In case you haven't noticed our little black dress is based off of one of our favorite designers, Diane Von Furstenberg. It's matched perfectly with our white YSL Muse bag. Now is your chance to be the first with DVF's fall collection.

Fall is just around the corner - it's time to start filling your closet with the must-have items for the season. Check out this fabulous contest at Neiman Marcus. Click here by July 25th and you can enter to win a $1,000 wardrobe, signature DVF bag plus pre-order the new "Working Girl" collection. Thanks DVF, and good luck to all!

The best thing to hit your feet since the pedicure! Band-Aid's miracle cushioned "Blister Block" bandage can be worn on heels and toes to prevent new blisters from forming. If you're about four hours too late for those, the "Advanced Healing Blister" product protects and heals the blisters already there.

Since we know you don't really want to buy "practical" shoes, these little bits of padded heaven might just be a lifesaver on those Carrie Bradshaw SATC stiletto days!

I don't know about you, but I have about a million tubes of lip gloss. At least one in every handbag I own, four or five in my makeup bag, one at my desk, two in the car, you get the idea. They are all pretty much the same color and I never seem to actually empty any of them, so why do I feel the need to buy a new one every week? In fact, this week I actually bought not one, but TWO!

Here are the two I bought this week:

Her Glossiness Lip Gloss in "Who are you Wearing" from Benefit Cosmetics, $16

Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Soother in "Gleam", $6.49

I love them both, for my full report read more

Everyone knows eBay is the place to go to find amazing rare items like this one. We love this 1960s YSL Rive Gauche Denim Trenchcoat Dress!

...a guaranteed original vintage YSL Rive Gauche, purchased over a decade ago at a New York Pier show for a pretty penny. I don't part with this easily, but since it is a sz 40, i.e. US 6 and I am no longer that size....well you get the picture. This is the most amazing, fab piece for any vintage collector... Bid with confidence on this fab denim YSL RIVE GAUCHE trench coat-dress! You will fall in love with it, for sure.

We agree! Paired with a fabulous scarf, a pair of fabulous boots, dress slacks or khakis, this could be your new favorite fall wardrobe staple. Happy bidding!

One of my favorite things about the middle of July is all of the awesome sales that occur, both online and off. Summer isn't even half way over and the stores are already clearing their summer lines, just in time for my annual August vacation!

The four best sales going on right now are:

• The Banana Republic Summer Sale happening now online and in-stores. BR switched to the semi-annual sale model about three years ago and it was an instant success. The deals you can find here are incredible, up to 60% off!
• The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale started last week and runs through July 30. The cool thing about this sale is it is actually brand-spanking-new Fall merchandise instead of mid-summer leftovers! I actually hold a special place in my heart for this sale because my mom and I used to get up at the crack of dawn on the first day of the sale in order to be the very first people at the store. Now, thanks to the Internet, you can shop the sale online from the comfort of your couch. Much better than that 4am wake-up call.
• The Bergdorf Goodman Sale. Tons of stuff from top designers like Marc Jacobs, Rebecca Taylor and Nanette Lapore for up to 65% off!
• The online sale at Shop Intuition. Again, thanks to the fabulousness of the Internet, we can take advantage of the summer sale at one of LA's hottest boutiques from anywhere in the world. Lots of great stuff still available, including this adorable Primp Bunny Zip-Up Hoodie that all the IT girls were wearing this season.
