When it comes to true beauty, we’ve been told that it’s what on the inside that counts. Not so in the case of Valextra’s leather-trimmed makeup case. With its futuristic, textured design I doubt any of the shadows, glosses, palettes or stains hidden within could match this exterior’s eye-appeal. See which color’s our favorite!

Without question the most fun fall trend is feathers. I adore the flights of fancy in shoes, bags, jackets, skirts and jewelry. Among the flock of finery Harry Winston’s Premier Feather watches stand out. The iconic American jeweler commissioned a master craftswoman named Nelly Saunier, one of the few people in the world with skills in feather marquetry, to place the tiny plumes around the face of the timepieces. The feather work took over seven hours on each watch. I could spend a lifetime enjoying one. Which Fine Feathered Watch Won Our Hearts?

The Place Vendôme in Paris may be the most formal and historic address in the world for fine jewelry but Repossi artistic director Gaia Repossi makes designs at her studio there that are as modern as, well, she is. Her sleek signature ear cuffs—seen on Diane Kruger—could just as easily be worn during the designer’s summer adventures documented on Twitter (@gaiarepossi). Add Edge To Your Wardrobe!

A few weeks ago, I spotted Essie’s Mirror Metallic collection at my neighborhood salon and treated myself to a solid gold pedicure. I’ve been obsessed with the polish ever since. Marni’s platform sandals have the same effect on me. Hi-shine and ultra-luxe, these pumps make my feet look look rich no matter how mistreated they’ve been. So on weeks that I can’t make it to a nail appointment, my toes will still be Good as Gold. Find out where to buy these heels

I have a friend with a fear of feathers, a phobia I always saw as irrational, until now! Less Tweety and more The Birds, there’s nothing soft and cuddly about Gucci’s killer iridescent heels. I doubt my pal will be the only one gasping when I enter the room in these dangerously sexy stilettos. Love these stilts? Get them here!

I love the classics, so when it comes to style icons no one ranks higher than Grace Kelly in my book. Apparently I’m not alone in my adoration as the royal beauty has inspired Mark Cross’s sophisticated crocodile carrier. The small box trunk is an update on the overnight case Kelly toted in the equally quintessential Rear Window. Much like its onscreen namesake, this design is sleek, refined and absolutely timeless. How much will this luxe design set you back?

Much as I’d like to be a Givenchy girl a la Liv Tyler or Rooney Mara, I don’t have the edge for some of the label’s more daring designs. But I could dip one foot (or rather two sleeves) into the Riccardo Tisci pool with this streamlined wool blazer. The lean, classic cut feels totally my style, while the siren red arms lend a fashion-forward edge. I may not pair my topper with the collection’s furry caps and knee-high boots, but my look will be Givenchy through and through.

When Jennifer Lopez was named an American Idol judge, we knew she’d bring the sexy—and did she ever! Sequin bodysuits, plunging minidresses and my favorite style moment: Giuseppe Zanotti’s twisted gold heels. Since I don’t have the wardrobe (or gams) of Ms. Lopez, I’d opt for the label’s flat sandals and strut the sidewalk with the confidence that the former judge always brought to the stage.
