I was having friends over for cocktails and my uber-stylish friend Kylie came over to my house carrying this fabulous geometric tote! I was so obsessed that I ran out and grabbed it in red this weekend. All of the colors are super bright - perfect for spring. My secret dream is to be part of that Japanese gang, the Fruits. I think if I bought enough of these bags, they would let me in!
Go out and grab one today - prices start from $330 and go up to $1190. Visit the Pleats Please store in SoHo.
When everyone is busy with the winter blues - I am just getting into my winter best! Winter is my favorite. season. ever. Oh yes, I mean it. Even the snow!? Yes, even the snow! What about the cold!? Especially the cold! But it gets dark SO early... Eh, I'm not big on the sun.
So here are some of my very favorite things this winter. Note: these things will also ease your winter blues as they make the chill a bit cooler.

I have been a red lipstick wearer my entire make-up-wearing-life. When other girls ask about where I got the confidence to start wearing red lipstick, my answer is always the same, "my mother!" She was a red lipstick wearer seemingly from birth, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Poppy King herself dubbed me a Red Sinner five years ago when we met at the opening of Space NK in SoHo, she painted my pout and I have been wearing the shade ever since!
Two of my all-time favorite brands, J.Crew and Kate Spade have recently launched King-collaborations!
Poppy King x J.Crew is the perfect shade of orangey-red (the one that often adorns the lips of the models in their fabulous catalogs). One swipe will give you a sheer, lip-bitten look or use a heavier hand for the full Poppy-perfect-pout. The first delivery is already sold out, but you can get it in late September online here!
Poppy King x Kate Spade, is a collection of four Supercalifragilipstick shades. Choose from (left to right); Pop Art Pink, Fuchsia Fete, Adventurous Red and Bashful Blush.
Personally, I'll be scooping up the J.Crew orangey-red and the Kate Spade Fuchsia Fete!

"I want everything," said a friends two year old daughter recently and I thought to myself, “Ugh, I totally know what this kid is saying.” Apparently, so did the geniuses behind Dedegumo, a Japanese transplant from Kyoto that creates bespoke watches for the ultra-hip.
After opening in December 2010 in a teensy little shop on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the watchmakers have recently begun offering a small collection at Bergdorf Goodman. Upon entering the Orchard Street shop where one feels like they are stepping into a treasure chest, the first words out of my mouth were, "I want everything!" Store Manager, Carrie Guest, quickly came to my rescue, ”You can HAVE everything!" Jumping up-and-down, squealing and clapping ensued.
How often do you go into a store, find some things you love and say, “I wish they had this, with that in these colors” and leave frustrated? Well, at Dedegumo, they’ve got your number.
First, you pick your favorite style timepiece, which there are an infinite number of. Then, customize the face by choosing a color from their selection. Finally, choose from about a million different strap options. Their selection of leathers/colors for the band (which are changeable so you don’t even really have to decide) seems endless. One of the shops six expert watchmakers, who take turns sitting in the window-work-benches so that walkers-by can peep their serious skills, will create your piece from scratch.
Finally, your piece is placed in a masu, a wooden box that is actually used for sipping sake and wrapped in a furoshiki, a gorgeous Japanese fabric (which you can also choose yourself) and finished with a bow. Price range is an unbelievably fair $400 to $650, so your DIY-Dedegumo piece won’t break the bank.
Voila! Six to eight weeks later, your bespoke watch will be ready for all of your friends to be jealous of. Good news is, they only have to be jealous for six to eight weeks!

Spotted: Alber Elbaz getting down to Pitbull in Lanvin's Fall 2011 video, shot by Steven Meisel. He is almost as cute (okay, he is AS cute) as the gorgeous one shoulder black dress with the enormous ruffle. *Swoon* I love Lanvin.
Enjoy!
