It's the superhero duo you didn't know you needed!

A Ninja Crispi Air Fryer system that'll have you feeling like you've just become an American Ninja Kitchen Warrior. Throw your go-to lazy day meal of nuggets and fries into the glass container, attach it to the air fryer, then enjoy the fruits of your labor straight out of the same container. A Dash mini maker, perfect if you live solo and don't have to make egg sandwiches for an entire household of hungry humans.

Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that'll shockingly cost you less than a Grande iced latte at Starbucks (wowza!).

Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume for anyone who tried the sample size of YSL's Black Opium and fell in love with it but simply doesn't have $95 to spend on smelling lovely.

Tarte Big Stick Energy duo, made up of the new Shape Tape blur concealer stick and brush, will replace any other coverage product you've got on your bathroom vanity. It's creamy, buildable, and won't settle or get cake-y under your eyes. It's a 10/10, new must-have item for your makeup bag. OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish to keep at your desk for an impromptu manicure during a video meeting, which definitely could've been an email (sigh). It comes in so many lovely shades you'll easily be able to pick your fave and keep it on hand for mani emergencies (or, erm, boring meetings). Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we're being honest (and I like to think we've reached a point in our relationship where we can be blunt), the ones you've been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley.

A bodysuit with over 24,000 5-star reviews, which feels pretty significant for a stretchy, barely there piece of clothing, don't ya think? It's hailed for being breathable, soft, perfectly accentuating of natural curves, and delightfully similar to Skims. Sounds like a winner to me! A chic button-down linen dress to pay tribute to the butter yellow trend that's all the rage right now — and if bright hues aren't your thing, you can try it out in one of the other three shades available! A classic Madewell tee that was likely what Taylor Swift was thinking about when she wrote the lyrics "We never go out of style." An off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, because you and I know you've been itching to give this style a whirl but hadn't found an affordable option you were willing to take a chance on. Well, hellloooooo! Here she is!

A luggage drink caddy to attach to your wheeled luggage — it'll become your saving grace when traveling. You can use it to hold your Starbies, phone, ID, etc, and prevent you from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport. A ribbon bookmark that'll have you tossing your Kindle aside so you can show off this coquettish beauty in a physical book. Can't you imagine Belle from Beauty and the Beast accessorizing her novel of the day with one of these?!

Tune out everything *but* your go-to Dead and Company playlist, crack open a book, and let the headphones do their job.

I loved it so much that I bought more for another window that needed privacy help after my cats destroyed the blinds. Worth every penny.

Can't recommend it enough" — Mar Get it from Amazon for $15.56+ (available in six sizes and eight styles). 2. Faux peonies for anyone who has claimed them as their favorite flower since Blair Waldorf said they were hers (guilty). These will remain just as beautiful as the day you buy 'em because, duh, they're fake! Promising review:"I'm extremely pleased with this bunch of peonies. They come as a spray on one branch, so I cut each stem off and arranged them individually. The resulting arrangement is lush and beautiful. There are enough leaves and other pieces that make it more than just the flowers and allow for some spiky bits to pop out. You will not be disappointed!" — c2believe Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 30 colors). 3. Plus, an eye-catching glass bag vase that'll give your designer one a run for its money.

Ahem, putting on my deep, booming announcer voice to tell you dramatically that it can clean EVERYTHING from pots and pans, stove tops, sinks, shower doors, tiles of all kinds, kitchen appliances, grout, outdoor furniture, AND your car!!! Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand-new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99. 5. Bella's Ceramic Fold-n-Store Dual Griddle, because even if you live in a studio apartment with a claim to The World's Smallest Kitchen, you shouldn't be deprived of the ability to whip up 12 pancakes whenever the mood strikes. Promising review:"I love how spacious yet compact this griddle is. It's big enough to cook for the family but folds up neatly for easy storage. The non-stick surface works perfectly—nothing sticks, and cleanup is super quick. The dual temperature controls are a nice bonus, letting you cook different foods at once. It's a simple, reliable tool that makes cooking so much easier!" — SAMAS Get it from Amazon for $49.40+ (available in four colors) 6. A Ninja Crispi Air Fryer system that'll have you feeling like you've just become an American Ninja Kitchen Warrior.

Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in three colors). 7. A Dash mini maker, perfect if you live solo and don't have to make egg sandwiches for an entire household of hungry humans. You can use this baby to craft a delightful bite for yourself with minimal cleanup — who wants a sink full of dishes when you're the only one responsible for washing them? Not me! Promising review: "This is the perfect easy breakfast sandwich maker. It cooks the egg perfectly (I used jumbo eggs, and it worked perfectly, just like regular eggs). It's honestly one of my personal favorite appliances. I just had a baby, and having something I can crack an egg into and let it sit to cook without having to flip, and it's done within five minutes is honestly a lifesaver, and it cleans super easy! 10/10 I love this thing; it's just like my George Foreman!" — Emily Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors). 8. A storage container designed to give your deli meats and cheeses a place to call home. It has an air-tight seal to keep your items fresh *and* you can write on it with a dry-erase marker, so you can remember what you bought at the store when you're bleary-eyed and whipping up a quick sandwich before the workday. One reviewer also notes it's great for storing smaller vegetables! Promising review:"Love this storage container great to keep bacon in. Keeps it fresh longer. Plus, you write with a dry-erase marker on the lid so you know what's in it and date it. Would be great large amounts of deli meats as well" — susan dirr Get it from Amazon for $14.39. 9. A family-size Perfect Pot you can use on both the stovetop and in the oven — it'll replace your stock pot, Dutch oven, saucepot, roasting rack, steamer, colander, braiser, and spoon rest. Alas, it *won't* replace your inability to perfectly replicate your mom's prized Sunday sauce, but it'll give you the right tools to keep trying! Amazon Promising review:"When it comes to cookware, I truly believe you can't do better than this brand, the material used, the rich, beautiful color, the ease of use, and the nonstick properties are absolutely amazing. I will make sure that I buy every last pot from this line." — Lori Bush Get it from Amazon for $163 (available in six colors). 10. A set of colorful mixing bowls with easy-to-pour spouts built right in so you'll never waste a drop of your good-enough-to-be-famous chocolate cake batter. They come in an array of lovely shades, are dishwasher-safe, and conveniently stack inside one another for easy storage! Promising review:"I love these mixing bowls. The packaging is very beautiful. The bonus for me is the black rings in the bottom to prevent the bowls from sliding around on the counter when you're mixing/whisking. I bought them to make pancakes, but I use them for everything now. The set is a nice upgrade from using a regular soup bowl for mixing." — Sarita Get the set of four from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 10 styles). 11. A set of rustic-style ceramic ramekins if you're hoping to channel your inner–Pioneer Woman the next time you serve your family an easy recipe like baked mac 'n' cheese. Simple meal? Yep. But will it feel cozier than eating it out of a standard bowl? Absolutely! Mora Ceramics is a small business that specializes in home goods. One reviewer (shown above, right) even used it to dress up serving pizza rolls! Promising review: "Very high-end ramekins! Pricey, but worth every penny. They are absolutely stunning! They are very well-made. They are large and I absolutely love them. I highly recommend and I will also definitely buy again from this company." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles) 12. A hybrid berry basket and colander to add a splash of color to the annoying task of cleaning all of the berries you just grabbed at the market. Toss 'em right into the colander, let 'em drain, then pop it back into the container to keep them fresh. Cute and functional is the name of MY game, in case you were wondering. Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop it into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 13. An Owala SmoothSip Slider (say that 10x fast) that'll have you donating all of your other cups to make room for this one in every color — it has a slide-top spout to prevent spills, so you won't ever have to show up to a doctor's appointment covered in Reviewers love that it can keep drinks hot for six hours and cold for up to 24!

