MICHAEL Michael Kors Astor Plastic Large Tote: $165.90 (Was: $278.00)
Since a couple of our lovely guest bloggers featured swimsuits this week, I thought I’d show you beauties a great tote you can sport at the beach or pool. This tote comes in a variety of colors. I personally love the gold color as it is the most versatile. Smart Bargains has black, white, orange & lime for $129.99.

It’s been a while since I did a top 5, but by popular demand I’ve got one for you today. The subject: handbags. It’s the end of the season, and stores are dying to get rid of last season’s must-haves. Why not help them out? You can find some of the chicest bags around in the sale section of almost every store right now.
Here are my faves:
La Gioe di Toscana “Sophia” Satchel, $299 (old price=$500)
I find this bag absolutely delicious! Imagine what you can do with it–it has brown and black in it! It’s also very structured with eye-popping details.
Nordstrom Animal Print Portfolio Clutch, $46.90 (old price= $158)
Generally speaking, animal prints are best in small doses. And isn’t this zebra print clutch the cutest small dose? An evening bag like this is a great way to add personality to a little black dress, and a just-wild-enough way to punch up an ensemble with color.
JCrew Panama Bag in Suede, $49 (old price= $98)
The color combination is what makes this classic bag so eye-catching and sumptuous. This is the perfect way to liven up a monochromatic outfit or perk up a dark ensemble. It also looks like it would work for day or night.
Michael by Michael Kors Chestertown Satchel, $149 (old price= $298)
Simple and chic. This is a great bag that’ll always be in season. The details are fantastic, and it falls into that special not-to-big-not-too-small category. I have a black patent leather bag, and it’s definitely earned it’s keep.
Urban Outfitters Leather Patchwork Slouch Bag, $54.99 (old price=$78)
Patchwork! It’s time to bring this style back. I think if I had this, it would become my permanent day bag–it’s so cool, calm and collected.
It’s party season, and dressing for all of your invitations can be stressful and expensive. That’s why I’ve gathered up some great party shoes for under $150.
Sam Edleman Holly Embossed Snake Ballet Shoe, $70
Franco Sarto Canton patent leather pump, $89.95
I did the unthinkable this Thanksgiving weekend: I missed Project Runway. I was busy traveling across the country and indulging in family fun, what do you want from me? I will of course catch it when they rerun it a million times this week–it’s all TiVo-ed up and ready to go.
I did find out that Sarah Jessica Parker was the guest judge instead of Jon Bon Jovi like everyone thought. That’s what I call a trade up. The winning look belonged to Victorya Hong, whose full and vested dress landed a place in SJP’s Bitten line.
The dress is available in a couple of colors at the Steve & Barry’s flagship Manhattan store and will hang around on the discount retailer’s racks for several weeks.
On the flipside, the very confident Marion from Texas was out as a result of what Michael Kors dubbed the “Pocahontas outfit.”
I know these shoes, I love these shoes, I own these shoes. And now they’re on sale. These ‘Belinda’ sandals from the Michael Kors’ MICHAEL line are so amazingly cute and comfy, that I’m not even sad that I bought them at full price. I can’t even imagine what my summer wardrobe would have been without them.
I walked in those things for hours when I was in Mexico City, and I swear on my luggage that they did not hurt a bit. The thick ankle straps keep your foot in place, so there’s no embarrassing mishaps that platform are wont to cause. They’re very Dr. Scholls only sexier, and if you get them you’ll wish you had a dollar for every compliment you get. They look especially good with shorts.
Old Price= $122.95, New Price= $110.66 at Zappos, and you get free overnight shipping to boot.
