So, I guest posted for my friend The Nester today about my girlfriends’ Favorite Things Party.  In honor of that post, I wanted to share a few of my favorite things under $30.  Head to the link about to see what I gave my friends, hint: it was just under $5–totally buyable for 5 people.

Now, onto my slightly more expensive favorite things (all under $30).

Clockwise from Top Left:  Deborah Lippman “Happy Birthday” Nail Lacquer ($18), Grey Cashmere Camellia ($14.50), Kid’s Mulu Scarf ($19), and Gussy’s Medium Pouch ($26.50).

And, because it’s not finished without the why:

Happy Birthday Nail Lacquer: I love this nail polish more than is healthy.  It is the spunkiest thing ever.  Ask for it for Christmas.  I realize it may as well be a billion dollars…you know, spending $18 on nail polish!

Grey Cashmere Camellia: These look beautiful pinned in a bunch on your winter coat.  Winter gets long here in the Midwest…flowers on your coat make it more cheerful.

Kid’s Mulu Scarf:  a.  I know it is branded as a kid’s scarf, but it is plenty long if you are on the petite side.  b.  It has stripes…and you know how much I love stripes.  ;)  c.  Your purchase benefits the women in Africa who make these scarves as their livelihood.

Gussy’s Medium Pouch:  Polka dots and ruffles.  It doesn’t really get much better, right?
