There's hippie patchwork and then there's luxury patchwork. Clearly, this Miu Miu Patchwork Leather Tote ($1,445) fits in the latter category. Whitney Port has the metallic version, but for those who'd rather not spend a ton, I tracked down a less-expensive version.

In the wrong hands, or rather on the wrong waist, a belt can look out of place, but if worn tastefully, it can work wonders. Take for example a voluminous blouson top; sans belt, it's shapeless, but with one, your waist is accentuated. Patricia Field can back me up on this.

We are all so happy to see the Gossip Girls back in action! The too-cute cast turned up at the Paley Festival and here is Serena van der Woodsen herself looking power babe in a Smythe blazer and straight jeans. The fact that she wears it open, with a cotton tank, makes it more cas(ual) — I supplied a patent red clutch to liven things up even more for Ms. Lively.

I feel like we're all perpetually in search of the perfect pair of jeans. All I'm asking for is a pair with the perfect wash, cut, and fit — does it even exist? I'd love for you to share your best prospect, or if you have more than one that you love, even better!

My current fave is the J Brand Mid Rise 16" Straight Leg Jean ($159) — the cut and color are near perfect.
