43 Products Giving 'I Am A Pretty Princess" Energy
Wild Iris Musk Body Wash, the spring-friendly sister of the TikTok-famous "old money" Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired body wash. I am a massive fan of both — the moisturizing clean is so fresh, and the scents are so DELIGHTFULLY luscious without overpowering — but trust me when I say that Wild Iris Musk is *the* scent of spring. It's floral, soft, playful, and grounded all at once. (And yes, just like the original version, it smells ... expensive 👀.) E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm for all the ultra fans of Summer Fridays, Rhode, and Laneige whose bank accounts are begging them to put a stop to the lippie madness. These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.) A set of limited edition Band-Aids with retro flower patterns so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it fashion." An embroidered tulle dress that you are legally obligated to twirl in at LEAST once per hour, I don' t make the rules!! This structured, corseted top with its flowy skirt bottom is basically whimsy personified and should be treated as such. A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram the other day and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness. If you like highlighting your planner pages, favorite passages from books, or lines from your journal, please do yourself a favor and purchase these subtle but oh-so-sparkly colors to jazz them up ✨. A set of pastel sheer rainbow wineglasses to really get some adorable bang for your buck, because there's no way you won't use them as decor whenever you're not sipping sparkling rosé from them. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. A reviewer-beloved sparkling crystal suncatcher that's an investment in lifting your spirits every day — now you can come home to soft rainbow lights cast all over your entryway, turning your home into a magical realm as effervescent and lovely as you. A set of golden bracelets giving ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices. Reviewers especially love these mix-and-match sets because they look like expensive versions from Cartier — the middle one is giving the $8,000 "Juste Un Clou" and the studded one is giving the $6,000 "Love Bracelet!" And a dainty gold-plated station necklace, another home run from jewelry brand Pavoi so close to the real diamond versions from Quince and Dorsey that run $400+ that it'll turn all your everyday looks into ~quietly expensive~ looks. Eos Cashmere Vanilla Cashmere Whipped Oil Body Butter — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in a luxurious body butter form, and it's every bit as decadent as it sounds. Now you can spend all your self-care nights fully moisturized in a cloud of whipped vanilla, musk, and soft caramel. A wildly popular floral print sheer cover up for the perfect finishing touch to all your spring and summer outfits that won't make you swelter in the heat. Reviewers especially love how easily this packs (and photographs!!) for travel. A dainty pair of lace detail sneakers for anyone who loves a dash of whimsy but simply has to keep it practical when they're on the move. These are from the beloved Amazon brand Cushionaire, which is WELL known for making comfortable styles of trending shoes (these compare to far more expensive $190 version from Anthro and the $160 version from Viviaia!). A set of dainty but surprisingly strong bow-shaped hair clips to pair with all your frilliest dresses or to add a soft touch your more structured work outfits. A reversible vintage-inspired floral bathing suit with adjustable, oh-so-sweet bow straps that are almost too cute to exist. Like, spare some cuteness for the rest of the beach, will you?? A set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep. Reviewers especially love these because they're an affordable alternative to ones that typically run $18 per case! A set of "Golden Glow" under-eye gels made with 24-karat gold collagen formulated to brighten, nourish, and soothe your under-eyes so you can get that sweet, sweet de-puffing relief (and look ~expensive~ while you're doing it). A sheer lacy mock neck top just *begging* to be mix-and-matched with your favorite bras, dresses, and tops to add a dainty layer of ~intrigue~ to even the most run of the mill 'fit. Clinique Pop Lip + Cheek Tinted Oil tailor-made for the lifelong fans of the TikTok-famous "universal" Black Honey lippie that sells out time and time again — this ~juicier~, luscious version gives a dewier finish perfect for the lips and cheeks and a tint that lasts, making it the ultimate in your "no makeup makeup" arsenal. It's basically as if Dior Lip Glow Oil, Benetint, and Clinique Black Honey had a baby. A dainty pickleball paddle set so even if you're the worst players on the court, you'll at least be the cutest. These come complete with a chic carrying bag and four balls! A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one? A set of itty bitty vintage-inspired spoons that are just BEGGING to be used for all your coffee, tea, dessert, and yogurt needs. (Is it just me, or do we all have an Emotional Support Tiny Spoon?) Tree Hut Vanilla Hand Wash infused with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help hydrate and restore skin health so your hands can be super clean *and* super nourished. Now all you have to do is prepare to have the link to this handy whenever guests come over and are like, "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS DELECTABLE SOAP??" A vintage-inspired crystal candle warmer to add some timeless, cozy glam in your living room or bedroom without worrying about an open flame. A set of hypoallergenic gold-plated earrings you can mix and match to your aesthetic's content. Reviewers love how well these hold up over time, especially given the price! An absolutely darling satin ribbon bow bookmark with such irresistible Belle vibes that it'll be a miracle if all your local pots and pans don't start singing to you as you pass. A little rose-shaped straw topper for your emotional support water bottle so you can remind yourself everything's (literally) coming up roses every time you pluck it off to take a sip. This is an excellent way to keep your straw safe from germs in between sips! An oh-so-sweet hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that reviewers love using as a reading light, a wind-down light, or a nursery light. Bonus: it also functions as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head. An adorable floral ceramic latte mug because yes, coffee is good, but coffee with an ~aesthetic~? Simply can't be beat. (Bonus: these are microwave-safe!) A fluttery tulle-sleeved T-shirt perfect for anyone who's done with being a regular human, thank you very much — it's time for a fairy princess era, stat, and these sleeves are your one-way ticket to your sparkly kingdom. A set of flower petal dessert glasses so you can serve up little puddings, ice creams, and yogurt parfaits and decorate them with edible flowers for your Meghan Markle era. 