Sookie Style
Those eyes peering out from under that leather flap are there for a reason. This Alcide design is just one bag from the Hammitt for True Blood collection. If you're a fan of the HBO hit show, you'll love the significance behind the Sookie, Eric, Lafayette and Fangtasia bags, too. Hammitt for True Blood Alcide bag, $485, store.hbo.com
Sensual Scent
Edward VII once called Cartier the "king of jewelers and jeweler to the kings." It makes sense then that Cartier's newest fragrance would use the lily, a royal flower, as its one note. Baiser Vole is a pure floral scent, using the leaves, petals and pistil of the lily as ingredients. Cartier Baiser Vole, $75 for 1 oz., Nordstrom
Fierce Feline
The Animalier collection from Dolce & Gabbana stays true to its name with this bronzer. The leopard print on the surface wipes away with one swift brush, so the black spots don't transfer to your face. Sweep it across your cheeks, chin and temples for a natural sun-kissed look. The texture feels as impressive as the packaging looks. Dolce & Gabbana Animalier Bronzer, $50, Saks Fifth Avenue
Always & Forever
This is one of those pieces you can buy and justify as an investment. Here's why. It's a classic design in a timeless shade. The neutral blush tone meshes well with everything. The fact it's a crossbody satchel makes your life easier by keeping your hands free. And, Chloe designed it so you know it's top-notch quality. There, you now have a bevy of justifications to buy it. Chloe crossbody satchel, $640, Chloe
