French Connection just came out with an art-deco influenced necklace, available for $68 at fcuk.com.


Typically I offer an alternative look that costs less, but in this case, I'm going to recommend a necklace that costs a tad more: It's this House of Harlow by Nicole Richie resin necklace, and it is stunning! If you love it, snag yours for $120 at Chickdowntown.com.

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!

Today's sales at Gilt Groupe include Chloe & Proenza Schouler Sunglasses, Hanii Y, Dana Rebecca, and Rebecca Taylor. Sales start today at noon ET (that's NOW!) so shop immediately for the best selection. This is a rare opportunity to get Dana Rebecca, a collection of fine jewelry featuring stunning gemstones and (of course) sparkling diamonds, for up to half-off retail price. Unheard of! I'm going to go check out the prices on those Chloe shades now, how hot would those be? Very.
