I've been seeking a nice t-strap shoe with at least some semblance of cool. Surprise, surprise- Ann Taylor Loft comes through!

Sydney Suede and (mock) Croc T-Bar Pump

(Carmen, $325)

Frankly, nothing sucks more than the soap in public restrooms. I wash and I rinse and still, all is feel is NYC grime all over my hands. BAH. And then, I discovered Road Wash from Product Body.

A solid body wash in a neat little portable tub, Road Wash is available in 4 delicious fragrances: Pink Grapefruit, Yuzu, Sweet Vanilla Mango and Valencia Orange.

Pop one in your bag and never be unprepared again.

The crazy bagistas at BagTrends are hosting a can't miss Trunk Show next week.

Mark your calendars...you don't want to miss exclusive discounts of 20-50% on must-have goodies from Andrea Brueckner, Ted Rossi, Ananas and more. Suffice it to say, I will be there with bells on.

Hip, Hip Hooray for sales!
