Gimme a W...Sale

Most hotel shops are filled with overpriced touristy tschotkes, but W hotels are not like most hotels and neither are its stores.

Filled not only with their signature bedding, towels and robes, but also with hip design-focused goods that cater to the clientele they attract, we love that we can shop their well-edited picks without going on vacay by simply clicking over to their website.

What did we find? Jonathan Adler vases, Mimobot flash drives, Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chairs, Rachel Leigh earrings, CC Skye cuffs, Comme des Garcon wallets and more.

Plus, there are two big deals happening right now.

One, a huge up to 80% off warehouse sale. We spotted Hand Maid by Michelle Frantz bags (originally $165, now $39.99) and CC Skye buckle cuffs (originally $168, now $62.99).

Two, get 40% off with coupon code 39Y9G (does not apply to sale items).

Three, shop now!

RX: Go Fug Yourself

Lately BussBuss has been battling nastyitis. We've been starving our persnickety colds and feeding our Nutella-binge-eating-inducing fevers, but no matter what we do, at times we're so delirious we feel like the disastrous result of Unfitney Spears mating with old skool Snoop Dogg. Which is to say, not good and not of sound mind.

And while, in general, we aim to be positively chic (emphasis on the positive), sometimes it really makes a sick girl feel better to know that other peeps have probs, too (sick, we know).

Which is why we highly recommend the new book The Fug Awards by the snarky masterminds behind GoFugYourself.com.

If you're not familiar with their addictive blog, which pokes fun at what celebutards wear, imagine the love children of Joan Rivers and Cojo and you have the Fug Girls, Heather Cocks (no, we didn't make that name up) and Jessica Morgan.

We've got some Nutella to finish off, so will just say this: We read the book yesterday and things are looking much brighter today.

Take a peek at GoFugYourself.com.

Get the book here!

101 Things to Do Before You're Old and Boring & My Friends are Prettier than Yours

We're in the mood for fun.

Which is why we're loving the book 101 Things to Do Before You're Old and Boring and the photo album My Friends are Prettier than Yours.

They're cute little reminders to lighten up and never grow up too much. And they make great birthday gifts for your besties.

Available at Urban Outfitters.

Nina,

What underground advice/secret/tip would you give to a jewelry designer regarding how to get their designs featured in Elle?

As a jewelry designer, there is a good bit of information available regarding launching into the business but nearly nothing on how to get their product in the pages of magazines. Will a grass-roots attempt be a shot in the dark or is it necessary to take out a loan and hire a PR agency?
