This bag is begging to go on vacation somewhere hot and steamy! (Hello, me too!)

1. Topshop ruffled dress,

Statement bags are making even more of a statement these days with , pictured above and below (also found ). I'd like to affix "HOT BABE" to one of my bags--but think my initials would be a more succinct choice! P.S. This is a great way to elevate/personalize a plain, inexpensive bag, too!

I am convinced that this punchy print dress was made for fun lunches at The Ivy! (P.S. It doesn't hurt that other diners would mistake it for Marni.)

An embellished sandal is in order this spring/summer season. I like this one's Balenciaga vibe and bargain basement price!

The perfect pair of shorts this season is a little more statement-y and lot more city-proof--just like these.

While the shape is feminine and retro-spirited, the hardware is bold and this very minute. It can be worn slung over one shoulder, messenger style or toted like a clutch. And, like the best cult-worthy bags, it goes with just about everything, no matter the color you get. My favorites are the timeless , the whimsical and the eye-popping mini .

After months of covering up in chunky knits, a skin-baring sweater is a welcome--and sexy--concept!

The other day I went shopping with a friend and brought along my vintage fringed clutch for the adventure. When I put my clutch down to try on a pair of earrings, a woman came over, picked it up and proceeded to examine it as if she was thinking about buying it. It was then that I informed her that the clutch was mine. She was crestfallen... but if she's reading this, she might take consolation in the bounty of fringed options out and about, including this , this (pictured above, or in black leather ), this (pictured below), this , this , and .
