Get the Skinny

Posh Spice (Mrs. David Beckham) and Cameron Diaz love their colored skinny jeans. Own a pair without spending a fortune. I found these for $44.50 and 'buy one, get one 1/2 off'. Five-pocket stretch jean with narrow leg. Cotton-spandex. Blue. 15" leg opening. Comes in purple or blue. Inseams from 26" to 36" for shorties and tallies.

Vacay Time

Navigate through the countless travel deals and websites faster with kayak.com. Consumer guru Clark Howard turned us onto this site years ago and it is still the best way to search for travel. It searches all of the sites and also through Priceline and Hotwire in real time. You can adjust travel departure times, destination and departure locations and also sort by travel lengths and prices. Less hassle=more fun.

Diane von Furstenberg Shoes

From the beautiful Belgian lady who brought us the wrap dress, there is now a new line of shoes. These are the "Molto" Love Knot Wedge sandals with the signature wood "DVF Love Knot" ornament in metallic nappa leather. $265. They can be found at bloomingdales.com and nordstroms.com. Hopefully, zappos.com (my favorite online shoe source) will be carrying her line very soon.

Hurray for Maxi Dresses!

Not sure why these are called 'Maxi Dresses', but I love them just the same. Maxi dresses are long, forgiving, comfortable and bohemian chic. Some of my favorites are from Ella Moss and T-Bags and they come in a soft cotton material...like a t-shirt. Great for tooling around and running errands with some flip-flops or sandals or even with high heels for evening. I found some good ones on pinkmascara.com, revolveclothing.com, delias.com and even amazon.com. This one is great because it is only $49.50, so you will get your money's worth out of it before the trend ends!

Elsa Peretti round pendant

Keira Knightley loves hers! Probabably because it is a simple, timeless piece. Pendant in 18k gold. On a 16" chain. Original design copyrighted by Elsa Peretti. Find it at Tiffany's for $750. Perfect for layering with other necklaces. Gold is back in and is a hot commodity these days. That is why this is a perfect gift, people!

Parisian Macarons. Ooh La La!

These cookies are an internet exclusive from Williams-Sonoma have nothing in common with the dense coconut confections that Americans know as “macaroons.” From celebrated pastry chef Jean-Yves Charon, they are prepared in the traditional Parisian style, sandwiching two petite cookies together with a flavored cream or jam. With each bite, the crunchy and chewy cookies give way to their creamy filling. Shipped frozen, the light-as-air macaroons come in six delicate flavors: raspberry (with jam filling), lemon, pistachio, chocolate, vanilla and espresso. 13.3 oz. Set of 24, four of each flavor. $49.
