HOT PICKS FOR FALL ACCESSORIES

We love when other people do the dirty work for us. Which is why we look forward to Candy Pratt Price’s Accessories Report each season – her selections are always divine, and she saves us hours of scouring runway shows. Out of her full report – a few of our favorite pieces already on our hot list…

A few of the classics: Manolo, Louis, and Choo.Lots of gold for fall, along with a chick rocker vibe. We dig it.

White doesn’t have to be reserved for summer! Narciso Rodgriguez always finds room for white in his collections. We love the boots, and the clutch by Vera Wang too. A little bling from Lanvin, and chunky gold from Herve van der Straeten, and we’re good to go.

NEW MATH = COOL

Break down our crazy everyday lives and actions into a simple equation and you get the website New Math.

We think we like this math better than crunching numbers. Like: Quality Denim + Killer Fit = Hudson Jeans. See, how well that works? (Yeah, we couldn’t resist a little plug. You can deal, right?)

TUESDAY TUNES: FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE

She’s being hailed as the next ‘it’ girl out of the UK, following the likes of Adele and that crazy Ms. Winehouse.

Her first hit single Kiss With A Fist had us rockin’ out (just try not dancing to this one), and her latest releases, available on MySpace, are jut as killer. Ladies and gentleman, we give you Florence and The Machine:

LUST LIST: MCQUEEN FRINGE

What’s better than a fantastically original dress that’s feminine and a little kick ass all at the same time?

TUESDAY TUNES: COACHELLA

We don’t care who you are, what year you were born, or your usual taste in tunes. If you’re a true music fan, then seeing Paul McCartney at Coachella tops anyone’s list of concert moments.

Yes, we’re still recovering. And yes, he was that awesome.

CELEBRATING ‘SPARKLE’ WEEK OUR WAY

Last month, the National Jewelry Institute announced that NYC would be celebrating ‘Sparkle Week’ from April 20 – 26th in an effort to stimulate the jewelry market. Well, luckily for Mayor Bloomberg, we have a thing for bling. So, here are a few of our picks for hot summer must-haves from one of our favorite online, New York based retailers, Vivre.

With lots of neutrals in the forecast , we love the intensity of this green onyx necklace to add a pop of color. Or, go white on white for a hot summer look with the crystal cabochon cuff. And, if you don’t already own one, the infamous shell rings really are to die for. They’re all you need to make a statement on the beach.
