For your body
6.

Trillium Soaps & Candles Crème Fraîche body cream, 120 g, $15
Rich with shea and mango butters, aloe, vitamin C and E, this cream is naturally fragrant rather than dessert-sweet. You'll love Apricot & Oatmeal and Clementine & Cream.

Budget buy: Upper Canada Pink Grapefruit Kitchen antibacterial hand wash and lotion, 400 mL, $10 each. You can feel good about buying these products: A portion of the proceeds will help to fund breast cancer research.

For your stuff
7.

Karen Wilson Indulgence/King Louis bag in Black, $260
Beautiful and feminine, Karen Wilson's frame bags always make me weak in the knees. Wilson is Canadian, by the way. For more casual occasions, Roots' patent leather Uptown Bag, $138, adds a little luxe with a shiny, textured patent finish.

Budget buy: This Mexx red pleather bag, $69, delivers great impact for a darned good price.

For your purse
8.

Estée Lauder Limited Edition Pink Ribbon Compact, $55
Every woman needs a pretty mirrored compact in her purse; this compact gives beauty a little weight.

Budget buy: Danielle by Upper Canada Pink Compact with 5x magnification, $20, shows the big picture.

For your weekend wardrobe
9.

Adidas Stella McCartney Gym Woven 1/4 Zip Top, $200
Sportswear is super-chic in Stella McCartney's design book. Love the rich purple for fall. Available Sept. 15.

Budget buy: H&M funnel-neck long, half-zip sweater, $69.90. Go for a gorgeous green in cosy wool.

For your man
10.

Azzaro Skinforce Face Scrub, 75 mL, $28 http://www.azzaroskinforce.com
Rich in botanical extracts taken from African Baobab, Californian Sequoia and Guianese Bocoa trees, this new line of skincare targets the needs of young, adult and mature men's skin. At major drug and department stores.

Budget buy: Nivea for Men Energizing Face Scrub, 125 g, $8.99, sloughs off dead cells to smooth skin and allows moisturizer to penetrate more effectively. At drugstores.
