    1. An off-the-shoulder skater dress with a high-low hem to marry your two fashion preferences, comfy and stylish, for a knockout combo that'll stun at your next special event.

    2. A knotted headband that'll keep your hair under control when you're trying to snap an OOTD on a windy day *and* add a stylish touch to any hairdo — it's called "being lazy but looking 100%," look it up.

    3. Gorgeous gold leaf or pearl hair pins to elevate any bun from just messy to ~high class~.

    4. A burgundy velvet dress that would go perfectly with a red carpet — don't you think? Better perfect your poses, you gorgeous you.

    5. John Frieda Day 2 Revival products, so you can keep your meticulously-styled 'dos fresh and vibrant for longer — all of the formulas are super lightweight and work to refresh your waves/curls, absorb oil, and smooth away pesky flyaways.

    6. A pair of high-waisted faux leather leggings that'll amp up any ordinary top and take your outfit straight from meh to fab.

    14. A sheer-sleeved embroidered dress you can sort into the "too pretty NOT to wear" category of your wardrobe — your other dresses will definitely be jealous.

    15. Chic platform lace-up sneakers for when comfort is nonnegotiable, but you also want your shoes to be the ~focal point~ of your outfit.

    16. A Maybelline liquid lipstick that'll paint your pout with bold, rich color that could easily pass off as Kat Von D or Stila — and it doesn't fade throughout the day or feel tacky!

    17. A First Aid Beauty facial mist (made from soothing, hydrating, cooling, and antioxidant-rich ingredients like aloe, Rose of Jericho, kale, spinach, etc.) that'll keep your makeup from slipping off and keep your face looking refreshed and alive, no matter how few hours you slept — it'll be your little secret!

    25. A mini fabric steamer to keep your clothes free of wrinkles and other mishaps they've incurred as victims of being tossed without any regard (oops) — and best of all, it takes only a few minutes for your clothes to be wear-ready again!
