I recently spotted this Jimmy Choo suede wallet called the Filipa and it is the sweetest thing.  It's the perfect accessory for a star spangled fashionista's July 4th outfit.  Available in colors pink and black, it retails for $710.

If you are a 'Real Housewives of New York City" fan, then you've been tuning in to the three part reunion show on Bravo.  It is good and juicy, so I highly recommend watching.

But, speaking of juicy, how hot did Bethenny look in that Karen Millen dress she sported to the reunion?  Hello!  She just had a baby and she looked amazing in that size 4 dress.  You go girl!  If you can't tell, I'm totally Team Bethenny.  But, I will say, if anyone from Team Jill wore a great frock, I'd give them proper credit as well.

What I love about Karen Millen dresses is that they are totally affordable.  Celebrities are always wearing their designs, but one need not be a celebrity to don one of their pieces.

The pale pink (also available in silver/grey) 'Curvaceous satin dress' Bethenny wore retails for $380.  Check out other girly frocks at www.karenmillen.com

Cate Blanchett looked gorgeous, as usual, at the 64th Annual Tony Awards held at Radio City Music Hall in NYC this past Sunday.

Take a look at how she rocked this Armani Prive silver pantsuit.  She never does any fashion wrong on the red carpet or at any event in my eyes.

I am really feeling the FIFA 2010 World Cup women's track tops created by adidas Originals.  Inspired by the participating countries, I think this collection is quite sheik.

Particularly impressing is how the range of apparel and footwear honors host country, South Africa, by displaying the country's colors.

Check out a few other women's track tops below.

I had a great time today with Carol Brodie at her tweet up event to preview her newest jewelry pieces in celebration of her 1-year anniversary of Rarities. Check out my interview below with her as she discusses her collection.

Carol, who formerly worked as the Global Director of Communications for Harry Winston, is quite personable and easy to talk to.  I love the enthusiasm she displays for her work and collection.  When she speaks her knowledge and experience dealing with jewelry clearly comes across. 

One should expect nothing but great sophistication of this beauty (might I add, she's 46 and looks divine - move over Kim Cattrall) after all, she has worked with Hollywood glitterati in the past such as Halle Berry, Kate Hudson and Reese Witherspoon, just to name a few.

Tune into HSN on June 19th from 5-8pm when Carol will be launching the Rarities One-Year Anniversary Collection live.

I get the feeling it's going to be a very hot summer this year.  It's only June and we've already had scorching 80 and 90 degree weather here in NYC.

So chicas, on those very sunny days, my advise is keep it sleek, but sexy with a nice cami.

The lace and lingerie look of the Gold Hawk camis are divine.  They can be worn dressed down during the day and dressed up for a night on the town.  Retailing at $130, they are a bit of splurge, but ladies, aren't we worth it?

One of the things women always notice on a man are his shoes.  Wear great shoes and you may potentially capture a woman's attention.  Maybe not her heart, but at least, her attention to start.

I am totally feeling these Oliver Spencer for Topman desert boots and oxford shoes.  They feature Oliver's brick red trademark EVA red soles, which I love.

The shoes begin at $150 and the boots for $170.  They can be found at Topman New York (478 Broadway, 212-966-9555) and the Oliver Spencer boutique (330 East 11th St., 212-475-0079).

With hot weather fast approaching, a definite must have among any woman's summer shoe collection should be a comfy, pretty and good pair of ballerina flats.  On those days when you don't feel like sporting high heeled sandals, consider these five sassy ballerina flats that will keep you looking easy breezy, yet fashionable.

The Foldable Ballerina Flats

There are many stylish foldable ballerina flats out there.  These are shoes so compact; one can carry them in a small purse or pocketbook.  Two of these to consider are:

FootzyRolls

When you've been in high heels all day and need to get home in comfort, Footzyrolls are the way to go.  The soles are not only skid proof, but water proof as well.  They come in an array of colors ranging from black, gold, silver and snake skins designs.  Footzyrolls are so charmingly packaged that you even get a pouch to secure them in and a shoe bag to carry your heels.  Retail price $25-$30

I am a strong believer in looking good at a bargain.  Wearing designer clothing is nice and if you can afford it, then go for it.  But, when you have to budget your money, you must shop wisely.

