As I walk to the subway in the morning, I pass the window of an Ann Taylor Loft store… this cute dress keeps catching my eye:
Tiered Winter White Mini Dress, $128. Right now you can get 40% off, with code HOLIDAY at checkout! That makes it a mere $76.80!
This would be cute to wear for New Year’s Eve with some sky high black pumps and interesting tights:
Pour La Victore Irina Black Platform Pumps, $255.
Banana Republic Chevron Pointelle Tights, $16.50.
Add an inexpensive sequined clutch and you’re ready for a night of festivities!
BCBGeneration Sequined Foldover Clutch, $48.

This organic cotton tote bag from Ralph Lauren features the iconic Big Pony in pink and 100% of the net proceeds from sales of the bag will be donated to the Pink Pony Fund to support cancer programs (for screening, early diagnosis, treatment and research).
I’m always carrying around an extra bag, so why not get one that’s cute and supports a good cause! And, it’s only $10 – a total win/win!
Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Organic Eco Tote, $10

The accessory du jour seems to be an iPad (from $499), so why not get a really cool case for it and make it super-fashionable?
Gucci has this iPad Case with Signature Web Detail, $230
Vuitton has one in the classic monogram. It is not available on their website yet, but it should be soon. It will be about $365.
This one is super affordable and has a slightly Gucci-esque look thanks to the webbing across he front. Acase Leather Flip Cover Case, $25.95. It is also more functional than just a sleeve since you can stand up the iPad like an easel with it.

Some evenings just call for a really tiny bag and Yves Saint Laurent has a perfect option… and at $355 it’s a reasonable way to get your Yves fix (you know, if you can’t afford those amazing $760 strappy sandals)
Yves Saint Laurent Patent Wristlet, $355
At 4″ by 5″, it’s the perfect tiny size for a night out. It also comes in black, ivory, red and pink.

Gap has a cool Fall lookbook on their website right now. I would describe the looks as slouchy, casual, cool – they describe them as “inspired by the girl who’s ready for anything”. Check out the lookbook here.
I really like the Leather Utility Jacket, $328. That’s a pretty good price for leather… although one could luck out and get it on sale later in the season.
I also like this Raw Edge Knit Scarf. It’s only $19.50 and it’s made of 100% modal, so it’s super soft and comfy. With really fine silk scarves (like Hermes) you end up worrying about them when you wearing them, but something like this is great, no fuss, no worries. (sorry, that comparison was apples and oranges but you know what I mean)

Bloomingdale’s is having a big sale this weekend. Select items are up to half off.
There’s still plenty of time this Summer for flip flops, so how about these Diane Von Furstenberg rubber/leather flip flops? They’re usually $65 and now only $32.50, half off!
This Juicy Couture lady lock bag is on its second markdown, so it’s actually way below half price! The original price was $228, first markdown $171, and now it’s only $85.50. What a steal. It’s a great smaller size for evening, or other times when you just want a smaller bag to carry. It is 10.5″ wide by 7″ high.
These Current/Elliott denim leggings with side zippers are down to $138.60 from $231. With trendy items like this it’s good to get them on sale because you don’t know for sure if you’ll want to wear them next year. The side zippers are such a throw back for me… because I had some jeans like that in junior high school!

Ann Taylor seems to be having a great year, their stock is up over 50% this year and their product line seems a lot more appealing in general. They’ve got a bunch of new arrivals on their site, here.
I like the super high Vivian Double Strap Platform Sandals, $158. The heel is 4-3/4″ with a 1/2″ platform.
I also like the new lightweight scarves. This one, the Iconic Animal Print Sheer Scarf, $58 is made with a blend of silk, wool and cashmere.
Also, they’re offering an extra 40% off all sales items through Monday! View the sale items here. Use code SALE40 at checkout.

Today it’s finally feeling like Spring again! (only a month now until Summer) Something about great weather inspires color… I’m not big on color, but I think a dash here or there to brighten an outfit is perfect!
Here are a few subtle options:
Overstock.com has a deal on this Fendi bag ($962.99) with bright blue detailing.
This turquoise necklace with a clover shape and a 14k gold chain is reminiscent of Van Cleef and Arpel’s Alhambra Collection, but for a lot less! It comes in three lengths: 16″ for $145, 18″ for $150 and 20″ for $155.
This clutch ($212) by Pietro Alessandro is in an unusual shade of blue and features pyramid studs and a zipper closure.
These beautiful blue topaz earrings ($475) have 2 shades of blue (the darker is called London blue topaz), they’re on 14k gold earwires.

It’s a dreary, rainy day in New York, but at least we only have a few more days of “April Showers” left. I got stuck outside this morning without an umbrella (not good for the hair!) so I’ve been thinking about umbrellas…
My favorite umbrella is always a classic Burberry. I’ve left one in a cab before, so now mine is the huge stick style that’s hard to forget.
Neiman’s has one that is black on the outside and nova check on the underside, Check Lined Umbrella $275
They also have a cute compact one now with a heart pattern. Heart Print Auto Umbrella, $125.
Here are some choices that won’t make you cry if you lose them!
From eBags, Galleria Paris Stick Umbrella, $24 (on sale, reg. $30)
Bloomingdale’s Green Umbrella, $18 (and with each purchase Bloomingdale’s will make a $6 donation for each exclusive umbrella sold to the Natural Resources Defense Council)

Sara Jessica Parker was spotted running errands in New York in a very low key ensemble highlighted by the Louis Vuitton Leopard Print Scarf. The print was created for Vuitton by the late Stephen Sprouse.
The scarf is amazingly still available! (it seems the Sprouse rose print sold out almost immediately)
The scarf is a cashmere/silk blend. It is a very large size of aprox. 51 x 79 inches. It is $715. Here is the link for purchasing. The Vuitton site doesn’t allow direct linking to products, so when you go to the site you can enter “leopard stole” into the search box to bring you to the product listing.
For those of us who cannot afford the Vuitton version (boo hoo hoo), there are some other options… and much more reasonably priced!
Here’s one from Harmony Lane, Leopard Fringe Scarf, $35. It is 100% cotton.
This one is super cute, because it is printed with leopard and cherries! It’s Galliano… but it’s sort of Vuitton-esque because it combines the leopard and cherries (they did the Murakami cherries). It is 100% silk and is $135 at Zappos Couture.
