Chances are, with the July 4th weekend looming just beyond our grasp, a bunch of you hauties will be traveling soon. It's bad enough that 95% of us in this world all have identical black luggage (bleh), so why make it worse by using airline-issued luggage tags? Step it up a notch, while making it loads easier to spot your luggage on that pesky taunting conveyor belt, by treating yourself and your bored and beaten luggage to a cool luggage tag. We like to show the love with these sweet and bright heart tags by one of our fave companies ever, iomoi. Score one (or a few) for yourself, in preppy green, powder pink, tangerine, ruby red or turquoise, for $25 each at iomoi.

BussBuss just got back from a quick jaunt to sunny London (no, that's not a joke -- it truly was blissful sunshine the entire time) and discovered that the whole deconstructed goddess look is very much in. Kind of ethereal, kind of hippie chic, and simply undeniably cool, Brits are surprisingly sporting strappy suede moccasin boots with their flowy dresses in place of sandals, despite the scorching temps. To boot or to sandal is up to you, but to get into the dress-y spirit, try this lovely frock from Forever 21. It's a steal for only $34.80 and comes in hunter green or black and features knotted straps on each shoulder and a flattering ruched bust. Toss on a cheapie white tank underneath, or dress it up with a sparkly sequin scarf. You'll be Brit-fabulous on this side of the Atlantic faster than you can scream 'cheerio!'

If you're in the market for a cool stool and storage, you'll be happier than a kid in a candy shop when you take a peek at these original stools.

Plus, it's hollow inside, so you can store your most random (or secret) possessions. Available in half white and half pink, green, red, orange or black for $79.99 at Target, for a limted time only.