🌸 Reviewers also use these for cocktails and juice! A vintage-inspired essential oil diffuser to waft calming scents through your space and add a subtle touch of ~quiet luxury~ by serving double time as decor. A flower-shaped pill organizer so cute that taking your medication will suddenly feel like the most ~~aesthetic~~ main character part of your routine. These feature a surprisingly large capacity, and the days are detachable so you can take pills on go! A set of pink tennis balls, because whether you're going full Wimbledon or chucking these around for your dog's entertainment, you DESERVE to be doing it as cutely as possible. 💕 Bonus: a portion of the proceeds will go to benefit breast cancer research! A coquette cocktail print so your bar can be every bit as cutesy, demure, and mindful as the rest of your life. (Well, so long as that espresso martini isn't in the picture.) A daisy-shaped dish brush with a lil' vase holder so cute that, fair warning, you can't use it without accidentally bursting into an iconic Disney princess song. (Dibs on all of Tangled.) A fairytale-worthy floral chiffon dress so dreamy that every time you wear it people will be like, "Wow, the wind was a paid actor." A set of silky soft faux tulips you can bend this way and that to make the *chef's kiss* perfect arrangement in your entryway or your bedside table, so you always come home or wake up to gorgeous buds without having to break the bank every week. A set of silicone teacup cupcake liners so you can have your cake and "drink" it, too. Reviewers loved these for tea parties and cupcake decorating parties! An adorable nonslip waterproof shelf liner for your fridge and pantry shelves to make cleanup a *snap* and instantly add some cheer to your kitchen space. A flower petal-shaped velvet chair so you can take "sitting pretty" as literally as possible. Reviewers love that the setup was a total breeze and that the chair is even comfier than it looks. An ornate baroque-style golden mirror for your entryway so you can blow your cute self a kiss on your way out the door every morning, and guests can "oooh" and "ahhh" at your good taste when they come to visit.

Treat Yourself: 44 Mood-Boosting Gift Ideas
A gold-plated station necklace from affordable (and fabulous) jewelry brand Pavoi, whose sole mission seems to be finding a way to glam up all of our looks without having to gobble up all of our dollars. A lightweight tinted lip balm with a touch of gloss that'll be perfect for anyone who wants to add some color to their pout but keep it looking au natural. It's super similar to the viral Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm. A box of limited edition Band-Aids that'll have you singing "You belong among the wildflowers" a la Tom Petty while applying one of these beauties to your scraped knees. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel to add to your skincare routine after taking a quick read of what incredible ingredients lie within — we're talkin' a beautiful marriage of caffeine and hyaluronic acid that'll wake your eyes up faster than chugging a cold brew. A satin pillowcase that'll reduce friction between your hair/skin and your pillow (which will reduce frizz and breakouts and keep you lookin' in tip-top shape). Not to mention it'll feel silky smooth against your cheeks when you hit the hay. Bow-shaped hair clips that'll make even your worst hair days feel a bit more aesthetic — they're so strong you'll find yourself bowing down to their greatness. Poems of Parenting, a book of relatable poems that'll have any new or seasoned parent laughing, crying, and feeling ALL the things. It perfectly captures what it's like to be a parent in today's world in hilarious but emotional sentiments you'll find yourself sending pics of to your mom squad with the same fervor you do memes on Insta. A scented cuticle oil infused with real flowers for anyone who wants to hydrate, moisturize, and strengthen their cuticles while also literally embracing the "florals for spring" vibe. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process. An ice cream cozy, because your cravings for frozen sweet treats are a year-round kinda thing. Use this helpful friend to happily hold onto your favorite pint without freezing your fingers off. A dazzling candle warmer with a lampshade reminiscent of a high-end crystal chandelier you'd likely see in the middle of a ballroom on Bridgerton. More importantly, you won't need to keep a stash of matches on hand *and* your fave candle will last basically forever since it won't actually be burning down when you pair it with this gadget. A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club," I mean your kitchen, and by "us," I mean myself (I'm reserving for my annual viewing of Titanic). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything you throw in it at record speed. Chop, chop! Julep Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick for anyone who has always wanted to make shimmery eyeshadow their *thing* but has never been able to apply it without the glitter getting all over their face. This stick is fantastic as it glides on like a cream but dries as a powder. A mini belted pack that'll force you to stop overpacking your bag with things you simply don't need for a quick stroll or trip to Target — it'll fit your wallet, keys, phone, hand sanitizer, and lip balm (the *actual* essentials). Leave your 10-foot-long CVS coupon and half-eaten granola bar in your tote bag, OK? A Rifle Paper Co. umbrella so you can shield yourself from the rain in style — these all come in gorgeous patterns that'll actually have you *hoping* it rains so you can show it off! A stylish mini skort starring built-in shorts that'll protect you from having an unwanted Marilyn Monroe moment the next time a big ol' gust of wind comes along. Classic round sunglasses to add into your daily rotation now that the sunshine is back and ready to play — you'll look cooler than cool in these babies while also protecting your eyes ☀️. