It would be idea with jeans or another casual outfit, but it could certainly be used to accessorize slightly dressier fall look, as well. Price: $1,250.

If you were traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, you’ve probably covered at least half the distance of your trip if you’re not already home by now, so the Etro Multi Patch Weekender probably won’t be helpful right now, although it could still be useful for any traveling later in the holiday season. The funky bag is made of wool and corduroy with brown and orange leather trim, leather handles and a canvas shoulder strap. It has two expandable front pockets and a zip top closure, so it can …

The latest face fix from Creme de la Mer is a two-part system called The Radiant Facial, The facial is an eight-minute treatment that consists of the Radiant Primer, which uses an Anti-Irritant Marine complex to calm and soothe the skin and the Radiant Mast, a cotton mask embedded with tourmaline (the same gem that makes ionic blow dryers work so well).

If you intend to buy the Janell Slipper by Cole Haan for the special lady in your life, you may want to take a gander at the Cole Haan Baby Bootie too (for the cute babies in the family). They are made of super soft suede and lined with shearling to keep the toesies warm on those very cold winter days. The Baby Booties are easy to slip on and off and feature a velcro strap across the front. Last …

This cute, vintage-inspired Lady Dior Cannage Bag from Dior is glamorous and reminds us of something that someone like Audrey Hepburn - classy and elegant - might want to carry around as her accessory of choice. The quilted bag is made out of ultra-soft lambskin and is accented by jewel-finished silver hardware and a series of Dior logo charms. The rounded leather handles are slightly oversized, but give the bag a surprisingly well-proportioned look. It also includes a detachable shoulder strap …

Every year Cole Haan comes out with exclusive holiday gifts. And each year, they have gotten better and better with providing a variety of items, as opposed to a variation of what they normally sell. This year they have holiday gift ideas ranging from pillows, flasks, a bar book, and gifts for the baby. My personal favorite are the warm and luxurious feeling slippers. Pictured here are the Janell Slippers, but you can also get the Avari, a more traditional slipper without the back. The Janell …

We heard about Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. handbags a few months ago, when it was announced that the bags would be available for Spring 2007. We also heard that there would be two lines within that collection: Signature and Love. Not available for preorder, this is the Capri Satchel from the Love line. It features contrasting stripes of smooth leather and soft, logo velvet, accented with gold hardware and an embroidered “L.” It also has a tassel attached to one of the two top handles and measures …

I remember a few years back when Beyonce was wearing similar ankle boots by Manolo Blanik (I think) in her “Lose My Breath” video and the real and inspirational versions could be seen everywhere. After all these years, I still can’t seem to make up my mind if I like lace up ankle boots or not. They look great in videos with the split second shots, but in I am not so sure in real life. But I came across these MJ …

The Celine Pag Satchel is made of mahogany-colored goatskin with a black patent calfskin trim and has and unusually rich look due to the colors and textures of the leather. The Italian-made bag has two patent leather shoulder straps affixed with gold rings, which match the rest of the gold-tone hardware. Like the Zac Posen bag from yesterday, it also has a front flap pocket and is adorned with tassels. A new trend for spring, perhaps? The bag measures 9″H x 14″W x 6 1/2″D. Price: $1,495.
