Bold, fun and goes with just about anything—an exotic-skinned, multi colored clutch is the perfect summer accessory.

Currently Coveting . . .
I've been looking for a new black bag and Marc Jacobs' quilted leather 'Viva' crossbody has caught my attention, though instead I may just splurge on the quilted iPad case as I plan to gift myself one [an iPad] for my birthday. Yes, the quilted supple lambskin leather would be a perfectly safe and chic home for my tablet.

Chic in the City
Candace Bushnell—author and creator of the Sex and the City franchise—recently allowed Elle Décor inside her Manhattan apartment. I love that the walls, built-in cabinets and crown molding are all monotone and bright color pops up throughout with art, books, leather ottomans, a lush velvet chaise lounge, fresh flowers and other accents. Here are a few looks inspired by Candace's Manhattan space . . .
All Saints Ikat Tee | Tara Matthews Indulgence Cherry-Embroidered Silk Shorts | Topshop Turquoise Washed Skull Ring | Kenneth Cole New York Mod Sculpt Statement Necklace | Steve Madden Prosprus Platform
Halston Heritage Split Sleeve Hammered Silk Dress | St. John Collection Resin Bangle | Inge Christopher Mykonos Italian Lamskin Wristlet | Wahlberg Red Suede Ankle Strap Wedges
Nicole Romano Mullroy Twisted Chain & Bead Necklace | Winter Kate Racer Tank | Vanessa Bruno Athé Rose Leather Short | Aldo Croner Platform

Wear the Bling, Save the World
Recently I hinted at my obsession with Wonder Woman and my excitement for M·A·C's collection in her honor. Well, nOir Jewelry has just upped that excitement tenfold with their DC Comics Collection which features pieces in honor of not only Wonder Woman, but Cat Woman, Bat Girl and Super Girl—talk about girl power! I love it all and can imagine that rocking any of these pieces will make me feel like the City is mine to do as I please.

Mrs. Smith
This look isn't completely random; I watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith over the weekend. Angelina Jolie was pure badass calmly jumping from a 40-story window in her black trench, thigh-highs and necklace slash escape rope. Plus, I think a twill trench trimmed in leather is perfect for spring. And how cool is that claw tipped choker by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co.?

Love, Chloé
Seriously drooling over Chloé for spring and summer. It was made especially for me it seems with sleek simplicity, feminine elegance, sophistication and just enough edge. I'm sure you can guess the all black look is my absolute favorite—want, need leather short shorts NOW!

Distressed & Ruffled
Not really big on ruffles, but I can't think of a better time than the onset of spring to play with them. A silk top works well layered with a blazer to finish off the cooler days of the season; then goes solo for warm summer nights paired with everything from linen or silk short shorts to jeans to skirts of any length.

Wet Watchers
An extended weekend, in this case three days due to President's Day, is always a welcome occasion. Unfortunately, forecasts show that rain showers want to join in on the festivities, and, while a rubber boot is not my first choice in footwear, they are a more practical option for wading through a rain-filled weekend.

Shapely Sun Shades
{Retrosuperfuture 'W' Sunglasses}
Forget about cat eyes and butterfly wings, I'm going grown and sexy with trapezoids. Simply and elegantly labeled 'W', this collection of sun shades from Retrosuperfuture is a throw-back to the 70's Italian style that I always find inspiration in with a nod to the future. The sleek simplicity in design make them über chic; there are six hues and I want a pair in every color.
