Ugg Fluffie Flip flop, $30
zappos.com
Liz: I bought these for my son because he absolutely had to have them. When they arrived he said he didn't like them (of course). So, when I caught Jane slipping her feet into them and marveling that she and my son wear the same size shoe I gave them to her. Someone should appreciate them.
Jane: It's true. I think Liz saw the twinkle in my eye as I gazed longingly at these sitting on her bed. Truth: I like anything furry but these are just plain dreamy. I wear them non-stop (like pillows on my feet). I love the chestnut color but I kind of wish Liz had "bought me" the pink or light blue pair. She has some nerve!

Jogo by Pooneh Wristlet Bag , $75
jogobeach.com
Liz: There is nothing chicer than a clutch and I often juggle drink, hors d'oeuvre, and hand shake, all for the sake of fashion. With this little gem of a bag you don't have to. It has a beautiful tonal glass circle that slips over your wrist.
Jane: I like that I can carry this for a walk on the beach (I don't have to risk anything falling in the ocean), hang it off the handle bar of my bike and then take it with me at night. Every color is adorable so have fun and pick a bright. And It is big enough to fit blackberry, lipgloss etc.

Daniblack Women's Lily Flat Luggage Calf, $93.47 + free 2 day shipping
endless.com
Liz: These look so much more expensive than they are. Shoes are the one item that must at least look expensive. This luggage/gold combo is the perfect shoe to wear with jeans (white or blue), black pants, khaki or any fun color that is better not mixed with black.
Jane: I love how lady-like this shoe is. Luggage has all the neutrality of black with all the sophistication of not being black. That said, we simply love this shoe so choose whatever color you like best. This is a great work shoe and will look amazing with skirts, dresses and even shorts.

Louis Mariette Lola crystal hairclip, $155
net-a-porter.com
Liz: I always have a claw-clip in my bag (and on my head). I love this pretty alternative that I can wear with pride instead of slight embarrassment.
Jane: I don't know about you but in this hot, humid weather I can't stand having my hair down. It looks horrible and is uncomfortable. I am always searching for cute hair clips to dress up my pony/bun. This is as good as it gets!

Kate Spade Fiesta Park Quinn Bag, Sale Price: $190
katespade.com
Liz: July is a fantastic time to stock up on summer basics that you will wear now (I mean, who wants to look at fall when its almost 100 degrees out and we aren't even halfway through Summer!). This adorable tote will take me to the beach, shopping in town, to the office (it will fit all my papers, etc) and it will be in my suitcase when I travel to warmer climes this winter. It is both classic and fun.
Jane: Please don't even think about how to wear these cute colors. Seriously, they go with everything you own. Take a deep breath and pretend this bag is neutral and treat it that way. It will add a fun chic pop of color to anything you wear and straw-type bags are timeless. They simply never go out of style.

Gerard Yosca Flower and Pearl Brooch, $165
charmandchain.com
Liz: Jane and I never understood why our mother always bought brooches but now we do and we always try to borrow her uber fancy ones! I love to add a brooch to the 1-shoulder on a simple 1-shoulder dress. It transforms it into my own.
Jane: You heard it here first: Brooches are back! Confession: I kind of want 2 of these as they would look so amazing side by side although the size of this is plenty big enough to stand on its own. Put it on the lapel of a shrunken blazer, on the waist of a dress, smack on the top, front center of a classic shift... be fun and fearless.

Yellow Gold Plated Studded Plastic Set of 6 Bracelets, $125
jennifermillerjewelry.com
Liz: This chic packet of bangles has been my gift of choice this summer. They look so much more expensive than they are. I love the dark turquoise mixed with gold and the fact that these bangles are not all the same size.
Jane: I love the turquoise but I also love the pink version (of course). These look like you got them at a market in Morocco or India. These go with (and add instant chic-ness to) any outfit. They are the perfect summer accessory but would also be amazing over a skinny long sleeve shirt or sweater come fall.

Milly Link Statement Necklace, sale price: $147.50
millyny.com
Liz: They had me at "statement necklace" as I love bold jewelry, it really makes an outfit pop. For now, I will wear this with white or neutral dresses or maybe popping out under a white button front blouse. To me, it looks Italian and expensive.
Jane: And come Fall/Winter this would be so beautiful with a simple black or brown sheath dress or over a solid colored crew neck or turtleneck sweater. Like Milly's clothing, it truly looks like a vintage find.

Il Sandalo Capri Ring Wedge, $315
ilsandalo.com
Liz: Custom sandals like these have been popular in Italy since Jackie kennedy and her sister, Lee, had them made for themselves in Capri in the 1960s. You can buy this pair (or any pair on their site) as is, or you can customize them to be whatever color/size/material you like. In the boutique in Southampton a shoe maker is there to measure your foot and fit a sandal exactly to your feet. BUT these actually run true to size so don't stress about actually having your feet measured! Jane and I love these wooden wedges but every shoe on this site is adorable.
Jane: To customize these just click on the button to "create your own custom sandal". We like the green suede but also adore them in brown leather or white leather. Wear them with any color jeans, any shorts, sundresses or skirts. If you stick to this fab green color, pair it with (today's shorts(!)): navy, white, black, yellow, brown. Really, treat it as if it were a neutral and wear it with ANY color.
