wooden Accessories

From buttons to bangles, I'm feeling all things wooden for this season and beyond!



A gorgeous clutch from Newport News that works for both day and night.





I'm a huge fan of clogs and a wooden heel and sole makes them even more appealing.






This the perfect piece for any season -- layer it in the winter, then wear it with shorts in the summer!





Don't wait until spring or summer to wear these safari-inspired bangles -- they'll look amazing with winter greys and blacks.



It's a major splurge but this leather and wood from shopbop.com is so worth it!

Cup of Joy

One of my New Year's resolutions is to make every experience more enjoyable, even the smallest thing, like drinking my morning coffee. Instead of keeping my latte in the paper cup offered at Starbucks or Coffee Bean, I plan to transfer my morning fix to a proper mug. Something so simple will make that first fifteen minutes at the office so much more indulgent.


I'm recently engaged but a little more bling never hurt anyone, right?




These mugs are so chic they'll make the watered-down coffee at the office taste a wee bit better.




Colorful graphic prints are a great pick-me-up for those mornings when waking up is hard to do.



What are your New Year's resolutions? Tell me about them in the comments.

Shop the Sale at Lulu's

The holiday season may be over, but as far as most retailers are concerned, the shopping season won't be finished until they've cleared out their winter selections to make room for spring's hottest styles, which means deep discounts on cute cold weather essentials. One of the best sales I've found is at Lulus.com -- they've got everything from booties to bags on sale now! Here are a few Style Goodies faves:



Wowza that's a sexy boot!







This sweater is essential for layering in the cold months, but short sleeves make it work for spring too.






This ruffled bag takes girly to another level -- love it!

The color is so elegant and ladylike, but it's the bow that gets all the attention!

MM Couture Bernice Sweater Dress, $71.50 (orig. $95)




These shoes were affordable even before the sale! Perfect with trouser socks and jeans.







I'm wild about the printed winter coats from Soïa & Kyo! This one is equally adorable but much more affordable.
