Perfectly adorable and ideal for stashing your weekend essentials, this cheerful bag does the job right.

A lightweight silk dress won't take up a lot of room in your weekender and is perfect if you need to dress up for a dinner or event.

A small, neutral shoulder bag is a must for a long weekend. I chose this Reed Krakoff gem because it's super chic and pairs well with almost any outfit.

This hi lo racerback tank pairs perfectly with jean shorts for a casual but stylish daytime look.

You can't kick-off summer without a solid pair of cutoff denim shorts. These frayed versions are tailored enough to wear both on and off the shoreline.

A wedge is the perfect getaway shoe because it's easy to walk in but dresses up your wardrobe for night. And you can never go wrong with a design from the Madison Harding girls.

Not only does this cocktail ring boast a super cool design, it opens to reveal a tiny secret compartment. Perfect for the party, if you catch my drift.

Could this pink be more perfect to celebrate the beginning of summer? Plus, every cent of every Viva Glam sale still goes to help those affected by HIV and AIDS.

Makeup is not a requirement to enjoy the surf and sun, so keep it simple with a shimmering bronzing powder and not much else.

Perfect for walking on the beach, running to the farmers market or lounging by the bonfire, these sandals could be the only pair you wear all weekend.

This adorable dress is perfect for throwing on over your swimsuit or having lunch on the terrace.

This ultra-lightweight spray works to polish dry or damaged hair while it protects your locks from UV damage.

Nothing ages our precious skin like too much sun! Get a tan, but get it safely with quality sunscreen.

We are huge fans of Marimekko, so we are obviously obsessing over this pop-y graphic beach towel.

What is better than a bright tribal print for summer? Removable halter straps ensure a fab even tan.

It's still May, and the nights can carry quite the chill. This classic white-washed denim jacket is perfect for covering your shoulders as the sun goes down.

Fashion and function join forces best in a sunhat. Not only does it protect your face and hair from harmful UV rays, it looks fabulous dahhhling.

Gold tone spikes, dipped enamel and engraved skull beads make for the ideal summer statement necklace.

Start with a skirt that plays hide and seek. The double slit will make it sexy for Saturday, but the length says it's brunch time.

Super Slit

For a hot night out, a little bustier that just meets the top of your high skirt is just the ticket. The bright colors keep it playful for day.

Pop the Top

Wear it open and slouched over the bustier tonight. Tomorrow, button up. The sheer will only let some of your true colors show.

Sheer Cover

This points in the direction of the girls' night out, but the size allows for a touch of modesty.

Bib Baubles

Giant primary bangles knock the dance floor down, but can also wrangle in a spanish omelet.

Bangin' Bright

The chunkier the heel, the larger the platform, the more acceptable (and painless) it will be to walk anywhere Sunday morning.

Thick Heel

Two tone neon-tan suits every all hours, and the adjustable strap gives you options. And it's size-y enough for a toothbrush.

Teeny Neon Satchel

It's all coming up roses the morning after. Let your eyes do the blushing, not your cheeks.

Rosy Shades

Summer booty shaking ain't summer booty shaking without a good pair of hot pants. Rihanna's stylist went the solid color route in Rude Boy, but we are in love with this Sequined Mex Tex pair from ASOS. And the bright colors are so in sync with the vid.

Leopard boots are an absolute must for every video ho, especially if you want to channel RiRi's look. And who can we turn to besides Christian Louboutin for the sexiest pair on the market?

Layer them on, girl, because Rihanna is blinged-out. For starters, check out this Big Links Chain from Betsey Johnson. Then add them by the handful until you can barely lift your neck.

Throw on a huge, fabulous pair of earrings and add a shiny gold ear cuff for good measure. Rihanna wanted to take flight, and you can too with this gold-tone, angel wing version.

Rihanna's makeup is super fierce in "Rude Boy," especially this fiery pink eye she's rocking. To get the look, choose a bright, rosy shadow like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Woodstock. Sweep the hue from the inner corner of your eye past the outer corner for a cat eye effect. Finish with thick eyeliner on top and bottom lash lines and black mascara.

Chris K. revved up this rainbow trend on the runway. See which brands have thus been searching for this pot of gold.

