Clinique Bonus Time at Macy's


Clinique Bonus Time at Macy's

It's Clinique Bonus Time at Macy's stores and macys.com. Get a free 7-Piece Gift valued at $60 with any Clinique purchase of $21.50 or more.

All gifts include Even Better Moisturizer Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer, Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, and High Lengths Mascara. Pick your palette of eye and lip shades that best enhances your skin's undertone: warm for skins with a golden cast, cool for skins with a pink cast. I kinda wish they'd include lip gloss in these gifts instead of lipstick all the time but I might go get this for the cute case (like I need another one!).

Remember, these gifts are one-per-person while supplies last. Head to macys.com for details.

Zac Posen for Target in People StyleWatch Mag

The April 2010 issue of People StyleWatch magazine brings us highlights from the Zac Posen for Target collection, available in Target stores and online April 25th. "Celebs like Rihanna, Anne Hathaway and Rachel Bilson love Posen's feminine, impeccably tailored designs," the caption reads. "This new collection highlights his flair for bold details with a retro feel—for less ($16.99 - $199.99)!" I was feeling lukewarm about this collection at first but the excitement is building. The dresses look perfect for warm summer evenings. Are you excited? Keep reading to see close-up shots of all the items.

Off the Rack: DwellStudio for Target Decorative Pillows

In the midst of the Liberty of London frenzy still ensuing at Target, you might overlook what might be an even more impressive collection of throw pillows from Dwell Studio for Target's spring collection. In smart, subdued color combinations, these luxe-looking home accessories feature remarkable detailing like floral appliques, stylish stitching, cut-outs and embroidery that make each one a work of art. What's more remarkable is that these ample-sized, reversible pillows—many with a removable cover—are just $24.99 each. Love them all!

The Look for Less: Melissa Joy Manning Druzy Agate Ring



Melissa Joy Manning at ShopStyle


Handcrafted by Melissa Joy Manning, this limited-edition ring features a stunning black druzy agate set in 14kt gold atop a hammered band. $468 at FreePeople.com.



Forever 21 at ShopStyle


If you can't spring for the real deal, Forever 21 has a similar style ring called the Crystal Rock Ring for $10.80 in either black or purple faux-crystal. The green is already sold out so I imagine this popular style will sell out quickly. Click any image to shop.
