Judith Leiber Dream Weaver Clutch, $2,495.00
www.neimanmarcus.com
MINNIE: These evening bags are an investment piece. They are georeous and I think of mine almost like art. I like mine not just with black tie. Its a fun way to glam up jeans. I imagine I will pass it down to my daughter one day.
JANE & LIZ: We couldn't agree more Judith Leiber bags are works of art and forever pieces (like jewels).

Footzy Rolls Rock'n Roll Red Sole, $30
www.footzyrolls.com
Liz: OMG! These little lightweight ballet slippers roll up into their own little pouch and fit in your day bag or night clutch (they're that small) and whenever your feet are tired from your uncomfy heels, you slip into these. I am never without a pair. Life changing.
Jane: Their cute red sole is made of practical rubber, they come in tons of colors, they are completely foldable and rollable but as cute as any ballet flat and they even come with a big waterproof pouch to stick your stilettos in. So genius. Run to get these, oh wait, you can't run, you are in heels and you don't have footzyrolls yet...

Roger Vivier Ballerina Belle Vivier/pink, $582
www.mytheresa.com/
Liz: Catherine Deneuve made these famous when she wore the black version in Belle De Jour. But this pink pair makes me weak. It would turn any outfit Spring-like. Imagine them with denim or with anything white or with other shades of pink, or Khaki, or navy. Pair them with black for an instant chanel chic look.
Jane: A fellow shopsister, Joni from Seattle actually turned us onto these and Liz and I both flipped. The pink patent with the bright gold buckle feels so fresh and new. Treat them as if they are neutral and literally wear them with everything.

Jose & Maria Barrera Crystal Cuff Bracelet, $590
www.bergdorfgoodman.com
Liz: This is a completely different look from yesterday's turquoise cuff but equally amazing. I love the idea of wearing this over the long skinny sleeve of a sweater or tee.
Jane: A friend gave me a cuff almost identical to this one for my birthday. I have been on a hunt for something similar to share with all of you as Liz and I love mine so much. This is one of those outfit-transforming pieces. I think I like this best with jeans and a tee because it is so unexpected. But this could certainly go black tie and be jaw-dropping.

Floral Motif Turquoise Cuff by Simon Tu, $650
www.vivre.com
Liz: This is the bracelet that will get me to wear silver again. Its that good. I am visualizing myself in head to toe white or head-to-toe black (skinny jeans + fitted tee) and this bracelet as the only accessory
Jane: And I am visualizing myself in this cuff, a beat up denim shirt tucked into faded jeans tucked into western style boots or my over the knee beige chloe boots. Yes, I am stuck in the 1970s and yes I worshiped Jacqueline Bisset

Valentino Denim Petal Tote, $1,395.00
www.neimanmarcus.com
Liz: Confession: I have never thought too much about Valentino but this Spring I am obsessed. There is something about the way he did these soft large flowers on dresses, shoes and handbags that has me drooling. This tote is such a convenient every day shape. Covering it all in denim feels so unexpected and chic. I want to carry this bag every day with everything.
Jane: And we know this is pricey but actually for Valentino, it's not. If there is one place that we believe you should invest in, it's shoes and handbags. We had trouble selecting just one as every single bag in the collection is TDF (to die for!). Most are just even pricier.

Lanvin Macrame Pompom Necklace, $995.00
barneys.com
Liz: We realize that this is expensive and that there are many cheaper versions. But those are imitators and this is the real deal. It is beautiful and worth it. Please don't get hung up on the fact that its pink (which is stunning). Treat it like a neutral and wear it with everything.
Jane: I thought pink was a plus! I know we have said this before but I have to say it again: This is an outfit-transformer. No matter what you are wearing, tee shirt, tank top, little dress, sweater, put this on and abracadra your outfit looks instantly expensive and chic (even if the clothing you are pairing it with is not....)

Lisa Perry Duffel, $295
lisaperrystyle.com
Liz: This is the perfect overnight or carry-on bag. Every color it comes in makes me smile. Another plus, I hate a heavy bag and this one at least starts light.
Jane: If you were lucky enough to see Liz on HSN last weekend then you already know that "turquoise is the color of the year!". And If you don't, you weren't paying attention. But seriously, j'adore turquoise and this weekender is perfect.

MICHAEL KORS Rhodium Cuff, Clear, $175.00
www.michaelkors.com
Liz: Lucite is everywhere this season! Have you seen Fendi's clear clutch?? I think it goes without saying that clear goes with absolutely everything.
Jane: Though I love lucite, plexiglass, etc as much as the next girl, I find this trend a bit puzzling. Clear handbags are chic, until they are junked up with all your stuff inside. This cuff is the perfect way to dip your pinkie toe (or wrist) into this trend without being a fashion victim (unless you have a very hairy arm in which case skip it).

Nixon Vega Watch - Women's, $59.95
www.backcountry.com
Liz: Confession: I am a watch snob. But I do love a watch that is not trying to be something it is not. This watch has such a great retro feel. It also doubles as a big bracelet. Guilt free shopping: Nixon donates proceeds to Breast Cancer.
Jane: This watch reminds me of the Gucci Bubble Watch our mother had back in the 1970's where she could switch out the faces in different colors. I kind of want one of these in every color to match my outfit everyday. It is also great for working out but unfortunately not waterproof. Fashion before function!