Cigarette skinnies burn rainbow bright.

Be the rainbow in the storm.

Multi-color yourself in this rainbow raincoat made of recycled army parachute nylon.

Roy G. Biv gets all up on your body.

Set the disco rainbow on high.

This 4.5 inch rainbow will have you jogging with your head above the fog.

Gotta cutoff this rainbow trend at some point.

Grab an ice pop, and take the little girl in you, and on your backback, to Central Park. It might be all the nature you two can handle.

"Don't touch my stuff," says the angsty child inside. Great for middle school corridors, it also brings a little levity to your look.

The classic throw-around pack seems slightly sophisticated in this purple/pink combo.

Chanel-ish chains and tassels grows this bag into the teenage dream.

Mint is fresh.

For only your most peace-and-love loving days.

Keep your voodoo magic mobile.

Throw bubblegum pink bubbles of Nylon on your back, and take yourself on an adventure.

Become a walking piece of art. Nicholas Kirkwood's Scribble-Flower heels bring his sketches to life in a very literal way.

Go electric with blocked colors in the new neon hues.

Can't drop seven Benjamins on light bright tootsies? Try this blinder from

Layered beads at the ankle shake exoticism with each step.

Starring in plastic, on a gold platform, these sexy Charlotte Olympia pumps are also a trick of the eye.

Go candy colored in luminous pastels. Christian Louboutin will ensure your sole is still red.

Well now I know where Jeffrey Campbell might have been inspired for my Peruvian-esque printed woven wicker heeled shoe. This Lanvin shoe took the theme all the way with braided leather. The rest of my JC is all plastic.

Not only will your feet be vibrantly wedged, but they'll also be elasticized into place by the architects at United Nude.

Go geometrically striped in a darker than bubblegum pink for a solid summer jogging shoe. Now that's a statement.

I like the way thisshape frames the brow, it gives your eyes a very alert look. And the bridge coming up metal connects them in a certainly non-unibrowish look. The tortoise translucence will give your face a soft look even on the coolest days (that may or may not come, given the balmy conditions of our New Year’s Eve – knock on wood, I’d like it to stay this warm, thank you).

If your new year’s resolution has anything to do with being fiscally responsible and looking superfine, you might consider sumpin’ like this.

Set up like your traditional Chinese restaurant, bright lighting, live crabs in the window, this Cantonese style seafood delight is fresh on everything.

We're tangoing outside of Chinatown for a minute, but given the inherent jewishness of the name, we had to give Sammy's a shot. Perhaps here, go for the moderately conservative Jew look. Long skirt, sheer shirt, Chanukah colors....

Yup, you read that right. So, the food is kind of decent, but the wine is free flowing! If you remember the Silk Road Palace, well, that place got shut down, but this opened in its stead. Okay, so the wine is of the boxed Franzia variety, but when you drink so much of it, you'll hardly notice the cheapness. You'll remember again how cheap it is when the bill arrives and you're wasted.

Stick a letter from the heart in this envelope clutch.

Earmuffs that sing, or rather headphones that keep your ears warm, is a gift she (or he) probably won't get herself, but deep down, unknowingly has desperately always wanted.

Your friend doesn't want to smell like everybody else, and is also a diehard Brooklynite. Well, Shipley & Halmos teamed up with DS & Durga to hand-mix cologne in the great land of Brooklyn. They've stirred up only 99 bottles of scents that emit memories of sunscreen and fresh alpine snow. Sold brick-and-mortarly exclusively at Byrd in Williamsburg, it is also available on the S&H website for a limited time.

Black and white snowflakes make for a soft sweater that is both chic and festive.

We love how awesome this cute sweater looks with badass metallic gold Balmain pants.

Purple and blue stripes prevent a snowman motif from looking too kitschy.

For the preppy party-goer, this Aspen-esque sweater should be paired with bling for maximum effectiveness.

This delightful snowman reminds us of childhood holiday dress... in a good way.

Trust in the good doctor to give your feet a well supported structure. Consult your physician before getting zebra print. You may want the calf hair.

Throw your money away in style with this blindingly shiny wallet.

Nothing says glamorous like a $7,000 purse shaped like a dog.

Show the Blackjack dealer you mean business with this handsome buttoned-up accessory.

