Kate Spade Tuileries Bracelet

This is a fun statement piece that begs to be noticed. I'd wear it with a little black dress. The Tuileries Bracelet is also available in blue and pink tones but I'm smitten with the earthy hues of topaz, gold and cream pearls. Also check out the ring, earrings and necklace from the same collection. Buy it for $175 at KateSpade.com

James Perse Limited Edition Tricycle

This is the epitome of Baby Luxe. The James Perse '70s-inspired design, in powder-coated black paint, features a teak-wood deck on the back. Hoping to get my hands on one for my little guy. It might even make up for having our Paul Frank bikes and baby bike seat stolen last weekend [sigh]. Available by invitation only at James Perse.

Twelfth Street By Cynthia Vincent Idalia Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits have made a strong comeback in the past few seasons and will continue to be a hot trend this fall. I'm still searching for the right one. This silk number from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent could be the style for me. Why I love it: side pockets, smocked waist, short sleeves, subtle details, nice silhouette. Plus, the silk fabrication would be incredibly comfortable. Adding it to my wish list. Buy it at RevolveClothing.com

Alexis Bittar Hinged Cushion Cuff

File it under affordable luxe. This chunky, flashy cuff from famed designer Alexis Bittar is on sale for $187.50, reg. $375 at theOutnet.com

Stella McCartney Slouchy Appaloosa

Currently coveting this crackled faux leather satchel. Buy it at IntermixOnline.com if you're in the mood to splurge on some Stella.

LuxeList | Cruiser Bikes

Saturday was a sad day in our household because our beloved Nirve beach cruisers were stolen—one with a brand new iBert baby seat attached. Needless to say I'm bitter, bummed and bikeless. So while I contemplate whether or not to replace my no longer available Paul Frank Aku cruiser, I'm checking out the current offerings from the coolest cruiser brands. Here are the ones that I find most tempting (clockwise from top left):

• Schwinn 2009 Classic Al Three
• Trek Wasabi Surf Rider
• Electra Townie
• Nirve Paul Frank City Bike
  
• Nirve Rio Mettalic Coffee
• Electra Coaster 7D Mint

Darphin New Water Cleansers

Darphin is a great line and I recently sampled their latest cleansers: the Cleansing Foam Gel with Water Lily and the Cleansing Milky Emulsion with Verbena. They are equally fabulous, as expected. Both are gentle, water-based blends that remove make-up, soothe, soften and refresh.

Tory Burch Fall 2009 + Private Sale

I'm enjoying the heat of summer, wearing maxi dresses and comfy tees. But pre-fall collections are rolling into stores. Want a preview of Fall '09 from Tory Burch? Visit ToryBurch.com for a look at the fall ensembles. And check out this cool vid she posted recently, highlighting some of the new designs: If you want to score some affordable luxe deals on previous seasons from TB, check out the private sale offerings. I'm smitten with the Banana Yellow Amandine Sandal.
