The Palma Jocelyn Clutch from Kate Spade is unique - and not just because of the unusually bright choice of fabric. The clutch has a fold-over design with a smooth leather handle accented by Spade's signature gold studs. The opening of the clutch is secured with a zipper, making it quite secure, and it could even be carried as a small handbag instead of solely used as a clutch. Getting back to the print, the cotton-twill fabric has a tropics-inspired color scheme that really makes a big statement for a relatively small, slim bag (7 x 11-in). Price: $165.

Another fun summer shoe, Miu Miu's Peony Wedges are similar in concept to the Coach Mattie Wedges. Just like the Coach pair, these wedges have a floral pattern to add interest to their 5-inch platform heels, though the earthy tones of the peonies are considerably more demure than the bright blooms of the other pair. The soft tan-colored leather straps will hold the sandals securely in place during all summer activities, and they fasten with a gold buckle. Price: $395.

After finding a forgotten bottle of body spray in the bottom of a long-unused suitcase, I popped open the lid to check out the scent. Not only did it bring back memories of the the beach, the harbor and good friends - it was from a trip to Sydney - but it smelled wonderful. It was fresh and flowery, with definite fruity overtones. Very feminine and very springy.

I'll be the first to admit that this bottle of Evoke Surf Chic body spray was a drugstore purchase, probably bought out of necessity at the time, but I was glad to have found it. The problem was that I didn't know how to get more. A brief search turned up no sites that would ship overseas to the US, though the company still makes it. I wrote down all the fragrance notes and, in the hope of finding something similar, I turned to Sephora's Fragrance Finder.

Floral was my first selection, followed by floral, again. Looking at the options on the very first page, I was completely astounded to find that Yves St Laurent's Baby Doll perfume contains the exact same fragrance notes. I drove out to the nearest Sephora to compare the scents and, except for the slightly more alcoholic note of the perfume, it was nearly identical. Twenty minutes later, I was home and reliving the memories of a great trip via my new perfume. Price, 1.6-oz.: $54.

Western is hot, especially when it comes to shoes and handbags. Bags with buckles are still at the top of the fashionista's must-have list, though, so the fusion of the two trends would create the perfect bag. At least, that's what the designers at Etro were telling themselves. They have a penchant for pushing the limits of design, so it is no surprise that they came up with the Western Floral Pony Satchel. The busy bag is soft brown snakeskin leather, glazed red in spots and embossed with flowers, trimmed with a spotted pony pattern. It is adorned with antiqued silver spurs, studs and buckles, accented with yellow leather ribbons and has a purple satin interior. I can't make up my mind as to whether I love it or hate it, but I definitely can't tear my eyes away. Price: $1,450.
