Serious business is going on over at Bluefly: their Semi-Annual BlueSale, their "biggest sale of the season" is going on right now! It encompasses everything you could want, need, or have to have: denim, accessories, handbags, dresses...you name it! And even better, everything is from covetable brands like Vera Wang, Prada, Geren Ford, Linea Pelle, and La Rok.

This lovely romantic Diane von Furstenberg champagne tiered tank, $120 (originally $219), has my name written all over it. It's so soft, so feminine, and so perfect for both work under a nice fitted blazer or for night over a great pair of well-cut jeans!

Watch out, Bluefly, here I come!

There are good looking boy bands, and there is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They've been around the block, but they are still going strong. I, however, prefer their Blood Sugar Sex Magik era - both musically and for style. The RHCP have always had style, from Anthony Kiedis' ever-evolving hair styles to Flea's elaborate costumes (remember the stuffed animal pants?!). I swoon for guys that are both musical and aren't afraid to dress in...

chain mail skirts, glitter lipstick, mirrored pants, metallic Doc Martens and devil horns. These are the wardrobe choices for their part glam rock, part tribal music video of 1991. The groundbreaking video, directed by Stéphane Sednaou, broke conventions with its intense, sporadic energy and aforementioned get ups. Shot in black and white, the band members were spray painted gold - though they appear to be silver. My favorite outfit in the video? Anthony's little mirror-trim metallic speedo and the skyward view between his legs. (Wink)

To celebrate the launch of CasaSugar, we have teamed up with our generous friends at west elm to offer a fabulous $5,000 sweepstakes!

Entering is easy: Just visit the contest page and create a wish list of your favorite west elm products worth up to $5,000. By creating and saving your list, you'll be entered to win all of the items on it! You must be a TeamSugar member to enter, so register here if you aren't already.

You can edit your list as much as you'd like between now and when the contest closes on August 19 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. Please, only one entry per person.

Any handbag fiend will tell you: there's a definite distinction between day purses and night purses. The two are friends but they are different. The former tends to be bigger and more functional. The latter, like this Vintage Red Canvas Wristlet Clutch, has just enough room for your lipgloss, cell phone and credit card.

The great thing about this vintage red one is that it's vibrant enough where you can keep the rest of your outfit unfussy. Carry it with a fabulous LBD and you'll look anything but simple.

The current bidding price is at $7.99 and the auction ends on Friday, August 24. Good luck and happy bidding!
