Better than basics, but soon to be staples in this week's Top Picks, from jeans that look as good as they feel to bangles that add the easy something special, to a no-fuss, fool-proof eye primer. Plus two bags now on our must-have spring and summer list, and an inventive, creative play way to celebrate Women's History Month.Meaghan: Tim and I are spending this week in the Caymans with my family, which will be simultaneously fabulous and low-key. What better accompaniment to this trip than our Thumbprint Bangle, which has an amazing hand-applied texture that gives it just the right amount of texture and sparkle without being too glitzy. What's more, they're durable, so I don't need to remove it to go swimming or boating -- one less thing to worry about when I'm chasing my toddler across the beach.