One of my wise shopping heavens is the catalog Chadwick's (some of you may know them as Chadwick's of Boston).  I've been a fan of theirs for years and feel they always manage to help their customers stay fashion forward at great prices.  They just keep getting better.

One area where Chadwick's is consistently able to stay in the know is with their famous-maker shoe collection ranging from casual, comfy, evening and sexy styles all year round. I'm talking about shoe designers such as Bandolino, Etienne Aigner, Franco Sarto and Naturalizer just to name a few.

So, I recently got my Chadwick's catalog and discovered two hot, hot, hot heels that I must recommend for summer.  And, what's even better is that they are both currently selling for $29.99.  Heaven!!!

Python-Print Double Strap Sandals $29.99

Specifics: Sexy double buckle strap detail.  Open-toe.  4" heel approximately with 1/2"

platform. These beauties would work well with a lovely dress showing off your legs,

as well as skinny jeans for a nice lean look.

2-Band Slingbacks $29.99

Specifics: Cone heel covered in raffia.  Adjustable slingback.  3 1/2" heel approx. 

Perfect for that day to evening look. Wear them to the office with a knee length

skirt. Sport on the weekends in summer shorts. 

Happy shopping!

It seems that the Black Eyed Peas number one lady, Fergie Ferg, has taken a liking to J Brand denim leggings. 

With a keen sense of style where she never shows too much skins or too little, Fergie always manages to stay on point when it comes to fashion. 

She has been spotted sporting J Brand's 901 Denim Leggings in their Pitch, Viper and Blue Viper versions and this chica does look great.

I recently enjoyed playing amateur stylist when I had the great opportunity to preview the Quiksilver Spring 2010 and the Roxy Summer 2010 collections.

I encountered an assortment of girly pieces from each line ranging from cheeky summer dresses and jumpsuits, shorts, rocking mini jackets, including belts and handbags.

In my role as amateur stylist I paired these cute white Quiksilver shorts with their 'Cake Walk' pullover, which can be worn with a simple or colorful tank top underneath.

For Roxy, I opted to match their green 'Sunset' dress with the gray 'Forget Me Not' vest.  I love the studded embellishments on this jacket - this item can be worn casually or dressed up.

Other standout pieces included this navy blue jumpsuit from Roxy.  I totally wanna wanna wanna want it!

Passing by the Dior store window in NYC on 57th St (between 5th Ave. and Madison) I encountered beauty in violet, silver and black.

Items so new, they are not even up on their website yet.  Therefore, if you amour Dior, then you are best off sauntering to their store to indulge in some eye candy such as this:

Purple cowl neck dress with hues of pink, white and black

OR My very favorite Twist pumps

To walk in New York City is to discover delight!

It is Thursday, February 18th and today marks the official last day of Fashion Week being held at Bryant Park.  The shows will now move on to their new home, next season (September 2010), at Lincoln Center.  And, one group I'd like to pay a big salute to are the Citadel Security team that we all see each season at the tents.

Citadel Security has been providing security during Fashion Week since 1993.  That's pretty much 17 years now.  The charming Ty Yorio - a former NYPD homicide detective and a retired sergeant is the president and founder of the company and he runs a quality team.

Sure, fashionistas attending might get a bit annoyed at times when they must form long lines to get into a show or they may not get why security tells 'everyone move to the left or I need everyone to keep the line to the right,' but at the end of the day, these men are doing their job and they are good at it.  We know and they know the drill.

So, to the men at Citadel Security I say, see you next season at Lincoln Center for a new beginning.  Some of us promise to be just as pushy, sometimes snobby and as intrigued as we always are to get into a show (invite or not, you know who you are out there), but we expect you to keep us secure and in check like you always do.  We understand and we thank you!

The Perry Ellis Fall 2010 men's collection is a suave demonstration of what today's man should look like, or at least, aspire to. It is pierced with wools and blended wools, delicate velvets, denim and sateen.  The well dressed man would be doing himself (and his well dressed woman) a great service by having a Perry Ellis moment.

The Heart Truth - Red Dress Collection fashion show, which takes place each Fall season of Fashion Week, pairs together celebrities and designers to bring greater awareness to women about the issue of heart disease.  The event is for a good cause and the ladies chosen to sport outstanding red dresses on the catwalk never fail to enchant us with their unique and individual style.
