Fab Tip: Squeaky Clean Your Patent
It had been a while since I last popped into Yves Saint Laurent, so I just took another Fab field trip. I'm so glad I did because besides leaving with a brand new patent wallet (yay!) — a smaller, gray version of this Yves Saint Laurent Belle De Jour Wallet ($575) — I also left with a helpful tip on how to squeaky clean patent.

Sneak Peek! Matthew Williamson's Red Light Special
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so we couldn't resist showing off these appropriately festive Matthew Williamson pieces. These jewels are so Fab, they don't even need a special occasion to be worn. I would sport the dazzling heart brooch ($200) with a sleek black blazer; the luxurious custom initial wallet ($200) would be an everyday essential; and that amazing ribbon necklace ($650) would be perfection against a simple white tee.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Jelly Jacquard Wallet: Love It or Hate It?

Fashionistas, there's no way you can let Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the biggest shopping day of the year, fall through the cracks. The sales are huge, and I insist on taking advantage!

Glitterati: Lara Bohinc
You might say Lara Bohinc has earned herself some serious bragging rights. She's collaborated on jewelry for both Gucci and Lanvin, and she currently works as a design consultant for Cartier.

Cassette Wallets by Marcella Foschi
These fun neon bright retro cassette wallets made their debut at the Tokyo Designboom 2006 Mart where young design professionals showcased their latest products and showed off their geeky talents. Created by Italian designer Marcella Foschi, these wallets are actually hand made from real (Italian) cassette tapes. Geek chic and Italian - be still my heart.
Designer Spotlight: Tusk
I always get compliments on my Tusk wallet (see below). I have been a Tusk devotee for a few years now; these fine leather goods are great quality for great prices. Asian influences are evident throughout the Italian leather goods in spicy, saturated colors through hand-applied vegetable dyes.
Shopping Must-Have: Hip Wallets
If you shop as much as I do, it's important to have a hip wallet. After all, you're most likely going to be opening it a lot, so why not have a stylish wallet you'll want to show off? For Fall, I've found a number of great autumnal wallets in funky earthy tones and metallics.
