Spikes are so 80s punk. Fast forward twenty years and now they are chic. For only $14.99 these bracelets would update a buttoned up suit and make it modern and fresh. I love the pink gold one, which color is your favorite? Tell us in the comments.

Steals: Black & White 1920’s & 1960’s Era Dresses
Check out these great deals on black and white 20s and 60s dresses. Downtown Abbey inspired me to look for a modern take on drop-waist dresses. Drop-waist dresses are not for everyone, they are for women that are very thin. Because of this, I’ve traveled forward to the sixties to provide a couple of mod dresses that flatter all shapes and sizes.
Though I wish I could wear the white drop-waist dress, I have to say I prefer the mod houndstooth dress. Do you think 20s dresses are unflattering? Let us know in the comments.

Fur Tote Handbags: High-End vs Stylish Bargain
- These fur totes are a bit “out there” but they are also pretty unique and really fun. Don’t be afraid to look in the children’s department. One of the stylish bargains in this post is currently listed in the JCrew Crewcuts Girl’s section! While you don’t need to duck your head into a Gymboree, you can check out accessories designed for girls at higher-end designers. JCrew is by no means high end, but their children’s accessories are often stylish, affordable and cute.
- Just look at Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis, stylish beyond her years.

Orange ASOS Gold Metal Bow Body Bag
More Bows
As you can see on our Kate Spade Gold Bow Bracelet post we love bows! This bright orange cross body bag is chic and affordable. This spring the “in” colors include orange and coral. We think this bag is fun, modern yet the chain give it a bit of sophistication. It looks like you can probably tuck the chain in and convert it into a wristlet you can use when you paint the town red with your friends. Pair it with a leather bow cuff.