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only FIVE DOLLARS. Faux tulips no one will realize aren't the real deal (unless they take a sniff of 'em). They'll add a fun pop of color into your room and help you feel like you're shaking the winter cobwebs off for good. Or an aesthetic vase boasting flowers of its own — your supermarket bouquet will look simply breathtaking when placed in this beauty. Heeled mule sandals with braided straps that are quite similar to the popular Dolce Vita pair (but for waaaaaay less). Just think of how stunning they'll look with all your lil' spring numbers and how great your wallet will feel when it's not empty from spending all your money on shoes. 😉 Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer that'll have anyone wondering, "Where has this been all of my life?" You can use it to make cold brew or hot coffee without the need for a bulky, countertop machine. It doesn't even need to be plugged in or charged! And Disney tumbler glasses featuring none other than Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck — fill 'em up with iced coffee, lemonade, or whatever other refreshing beverage you prefer to add some extra magic into your day-to-day. A set of tiny strawberry candles that'll have you singing "I want more berriessssss and that summer feelinnnnng" a la Harry Styles each time you light one — and who could blame you?! They're freakin' adorable. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — The Complete Official Guide — is an absolute must-have for anyone who has been playing (and loving!) the latest installment of the saga. Even if you've already beaten the game, this will get you all kinds of compliments when your pals/fellow gamers spot it on your coffee table. A cute cropped high neck tank top that'll become your go-to for all of your summer activities — good thing it comes in a ton of colors so you can stock up! It's made of a super soft material you won't be able to get enough of. Paw Paw Wonder Blender makeup sponges to ensure you'll never find yourself without the *perfect* foundation applicator. Reviewers say it's a great alternative to the ever-popular Beauty Blender and adore that it comes with six in the pack. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke's on them! A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!" Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick to reduce the under-eye circles and puffiness you're prone to having if "Sleepy" is your middle name, but you're simply not catching enough Zzzs these days. A big shout out to the glacial waters it's formulated with, amiright? An airplane phone holder you can clip onto the tray in front of you whenever you travel — never stress about only owning wireless headphones again! No need to *only* choose from the handful of meh movies the airline is showing. A Saucemoto dip clip, because eating fries while you're parked in your car just tastes better and you shouldn't have to sacrifice your favorite dipping sauce to do so! Thanks to this lil' clip you really can have it all. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," a must-have sensory fidget toy for anyone who can't seem to get their brain to focus on one task at a time. (Too many tabs open both literally and figuratively!) This lil' squish block is super satisfying to play with and reviewers love that it isn't sticky (no gross debris to try to clean off). A milk frother to pack a powerful, spinning punch despite looking rather delicate. It'll help transform your latte into one just like your favorite barista whips up for you at your go-to coffee shop. Delish. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, designed to channel the brand's ever-popular Cheirosa 62 but with a more woodsy vibe that's perhaps more fitting to YOUR preference. It has delectable notes of sandalwood and vanilla orchid — so good you'll want to bask in your own scent all day. A silly windshield shade that'll keep your car cool while making it look like all four of the Golden Girls are cruising around — want to place bets that they're headed to pick up a cheesecake??? A pair of wireless sleep headphones, because we're basically living in the future — you can listen to music, a podcast, or your go-to comfort show (helloooo endless hours of Gilmore Girls) to help you fall asleep without fruitlessly attempting to get cozy with earbuds bulging out of your ears. Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque, which will feel more like a science experiment than a beauty product — the results will have you absolutely baffled! You simply apply the mask in a fun shade of blue (but fear not, that's not the final color), then peel it off to reveal a perfectly pink pout that'll stay in place despite whatever eating/drinking plans you've got lined up. An Icebreaker gadget to ensure you'll always have fresh ice at your finger tips — simply fill it, pop it into the freezer, use the handles to crack the ice (once it has frozen, obvs) then pour the cubes directly into your drink! It's leakproof and dishwasher safe. Menore Slippers featuring squishy bottoms you'll find *so* comfortable whether you're wearing them around the house or prancing around in the rain — they're made of a material that'll dry quickly so no need to fear surprise showers. A boxed set of The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbooks, perfect for anyone who would basically give their kidney away if it meant being able to chow down on a Mickey-shaped pretzel right about now. A sandwich cutter and sealer that'll make it easier than ever to make Smuckers Uncrustables copycats at home — embrace your love of kid-friendly meals once and for all! A Bluey coloring book filled with 64 (!!!) images you can work on while watching your favorite episodes of the show. And if your favorite episode isn't one with The Grannies in it... you have poor taste. And snail teabag holders that'll prevent your tea bag string from *~slippin' into the lava~* AKA your steaming tea. Reviewers also love adding them to their potted plants — s'cute.

