Who doesn’t love a Coach bag? They’re classic, cute, and well-built, all for a fraction of what designer handbags will set you back. My current favorite is the Coach Leigh Leather Pocket Flap Bag, which comes in black, but I prefer in the whiskey color above. It’s $658 from Macy’s, and features Coach’s signature turnlock brass hardware, including a chic chain strap. There are enough pockets inside to organize your busy life, and the size is big enough for all your daily essentials. It’s sure to become your new favorite everyday bag!

Alligator has never looked so delightfully pretty! Rozae Nichols is unbelievably keen with prints and cuts that echo the 1960s while still appealing to modern sensibilities. This Rozae Nichols Alligator Chiffon Dress is the perfect example of that. It’s something I imagine a girl like Sienna Miller or Beyonce could pull off with absolute ease. It’s the epitome of summer cool, with the earth tones requisite of any chic outfit this season. It’s $695 from Neiman Marcus, so get one to wear to all those amazing end-of-summer parties. It’s breezy, easy, and just exotic enough to set you ahead of the crowd.

Rachel Roy is current queen of all that is New York pretty and chic. She’s married to a music/clothing mogul, she has an unbelievably stylish wardrobe, and her eponymous upscale fashion line is being bought up by every luxury store in the country. She’s the unapologetically girly-girl with an indescribable New York cool. She’s the new Kimora Lee Simmons, except multiply more refined. Get a piece of the action with this Rachel Roy Layla Plaited Strap Dress, $720 from Net-A-Porter. The goddess draping has a certain Sophia Kokosalaki quality to it, while the easy silhouette is very Stella McCartney. A fabulous dress for under $750? Now that is cool.

Eek! I have found what is fundamentally the prettiest little black dress of the year! Zac Posen Nationale Dress is the perfect combination of ethereal, romantic pretty and downtown, New York edge. Black silk chiffon with a sweetheart neckline and delicate cap sleeves is totally sweet, while the signature Zac Posen pleating and the buttoned band that runs across the back is totally chic. It’s just perfectly sugary sweet, like a Sour Patch Kid! Get it from eLuxury for $4500.
Tory Burch Gold Kylie Dress

I just read both Bergdorf Blondes and The Debutante Divorcee, both by Vogue contributor and fashion maven in the making, Plum Sykes. Plum and her twin sister Lucy are from Britain, but they’re part of the late 20s, early 30s New York social set that includes Tinsley Mortimer, Lauren Davis, and all those fantastically glamorous women, many of whom had their names used in Plum’s books. Those fictional characters wore some astoundingly glamorous outfits, and this Tory Burch Gold Kylie Dress is pretty much the type of thing I imagined they would wear. Tory Burch herself is part of this in-crowd, so it makes sense that she knows how to dress them. The flirty silk shift comes covered in metallic gold paillettes, making it shimmer in the evening and dazzle in the daytime. It’s $750 from Active Endeavors, so order it today if, like me, you’re mesmerized by impossibly chic New York socialites. It’s beyond!
