Need a quick pick me up before your Saturday morning Upper East Side shopping spree? Forget the iced coffee, downtown cupcake confectionary Magnolia Bakery has opened an outpost in Bloomingdale’s. Located on the 3rd Avenue side of the 59th Street store, the 850 square foot shop will be open 7 days a week, before and after store hours to catch the crowds. Let the sugar rush begin.

Inspired by the swanky stylings of Victoria Beckham‘s crocodile tote, Tory Burch‘s orange and pink dress and Miu Miu‘s navy and white bikini, these sweet treats are oozing cute. Found at The Berkeley hotel in London’s afternoon Prêt-à-Portea, they have even got celebs like Gwenyth Paltrow, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell priming their fascinators for tea time. Enjoy!

Designer Amanda Elle wasn’t originally the type of girl who dreamt of becoming a fashion designer. But in 2009, Amanda launched a couture-inspired clothing label and then jewelry brand in New York City. Born, a natural artist, attending a specialized high school for the arts as well as NYU Steinhardt’s studio arts program, studying drawing, photography & sculpture, she brought her creative flare to the fashion world. From experimenting with her artistic talents, she created Lolli Popitt – a tastefully provocative and fantastically girlie line which brings you the joy of childhood dress-up in the realm of high fashion — and jewelry line Crystal Knuckles which already has loyal fans like Uma Thurman and Ke$ha. I was able to stop by Lolli Land, her Chelsea design studio, and talk to Amanda about the labels & her transcendence from sculptor to designer, what inspires her and what she has in store for Lolli Poppitt and Crystal Knuckles.

Agreed that delicious, hot, chocolate cupcakes are the ultimate party food, but then do fashionistas and divas really care about the food at the parties? Nah! But then if you actually go ga-ga over the sight of choco cupcakes then here’s a luxurious alternative to display your love for the sinful treat. Whispered to be the World’s most expensive cupcake, obviously not an edible one though, women can dangle this Cupcake evening bag from Judith Leiber. Deliciously caked with loads of choco colored rocks and diamonds, this bag is designed to accommodate a stuff or two like a lipstick for a final touch up or a few bills to tip. And for $4295, who can dare to stuff it with insignificant stuff.
