Chloe Bag with Horse Charms

Why it becomes vogue to vibe horsey, I still don't get. I suppose there's this classic Katherine Hepburn hip: equestrian chic is casually elegant, equestrian chic is roughly urbane, and I suppose—

Horse charms are just kind of cute.

But would you pay $1,225 for them? Chloe bag included, of course.

What do you ladies think? Is this Chloe non-Paddington your new It bag, or a pass?

Juicy Couture Equestrian Bracelet

Like modern mod and neo-1950s vogue, equestrian chic swings in and out of style.

So check this Juicy Couture stirrup-inspired cuff, all 12K goldplated hardware, all classic Americana made in China, marked up to $82.

I'm sticking to my K-stamped silver goods, but what about you ladies?

Is this Juicy Couture bracelet boss, or just a decent Gucci horse-bit knock-off?

Studded Christian Louboutin Boots

Christian Louboutin donjon boots via Net-A-Porter.com

I let him cheat on me with every C-list tartlet in Hollywood walking all over him, but I'm wondering my love affair with Monsieur Louboutin finally ends with these over-the-knee boots.

Riddled with gold studs, even though these Christian Louboutin boots ($3,173, Net-A-Porter) are missing a five-inch heel, they vibe more S&M than smart S-E-X.

The only way these flat boots are practical is that they'll frighten most chicks into picking a more classic heel. I'll stick with my Italiano lover Giuseppe Zanotti for Starbucks dates, now.

What do you ladies think? Are you loving or leaving these Christian Louboutin boots?

Street Walk | Gustto "Cala" Clutch

I’ve never paid much mind to arm candy and its weight with style—boys are nice and all, but I figured a heel with an ambitious arch and proud posture say more about a chick than any dude dangling off her arm.

Same goes for handbags.

Then I saw Betsy and her outfit’s black styled un-basic by her Gustto “Cala” clutch ($345). All boss black accented by a bold, gold disc, the bag vibed confident, smart, and rich.

I wonder if it has a single brother.

Stephen Dweck Ring

Stephen Dweck ring via BergdorfGoodman.com Styled more boho chic than Sienna Miller's wardrobe circa Jude Law drama, this Stephen Dweck carved tiger's eye ring ($350, Bergdorf Goodman) is:

a. As finger-print unique as its kaleidoscopal floral carving and textured bronze setting.

b. The perf right-hand ring to declare devotion to your career, versus your man of the moment.

c. Farther from a fashion bullseye than MK Olsen's Marky Marc Jacobs wrap dress.

Your thoughts, lovelies? Are you loving or leaving this Stephen Dweck ring? Would you sport it?

Bamboo and Ostrich Gucci Bag

Gucci bamboo-handle bag via Saks.com I love animals more than PETA, so it only follows that I'm a sucker for all things ostrich: bags, belts, or feathers... Or this Gucci bamboo-handle bag ($9,590, Saks).

Still, styling fingerprint unique is priceless, unlike this bag and unlike Saks' "popular demand" warning about buying it.

I think I'll send ten grand to my broker instead.

What about you ladies? Would you spend almost $10,000 on a bag? Are you loving or leaving this Gucci bag?

Roberto Cavalli Shoe Bootie

As unlikely as my rocking flats is Roberto Cavalli creating something that doesn't vibe smart S-E-X. Excepting maybe his concert costume creations for J Lo. But they were just that —

Costume.

And while some would say the same for these pumps, I love the sleeky chic of Roberto Cavalli's bootie shoe ($905, eLUXURY). Part mary jane, part bootie, all boss, these shoe boots' oil-slick leather, elasticized T-strap, and 4+" heel make my wish list for upcoming Kwanzanukkah.

Triple check how Signor Cavalli balances being over-the-top with completely wearable—

Because when you're sporting the shoe bootie, everyone else will, too.
