Pool Scene: The Raleigh Hotel

Q: What's the best accessory for your new art-deco, Old Hollywood inspired summer dress? A: Miami. Reminiscing the 1940's we find ourselves at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami. The private, palm lined pool scene is the perfect escape from the outside world. With free innertubes, a wood burning pizza oven, and accessible wi-fi, you don't need to be anywhere else.

Thank you Jack Spade, you're quirky and adorable.

Remember Rings

Never again will you (let's face it, I mostly mean he) forget that anniversary/birthday/baby shower when you sport a Remember Ring ($760; Pre-order). 24 hours before the big day, the HotSpot on the ring will heat up to 120 degrees for approximately 10 seconds, and will continue to do so every hour, on the hour, all day long (enough time to not only remember, but to scrounge together a fantastic and thoughtful gift).

Lucky Charms

Jane Gordon, NY based jewelry designer, makes emotive jewelry out of green-friendly gold or silver and white diamonds. One piece has diamonds falling out of a broken heart, symbolizing hidden faith and letting go. Gordon explains “The double meaning lies in that you never know when your next lucky break will come”. Lucky Break is her line of rings, necklaces, and pearl enhancers that sell from $850-4,200 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Wine and Bread Bag

California based designer Rebecca Minkoff will soon launch her cleverly designed, green-friendly “Bread and Wine Bag”. The cream canvas tote is 1.5x2 feet and is ideal for carrying anything from a change of shoes to your weekend groceries. 5% of the proceeds go to The Earth Organization, a nonprofit committed to planet rehabilitation.

Fashion & Golf

I will never understand the love for golf, except for when its mixed with fashion and cocktails. Calvin Klein is hosting a party next week at the Four Seasons Golf Club (above) in Dubai to showcase products from all of the company's Spring 2008 lines. This includes the new Euphoria Intense scent and the new ck Calvin Klein beauty line of cosmetics, which will be exclusively featured on female models. Now this is a golf trip I wouldn't mind taking.

Spring Martini

A weekend catch-up requires 2 things: your favorite friends and cute beverages. Monday's usually mean a detoxifying cup of tea rather than a Sex and the City induced cosmo, but who says you can't sip the herbal goodness out of Anthropologie's beautifully painted floral martini glass?

Evian Facial Spray

After a 2 hour on-board flight delay and a 5 hour nap before work, getting out of bed and facing the world was possibly the last thing I wanted to do this morning. Evian’s Brumisateur sprays are branded to help alleviate these exact troubles. Apparently, the spritzes entitled Shanghai Beauty, New York Nights and Paris Fashion, leave your face refreshed and tingling in the morning. I'm pretty sure they aren't that different than water from the sink, but they do come in these cute Stephane Manel limited edition bottles.
