That is the lap of luxury I tell you.

There’s pretty prints and soothing solids to choose from and it’s all on sale right now.

I made a list earlier with five things I splurge on, so I thought I’d round it out and finish it off with five more.

1. “The perfect black pants”

I know it’s kind of a given. Everyone will say invest in black pants that fit like a dream. What I really mean is a good staple piece. I like my black pants ,but my staple really is a American Apparel pencil skirt. I own three and I’m in love with all of them. It’s a signature to my look and people know that.

Find your staple, whether it’s black pants or a neon green parachute pants. It needs to be something that says a lot about your style and about you.

2. a pedicure

I don’t actually spend a ton on these, but the point is to give yourself a treat once in a while. Something you probably shouldn’t be spending money on. A massage, a pedicure, a good cup of coffee.

It’s good for your psyche to have a bit of expensive happiness now and then. I got myself a $40 pedicure this weekend and I feel so much happier looking at my pretty toes.

3. A classic coat

Trench coats are not for everyone and neither are pea coats, but there are lots of classic silhouettes. Coats are my soft spot. I love jackets and coats because they are the first thing people see.

Your outfit may be sweatpants and a old tee, but if you’ve got a great jacket on top, people will notice.

4. Good tweezers

Not something I usually see on lists, but I somehow spent the early years of my grooming life with a terrible pair of LaCrosse tweezers I bought for $5. They were terrible and I’d pull out more skin than eyebrow hair.

Then came my higher grade revlon tweezer. My, they were “expensive” at $11 or something like that, but they’re sharpened for a lifetime, like Tweezermans. They grab each and every hair…it’s a dream.

5. Good sheets

You spend eight hours a day rolling around in these things, why subject yourself to 100-threadcount? Get yourself some nice sheets, friends.

Good sleep is the basis to looking and feeling good, I don’t know how many studies have told us so. They don’t need to be the best out there, but something that is soft, comfortable and will last your for years.

I love white, but it can get a little boring. These sheets from CB2 are simple with a nice amount of embroidering. They’re 250-thread count, which is pretty decent for the price. ($30-119)

Get it at CB2.

Long time ago, I gave up on sheets. I stopped using flat sheets, which don’t really seem to serve a purpose. So I use fitted sheets, a blanket and a down comforter. It’s quite cozy in my bed, but I can never fold up the fitted sheets.

Hurrah! Here comes instructions!
