The decadence was calling me. When I spied this Aurélie Bidermann 18-karat Gold-Dipped Lace Cuff ($1,890), I swooned. The intricate lace-like gold is totally goddess inspired, I swore I had to have it. Check that — when I spied the four-digit tag, I was forced to rethink my commitment . . .
See what I found for less after the jump.

I've long loved Anthropologie for its vintage-feel finds. In particular, its jewels are on my mind to add a little sparkle when I show some skin. So, since jewels are on sale, I say, why not? Especially when this Fireworks Flower Cuff ($90, originally $178) caught my attention — it lends just the right amount of dazzle at a dazzlingly reduced price.

This weekend, to celebrate Easter in the city, one of my girlfriends is hosting brunch in her backyard. The vibe's casual, but it is Easter Sunday, so no jeans. I need your help coming up with the perfect look — something that's light and pretty, but not over the top. Color is great, but I don't want to look like an Easter egg.
I'll start you off with this J.Crew Crystal Devote Bracelet ($60, originally $85). It feels girlie but totally grown-up.
Let's go Fab Finding. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with Easter Brunch. Now, you can build outfits by creating your very own widget of clothing items. We have everything you need to build outfits, and you can use your Fab Find bookmarks, too. This is an even better way to put together an entire outfit when completing your Fab Finding missions. Learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one.

Now that I've given you a genius way to organize your bangles and bracelets, it's time to put my theory to use. This Lisa Levine Cobra Bracelet ($83, originally $165) is the perfect place to start because not only is it badass, it's on sale. And the way to justify spending almost a Benjamin on a single bracelet is that you can wear it over and over and over again without it getting tired. That same logic doesn't really apply to clothing. Have I convinced you? Good, so add it to your collection!
Every time I visit Barneys, I drool over Mark Davis and his super-expensive bangles. They're pretty, bejeweled, and bakelite, like this Mark Davis Evelyn Bangle ($2,280), but way out of my splurge range. Finally, I found a Fab alternative!

Fall calls for brooding clothing and with that comes more serious jewelry. Say a temporary farewell to your bubbly bling and hello to this Victorian Black Smokey Rhinestone Bracelet. It conveys the moodiness of Fall perfectly and would look smashing with a feminine blouse or a short-sleeve turtleneck.
The current bidding price is at $4.95 and the auction ends on Thursday, September 6. Good luck and happy bidding!
A big congratulations to a reader who just bought her dream house: a lovely beach cottage! Since she's moving from "super status-conscious burb" to a more relaxed area, she's ready to let her hair down - but at the same time, she's "not a girl that lives in jeans and flip flops."