Promising review:"I usually don't like to drink my coffee from travel mugs because something about the lid makes the coffee taste weird….. this lid is not like others! It has a smooth texture and doesn't have a plastic taste. It is completely leakproof (my 14-month-old constantly turns it upside down and throws it around when I'm not looking). And lastly, I've dropped this thing a few times now, and not a dent or scratch on it. Perfect size, very happy with it!" — Hannah Chase Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 14. And a sleek temperature-detecting thermos to save you from burning your tastebuds off (again) so you can enjoy the sweet, sweet taste of hot coffee you carefully crafted before heading out of the house. It comes in fun colors and has a clear-as-day digital display to tell you precisely what temp the beverage is inside. Promising review: "I ordered one based on reviews, and it did not disappoint. I like my coffee HOT and my water COLD, and this lets me know exactly what to expect. It keeps ice for HOURS, as in well over 24 if the lid is on and over 12 even if the lid is off. Best feature ... I've managed to drop it TWICE in as many days, and although the top is a little scratched (I had a sleeve from a different bottle that almost comes up to the lid), the thermometer still works. Still leakproof. Couldn't ask for a better thermos." — Kelly H. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors). 15. An elegant set of square wineglasses you'll want to raise a toast to because they're just that lovely. They have a shocking resemblance to the ones you've likely been eyeing from Crate & Barrel but haven't wanted to commit to. These will certainly do the trick and garner you tons of compliments the next time you host a girls' night. Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B Get them from Amazon for $28.98 (also available in a set of two). 16. A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your daily stack. You might want to warn your pals to shield their eyes — this beauty is going to be DAZZLING in the sunlight at brunch. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this brand! She owns a bunch of their pieces and wears 'em daily (like this ring). Promising reviews: "I bought this bracelet to wear with my watch! It looks like the real deal! Sparkling, feel like I'm wearing diamonds! Easy to put on and take off!" — Lauren Carroll "I ordered this to match my Swarovski necklace, and it was beautiful. Hard to open clasp at first, but the size was perfect." — Cassity Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 17. Plus, a plated, jewel-embedded ring with Cartier love ring vibes, so you can enjoy the same style without shelling out thousands of dollars. This take on the classic accessory even has a bit of extra razzle-dazzle to it the original simply doesn't! Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles). 18. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that'll shockingly cost you less than a Grande iced latte at Starbucks (wowza!). Reviewers rave about how it's not greasy at all, sinks right in, leaves skin feeling (and smelling) amazing *and* will likely remind you of the ever-popular Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel la la! Promising review: "I was worried after some people said the scent was a bit strong, but as someone who is usually sensitive to smells I'm extremely happy with this. N ot only does it feel amazing and super creamy, it smells SOOOO good. I love that it feels like expensive body butter and the smell literally lasts all day. 100% recommend" — Carley Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two sizes, five other scents, and multi-packs). 19. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume for anyone who tried the sample size of YSL's Black Opium and fell in love with it but simply doesn't have $95 to spend on smelling lovely. Luckily for you, this one is super similar and will leave you with enough money left to *also* treat yourself to lunch. Dossier is a small business that specializes in alternative, affordable perfumes — check out the rest of their options on their Amazon storefront! Promising review: "Gorgeous scent! I love perfumes, and I'm super picky. I either love or return. This scent is gorgeous. Smells a bit sweet but not overly sweet, not super vanilla, just a hint of it with sophistication. Very soft and sultry. I applied moisturizer (thin, thin layer of Vaseline) and then sprayed perfume. It stayed on my skin for probably over eight hours. I checked my sweater the next day, you could easily smell it on my sweater. Definitely worth the money." — Amazon Customer 20. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer, aka a K-beauty must-have you may not have heard of just yet, but, boy, are you about to now! The jar is filled with tiny, poppable capsules you can snap and apply directly to your skin for the glowy revival you've been hoping for since Jack Frost did his worst. Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue left behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi Get it from Amazon for $19.90. 21. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse because not all of us have been naturally blessed with Brooke Shields's iconic eyebrows — this product comes in six shades and will give your brows the boost they need. Amazon Promising review:"So quick and easy to get full fluffy brows! It does it all in one. Gives them volume, holds them nice without being over-tacky and stiff, and darkens them. So easy in the morning before work. Takes a couple of swipes, and I am ready to go." — jessica alexandra Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six shades). 22. Crest's "Sensitive Teeth" 3D Whitestrips, so instead of grimacing in pain from the whitening process you can simply show off your stain-free pearly whites with a big ol' smile. Amazon Promising review: "I have only been able to use at-home teeth whitening kits after finding this one! Usually, my tooth sensitivity is unbearable after chemical-based teeth whitening, but this one didn't bother me at all! It is a 30-day kit, meant to be used once per day. A fter the first use, I noticed my teeth were already whiter. I was skeptical about being able to use the strips every day because I figured it would amp up the tooth sensitivity. However, I'm several days in and still have no problems. Highly recommend!!!" — CsameC Get it 18 treatments from Amazon for $38.49. 23. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops that'll quickly become your most talked about skincare item after you see how incredible it'll leave your face looking and feeling. It's packed with hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid and can be used solely as a serum or mixed in with your go-to foundation for a hydrating boost your skin is likely craving. Reviewers love using it instead of the pricier (but VERY similar) Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Amazon Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 24. Ouai Wave Spray to get your hair looking fresh, frizz-free and help you get out the door in 1, 2, 3. It works wonders on wet or dry locks with the least amount of effort necessary so you can save your strength for wrangling your hyper pup at the dog park or sitting through meetings that could've been emails. I have naturally wavy (but frizzy) hair and after trying many products this is where I've happily landed. Ouai is the first brand I recommend to my fellow wavy-haired ladies. It's light, doesn't leave your locks feeling crunchy, doesn't have an overpowering smell, and keeps hair looking fresh. My only complaint used to be that it didn't come in a massive-sized bottle, but their new formula (that is even BETTER than the first and contains coconut oil and rice protein) comes in both a 3 fl oz bottle *and* a 6 fl oz bottle! Ouai also has a curl cream that I'm a huge fan of — it's lightweight and also does the trick (though the wave spray is still my favorite). In the photo above (right), I literally threw my hair into a half/up situation right out of the shower, gave it a spritz, and moved on with my day. Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes). 25. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream because chances are you've been neglecting these specific skin areas for years — well, now's their time to shine! This cream is packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and has been crafted to improve skin's elasticity and texture. TL;DR: you're welcome for introducing you to this magical stuff. Promising review:"I've been using this for five days, and I can't believe how much it's helped with the saggy skin under my chin. I'm 37, and I've been using various products, but nothing was making a difference, and my skin continued to get loose in that area. I came across this, looked at the reviews, and decided to try it, though I honestly wasn't sure it would work for me, considering other things I've tried that haven't helped. I can't even express how much better I feel now. I have no idea how this cream works and actually tightens up the skin, but I'm so grateful. I'm no longer self-conscious about it, and I actually like looking in the mirror now and not seeing the extra skin hanging from the bottom of my chin." — 📚#WHYCHOOSE Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 26. