Fashion icon-in-the-making Kate Middleton wore a timeless Burberry trench coat on a recent trip to Belfast. Whether your style is classic or contemporary, there's a trench that's right for you. Keep reading for 5 of my favorites, affordably priced under $200.

Earlier I showed you some of the best handbags at my local T.J.Maxx, now here's a look at some of the highlights from the shoe department. Designer brands spotted on this trip included Coach, Jessica Simpson, Talbots (that's a first for me), MICHAEL Michael Kors, Nine West and BCBGeneration. Many of the latest trends were readily available in all sizes, from nude pumps and peep-toes to embellished flats and wedge sandals. For all you Jack Rogers fans, I spotted a few knockoffs by a brand called A. Gianne, made of genuine Italian leather for $39.99. Click through for more footcandy, anything catch your eye? What shoe styles are you desperately seeking this spring?

St. Patrick's Day is today and JewelMint, created by the actress/stylist duo Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter, want to get in on the holiday cheer with an exclusive giveaway!

Starting today, March 17th, JewelMint will be giving away 7 pieces of jewelry to 7 Lucky winners lasting 7 days (until March 23rd).

Tweet #JewelMintlucky7 and follow @jewelmint on Twitter to enter! One winner will be chosen at random at the end of each day of the contest.

For a $30 membership, JewelMint subscribers can pick one piece of jewelry per month from their personalized virtual showroom. This e-commerce model is part of a growing trend which includes sites like SendTheTrend.com (Christian Siriano) and ShoeDazzle.com (Kim Kardashian).

Maybe it's the commitment-phobe in me, but I have yet to sign up for any of these subscriber shopping sites. I'd rather just shop at a variety stores and pick things that appeal to me and my ever-changing moods.

Have you tried JewelMint? Are you a fan?

Revlon was kind enough to send us some of their new product, CustomEyes Shadow & Liner, for review recently; our resident beauty maven (aka my sister Chantal) puts them to the test. —BB



by Chantal B.
Six different sets of colors offer a lot of different options, and there is definitely a palette to suit everyone's taste. Cute, compact and easy to use with a helpful numbered picture on the back, Revlon's new CustomEyes kits are a great way to learn how to apply different shadow colors to different parts of the eye area to create fun, flirty or dramatic looks. The color mixing in each palette is really spot on - you can tell they took the time to pick colors that will look really fantastic together (and makes my life easy so I don't have to worry about mixing two colors that will look freaky).

But not all the palettes seem to be created equal. There are some that are fantastic, some that I will accept for the price and one that just disappoints.

DEAL: Save big on Stuart Weitzman's elegant shoes for style that never goes out of fashion.
WHERE: Gilt Groupe
DATES: Sale starts promptly today 3/16 at 12 noon ET and ends 3/18 midnight ET; arrive on time for the best selection!
