Nicole Richie for Macy's — my favorites:

Long gone are the days of greasy hair and booty-skimming skirts on The Simple Life (I LOVED that show.) Nicole Richie's style has evolved so effortlessly over the years it's hard to believe she wasn't a boho-chic goddess all along. 

A little school lesson: Nicole has had two lines in the fashion industry for some time now, House of Harlow (the "OMG I WANT EVERYTHING" jewelry line), and Winter Kate, a clothing line named after her daughter's two middle names -- collective "aww."

Thankfully she decided to design a line we can all afford. Her designer collection for Macy's hits stores in early September with prints, velvet, and leather trimmings galore. GIMME GIMME. These are just a few of my favs, but you can view the rest of the collection here. 

The sexiest (in the good way) shirt-dress I ever did see.

Oh baby. Did I mention it's under $60?

Old-school Olympic tees, for under $30

How cool are these retro Olympic T-shirts? It looks like you won the lottery big time during a thrifting outing, but allz you gotta do is hit up your local Gap. See the selection here. 

P.S. How FREAKING excited are you for the Olympics???

YES, polka-dot skivvies

I'm totally the kind of person who has a better day if I have cute underwear on, and these polka-dot undies from Madewell would have me grinning ear-to-ear allllll day.

THESE NEED TO BE UN-"SOLD OUT" RIGHT NOW

I'm a tish obsessed with anything Astrology; probably because (for the most part) I'm a total to-the-T Cancer. I love collecting out-of-the-ordinary Astrology knick-knacks. Which is WHY I'm so upset these Wildfox Tees are out of stock! Each sign's shirt has a little tongue-in-cheek insight to one of the sign's main traits. Hello, Wildfox, if you're out there, please re-stock these. 

I Think I Found Thee Best iPhone Case Website Ever.

I have a new favorite iPhone case store. Maybe a TISH spendy at $35 a pop but you GUYS. There are literally 100's of GIMME-THAT-ONE-NOW's. If you're in the market for a new cover, society6 is your spot. Yuh'welcome. (Gentleman this site is awesome for you too.)

Drawn...

...to these gold skull head studs. I wouldn't normally consider them "my style", but it's kinda "goth chic", no? Oh, PS, check out the rest of Michelle Chang's jewelry on her Etsy site; it's pretty bomb. 

I Want a Grown Up Desk (All Because of Jenna Lyons' Office)

I never get tired of seeing pictures of Jenna Lyons in her element. The woman is pure fashion inspiration in the most respectable sense. My love for her carries from her closet to the space where she makes all the magic happen. "[Her office] is a scrapbook in three dimensions: skirts, Sharpies, drawings, Lucian Freud and Egon Schiele books, a Céline bag, a sweating Starbucks iced coffee, and an entire wall of magazine cutouts and notes from the artist Tom Sachs." - NY Mag

This is her desk. And it may or may not retail for $1,099 from Blu Dot. Damn. One day. 

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM HI

Halston has had some major company drama this last year. The 70's brand made a major comeback after Sarah Jessica Parker became President and Chief Creative Officer, but in the last couple months Parker, CEO Bonnie Takhar, and other major Halston investor Harvey Weinstein have all left the company without really a word as to why. Rut-roh. 

So while we don't know why the brand took such a sudden turn for the worse, there is one thing clear: they sure do make one hell of a clutch. 

Please Can I Have It??

A nice little reminder to "do work." From Uncommon. 

These adorable bow-heeled ballet flats are from J.Crew's little people line Crewcuts, but I want them anyway. 

Oh, hello down there. Hidden fox teacup. 

Would this not make you feel like the most happily organized person of all time? Year Calendar Wall Decal.

Getting it. Done with. Over. The end. Ampersand tote. 

Oh You Fancy, Huh?

Hi I want to be you. Actually I just want your sunglasses but I kind of have a $250 problem with them. 

Wanting You

I would coordinate the colors of my kitchen solely for the use of this mug. I would also pretend I drink tea. 

K this Camper Bike makes me laugh out loud but I swear I would actually put it to use. 

These personalized wine bottles are such a perfect 21st birthday gift. 

So cool. Chinese Zodiac Rings. 

4 Things I Found Today

• Guuuuuys (literally, guys), now you can get in on the DIY fun too. Man Made DIY is an entire website dedicated to "creativity and and the handmade life for the postmodern male". 

• Sad. "Too Hard To Keep" is a blog where people can upload photographs that are too difficult to keep in their lives. Beautiful, eerie and heartbreaking all in one. 

• Want. These milk bottle measuring cups from Anthropologie. 

• I'm so effing happy after watching this video. You know those things that are SO CUTE you almost just want to smother them to death? This is one of them. Oh. You don't know what that feels like? Yeah, yeah me neither...that'd be so weird..

Gasp.

I covet this dress from Katie Ermilio with a flaming passion. I want to twirl in it. I like twirling.
