Even though it's a hideous 60 degrees in this part of the country -- and yes, I do realize it's almost June and that's it's sick, very, very sick, to be so chilly out -- I yearn to hit the beach. Instead I'll stay in and self-tan and buy cute beachwear online. Helping to accentuate my faux tan will be this incredibly cute Kelly green Hawaiian mini skirt. Pair it with a plain white tank and you've got yourself a great alternative to the cutoffs or cheesy cover-up you'd normally throw on top of your swimsuit. Scoop it up for just $24 at the Kentucky-based (I bet it's warm there, grrr) geneccentric.com.

The trickiest thing about spring is the inconsistency with the weather. Some days it's warm, some days it's cold, which makes layering essential. The key: well-cut blazers, jackets and sweaters, like this aqua-hued motorcycle jacket. Well-cut, not too heavy, not too light and brilliantly blue, you can pop in it for $59.99 at overstock.com.

Mornings suck as it is. Which is why I make it a point to never, ever schedule anything before 2pm. It's just good common sense. But if you do have to drag yourself out of your cushy feather bed, you might as well do so with some semblance of humor. Here to help: these hilarious and adorable toasters, decked out with cow prints, pig faces and more. Apparently they're from France, and here we thought they only found Jerry Lewis to be funny.

Remember the drama of HBO's Project Greenlight series and how they made The Battle of Shaker Heights out to be some wretched disaster? And then the audience ratings were really low, too, making you want to see it even less? If not, just pretend and say "yes." Well I've just seen the movie -- finally -- and thought it was adorable and really well done. Not awful, not spectacular, just sweet and heart-warming like a movie should be, damnit. Lil Shia LeBeouf is quirky and irresistible, as was the whole tone of this coming-of-age flick. Rent it for a few bucks at the video store (do people under the age of 15 call it the DVD store by the way??), or cough up the $26.99 to buy the DVD on amazon.com -- or even better, snag a used copy for $9.99. Roll credits.

More than once I've claimed, "I'm too young to cook," when questioned about my poor dietary standards.

No longer shall I rifle through my junk drawer for my dinner options. Instead, I'll conveniently organize all my menus in this grease-resistant binder.

We dig these Hip 2B Tied belts ($58) and reversible hats ($80) by Hollywood costume designer Deborah Everton.

Oh, I'm picking up excitations all right. These 100% organic bath yummies are made by a registered nurse named Libby (hence the Libations moniker) in LA's artsy hipster community of Silverlake, California.

I'm declaring hardware the next trend in accessories. It's a nice contrast to the girly girl direction we've taken as of late (and that I love), plus it's what I'm using in my own next collection.