This adorable bag features coated canvas for easy cleaning and little bird friends to keep you company on your journey.

The luxe combination of leather and printed velvet make this the perfect overnight bag for fall.

Soft pebbled cowhide in Storm gray is too handsome for words.

Perfect for both woman and man, this sleek and spacious bag is vegan friendly.

Punchy, bright and perfect for lightening the load of a dreary fall day.

The perfect balance between structured and slouchy, this lightweight bag is as chic as it is utilitarian.

Channel your youthful side with everyone's favorite furry friend.

This wool-twill bag makes a lovely gift to yourself or a stylish friend.

Wang makes a rucksack with mucho storage. The straps also zip together for when you'd rather carry it off one shoulder.

The Rizzler's sassy tassels will carry all your stuff on the fringe.

With an essence of the Givenchy Pandora bag, this one closes square and hangs evenly.

Neutrally crescent, it's an ideal purse replacement.

Stripe it clean on canvas then flap it.

This small satchel acts like lumbar support as it rests low on the back.

A chill out pack to take downtown or out of town.

Sunflower with a hint of mustard, this brightens up the back.

Let someone else break in your pack for you. This vintage style sack looks like it's been yours forever.

MK and A draw the string on fine leathers.

Call me square come a couple of years, but fringe never goes out of style in my mind. Big on the spring runways, this trend can easily be worn in the form of fall jackets and ponchos. DvF knows how to do bohemian chic right.

Don't wait until Spring to channel your inner Roaring Twenties babe. You can work the drop waist right now with your favorite flapper dress. Keep this embellished beauty in mind for a holiday party - throw on a fur shrug and you're ready to go.

And speaking of holiday parties, what dress is more perfect than this? Mesh has been on the scene for a few seasons now, and we can't get enough. Thigh-highs will keep your legs warm with no waistband show-through at the lower back.

Walking around with one bare shoulder doesn't mean a chill is inevitable. This skin-baring trend isn't seasonal when worn the correct way. Throw in cashmere and a scarf and you'll be in business for the colder months.

The blooming shape of a peplum doesn't only come alive in spring; you can wear this ultra-feminine shape year round. Pair a long sleeve blouse and boots with this skirt in the fall for a chic downtown look.

Just because you're cold and miserable doesn't mean you have to look it. Sorbet may be the hot color palette for Spring 2012, but a nice pair of silk trousers in October never hurt anyone. Pair with a blazer and razor sharp pointed-toe boots for a smart daytime look.

Take it back to your glory days of high school. The letterman jacket has been revamped and now a staple of many mens labels this fall.

Double the breast, double the fun. (Wait what?) These blazers and suits are making a major comeback. It's still a pretty emerging trend so try it now before everyone and their mother is doing it.

There are two things to keep in mind for Fall: wear things skinny and when in doubt wear a pattern. Take a cue from the Catholic school boy and rock a plaid necktie.

Forget what you thought about turtlenecks. They aren't just for old people, Europeans, and spies. Prove to be a man of luxury and refinement by keeping it classy and covering up that neck.

When it comes to fall timpieces it's time to square off. Let your round faced watches take a break this season and add some angles to your wrist.

Colors are key this fall. Put away some of your neon pieces from spring and op for more muted bright colors such as green or burnt orange.

While some other trends pay tribute to youth make sure you're bag doesn't scream childish. Carry your belongings in a leather briefcase for a versatile look.

Put the loafers away this season, boys. You never know what you're going to walk into so you'll need something with a harder bottom. Stay sartorial by going with a classic wingtip style.

Oval - Lucky you! People with oval-shaped faces look good in most sunglasses.

TOP ROW: These three are holding in the uptown. They’re probably uncomfortable identifying themselves as rucksacks, but given the drawstring and flapped nature of the closing, they do fit the qualifications.

[Rebecca Minkoff, Dusen Dusen, Badgley Mischka]

MIDDLE ROW: These three canvas sacks should head straight to the mountains or the beach. They’re cute, but only when you’re in full adventure mode.

[Frills & Company, Ecote, Madewell]

BOTTOM ROW: These three fuse the two categories and head downtown. They’ve got a taste of native America in the practical sense.
