Right now on sale at Gilt Groupe for $598 (normally just under $1200), this is among the sexiest bags I’ve seen…in my entire life.

GiltGroupe.com

Obviously, a splurge - but it’s one of those statement bags that will define you for the sexy powerful woman you are - and does THAT have a price tag? (Yes, I am rationalizing.) Anyway, from Marc Jacobs collection, it’s a small satchel handbag with gemstone detail on front in FUCHSIA leather. It comes in other colors too, but I totally don’t care.

There’s a bunch of other Marc Jacobs collection bags and wallets on sale, some for under $200. (A relative steal for this designer.)

Note: I have not actually bought this bag. But I really really want to. Maybe I should start up a collection plate.

Hype’s Alexis tote comes in classic colors like black or frosty white, but I got it in this HOT shade of orchid.

Just imagine wearing your favorite black maxi dress and drapping this bag along it. I’m taking it with me to LA this weekend!

I love the leather ruffles, it makes the bag simultaneously feminine and retro-cool vibe. It is a tote, but can also be converted to a cross-body with the addition of its extra-long strap.

It is right now $325 at Amazon.com - with free shipping.

Doing so may show a lack of variety on my part, but it also is great for mix and matching various wardrobe items.

That said, the pieces I do have are fabulous, and well-coveted items - and something I shall be adding to my closet today was this Nancy Rose Diana Blouse - currently on sale on ideeli for $29! (Regulary $216)

The Nancy Rose sample sale is going on right now, with tons of dresses and tops marked down more than 80% off, and I’m coveting just about all of them.

I am a huge fan of Nancy Rose’s romantic dresses and tunics; they are very much geared toward the modern goddess (which I hope to be) and is full of wispy fabrics and loosely draped silhouettes.

Check it out! Sale is going on now! Just don’t buy the above top in a size 2. Quantities are limited, and I WANT IT.

If you happen to be in front of your computer right now - which obviously you are - at this very moment, there is a Cole Haan sample sample going on, with discounts of up to 60%!

An idea of what you may find is this absolutely gorgeous Cole Haan Genevieve Denney bag, normally retailing for $525, on sale for $229.

How great would it be for a vacay? I love the unique optical weave,  it’s artisan handwoven in a vegetable tanned leather…so so perfect. I wish I could take it to Mexico with me!

Also on sale is tons of other bags and wallets - in super limited quantities, so don’t lag!

Nicole Vazquez

I love it even more when said pieces are from emerging, independent designers.

Nicole Vazquez is that sort of designer. Anything you order from her web store will be made for you by the artist personally - by hand - and then shipped beautifully wrapped.

Can you even dream of that from the big-name department stores?

Even more than that, her stuff is just delightfully whimsical and cute. My favorite piece of all is  her Rosey-Posey Bracelet.

It is crafted with rose colored czech glass tear drop beads and finished off with a sterling silver toggle and a very large heart charm. All this for $80 - and it’s HANDMADE. How unbelievable is that???

I have one of these bracelets to give away - to a very lucky reader. To have your chance to win, please share what you have ever received in your life that was homemade and extra-special. Winner will be chosen at random from the responses. Deadline to enter is August 1!

Maxi Dress
Save your legs with one of the hottest fashion trends out there. In 2008, long dresses zoomed into fashion with Angelina Jolie leading the way. For 2009, they are back again in fun floral prints and colorful solids. Maxi dresses are everywhere and perfectly fashionable for daytime.

Floppy Beach Hat
Protect your face from the sun with a wide-brimmed hat. Fortunately, floppy beach hats are on trend — the bigger, the better. Choose a giant straw hat for a touch of summer glamour and lots of extra protection.

Summer Scarves
Scarves are some of the most versatile accessories available. They can be worn around the neck or used as a headwrap. They are a great way to get a little extra sun protection, plus they can add a punch of color to even the most drab outfit.

Trendy Tunics
When you get out of the water at the beach or pool, cover-up with a long-sleeved tunic in a Boho print. Tunics make great beach cover-ups and they are so cute too. Plus, you can wear them to the beachside bar without feeling self-conscious about strutting around in your swimsuit.

Big Sunglasses
The skin around your eyes is thin and sensitive. Protect it with a pair of oversized sunglasses. Big sunglasses offer a trendy look that screams Hollywood starlet. When choosing a new pair of sunglasses, pick frames with the opposite shape of your face. Be sure your shades offer 100% UV protection.

Lightweight Leggings
Do you hate wearing jeans in the summertime? Leggings can be a great alternative if you are trying to cover up your legs. Wear them with a long belted tunic and flat jeweled sandals for a hot summer look. They are a great choice for outdoor shopping trips and other daytime activities this season.
