Cavalry Coat

Get ready  for Fall. Most of us are indulging in what's left of summer.  Après-Labor Day  look for lots of pea coats and cavalry coats with giant gum ball sized silver and gold buttons. Super cute for a 1960's rock and roll look with curb appeal. Think George Harrison in The Yellow Submarine.

$69 at  Newport News

Beaded Tank Top

One of the cutest  tank tops we've seen this summer.  The neckline of this  top is embellished with sequins, leather ties and hand beading.  With a stunning neckline and empire silhouette, attention will be drawn to the neckline and the high cut of the armholes will make your arms look long and lean. Simply pair this top with a pair of turquoise earrings, and a white knee-length ruffle skirt and you're ready to rock.  Tank Top, $105 at Bliss Spa Online

Wedge Espadrille by Bamboo

If you haven't joined the espadrille party - now is the time! A stylish essential for summer 2005, and meant  to be work with flouncy skirts. We found these wedge espadrilles  (at an amazing price) on Amazon.com and there are still a few sizes available from 5.5 thru  8.5. This style also comes in Ivory and Brown, but we are mad about  this turquoise color.  Turquoise looks chic with black or  coral/white. It also helps if you are adorned with a bronze-y glow. So slather on some self-tanning lotion, tie on these cute espadrilles for lots of summer fun! Bamboo Wedge $20.99 at Amazon.

Striped Picnic Espadrille

Is it a slipper? Is it an Espadrille? What is a Picnic Espadrille? Perhaps this shoe was named for the whimsical stripes and contrast pink binding? Well whatever the case we love these cute little slippers. Imagine these with some slim white cigarette pants or with a bikini and Moroccan inspired tunic?  We're sure that for the affordable price you'll  find  an occasion to wear these cheeky little shoes. Did we mention the pointy toes...simply irresistable!  Striped Picnic Espadrille by Sugar, $19.99 at Amazon.

M Z Wallace Soft Bingo Tote

M Z Wallace's metallic bag is a new twist on the ol' canvas L.L.Bean standby. It seems as though metallics are sweeping the streets this summer. This bag is an excellent choice as a summer tote because of it's classic  shape and excellent quality.  Crafted in a beautiful gold metallic leather (also available in platinum, silver and pink) you'll find many uses  from weekday commuting to weekend beach house getaways.  Soft Bingo Tote Bag, $210 at M Z Wallace New York.
