The Mulberry Bayswater bag manages to be a timeless classic and top celebrity "It" bag at the same time with its unique combination of modern lines and vintage appeal. Make this $895 investment over at Mulberry.com (it comes in a dozen different colors and finishes, I just used this brown one as an example).


Or, just scoop up Forever 21's Reptile Leather Doctor's Tote for $32.80 and make believe you're carrying the real deal. Works for me!

Reader Nonie is planning on wearing this black lace ruffle-tier dress with black peep-toe pumps to see a performance of Wicked this weekend, but she's not sure if it's appropriate for the occasion. "Do you have any suggestions or opinions in what way I should wear or should I wear this at all?" she asks.

My response? I think Nonie's look is fun, festive and totally appropriate! I might swap the brown/bronze beads for a longer, multi-strand necklace either with delicate chains or flirty pearls to play-up the feminine feel of the dress.
