Pssst...did you know that hip girls in Paris absolutely worship Vanessa Bruno? It's true. Just take a quick glance around that town sometime and you'll see her signature canvas & sequin totes on just about every mignonne in sight. This new all-leather version of the VB classic is in all silver. Comme j'adore!

Okay, I know every girl in American either owns a pair of these or wants to own a pair of these...why? Because they're perfect. Everyone needs a quick go-to in the flats department and Tory Burch makes some of the best. What's more - they're available in just about every color under the sun, but who could go wrong with some streamlined silver?
Tory Burch Reva Ballet Flats - $195 at Saks Fifth Avenue.com
Burberry modernizes Donegal tweed and makes pewter downright ladylike with this fabulous jacket. Perfect over skinny jeans, a mini dress, or black pants, this is certainly something that can get good-use into the autumn months. Sophisticated grey gets a dose of panache with its metallic effect - full of personality!

Kate Spade brings her brand of whimsy to your handbag with her little "sea life" coin purses in a rainbow of colors. But who could resist this little silver clam that holds all the clams? Isn't it nice to have something in your pocket that makes you smile?

How about something on your arm that makes you smile? Inevitably, Marc Jacobs supplies just this kind of contentment season after season. His opulent Stam bag makes quite the statement in silver accented with brass hardware. You really can't go wrong with this one - as appropriate with a suit as it is with jeans and a tee...no wonder MJ is such a crowd pleaser!

What makes a classic? Hmmm...something elegant, exciting, refreshing, and timeless. While this Alberta Feretti dress looks like it either stepped out of Andy Warhol's factory, or a set of the original Star Trek, it still works. The adorable a-line shape flatters just about everyone, and it's perfect for breezy summer cocktails, or New Year's Eve. Keep this one in your closet for that go-to bit of fun...

Nothing makes my heart go pitter-patter more than the name Christian Louboutin. The vampish heel heights, the craftsmanship, the luscious red sole...you know you know what I'm talking about. These strappy pumps are special enough for the nightlife, but would also pair really well with some sleek jeans and a blazer for the working day. Sexy AND sophisticated? I love it when I get two for one!

And speaking of blazers...how about this confection from Alvin Valley? Cropped, gathered, easy, and eye-catching...who could resist? I can already see it with some sleek dark-wash jeans on a Friday night out with the girls. Love it!

Another Burberry Prorsum pick? Why yes, and it's worth the double-dose. This lacy cocktail dress is incredibly beautiful, sexy, and elegant. Delicate and feminine, but also given that extra bit of hand-crafted charm in the embellishment. Bohemians meet debutantes in this number...

Of course Gucci always offers a take on the current favorite, and this bag is truly striking. In silver python skin with the classic Gucci handle, this will instantly grab attention from all of your admirers! The classic BoHo shape looks like it's dipped in mercury...I love it when the dress up the old stand-bys!
