White plastic or acrylic watches are everywhere. You could pay more than $3,000 for one by Chanel or you could get a cheaper, cooler TOYWATCH. They tout their line as an "anti-luxury statement in a luxury obsessed culture". Style icons Madonna and Sienna Miller have one of these beauties. This is one I like especially, because it is solid white. Details: Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 meters), Quartz movement, Acrylic/stainless steel. $195

Saves time, energy and maybe even a few bucks. This is permanent. Hairy back people: you might want to invest in one of these. Might save a few stares at the beach.
This belt was all over the Sex and the City movie and Carrie Bradshaw wore it well. She wore it with just about everything, too. Who knew you could wear a studded belt with formal attire? Very cool. Patricia Field (the serie' long time stylist) always comes up with new trends. This one you could not help zeroing in on in almost every scene. Buy it on Patricia Field's website for July pre-sale for $120 or you can get it now for $250 elsewhere if you dare.

Summertime is margarita time! Margaritas are delicious, but they are loaded with way to much sugar and way too much salt. If you want to bloat up fast, have a few margaritas. Bethenny Frankel, the Natural Foods Chef and co-star of The Real Housewives of New York City has come up with a delicious alternative to sweet margarita mix, called "The Skinny Girl's Margarita". Apparently, clear liquor is the key. Here is also included a link so you can watch a video of her making a frozen batch.

I should say, jewelry boxes to meet everyone's needs. Man, woman, big jewelry collector or someone with a few pieces. They come in different colors also. Classic and lockable. Embossed leather with faux suede lining and compartments to keep treasures organized and protected. I like the big daddy armoire, which features a large divided drawer, sections for rings, earrings and necklaces, storage for bracelets and watches, a mirror and two travel boxes that lay inside. May be monogrammed with a single initial on the interior mirror for an additional charge. 16.5 x 10.5 x 10" h. McKenna Jewelry Armoire, $349.

Great designer Nicole Miller has some affordable, actually cute pieces at JCPenney's now. This halter style top is only $30.80 and ties at back of neck. Another selling point is that you can machine wash and line dry. 
Long, gold earrings are making a comeback and these mesh ones from Bebe are definitely retro. (Long earrings are called 'dusters', because they dust the shoulders). The $29 price tag isn't too bad on these either. 
Rafé Totengco left his business in Manila in 1989 to pursue his dream of being a designer. He moved to NYC, started small with belts and moved on to handbags, shoes and more.