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse a must-buy whether you have curly curls, wonderful waves, or splendidly straight locks — it's designed for all hair types! See ya later, frizz. Hello, hydration and volume! Promising review:"I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 27. Laneige Neo Blurring Powder will make you feel like an oil-absorbing, pore-blurring wizard. All you have to do is dab-dab-dab with the lovely puff the powder comes with, and then admire your perfectly matte complexion for the rest of the day. 28. Tarte Big Stick Energy duo, made up of the new Shape Tape blur concealer stick and brush, will replace any other coverage product you've got on your bathroom vanity. It's creamy, buildable, and won't settle or get cake-y under your eyes. It's a 10/10, new must-have item for your makeup bag. Let me tell you, I am SO obsessed after trying out this product. The photos above are from when I tried it out for the first time after having very little sleep the previous night (and, if I'm being honest, many nights prior, as my baby girl is not a fan of sleep in general). It felt super creamy as I applied it to my skin. The diamond-shaped tip of the stick helped me "draw" it into the curves of my face as needed. The Shape Tape blur conceal brush also blew me away — it felt so soft against my face and like using a magic wand to blend in the concealer. I didn't even need to apply a second dose to minimize my undereye bags! I've been using the original Shape Tape for years and adore it, but this new version is absolutely going to replace it in my makeup bag simply because it is so much easier to apply. It also blends better than the original with the help of the new brush and, overall, feels lighter on my skin. Consider me a lifelong fan! Get it from Tarte for $29 (available in 48 shades). 29. OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish to keep at your desk for an impromptu manicure during a video meeting, which definitely could've been an email (sigh). It comes in so many lovely shades you'll easily be able to pick your fave and keep it on hand for mani emergencies (or, erm, boring meetings). Amazon, Promising review: I only needed one coat for coverage over the OPI primer. The nail polish quickly dried and stayed on my nails for two weeks before starting to chip. The polish is a great value for money, color, and shine." — lois Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades) 30. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we're being honest (and I like to think we've reached a point in our relationship where we can be blunt), the ones you've been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley. It's time for you to upgrade your sleeping situation, friend! Promising review:"I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" — T. Rune Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99 (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing). 31. And a waffle-knit duvet cover set to give your bedroom the makeover it deserves. Not to mention you *also* deserve a super soft and cozy place to rest your bones after a long day. The set comes with a duvet cover and two pillowcases. Promising review: " We searched high and low for a new comforter and went through three before we finally found something that was attractive, durable, and comfortable. We bought the Bedsure duvet insert to go with, which breathed great on its own when used without a top sheet. The duvet cover was easy to put on (flip it inside out, lay it over the bed, and lay the insert on top. Tie the ties, reach inside to the top corners, grab the insert, and flip the whole thing inside out… easier with two people if you have a king). Already had an instance where we needed to spot clean, and it did well. Also did well in the washer and dryer before we put it on. The waffle texture is just beautiful and it seems like it is well-made and will last. We are extremely happy with this purchase." — K Washington Get it from Amazon for $82.99+ (available in full, queen, oversized queen, king, California king, and oversized king sizes and 40 styles). 32. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so you can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches. Pop on that Lo-Fi playlist you've been reserving for a moment of calm, turn on this gadget, and breaaaathe. Heather Braga / BuzzFeed After reading about how much reviewers loved this product (and including it in my articles for years) I was so excited to finally try it out myself. I wasn't disappointed! It's a little louder than I thought it would be (as the air compresses in and out to relieve tension), but once I put music on with it, I didn't notice the noise anymore. I've been using it to relax my eyes after a long day of working on screens *and* parenting. I also break it out when I have sinus pain, and it's been really helpful in easing that pain. Consider me a fan! Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon's must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn't interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $52.99 (available in seven colors). 33. Gauzy super-wide pants I'm going to have to go ahead and apologize right now for showing you because you're going to want them in all seven styles. Oops. Anyways, they are lightweight, will travel beautifully in your suitcase, *and* have pockets! Old Navy Promising review: " Love these, soft and comfy, but would size down next time." – anonymous Get them from Old Navy for $24 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL, 2X–4X, and seven styles). 34. A bodysuit with over 24,000 5-star reviews, which feels pretty significant for a stretchy, barely there piece of clothing, don't ya think? It's hailed for being breathable, soft, perfectly accentuating of natural curves, and delightfully similar to Skims. Sounds like a winner to me! Promising review:"I own a lot of shapewear and when my best friend introduced me to this brand it changed the game. IT SNATCHED ME RIGHT ON UP MAMA. 🤗" — lecreesha thomas Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes 2XS–4XL and 11 styles). 35. A chic button-down linen dress to pay tribute to the butter yellow trend that's all the rage right now — and if bright hues aren't your thing, you can try it out in one of the other three shades available! Lulus Promising review:"This dress fits exactly as pictured and is a very nice material. It's perfect for a lunch out or vacation!" — Meryl G. Get it from Lulus for $45 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and four colors). 36. A classic Madewell tee that was likely what Taylor Swift was thinking about when she wrote the lyrics "We never go out of style." Madewell There's no way you won't end up getting this in all three colors, sorry. You can even have it customized with up to eight characters — might I suggest "Piper no." Get it from Madewell for $19.50 (available in women's sizes 2XS–2X, three colors, and with or without personalization). 37. An off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, because you and I know you've been itching to give this style a whirl but hadn't found an affordable option you were willing to take a chance on. Well, hellloooooo! Here she is! Promising review:"This is exactly has described. The material is so light, soft, and stretchy. Love that it can be dressed up or a more casual look, depending on the accessories and shoes. IT HAS POCKETS! If you're on the fence — DO IT— you won't regret it!" — Cody Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 32 styles). 38. A pair of plush checkered slippers to protect your feet from the ice-like tiled floors in your home while also letting you remind your family of how punk rock you are, even if your checked slip-on Vans have been retired to the back of the closet. 🤘 Promising review:"These slippers are not only super cute but also really comfy. I walk all over my house in them, and they feel so cushy with the memory foam soles. They are easy to clean, too, since they are machine washable. True to shoe size." — Brenbren Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and five styles). 39. Ruffled ankle socks that'll add a dainty flair to your daily uniform of chunky sneakers and leggings, and mimic the darling ones you used to wear as a kid. Promising review:"The CUTEST socks!! I paired them with my pink Nike Dunks. Not too thick, not too thin. Cute ruffle design at the top of the socks, with ribbed material throughout the body of the socks. I want to buy ALL the colors now!" — Sarita Zanona Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in nine styles). 40. A Bogg bag all of the other moms have been toting around at school pick-up while you wonder if all the hype about them is real — spoiler, it is. They come in *so* many colors, have a bunch of accessories you can add, are easy to clean, and are so durable that even your teething tot won't destroy it. Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Bogg I recently got my very first Bogg bag in the medium size (or as the brand calls it, "The Baby." When I opened it, I thought, "This is as if a Croc became a handbag!" because they have so many fun accessories you can plug into the sides (similar to the charms on Crocs). I'm starting with a cup holder and a phone holder, but you should absolutely check out all their accessory offerings. It's very lightweight since it's made of rubber, which is great because I know I will stuff it to the brim with beach gear this summer. Also! Bogg is a small business! Promising review:"Perfect!Very cute and, surprisingly, the perfect bag for me! The bag is still easy to carry even with it all loaded up. Today, I had a 30oz Stanley, my book, snacks for my two boys, their lesson books, a pack of wipes, two pullups for my toddler, my tiny crossbody purse, my keys, meds, and phone in it. And it wasn't heavy! Definitely kept everything steady and safe." — Holly Get it from Amazon or Bogg for $70 (available in larger and smaller sizes and 56 styles). 41. A luggage drink caddy to attach to your wheeled luggage — it'll become your saving grace when traveling. You can use it to hold your Starbies, phone, ID, etc, and prevent you from fumbling around for all those items while heading to the gate at the airport. Promising review: "This cup holder is perfect! It helps me a lot! Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 32 colors). 42. A ribbon bookmark that'll have you tossing your Kindle aside so you can show off this coquettish beauty in a physical book. Can't you imagine Belle from Beauty and the Beast accessorizing her novel of the day with one of these?! The Bestie Booksleeve / Etsy The Bestie Booksleeve is a small business that sells cute book accessories. Promising review: "WOW!!! This bow bookmark is a charming addition to any book lover's collection.

