A shopping blog of cool gift ideas

When it comes to jelly shoes, I had a pair in the '80s and then another in the '90s and well…apparently it's time to buy another pair. This time around jellies have been given the designer treatment, so they're more comfortable and better looking than the ones I sported.

I especially love these colorful Maui Jelly Flip Flops by Kate Spade. The sandals are just as cute as the jellies of old (brightly colored, made of rubber, easy to clean) and yet much cooler (literally, as they actually let your feet breathe). They'd make an awesome gift for graduation or a summer birthday for the Trendanista in your life!

The only good thing about coming home from Spring Break is being able to show off your photos to all your non-bronzed friends when you get home. That's why we're giving away a Sony Cyber-shot W120 Digtial Camera this week. You need to capture the pristine beach, the moment your friend finally masters water skiing, all the sunsets and of course, the nightlife. This 7.2-megapixel camera is the way to do it. It even has features that'll help you snap the very best photos of friends, family members and other spring breakers you meet along the way.

It's a great Spring Break gift for your travel companion (because you'll get to use it too!) or give it as a Bon Voyage gift–even if you're not going on the trip, at least you can live vicariously through the photos.

If you keep up with trends at all, you know that the muted grays of fall are quickly turning into bright neons for spring. (Thankfully, because those blah shades were giving me a case of SAD.) From electric blue and highlighter yellow to rich violet and tomato red, the runways were awash in color, and now bright dresses are here in all of their fluorescent fabulousness.

This Lace-Trim Silk Dress is totally glamorous, while this simple AE wrap dress (in magenta, melon, or blue) has all the makings of a warm-weather staple. Whether inspired by the colors of tropical flowers or the acid brights of the '80s, these hot little numbers are sure to make the Trendanista stand out on Spring Break.

Spring break isn't just for college kids who want to escape the "pressures" of partying at home by hitting the beaches of Florida, Padre, and Cancun for a week.