If You Love Living In The Lap Of Luxury But Your Bank Account Isn't There Yet, Check Out These 42 Worthy Swaps
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Little luxuries don't have to have a luxurious price tag. 1. $20 Old Navy jellies that'll look a whole lot like the $800+ The Row's Mara netted flats to help your old dogs breathe a bit while you work toward being able to actually afford the Olsen Twins' stylish creations. (I just ordered these for myself!) Get them from Old Navy for $19.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and five colors). 2. A CZ tennis bracelet with tons of reviewers who say it can pass as actual diamonds. Listen, you want a glamorous stack but you don't have to choose between that and a long weekend at a beach resort. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan of this brand! Here is what she has to say about their pieces: " For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my 'daily wear' jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's lin e of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!" 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). 3. E.l.f. Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. I can confirm that it STAYS put on my lashes until I want it gone. (Even the best of waterproof mascaras make me look like a raccoon after a few hours.) Then, it's super easy to remove the "tubes" with a few gentle swipes. I'll be buying this stuff again and as long as they make it. Here's Emma Lord 's review that convinced me: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 4. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder made with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts that'll foam up and *gently* polish skin, giving you similar results to the $68 Dermalogica version. You can use it up to four times a week to see (and feel) the benefits without harsh scrubs or panicking a little bit at your Ulta total. Amazon Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. To use the powder, mix a teaspoon with a few drops of water until it foams, then massage in gentle circles on your face before rinsing. Promising review: "This is the best thing since sliced bread. I am on bottle number three. My face routine is forever changed. I pray they never raise their prices. This is akin to Dermoligica, but like half the price. Get it, don't hesitate." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $16. 5. A beaded shoulder bag in case you've added a similar Staud one to cart about a million times but haven't been able to checkout just yet. The brand's beaded bags became instant classics but you can get a little splurgey at Anthro without having to completely upend your monthly budget on a (gorgeous) $295 bag. You could get three of these at that price (if you wanted). Anthropologie Promising review: "Obsessed with this purse! And a reasonably priced option for such a popular bag trend right now. Good size to fit essentials like phone/wallet." — Jacscott15 Get it from Anthropologie for $98 (available in 10 styles). 6. A set of wrist and ankle weights will feel like an extra fun accessory after you look up how the pricing ($22-ish) compares to similar Bala Bangles ($50-ish). Slip on these before you take a stroll with a pal to get in your steps. Just be prepared for the onslaught of compliments by passersby. The weights are covered with a sweatproof, skin-friendly silicone layer that's comfortable, and the adjustable elastic band helps you get the right fit. You can even remove weights as well if needed! Promising review: "I love these! So great for yoga or mat Pilates. I like that they are 2 pounds each, which is the perfect weight, and you can even take off weight as well. I use them every week for my workouts. Very durable band as well!" — Robyn Get a pair from Amazon for $22.79+ (available in two sizes and 14 colors). 7. Nortiv 8 walking shoes with the pillowy comfort and bold color combos of Hokas on the cheap, so you can splurge a little bit on that boutique boxing class this week instead of shelling out more for the name-brand shoes. Promising reviews: " Like a cloud ☁️ These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn; it feels like a pillow hugging your foot. The same day they were delivered, I ordered another pair in a different color. I'm a healthcare worker and these are perfect for standing and being on your feet a lot. Walking feels very smooth and low impact. I never leave reviews on anything, but these are amazing." — Ian Durham "As someone who owns a pair of Hokas, in my opinion, these are better. I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these! For half the price and comfort I will 100% recommend these to anyone." — Jennifer Emilien Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors). 8. Sliick Ingrown Rescue Solution to halt painful (and unsightly) ingrown hairs before you realize they've rudely shown up on your first beach day of the year, no matter how you're DIY-ing hair removal. AND it's half the price of holy grail Tend Skin Amazon Promising review: " I have terrible ingrown hairs. This product changes the game! I use it every time I get out of the shower, put a little on a cotton pad, and wipe in the waxed area. It brings any ingrown hairs to the surface. Consistency is a key to using this product." — Amanda Hudson Get it from Amazon for $9.66. 9. Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it " Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Check out a TikTok of the Oxo Rapid Brewer in action. Promising review: "I'm in love with various forms of coffee preparation and I've tried all forms of equipment to make them at home. If asked what I prefer for a quick cappuccino, that's easy. This Oxo Rapid Brewer. I've played with my Aeropress for over two decades, including all the necessary add-ons and doo-dads to get close to what this machine does on the first attempt. Get comfortable with a bag of fresh beans, a quality burr grinder, and friends. Do rounds of blind taste tests. I think you'll agree." — Cynthia Get it from Amazon for $33.93. 