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. See what BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has to say about this: " I own a pair of these, because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors). Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

23 Elevated Basics That'll Make You Feel Like The Definition Of "Chic"
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A one-shoulder bodysuit with a plunge neckline that'll make you feel so sexy, whether you're on vacation, out dancing, or literally just running errands. It's double-lined around the chest area to provide extra support, and many reviewers said they can comfortably wear it without a bra! Promising review: "Wore this all three days bartending EDC music festival and fit the dress code perfectly while adding some flair and personality. Extremely easy to hand wash if you have to and is moisture wicking so it keeps you cool in the humid heat. True to size and comes in so many colors. I purchased mine in black to abide by a dress code but I may purchase it in some other colors in the future. Easy to wear, super cute and comfy, and will give you fun tan lines! 😂" — Mia Get it from Amazon for $21.82+ (available in 24 colors and sizes S–XXL). 2. A pair of high-waisted drapey pants featuring an adjustable tie waist. You can pair them with baby tees for the iconic "tight top, loose pants" combo or rock the baggy-on-baggy look that's supremely comfortable. Old Navy Promising review: "Wow these are so cute and comfy and stylish all at the same time. Love it! Love the cotton and drapey look." — anonymous Get them from Old Navy for $25 (originally $44.99; available in four colors and sizes 0–30 and in regular, tall, or petite). 3. A mid-length double-breasted peacoat that Blair Waldorf would definitely be rocking on the daily. Reach for this chic piece when you want to spruce things up beyond the capabilities of a hoodie. Promising reviews: " This coat is so tailored looking. You would have thought I paid a lot for it. This coat makes yoga pants and sneakers look good. I can button it, but it's snug, which I knew it would be since I usually get a bigger size because of my front. But even unbuttoned, it looks good! Well worth the money — thinking of getting the tan one and pink one." — G Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 31 colors). 4. An off-the-shoulder top with a built-in bra so you don't have to stress about bra straps showing or how you'll keep a strapless one from slipping. It's made from a high-quality, stretchy fabric that'll stay in place without digging into your skin. And you'll be happy to hear there's a cropped tee version, a long-sleeve version, AND a cropped long-sleeve version. Promising review: "This is so cute! I love the build in bra it is so comfortable! I can never wear tops like this since I like to have some shape since I have smaller chest. This is perfect and works on curvier girls" — Caila Get it from Klassy Network for $38 (available in five colors and sizes XS–3X) 5. An oversize V-neck polo sweater to bring that old-money, preppy vibe to your wardrobe. It's incredibly soft, and reviewers say it has an ideal oversized fit without feeling stiff — perfect for a chilly evening outing! Promising review: "I get compliments every time I wear this! Looks high-end, very comfortable. Sleeve length is a little long but looks good rolled up once (I'd rather them be too long than too short)." — erin granger Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in sizes S–L and four styles). 6. A pair of high-waisted barrel jeans because they're trendy and look amazing with any top — a button-up, a baby tee, a slouchy sweater, the list goes on. They have a nice roomy fit, so you'll be able to sit criss-cross applesauce without feeling restricted. Amazon Promising review:"I love the fit. I am all about comfort these days and just won't wear it if it isn't comfortable. These baggy barrel jeans do not disappoint. They fit true to size. I will be ordering another pair, they have several different colors." — Tiffkd Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 4–18 and 10 colors). 7. And some wide-legged high-waisted jeans so you can play around with different silhouettes. There's just something about that extra seam stitched onto the front that really takes these jeans to the next level. Promising review: "Love these jeans, they're very comfortable. They're loose enough to move around. They look great with heels or platforms. They're a little snug on top on the waist area, but other than that, I love the fit. I love the look. I love how it swings when you walk. I recommend these jeans to anyone." — Susie Fume Get it from Amazon for $40.52 (available in sizes 24–42 and six colors). 8. A ribbed bell-sleeve top that adds a little extra flair to your basic long-sleeve. This one is lightweight, stretchy, and so soft — it might be more comfortable than your pajamas and is definitely a whole lot cuter. Alexander Jane Alexander Jane is an inclusive small biz that designs clothing that is cute and comfortable. Get it from Alexander Jane for $32 (available in two colors and sizes XXS–4X). 9. A pair of parachute pants so you can look like you're in Step Up. These are lightweight and have a string at the ankle so you can cuff them. They're great for styling with a unique sweater for a cool Y2K-inspired 'fit; plus, the material makes them great for rainy and snowy days! You can easily throw them over some fleece-lined leggings for extra warmth. Promising review: "I've been on the hunt for a cute pair of track pants, but most of the time the ones I find are extremely expensive. T hese pants are really comfortable, they are also a really good length where if I wear them with sneakers they go past my ankle but don't touch the floor. They also have a string to cuff the bottoms if you'd like, so you're getting good quality for the price. I usually buy my bottoms in Xl and am a size 18 since I'm on the curvier side, so I was taking a gamble by buying the pants in size large. Surprisingly they are quite stretchy and are not tight at all, definitely recommend!" — Anonymous Get them from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes XS–L and in eight colors). 10. An asymmetrical twist top that definitely has model off-duty vibes. It's a step up from your average tank but still goes with anything you'd normally wear with a tank, and you can mix it up by wearing it on or off the shoulder to switch up the neckline. Abercrombie & Fitch Promising review: "The perfect length and classy but cute top. Love the details- great for going out or for a dinner with parents. Will be wearing a lot!!" — Kate Get it from Abercrombie & Fitch for $40 (available in seven colors and sizes XXS–XXL). 11. Or this super versatile asymmetrical top with longer sleeves if you want a bit more coverage. There aren't many shirts you can style for work and a Blackpink concert, so consider this a rare find! *Plus* it's made from a moisture-wicking material, so you'll be all good if you do wear it to a show and get all sweaty from dancing. Promising review: "This top is soooo cute and very comfortable!! It fits very well and is snug. The material has some give to it so it should have no issue stretching a little. I love how versatile the shoulders are. I'm able to wear to work as a modest top then change the shoulders for going out!" — Margaret Craft Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors, two styles, and sizes S–XXL). 