Here & Now

FASHION FRAGRANCE

Narciso Rodriguez's latest fragrance, essence, "celebrates the modern woman." The fashion designer debuts a scent comprised of rose petals, powder notes of iris and hints of amber. And, the bottle -- which Rodriguez designed with the help of Ross Lovegrove -- makes for a fine vanity accessory. Narciso Rodriguez essence, $78 for 50 ml., exclusively sold at Saks Fifth Avenue

SEXY SANDAL

The gladiator is back this spring and, as Stuart Weitzman proves, it's better than ever. This is a life-of-the-party kind of shoe. The heel resembles a tree trunk and you'll find everyone wanting to give it a climb. Pair it with wide leg pants, funky jumpers or a safari shirt dress. Stuart Weitzman Timber platform sandal, $365, Stuart Weitzman at the Forum Shops at Caesars

PRETTY PROTECTION

In this day and age, a single woman who carries condoms in her purse is nothing but smart. But, Just in Case would like to lend those women a little discretion. Their condom compacts provide a way for you to gussy up while simultaneously concealing your safety first mentality. You'll never have to worry about pulling out more than just your keys again. Just in Case condom compact, $19.95 ($199 for Swarovski crystal-covered models), The Palms Shop at Palms Hotel & Casino

IN THE BAG

It's hard to find the perfect little cocktail bag. You have to be able to naturally hold it while sipping a martini and shaking people's hands. The work tote is out of the question, but even an envelope clutch can become cumbersome with no strap. This little number from MAX&Co. is dainty and darling enough to get the job done.
