If you’re looking for a basic big black handbag to hold all your everyday necessities, but you don’t want to spend over $100, this Nine West large tote is perfect.  Nine West is typically less expensive than designer bags, but they are not cheaply made and will last you a while.

Alas…summer is officially approaching, but it’s really no fun unless you sport some black and white gingham.

This week’s inspiration was from the L.A.M.B. Spring 2008 runway show. Gwen stuck to pretty dark colors for this collection, and one can almost mistake it for a fall line, but she did slip in a few summery pieces like this adorable mini dress.

My picks below should do the trick, and the crimson red lipstick pays homage to Ms. Stefani herself.

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.

Nine West Revengez, $82.95

Sam Edleman Holly Embossed Snake Ballet Shoe, $70

Franco Sarto Canton patent leather pump, $89.95

MICHAEL Michael Kors Oliva Peep Toe, $132.95

As the summer dwindles, it gets harder and harder to find acceptable items for the Deal of the Day feature.  Seriously, if I never see one more gigantic, poorly-designed trapeze dress in the sale section again, it will be too soon.  Why do I mention this? Because I want major affection for bringing you this simple and chic Nine West ‘Payal’ sandal.  These will get you through the rest of the summer and still be wearable next year. Plus, the suede-esque sole is a good tool for the fall transition.