12. A pair of simple work pants that feel like loungewear but can easily transition from the office to dinner. Pair them with block heels and a stylish button-up for a polished work look, then switch to a cute top and chunky boots for an evening out. They're also great to bring on trips since they're so versatile and comfortable! Halara Promising review: "These were a hit today. Felt comfortable and really sharp looking. Couldn't be happier." — 1***2 Get them from Halara for $34.95 (originally $39.95; available in 21 colors and sizes XS–3X and in regular, tall or petite). 13. A cotton-cashmere-blend ribbed boat neck top for a timeless piece you can style endlessly; in fact, its versatility makes it perfect for year-round wear, whether styled as a layering piece or worn on its own. It's lightweight, breathable, ridiculously soft, and built to last! Quince Promising review: "I absolutely love the fit of this top. I first got it in the camel, beige color and have now repurchased more colors. The fit is stunning and looks so much more expensive than it is. Very flattering" — Laurad Get it from Quince for $34.90 (available in five colors and sizes XS–XL). 14. A pair of wide-leg lounge pants with a thick elastic waistband and a drawstring. They're made from a super soft, almost silky fabric that'll keep you warm enough during the awkward winter-to-spring transition, but are flowy so you won't overheat. Promising review: "Super well made, nice thick waistband, deep pockets, so so so soft, I don't want to take them off! I probably could have gotten a smaller size, but they're for lounging around the house, so it's fine. Will probably buy more because they're so good, and the color is stunnnnnning! So so happy." — heathered Get it from Amazon for $23.19 (available in sizes S–5X and 23 colors). 15. A square-neck bodysuit to tuck into all your cute flowy pants and skirts without any fabric bunching or lumping — reviewers swear by its comfort. You'll probably wear it so often, you'll end up buying more (and who can blame you)! Promising reviews: "Best thing in my wardrobe. This is my go-to office top. It's super soft and stretchy!" — Karen Rodriguez "I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS BODYSUIT! This is the most comfortable body suit I have ever worn! I've now ordered it in white and tan because it is a perfect basic to have in your closet for any season! I paired it with jeans, but it would also look cute with slacks, shorts, or even a skirt! Super easy to dress up for work by throwing a blazer over it! Or even dressing it up for a night out on the town with some cute heels and jewelry! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!" — Melissa Edmunds Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and a variety of colors/styles, including fleece-lined and short and long sleeves). 16. A long-sleeve top made with a super soft fabric that has just the right amount of stretch and thickness. Some reviewers even compare the quality to Skims, which definitely sets it above those other plain long sleeves. Promising review: "This shirt is an absolute must-have for fall and winter! The material is incredibly soft; think that buttery-smooth fabric everyone's raving about. But what really sets it apart is the fit. It gently hugs your body with a light, comfortable compression that feels amazing all day. Stylish and cozy, this is the perfect go-to for chilly days!" — CassiG Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 31 colors). 17. And a short-sleeve version since spring is coming, and you'll definitely need an option for the warmer weather! Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 33 colors). 18. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress reviewers say is soft and breathable, with some liking it even more than Skims! You can wear it casually with a bolero and sneakers or jazz it up with some elegant jewelry and heels. Reviewers agree that if you want it more fitted, size down! Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." — Kaitlyn "I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but read reviews and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look definitely get a size smaller as it is very stretchy. I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother while Skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and nine colors). 19. A pair of palazzo pants so you can feel cozy and comfortable while looking put-together. The wide-leg silhouette adds a stylish flair to any outfit and the loose design allows for breathability and easy movement. Plus, you can easily layer them with tights for extra warmth without feeling constricted! Promising review: "I'm a 5'1.5" girl and have been STRUGGLING to find office pants that I haven't needed to get hemmed. I bought these in the XS short, and they fit like a dream!! So comfy. The waistband is very stretchy, and wearing these feels like sweatpants. They are on the thinner side — I wouldn't wear them in winter without warmer leggings or something underneath, but for summer or autumn, they are perfect." — shalom Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, 1X–2X, long and short sizes, and 28 colors). 20. A cap sleeve tee that shows off your beautiful décolletage while still being casual enough to on a Target run 😅. Its soft, dainty vibe pairs perfectly with flowy skirts for the full "prancing through a meadow" look, but it would also look great juxtaposed with structured denim. Get it from Target for $10 (available in five colors and sizes XXS–4X) 21. A satin slip skirt (with an elastic waistband for extra comfort!) that'll look ah-mazing with sweaters and boots or sneakers and a baby tee. The fabric has a beautiful flow and shine to add some elegance to your wardrobe. You've probably seen this skirt all over your feeds, and it's about time you got one! Promising review: "EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY. I am so pleased with this skirt that I've now ordered three. The pink is almost a bright fuschia and I feel super 'Elle Woods' in it. The Storm color is a soft greige (gray/beige) and looks stunning at work. It doesn't shift at all and doesn't cling too badly (except where you want it to). Overall INCREDIBLE purchases." — Hutson Family Get it from Amazon for $27.17+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 20 colors). 22. An oversize cashmere cardigan so you can get away with wearing a blanket to work. It'll quickly become a staple piece in your wardrobe, and it's so soft, you'll find yourself wishing upon a star to make all your clothes cashmere (specifically Grade-A Mongolian cashmere). Quince Promising review: "As soon as I got this sweater and put it on, I knew I needed at least three more in different colors. This has very quickly become a staple in my wardrobe that I can dress up for the office and down for cozy weekends. You will not regret buying it!" — Mary P Get it from Quince for $149.90 (available in sizes 1X–3X and in six colors). 23. Or an oversize knit cardigan because the concept of cozy doesn't even exist without one of these. This one is definitely on the thicker/warmer side, making it a great option on chillier days. It's truly one of the most versatile things you could have in your wardrobe. Promising review: "This cardigan is incredibly well made and a good weight for the fall and winter. I live in the South, so we don't get super cold weather, but this is a great layering piece for the chilly days. It's perfectly oversized and has held up so well even after washing several times (I hang it to dry)! I'm able to wear this comfortably at my office job without getting too warm, which is a plus. Will be purchasing in more colors!!" — Haleigh

