On Le Prowl.

I write these 10 Pick posts quite a bit, but I gotta say, this one is extra juicy.  Lots of affordable finds / ways to get Le Look for less and some unexpected treats for your office.  YAHOO.

Pick No. 1: The Tee Dress

How cool does this chickadee look in her aviators and t-dress ($59)?  Love the idea of swapping this t-shirt dress situation into the rotation instead of my go-to lounge-at-home outfit (the softest lounge pants on earth and my favorite t-shirt)?

Pick No. 2: The Tie-Front Jumpsuit

I am loving this citrus-colored tie-front jumpsuit ($110), especially paired with a splashy statement heel like these Rochas flowerbud stunners ($660)?

P.S. — If yellow isn’t your color, this linen-y-looking jumpsuit in fire engine orange-y-red looks super comfortable and on-trend.

Pick No. 3: The Yellow Romper

And speaking of citrus, I am LOVING the chic eyelet romper ($128) worn by the little lady on the right below — it looks very Miguelina, a label I am constantly stalking for sales.  (In fact, I’ve been eyeing this eyelet skirt of theirs, which just dropped to a $144 sale price, and this lace-y cover-up dress, on sale for $225.  But the big question is: can I justify a splurge on this stunner, which, while on sale, is still pretty spendy?   And P.S. — if you’re into the daisy dress the chic pea on the left is wearing, it’s here, and it’s $158.)

But back to the $128 romper above: it looks strikingly similar to the two-piece set below by Miguelina ($350 for top, $295 for skirt), a look that blends right into my Giovanna Battaglia vacation lookbook (#swoon).

Pick No. 4: The Eyeliner

I read a rave and compelling review of Charlotte Tilbury’s Rock N Kohl eyeliner ($27) — apparently it glides on like liquid but stays put like pencil? — and had to add it to my recent beauty refresh shopping list.  I’m ordering it in “Bedroom Black,” but am curious/intrigued by the “Eye Cheat” color, described as “a nude tone for wider, fuller, more awake eyes.”

Pick No. 5: The New Pen

While on the topic of pencils/implements, I have been a lover of Le Pens for.ev.er.  Perfect for those of us with precise, minuscule hand-writing (a few people have described my hand-writing as “a font” — OCD much?!)  I recently heard that the brand Muji makes an excellent super-fine-point pen ($10 for pack of 9 pens) and may just need to give them a whirl.

Pick No. 6: The Notebook

Speaking of office supplies — I always take notes for work (and for Magpie, too!) in one of these Leuchtterm 1917 squared, hard-covered notebooks ($20).  Super high-quality paper and I LOVE writing on “graph paper” / squared or gridded pages.  Perfect for my OCD, and convenient for sketches and the like.  Like a child, I have decorated mine in the past with stickers — a stickered logo for my company; emoji stickers; and, most recently, have ordered these embroidered sticker letters by Fallon + Royce, on ridic sale for under $3 apiece…sorta dead ringer for Anya Hindmarch’s famous leather stickers, which cost $55 a pop!)

Pick No. 7: The One-Piece

I mentioned this on Insta recently — I’m wearing this Solid + Striped one-piece in the prettiest seafoam green ($168), but I’m a new convert to the one-piece swimsuit.  I just discovered the swimwear line Karla Colletto and am DYING over her suits — especially this one with its darling floral bows ($235).  (Reese Witherspoon wears her pieces, too!).  I also loveeeee this pink one ($306), but feel the asymmetrical style will go out of vogue too quickly to justify the cost, whereas some of the more classic styles are TRUE investment pieces — I’ll wear them now and when I’m 80!  That being said, Net-A-Porter has this ADORABLE style marked way down to $143…

You can get the look for less with one of these bow-shouldered J. Crew suits — I especially love this postcard print one!

Pick No. 8: The Red Mini

Remember how I was drooling over the red mini that one of these street style starlets was wearing ?  Well, I found a damn good lookalike for a fraction of the price — $80!!!

Pick No. 9: The Floral Top

Remember when I died over Tory Burch’s Garden Party collection?  Well, this adorable top of hers has gone on sale for $279, plus an additional 30% off!  Also available in ever-chic white for $209, plus 30% off.  While you’re there, check out the whole sale, which is PRETTY EPIC.  The East Coast prep in me loves this sailboat dress, and this bold-print maxi skirt stopped me in my tracks.

Pick No. 10: The Maternity Dress

Pregnant mamas rejoice!  How ADORABLE is this tie-shouldered maternity dress ($49)??  Also available in a cute top ($29) version.