10. Self-Tanner for some super-easy-to-apply color that'll develop in an hour. No need to book a (costly) spray tan appointment. (Psst, reviewers who've previously sworn by St. Tropez products have made the switch!) Promising review: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.48+ (available in 11 styles). 11. A trendy tote bag that'll give Longchamp Le Pliage vibes for about a sixth of the price. This bag silhouette is SO handy and practical but looks sophisticated, even if you've got some Flamin' Hot Cheetos in there that's your only potluck contribution to your pal's bday picnic. 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 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). 12. A cherry bag charm can add a lil' razzle-dazzle to your plain bag that's just not doing it for you anymore. Just let your work nemesis assume that it's the $95 Coach charm. You can see a similar one on TikTok! Promising review: "I was really debating buying the $95 one but figured I spent enough on the bag, so I decided to just get a replica for the cherry. I'm so glad I did! It looks almost exactly like it except for the slight change in hardware color. The quality seems great, and it looks sturdy. I love it! It really gives the bag an extra nice touch." — Oriana Pineda Get it from Amazon for $12.98. 13. A cute two-piece pajama set in super soft fabric if you LOVE the look of $128 Roller Rabbit PJs but just can't personally justify spending that much money on something you wear to bed, no matter how comfy and cute it might be! Promising review: " So cute and comfy. I was surprised at the excellent quality. The weight is just perfect from spring until fall. I'm naturally normally cold all of the time and it's been chilly in Texas the last couple of weeks and these are fine. So comfortable, I feel like I sleep better." — H Mclemurry Get them from Amazon for $17.69+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL and 34 patterns). 14. An Elizavecca hair treatment to give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.) Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like. Promising review:"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn't worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can't beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that's been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB Get it from Amazon for $7.60. 15. A long-sleeve bodysuit will wrap you up in an incredibly soft fabric that reviews oft compare to Skims. AND it's supportive enough so you can wear it without a bra, which is always a great thing! Promising review: "Are you kidding me? This is the softest, most comfortable body suit I've ever owned. I got so many compliments lol; everyone did think they were Skims lol, but it's definitely worth every penny. I love and will be getting more colors!!! You need it." — Wendy L. Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 14 colors). And check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here. 16. Plus, a stretchy bodycon pencil dress with heaps of Skims comparisons for the shape and stretch. I'm guessing this is what Morticia Addams would wear to an all-inclusive beach resort. 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 seven colors). 17. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion for a super glowy, sunkissed look EVEN if work and maintaining a social life has you feeling like a vampire. No need to keep swinging by Sephora for a free sample of Drunk Elephant's bronzing drops because reviewers say this is a great cheaper alt. (We've all pulled that sample trick!) 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 Bronzing 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). 18. A baroque-inspired mirror to instantly dress up an entry or hallway. The gilded frame looks equally great hung on a wall or atop a console. And every time you gaze upon your reflection in it, you can think about the dough you saved by opting for this one over the more expensive Anthro version. Promising review: "This mirror is gorgeous and very well-made. It feels heavier than I expected, so I used a 3M Claw to hang it and it's definitely secure. Looks exactly like the picture. I wanted the Anthropologie Primrose mirror but couldn't stomach the price tag, even with deep discounts from their home outlet pop up. This is an excellent alternative, so definitely worth it." — Jillian Coneys Get it from Amazon for $85.89+ (available in 10 sizes and five finishes). 19. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate & Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment. 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). 20. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter that'll free up a bit of coin if you've been eyeing Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter as a glow-getter on a budget. This stuff has hyaluronic acid and squalane to give you that lit-from-within for less than the cost of a pricey chopped salad from that place beside your office. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and squalene for a boost of hydration! Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I've gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes I use it under foundation and sometimes I use it solo with a bit of concealer. I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" — mapagill "If you like Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter, this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it, you will be happy you did!" — Amazonreview Get it from Amazon for $7.84+ (available in 12 shades). 21. A faux-leather bag you'll do a double-take on because it's verrrry similar to Polène's Cyme you've been stalking online and thought, "Welp, I could buy this instead of flying to my college roommate's wedding" before buying that flight. Promising review: "I bought this bag looking for something similar to 'that one brand' that was affordable. This bag is absolutely gorgeous and looks identical. When I opened the box, it smelt a bit weird, but I took a leather cleaner/conditioner to the bag with a microfiber cloth, and it no longer smelt, and she looked nice and shiny. It took me a while to figure out how to organize my things as it is a unique shape, but once it was organized, I loved it." — lisa keegan Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in nine colors and two sizes). 22. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks that'll pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious. Promising reviews: "BESTIES, if you don't own these socks yet, buy them NOW! I purchased these over and over again after finding them. They beat every other ankle sock I've tried in comfort, durability, and price! They are the perfect height on my ankles and look great with every shoe or slipper. A NEED!" — Carly Mabli "These are an alternative to the TNA Aritzia socks. They look identical and are very comfy and stylish. I love to pair these with sneakers and Birkenstock Boston clogs. Will order again." — Sabrina Marie Good Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in women's sizes 5–9 or 8–12 and in two colors). 23. Slingback heels to add an air of sophistication to a simple outfit. We're not on a Chanel budget, but that's perfectly fine and normal! These beauts will help you chase that feeling AND turn out to be super versatile so you'll have a pretty low cost per wear. 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 it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in six colors). 24. And while we're chasing that feeling, a quilted leather crossbody purse can scratch a Chanel-ish itch while adding an affordable purse into your wardrobe rotation. Promising review: "I purchased this bag because of the Chanel look, and I've gotten lots of compliments on it. I'm glad I purchased." — Carollpickard Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 17 colors). 25. A glitzy long-sleeve sequin dress in case you marveled at the $765 16Arlington dress Hailey Bieber wore but gasped out loud when you looked at the price. This under-$100 version is just begging to make an appearance in a loud, dark club somewhere in Europe. 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). 26. A faux-pearl choker that's a dead-ringer for a Vivienne Westwood piece you can easily add to all kinds of outfits that are missing something. Mystery solved. Promising review: "Run Forrest run!! Don't walk!! This is a perfect Vivienne Westwood [alternative]. I bought this when I didn't have enough money for the real one but unless if you do a microscopic closeup of the two, this necklace is the literal perfect [copy] of the original. It feels pretty weighty and doesn't tarnish easily. The size is also perfect and the color matches the real one better than the other ones in the market. The packaging was also super cute and protective." — Ziaaaa Get a two-pack (gold and silver) from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two other styles). 27. Some sharp- looking pointed-toe flats with similar comfy, machine-washable features to pricier Rothy's or Vivaia flats. You'll be glad you packed these to get you from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Towel on a long but gorgeous scenic view! And when you get home, you can toss 'em in the wash to look like new for your next adventure! Promising reviews: "I have several pairs of Rothy's in a very similar style to these, and they are actually just as comfortable right out of the box as Rothy's…maybe more so. I also purchased in black. LOVE THEM!!" — Amazon Customer "I couldn't be happier with these flats! As a result of them dropping in price, I purchased four pairs in varying colors to wear with jeans and sweaters. Not only do they look cute, but they are also decently padded and comfortable. I have been buying Vivaia flats for over $100 and these look just as good and are more comfortable to wear." — PSK Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in women's sizes 6–10 and 14 colors and patterns). 28. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses your nemesis will mistake for the $400+ Miu Miu ones, which is fine. Let 'em think that and put that extra cash toward whatever else you want. Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They're lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I've received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" — Arsalan sheikh Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five styles and two packs). 29. Or some oversized square sunnies if you've been admiring the Bottega Veneta version but have such a horrible track record with keeping sunglasses in fighting shape that you can't in good conscience spend hundreds on a pair. Promising review:"Love these so so much. I wanted the chic Bottega Veneta designer pair, but these look exactly like those for less than $20. Deal of the century. They are comfortable and extremely well made and I seriously can't get over the price. I'm thinking about buying another color because I love them so much." — Kam Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 14 lens colors). 30. A pair of satin block-heeled dress shoes you'd mistake for some Loeffler Randall heels if you didn't buy them yourself! Reviewers also say that the supportive straps mean you can still make all kinds of moves. A wedding dance floor hates to see you coming. Promising review:"I bought these beautiful shoes to wear to my 50th wedding anniversary brunch. They looked really beautiful and elegant. They are really comfortable; I wore them for at least 5–6 hours, and I had no achy feet or tired legs. I'm over 70 years old, and I'm not in 3-inch heels too often. Also, I saw a designer version of this shoe in a department store, and they were over $250." — Beverly Triplett Get them from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and in seven colors). 