Michael Kors Weekend Tote

If I hadn’t recently blown $250 on a Goldenbleu travel bag (I had to–it was market down from $699!), I would definitely have my eyes on this prize.

This weekender’s black leather straps and streamlined, sporty style will match just perfectly with that ski bunny outfit you’re planning to wear this weekend in Tahoe.

$395 at Vivre.

For Just Enough Attention | What to Wear for New Year’s 2006

I have a similar tank to this from one of J.Crew’s previous seasons, and I’m overjoyed that they’ve brought it back. I love the unusual combination of scattered sequin overlay on lambswool with a racerback cut, plus the new silk chiffon trim, which is so of-the-moment.

Not sure what you’re wearing to that New Year’s Eve bash?

Problem solved!

$99.99 at J.Crew

Henry.Brown Maggie Tennis Tote

This tennis tote is very country club, very preppy, very girly with its flirty pink color, quilting and bow tie. That’s exactly what we love about it — this is not your stinky gym bag.