Shopping · Blair Waldorf absolutely owns these monogramed hand towels. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A pair of teardrop earrings you can wear with any 'fit for any occasion — not many accessories can look as equally amazing with a shirt and jeans as they do with a floor-length gown, but these pull it off! They might look similar to the Bottega Veneta ones, but thankfully, they're *much* cheaper. Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega drop earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size). 2. A lightweight Sol de Janeiro hair and body fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 — infused with a lovely blend of hibiscus, jasmine, and sun musk, it's reminiscent of the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 (but won't leave your wallet crying). Amazon Promising review: "I finally received my new body spray yesterday and was in complete shock at the resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 540. This body spray is so delicious. It is definitely a Baccarat Rouge 540 [alternative]. There were so many reviews that said how much this body spray resembled the very pricey perfume, and they were all correct. I absolutely love Baccarat Rouge 540, but it's so expensive compared to other perfumes like Chanel, so I opt not to purchase it regularly. This body spray is a wonderful substitute for overpriced perfume. Today will be my first day wearing the spray, so hopefully, it has great longevity throughout the day as well. 🤞🏼 Regardless, I would still purchase it again moving forward." — Tina Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes and six other scents). 3. A gorgeous long-sleeved sequin dress that gives off major 16Arlington vibes (you know, the $765 version Hailey Bieber has worn). Yeah, it's that level of bougie. But here's the best part — this one's under $100. 😉 A few reviewers say the dress fits a bit roomy and that they were able to size down from what they normally wear. Promising reviews: "Hailey Bieber dress [alternative]. I loved the dress; it was perfect and I could adjust it to fit me in the back with the black drawstrings, which are on the front of the dress as well! My hair got stuck to some of the sequins of the dress, though. But overall, love the dress!" — Willy "This dress was surprisingly lovely! Great fit, so comfortable, looked amazing, and the sleeves are so cute. Got tons of compliments. Would recommend!" — Katrina R. Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in women's sizes XS–L and in seven colors). 4. A pair of 100% suede platform ankle boots with a striking resemblance to Uggs, but for a fraction of the price. These have a cozy faux fur lining that'll keep your steppers so warm, they might not even realize they've been outside in the cold for the past 30 minutes. Promising review: "I've never done any reviews before, but this totally deserves it. It has been almost a week since I purchased these amazing boots. I haven't bought Uggs because I think that they're too expensive but THEEEEESE feel so fancy and they're so warm. They're true to size and fit like a glove. They're so cute and very comfortable. I'm going to look for more colors." — D Get them from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–11 and seven colors). 5. L'Oreal's True Match Lumi Glotion so you can glow like a beautiful sunset without spending three times as much on Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Drops. This adds a lightweight tint that creates a natural dewy look, perfect for mixing with your favorite moisturizer or layering with foundation! Promising reviews: "I used this with my Olay Regenerist Cream (it helps with my wrinkles). I mixed it, and it does a great deal of shine! You should buy it if you're looking for a Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Drops substitute! Way better than Drunk Elephant." — raegan kuball "I actually like this glowy lotion better than the Drunk Elephant one, and I have both. This goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It leaves you very glowy with a beautiful tan and works well with makeup on top if you so wish. Lasting power, too. Recommend." — ggvega Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades and as a two-pack). 6. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress if you've always wanted to try the Skims version but just don't have the budget for it. It's soft and breathable, and some reviewers even like it more than Skims! Wear it casually with a bolero and sneakers, or jazz it up with some elegant jewelry and heels. Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down. Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." — Kaitlyn "I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but read reviews and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look definitely get a size smaller as it is very stretchy. I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother while Skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 10 colors). 7. And a scoop neck top that's also giving Skims a run for their money. It's super soft with the perfect amount of thickness and stretchiness, making it the perfect versatile staple for your closet. Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 33 colors). 8. Some oversized square sunnies for when you want to add some Bottega energy to your 'fit but don't have the extra cash to spend on a *real* pair of Bottegas. These have polarized lenses and UV protection — so they do more than just make you look chic and stylish. Promising review:"I've been looking at these sunglasses at Bottega Veneta for months but just couldn't justify spending the hundreds of dollars because I lose sunnies so often! These are EXACTLY THE SAME! The weight of them, the detail on the sides. The only difference is the brand name is not on the side (obviously LOL) Love these so much!" — Shelley Cooper Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 14 lens colors). 9. An ornate Baroque mirror that has the same vibe as the Anthropologie one without asking you to break your budget. I mean, you see the reviewer pics below — this thing is gorgeous, stunning, amazing — any room would be lucky to have it. Promising review:"I've had my eye on the Anthropologie mirror in this similar style for years. But I cannot bring myself to spend that kind of money on a mirror. I don't care how nice it is. But this mirror is gorgeous, much more affordable, and while not an exact [substitute], it's very similar and brings just as much charm to a room. It's incredibly sturdy, detailed, and well made. I do notice a bit of waviness in the mirror itself but it's not extreme and serves its purpose while adding beauty to a space." — Deborah L. Get it from Amazon for $91.99+ (available in 10 sizes and five styles). 