Coveting

I feel like I'm always on the market for a gorgeous wallet, but none of them meet all the criteria. It's either too small, a weird color, not enough credit card slots, or too clunky to fit in a purse. This Tory Burch Suki Python-Embossed Leather one is just right. A chic wallet that also doubles as a fancy clutch? I'm sold.

Retailing for $275 at Bloomingdale's.

"Unless you have been living in northern Tibet or someplace equally remote, you know that models have distinct walks. For instance, if Carmen Kass were forced to walk with a bag over her head, you would know from the little shake of her bust, as well as the high knee step, that it was Carmen. Karlie Kloss, a new runway star, walks with a sort of campy sphinxlike motion of her head, accompanied by a glare. According to J, Coco Rocha, who walks quickly, with her chin tucked in, "looks like her nose is always running."

Of course the designers are already teasing us with Resort Collections (just as we're approaching freezing temps, no less!), but the Cavalli Tropical Shirtdress is especially a killer. The light silk, the bold print... oh, I wish it were cruise time already!

Retailing for $1,095 at Bergdorf Goodman.
