In Celebration of Carrie Bradshaw

Retailer Intuition has such a cute necklace that is very Sex and the City-ish.  This pendant comes on a 12"chain and features a high heel with Swarovski crystals embedded in the heel.  The sole is red, also...with a nod to Christian Louboutin.  Made by Andrew Hamilton Crawford and retails for $115.

Wonder Woman

Chic and ohh so 70's, the gold cuff bracelet is making it's way back.  The wider, the better.  These are pretty easy to find and I have seen some for $100-$500.  I prefer the cheap kind in this economy.  Put it on and get ready to fight off some evil do-badders.  Here is a great gold cuff bracelet from HSN.com for $59 that is 7" thick.  The best part is that this cuff is from the Tory Spelling line! Go Donna!

J. Crew Makes Suitcases???

According to their website, the availability is limited and is made by a well-respected, noble Italian 'leather house'.   I personally wouldn't want to be in that house during a rainstorm or tornado.  But, I digress.  One line is more feminine (Lugano Collection) and the other masculine and 'old school' (Globe-Trotter Collection).  I must say the Globe-Trotter is cool because it looks like an old-fashioned steamer trunk, but it looks pretty heavy even without clothes.  This is the Lugano Leather suitcase and it comes in orange leather and retails for $1800.

Summer Scarves?

Sounds like an oxymoron, but apparently not!   I have spotted a few summer scarves on people.  I guess you could call them 'summer scarf-wearing people'.  Maybe it is because summer is not here in full force yet.  Of course the lightweight ones are best and fringe makes it more interesting.  I have seen some people wearing their scarves with t-shirts and tank tops.  This one from Banana Republic comes in white or navy and is 100% silk.  $69.  Maybe I should refer to this species as 'spring scarf-wearing people' for now.  Just to be fair.

Saturday

Susana Monaco

Susana Monaco has taken comfy fashion and turned out some hip designs. Most pieces are supplex (nylon with a tad of lycra) and can be worn with flip-flops or high heels. One of her staples is the Tube Tunic, because it is flattering and simple. Love the flared hemline (forgiving) and lined bodic top (wise). I found it in black and turquoise at shopbop.com. I know black is practical...which is why I decided to show the blue. $69.