10. A satin slip skirt (with an elastic waistband for extra comfort!) that'll look ah-mazing with everything from sweaters and boots to graphic tees and sneakers. The fabric has a beautiful flow and shine to add some elegance to your wardrobe. You've probably seen this skirt all over Pinterest, and it's about time you got one! Promising review: "EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY. I am so pleased with this skirt that I've now ordered three. The pink is almost a bright fuschia and I feel super 'Elle Woods' in it. The Storm color is a soft greige (gray/beige) and looks stunning at work. It doesn't shift at all and doesn't cling too badly (except where you want it to). Overall INCREDIBLE purchases." — Hutson Family Get it from Amazon for $49.90 (available in women's sizes XXS–5X and 21 colors). 11. A set of old money-esque decorative hand towels you can monogram with your initials for some extra ~sophistication~. But they're not just beautiful — these are also extremely soft, thick, and absorbent. Promising review: "These towels are absolutely superior quality in every way. Very soft, thick and beautiful. The monogramming is also well done. Exactly what I was looking for in my new bathroom. I will be buying more." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven colors and 26 initial options). 12. A sleek, minimalist watch because it's simple, timeless, and goes with just about anything in your wardrobe. It's also water-resistant, so it'll survive that mad dash to your car in the pouring rain. Promising review:"I ordered this watch not expecting to be blown away because of the price. Boy, was I wrong! I immediately put on the watch as soon as I opened it up; It fits comfortably and the band wasn't too small, which I was a little concerned about. I'll definitely be looking to purchase other styles of this watch. Great buy, especially for the price!" — Jessica Kurry Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors). 13. A stunning laptop tote bag if you've been dying to own the luxurious Béis Work Tote but don't have over $100 to spend on a bag. This tote is just as wonderful, with a padded pocket that fits up to a 15.6-inch laptop and many other compartments for all the stuff you'd need for your day. The handles and shoulder strap are both adjustable and detachable, so you can also wear it different ways! Promising reviews: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su " Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney. She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers." — J Cliett Get it from Amazon for $34.86+ (available in nine styles). 14. Or a trendy tote bag that could get mistaken for the Longchamp Le Pliage bag — it even folds into a tiny rectangle just like the OG. (Whether you decide to tell people you got it for waaay less is up to you.) It's the perfect commuter bag and can easily hold your laptop, iPad, and all of your daily essentials! Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag too which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 15. A set of elegant cylindrical wineglasses so you can bring the fine dining experience into your home. Each drink will taste even better knowing how much money you saved not splurging on the nearly identical Crate & Barrel version. Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories. Promising review:"Crate & Barrel look for less. These look and feel very high end — almost like a thin crystal." — Lauren Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three styles). 16. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip formulated with vegan squalane, raspberry oil, and cloudberry oil to hydrate your lips while providing some serious shimmer. It's comparable to the Dior lip oil and UNDER $10, so everyone say "thank you" to Nyx. Amazon, Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the NYX Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It's always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $7.54+ (available in 14 shades). 17. A faux-leather belt that people passing by may easily mistake for the Gucci one. But no, you saved your money and got an equally chic one for *much* less. Promising review:"I'm one of those people who wears a belt for looks, not function. I had this belt on my list for a while because I like how it added an extra touch to outfits. Finally purchased it and it fits great! It really does that little extra to outfits because it looks expensive while being reasonably priced. I even had a coworker ask if it was 'one of those fancy Gucci belts.' I highly recommend!" — Jessica Maslyar Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 10 colors). 18. A cubic zirconia ring if you're not ready to drop over $1,000 (!!) on the Cartier Love Ring but still want the look. You'll find yourself wearing this with basically all your outfits — it's just that easy to style. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knockoff when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in ring sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles). 19. Or a stackable oval gem ring because it's stunning and goes with everything from a sweatsuit to an actual suit. It's perfect for when you're ballin' on a budget, and some reviewers even use it as a substitute wedding ring while they travel. (It's that gorgeous!) Plus, you can pair it with other high-quality Pavoi rings to get some Pinterest-level ring stacks. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord has to say: "TBH, I bought this ring after seeing it blow up on TikTok, and I love it. I wear it every single day, and I've gotten SO many compliments on it — friends are always stunned when I tell them how cheap it is! I've been wearing it for months now without any wear and tear that a quick cleaning won't fix. Pictures don't do it justice; it really does ✨gleam✨ like real jewels. (Bonus: I use this as a fake wedding ring when I travel to encourage humans to leave me alone, lolololol.)" Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in three plates and ring sizes 5–10). 20. A vegan leather shoulder bag that's so versatile and chic, you'll be pairing it with everything from a casual tee and jeans to a sleek dress for date night. It comes in a stunning range of colors that you'll want to collect like Infinity Stones — and I mean, you literally could buy *four* of these for the same price as JW Pei's adorable Joy shoulder bag. Promising review: "I'm amazed at the quality of this bag!! Like helloooo, don't think, just buy. To think I almost bought the JW Pei original. This will do just GREAT." — Olive Get it from Amazon for $22.49 (available in nine styles). 