@budgetbabe on Twitter, you may have seen my desperate plea for help in picking a polish to go with my outfit last night (Rodarte for Target lace-print dress topped with a black leather jacket). The options: A deep, dark, almost-black Merlot or a brilliant, colorful coral. The resounding response? A unanimous vote for
coral! (Thanks, tweepettes!)
Since a couple people asked me for the exact shade, it's called Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Kook-A-Mango, which I picked up exactly one year ago to the day at Walmart for about $7 (if I remember correctly). It's still in stores now and if you're looking for an electric coral nail polish, you're going to adore Kook-A-Mango. I love that you can get away with one coat if you're in a hurry, and it lasts for days. Sally Hansen is my bff.

I have looked high and low for a necklace similar to the David Yurman Cable Collectible Initial Necklace ($595) that wasn't as expensive but can't find anything more than a small stamped disk necklace on etsy. I was hoping to find one for my sister's birthday at the end of this month. —Sarah
Initial pendants make great gifts because they're personal and can be worn alone or layered with other jewelry. Here are some affordable options that I think your sister will love:
