I love this oversize Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag and apparently so do stars such as Kirsten Dunst, Laura Prepon and Jenna Elfman.

Roomy enough to stash everything you need for the day (or an overnight stay), it's the ideal city slouch bag to sling on your arm or shoulder. The zipped main compartment contains an inner pocket to keep things organized while an exterior pocket allows easy access to cell phone, keys, etc. Available in several solid colors and combinations.

It's pretty pricey at $475, but visit StyleBakery.com to learn how you can get 20% off.

So you splurged and bought the ridiculously expensive t-shirt/bra/sweater. "Sure, it was pricey," you told yourself, "but it will last a lifetime!" Right?

Well, that depends. How you wash an item of clothing will go a long way in determining how long you will be able to wear it proudly.

The first step is to wash with a gentle cleanser. Caldrea manufactures beautiful and beautifully-scented home products, including these from their gentle "Sweet Pea" line.

Sweet Pea products are marketed by Caldrea for baby clothes, but they should also be gentle enough to handle even your most delicate couture.

There may be few things more classic in fashion than an Hermes scarf. Grace Kelly once used her's as a sling for her broken arm. Miranda Priestly, the Devil in "The Devil Wears Prada," considered them so essential, she never left home without one. (Even if she did treat them as disposable tissues!)

Once you've made the $350 investment, however, you may be wondering what to do with the thing?
