" Now that it&amp;#039;s officially the new year, tons of resolutions are being carried out-- to lose weight, better manage stress, or take a trip. But what better way to start 2012 than by treating yourself to something special-- without breaking the bank. Recently a new store opened up in New York City&amp;#039;s SoHo area and it&amp;#039;s filled with cute, affordable clothing, accessories, and home d\u00E9cor. With their preppy style, bright colors and bold patterns, the goods at C. Wonder are reminiscent of those from Tory Burch (which is not surprising considering it&amp;#039;s her ex-husband who opened this shop) but are not nearly as expensive. It&amp;#039;s a great go-to for modern yet affordable gifts (for yourself or others). If you can&amp;#039;t make it to NYC to go shopping you can buy online at cwonder.com. Here are a few of my favorite items:  1. Write all your New Year&amp;#039;s resolutions in this Medallion Notebook ($14) and refer to them all year long. In gold or silver.  2. If one of your goals for 2012 is to get in shape, this yoga mat ($35) can help. Its only drawback is that it only comes in green, but that&amp;#039;s not a bad shade to stare at while you&amp;#039;re in downward facing dog pose.  3. One of of my own resolutions is to get organized and I&amp;#039;m going to begin by buying this rectangular ceramic elephant box ($34) to keep all those little odds and ends such as hair clips, rubber bands, ticket stubs neatly tucked away and out of sight.  4. This Beveled Horn Resin frame ($44) will stylishly display your favorite memories of 2011. In my opinion, there&amp;#039;s no better way to start the new year than by remembering the best of the old one.  5. Make this Piggy Bank ($44) the last thing you buy in 2012 and start saving the rest of the year. This modern twist on an old classic is so cute you&amp;#039;ll leave it on display where it will remind you to hold on to your hard-earned cash. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
