Ivanna II Pumps $24.80 from Forever21!

These platform sandals have a heel that will leave you solidly grounded, and the double-knot top detail imbues a strappy artfulness that will look great with textured tights as we transition into fall! But for the sultry here and now, pair these with cropped skinny jeans or a knee-length skirt for a polished daytime look! They're $24.80 from Forever21.

Clinique Smoothie Kisses Set Equals 4 Times The Fruity Color!

While I've been eying (and testing out!) Clinique's Vitamin C Lip Smoothies ever since they were first released last year, I have yet to make the plunge and buy one already. I mean, I love the idea of bright fruity lip color infused with real Vitamin C and antioxidants for added moisture and protectant, but at $17.50 a pop (and too many colors to choose just one), I've been forcing myself to pass it up for now. Well, leave it up to a value set to solve the problem in a flash! As you know, I'm a sucker for a good beauty value set, especially when it gives you quadruple the color choice at almost 50% off!

The Clinique Smoothie Kisses set available at Sephora includes 4 mini Vitamin C Lip Smoothies in a cute floral case for only $25 (a $46 value!). With shades like Nudetritious, Pink Me Up, Goodness Grapecious, and Mango-thon, the selection boasts a great variety of soft but vibrant pinks and deep berries, so there's no need to spend hours in front of the testers at the Clinique counter trying to decide which one to splurge on! Consider me sold!

Straw Clutches For Compact Beachy Style from TheFind!

You may have already fleshed out your collection of cute beach totes for the season, including a bevy of modern straw styles that look especially more chic than what you'd expect from the material. But while you've been busy packing all your beachy must-haves (you know, towel, sunscreen, magazines -- the works) to the brim of your oversized tote, you may have totally overlooked the possibility of fashionable straw styles in more compact packages. Yes, this season's upscale straw comes just as stylish in clutch form -- perfect for more elegant seaside occasions, or even late-night beach parties (just keep them clear of the bonfire)! I'm loving the pattern of this mixed straw clutch from Urban Outfitters, while the gingham-print of this envelope clutch from Topshop is sweet and picnic-ready for a more casual occasion. For something a bit more unique, consider this Felix Rey Jungle Love Clutch -- I bet you never thought you'd find leopard print straw!

Clockwise, from top center: Urban Outfitters Ecote Mixed Straw Clutch, Topshop Check Straw Envelope Clutch, Tory Burch Slouchy Straw Logo Clutch, Felix Rey Jungle Love Basket Clutch, and Cole Haan Halsley Clutch.

Calvin Klein 'Scarlet' Platform Pump $72.90 at Nordstrom!

Every well-dressed gal needs a well-shaped pump to wear with a pencil skirt, suit or jeans. This pair by Calvin Klein has a 3/4" platform sole, so the actual heel height is 3"; I think even I could manage that for a few hours at a time! I would probably go for the classic black patent pair, but I couldn't help but post this picture of the fuschia suede pair for the delight of my more spirited readers! The heel is stable without being stout, and I like the slightly rounded toe, which I find flattering to larger shoe sizes. So enjoy! They're $72.90, regularly $109.95 from Nordstrom. Nordstrom is having their Anniversary Sale until 8/2!