21. A pack of vegan and cruelty-free Lilac St. Original Lashes you can wear for up to 10 days (yes, you read that right!). They're a more affordable and accessible alternative to salon lash extensions but still give you the same flawless result. The silk lash fibers attach to an ultra-thin band that adheres well, giving you natural, wispy lashes that'll have you feeling like you're in the Winx club. ✨🦋 Check out why these are a fave in this TikTok. Promising review: "Y'all I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use multiple times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously will never stray." — Katiew Get them from Amazon for $12.95 (available in eight styles, four sizes, and in packs of three). 22. A 6-quart Dutch oven that people compare to budget-busting versions from Le Creuset, Staub, and Lodge in both its beauty and delivery of amazing meals. You don't need to sell your soul for high-quality, durable cookware (that also happens to be so pretty, it could double as decor). Promising review:" Le Creuset? Don't know her. I have always wanted one of these enamel covered cast iron beauties, but even from the outlet stores they were expensive. I saw this guy after finding a stew recipe that went from stove to oven, and I got it. I am DELIGHTED with this purchase! I've cooked in it several times, including a chili recipe tonight that had to reduce by half. It left a ridiculous ring on the inside, and that sucker wiped right out. I haven't burned or scorched any of my foods and it's pretty, too!" — HerRoyalHighness Get a 6-quart Dutch oven from Amazon for $61.19 (available in three sizes and 10 colors). 23. A set of vintage-inspired glass coffee mugs because the vessel a beverage comes in can make or break the vibe. Now you can enjoy your favorite drinks in a beautiful cup that looks way more expensive than it is — or I suppose you can buy the nearly identical set from Anthropologie if you like spending more money. Amazon Promising review:"These are so cute and look like an Anthropologie [version] for a fraction of the price!" — corriescott Get the set of two from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five styles and sets with matching lids or saucers). 24. A pair of elegant slingback heels that just might get mistaken as the Chanel version — but don't worry, no one has to know you got them for about as much as you'd spend on Uber Eats. These are perfect for when you have to be in the office during the day, then head straight to a fancy dinner at night. Some reviewers mention the strap is a little loose and recommend going a half size down so it stays snug against your foot! Promising review:"Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" — shinyliberty Get them from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in women's sizes 5–12). 25. A sparkly CZ tennis bracelet because you actually don't have to spend an arm and a leg on a Swarovski to feel opulent. This one looks just as elegant and timeless and can be worn everyday or to special events. Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, in yellow, rose, or white gold, and in packs of two). 26. And a hypoallergenic, adjustable knot bangle that would look great layered with it. With its ~luxury lewk~, it's a simple way to add a bit of elegance to your outfits, and since it's scratch-resistant, it's the perfect piece for your go-to jewelry collection. Check out a TikTok of the knot bracelet in action. Promising review:"Super high quality. Looks very expensive while the price is inexpensive. It looks so luxurious. I am absolutely in love." — Veronica Rosales Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in three colors). 27. An A-line midi dress with the same corset back as the House of CB version — but this is about four times cheaper! Now, you can live your cottagecore dreams in this Pinterest-perfect dress without spending a large chunk of your paycheck. Check it out on TikTok. Some reviewers note it's a little sheer and recommend nude undergarments. Promising reviews: "Bought this dress because I always wanted to get the House of CB dress but didn't want to pay over $250 for it. It's honestly so good! I got the size large in this since they didn't have my normal sizes, which are small to medium (I have a bigger chest so I tend to size up). But since this has a corset back, I was able to cinch it up really tight and it fit perfectly!" — Chris Herfurth Kennedy "Beautiful stunning perfection. This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The corset in the back makes it fit like it was made for me. It's double-lined and not see-through at all even though it's white. The straps are adjustable, the slit is a good height, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. I cannot say enough good things about it. It did come slightly wrinkly in the skirt, but nothing that a good steam won't fix." — Shoshanna Get it from Amazon for $53.99 (available in women's sizes 0–14 and in 16 colors/styles). 28. A deeply nourishing collagen-coating hair mask that only needs 5–20 minutes to revitalize your hair — and trust me, your strands will thank you. This treatment will leave your mane softer and glossier (it's the ceramide 3 and protein extracts!), and reviewers love how effective it is in repairing their damaged hair. You simply won't find another hair mask that works this well and is this affordable (*side-eyes Olaplex *). Just apply after shampooing, wait 5–20 minutes, then rinse out (easy peasy)! Check out our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for." Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." — Therese-Claire "I have super fine, blonde hair. I've ran through likely hundreds of different hair masks and leave in conditioners over the years, only to have them cling to my hair like nothing else, often leaving it feeling waxy and heavy. After a few rounds of clarifying shampoo, I reached for this stuff and it legit brought my hair back from the grave. Even with my hair being extremely fine, it leaves it soft, glossy, and gorgeous! I know some people have said they're not a fan of the smell, but I find it to be super light and refreshing. Could not recommend this stuff enough!!" — Soph Get it from Amazon for $7.93. 29. A pair of slip-on mules for days when you're working at the office *or* just roaming around window shopping and want your feet to breathe (reviewers say they're super comfy 😌). Your friends will be shocked that these *aren't* the Gemma mules from Madewell — and they'll be even more shocked when you tell them the price. Promising reviews:" Purchased to test as a [swap] for the Madewell Gemma mule. I absolutely love the shoes! I feel like they will stretch when I wear them a few more times, which my narrow feet can't really afford, but for the price of these compared to Madewell, I'll live with." — Briana Favors "I really love these shoes. I've been eyeing the Madewell Gemma mules for months, but stumbled upon these and decided to take a chance. These are super comfortable and easy to walk in." — Hannah Newsome Get them from Amazon for $35.97 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and five colors).