31. A velvet V-neck maxi dress that'd make a perfect bridesmaid dress. Or just a wedding guest dress! You're already paying [redacted] to attend the Nashville bachelorette. We don't need to spend $400 on a dress too. Promising review: "This is [very similar to a] Jenny Yoo dress and it's absolutely perfect. Quality is on par with more expensive brands. Not cheap like I expected. I wore it for family pictures and am keeping it to hopefully wear again because I love it so much!!! Don't spend a couple of hundred dollars on this same style, buy this one!" — KymberlyJanelle Get it from Amazon for $86.98 (available in women's sizes 0–30 and in eight colors). 32. Slip-on mules because you're not allowed to wear sneakers to the office (I'm emailing HR on your behalf) but don't do heels. You'll get all kinds of use out of these comfy alts to the pricier Madewell Gemma mules without having to MAKE yourself wear them enough times just to make yourself feel better about dropping serious dough on them. 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 $36.97 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and five colors). 34. A multipurpose blush stick you can try out to create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content. Promising review: "I bought this and my daughter immediately tried to steal it because she thought it was the real thing. Ha! This is so easy to use and a little goes a long way. This will last for a while. And was a fraction of the price of the brand name." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three shades). 35. Cushionaire slides to help satisfy your old dogs' yearning for comfy Birks (there are 1k+ reviews comparing them) for significantly less. Promising reviews: " Like walking on a cloud. These are the most comfortable sandals I have ever owned. I have plantar fibroma, which makes wearing shoes extremely uncomfortable. These are great, providing arch support and a comfortable walk. My feet stay in place without sliding side to side. The soles don't squeak when walking on polished floors. I bought two colors and, for the price, may add a few more." — S. R. F. "I have six pairs of Birkenstocks and just didn't want to spend that kind of money this time. These sandals are actually more comfortable than my Birkenstocks. They have added padding on the insole. I think they were almost 1/3 of the price. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $35.99 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles). 36. A "Soft" perfume rollerball that's definitely made an appearance or five in your FYP scroll. It's only $5 and smells totally delightful (it gets compared to sweet treats like waffle cones). BUT! That's not the only reason to love it. It reminds reviewers of the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀 and layers like a dream. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $5.29 (available in two styles). 37. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation. Amazon Promising review: "I've used Glow Recipe's Watermelon Dew Drops, and while I liked the product, I wasn't too fond of the strong scent or the price point. The texture, finish, and feel of this product is pretty much identical, but without the fragrance and at a better value. Smooth, absorbs quickly, works well as a lightweight primer that doesn't pill with makeup, and subtly evens skin tone over time." — K.C. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 38. A plated ring with just a bit of glitz that'll help you channel the Cartier look without affecting your financial planning goals like the real-deal would. 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). 39. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume because you thought about shelling out for YSL's Black Opium but your budget said no despite all your other perfume bottles being on empty. 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 Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in two sizes). 40. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Check out a TikTok of the Briotech spray in action. Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed not only the irritation but the stye went away as well. Any sort of blemish or acne is taken care of with this simple inexpensive spray. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, which is the exact same ingredient in the Briotech spray for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466 Get it from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in four sizes and in multipacks). 41. Some mid-weight sweatpants in case you wanna bring some luxe feel to your couch-rotting. Folks on TikTok compare these to Aritzia's for a fraction of the price. Everyone wear sweats but they don't have to be expensive sweats. Check them out on TikTok here. Promising reviews: "I literally love these. I've had them for six months and wear them almost every day. Still very soft, no pilling or shrinking. Love these." — Peyton "They are really thick and warm. Very, very good quality. The colors are pretty and they are so cozy. Perfect for my chilly house and the pockets are awesome. I love these sweat pants! Order them!!" — T. Jo Get them from Amazon for $33.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in six colors; check out the matching zip hoodie here). 42. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt that'll run you far less than Lulu's $118 scuba hoodies. Promising review: "So TikTok made me buy this + seeing it over and over again on the Amazon Best Sellers tab. I finally took the plunge to buy it. I love this jacket so much. It literally is comparable to my $80 Aritzia jacket for so much cheaper! I love how soft it is on the inside! Super fuzzy and warm. I love the collar, it's stylish, and I love to give it a little flip over. The zipper is quality, too! I love the contrast of the black and white. I loved this jacket so much that I came back and bought it in white after buying the apricot color. I would highly recommend it to literally everyone. I bought the same size as my Aritzia jacket, which was a size medium. It fits me perfectly with an oversized look!" — Kate Dumas Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 24 styles). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

12+ Amazon jewelry finds that look luxe but cost under $20
It makes sense to drop a boatload of cash on certain jewelry pieces — engagement rings, we're looking at you. But having a drawer full of more attainable pieces to play around with is also fun. Translation: Necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings that are affordable enough that you won't be devastated if they get lost or damaged. Let us explain: Jewelry is a quick and easy way to take your outfit to the next level. Add a simple chain necklace to a summer dress for a chic, minimalist look. Or, create an arm party by stacking many bracelets on your wrist for a more free-spirited vibe. One of the best places to find affordable jewelry is Amazon. Yup, you read that right. The online retailer has many highly rated necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings in various styles and vibes. Below, find some of our favorites. How we picked spring and summer jewelry from Amazon When searching for spring and summer jewelry on Amazon, we prioritized the following things: Price: Affordability was one of our biggest priorities. With this in mind, every piece on our list is under $20. Style: We gathered necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings in different metals (silver, rose gold and gold) to meet different preferences. We also looked for pieces with different vibes — from simple to more ornate. Ratings: All of the jewelry that made the cut has a 4-star average rating or above from at least a few hundred customer reviews. Spring and summer necklaces from Amazon Ava Riley Layered Necklaces This set comes with three necklaces to wear together for a layered look. There are 28 different designs and metal color combos available, but each set comes with a shorter, medium and long necklace. Wear them all together or pick one for an even simpler look. Embrace spring with this daisy necklace. The daisies are made from faux pearls and are connected by a delicate chain made from gold-plated stainless steel. It can be adjusted to be worn as a choker or longer if you want it to hang down a bit. This necklace is also available with hearts instead of flowers. Pavoi Heart Necklace Speaking of hearts, this simple necklace is plated with 14K gold and features a small heart in the center. It is available in gold, rose gold or silver and the chain is 18 inches long. The materials used are also hypoallergenic, so it shouldn't irritate skin, according to the brand. This necklace has a 4.4-star average rating from 8,340 reviews on Amazon. Spring and summer earrings from Amazon Mumreues Gold Studs These hypoallergenic studs are made from 14K gold-plated brass and have a crisscross design that's simple but far from boring. They're intended to fit close to the lobe and can be dressed up and down. The studs come in gold, rose gold or silver and have a 4.4-star average rating from over 825 reviews on Amazon. Get the look of multiple piercings even if you only have one with this huggie-style earring, which is intended to look like three separate small hoops. The center hoop is plain gold, while the outer hoops have cubic zirconia details for sparkle. The earrings have a 4.3-star average rating from over 5,035 reviews, with many people remarking they're impressed with how luxe the earrings look. BaubleStar Stone Drop Earrings Add a pop of color to your spring or summer look with these drop earrings. They feature a colored stone set in gold-plated alloy. You can choose from 10 different colored stones — including rosy pink, light green and sky blue. The earrings are lightweight, so they won't pull on your lobes and come with a rubber backing so the hook won't poke you, according to the brand. Spring and summer bracelets from Amazon DearMay Gold Bracelet Set Stacked bracelets make a statement, but picking a bunch that go together can be tricky. This set takes the guesswork out of it. You get six gold-plated bracelets that are all different but complementary. Wear them together or one at a time, depending on your mood. The bracelets are 6.5 inches long and have a 2-inch extender for those with larger wrists. They have a 4.4-star average rating from 3,254 reviews on Amazon. This bracelet features strips of leather with gold hardware for an edgy vibe. It has a magnetic clasp that's easy to put on by yourself, according to the brand. The bracelet is handmade and made with real leather. It has a 4.4-star average rating from 10,014 reviews. Monozo Initial Bracelet Jewelry is a great way to add a personalized touch to your look. This bracelet includes a delicate chain with a small disk with your chosen initial. It comes in silver- or gold-plated brass and is hypoallergenic so it won't irritate skin, according to the brand. Barzel Statement Ring Available in ring sizes 5 through 10, this 18K gold-plated ring is made in Brazil and features multiple gold bands that all come together in the back. It is lightweight, making it comfortable for all-day wear and available in silver or rose gold. It has a 4.1-star average rating from over 6,530 reviews on Amazon. Pavoi Twisted Eternity Band I prefer not to travel with my engagement and wedding rings, so I bought this simple eternity band to take with me. It has a twisted design and cubic zirconia details that have a surprising amount of sparkle. It's streamlined enough that I can stack it with other rings and it has never left my finger discolored after wearing it for long periods. I have the silver, which is also available in gold or rose gold. Mytys Cocktail Ring Make a statement with this large flower ring. The metal is shaped to look like a rose, and it takes up a substantial amount of space on your finger so that everyone will notice it. The ring is also free of nickel and lead, which can often turn skin green if they're in jewelry. Why trust NBC Select?

Promising review: "This is the cutest planter. I have a pothos that just is thriving, so I got these to repot some of it.
