When it comes to bags we've discussed that we love prints, but many of the popular print bags are a little crazy for us . What if you could pick your print and personalize it? That's what Initials, Inc. lets you do. They offer a ton of products from purses to totes to makeup bags, and they even offer home goods like print cooler buckets, plates and fabric bins. First you pick your product (like the satchel pictured here). Then you pick your print. Finally, you pick your personalization. You can put your Initials on your purse or have your makeup bag greet you with "Hello Gorgeous." You could gift all your bridesmaids with personalized totes or label the laundry bins so your family knows what goes where. There are even backpacks for kids with prints and personalization they can pick out themselves. The possibilities really are endless. Visit Initials, Inc. and click the shop link to check out their products.

Tomorrow the world will have a new Princess. Five-year-old me is running around in a fluffy pink dress and squealing with delight. I was a Disney Princess girl all the way (Of the princesses pictured here, Belle is my favorite. She's a brunette who reads). For all five-year-old yous out there in love with princess and all of you mourning the death of a teenage dream to marry Prince William, don't worry.

Jocks have March Madness. Comic geeks have ComicCon. Fashion nerds have the annual Costume Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met Gala, with it's themes and commissions from the fashion elite, is bigger and more fun than the Oscars. It's a time when those crazy dream dresses are worn are by guest list more concerned with impressing Anna Wintour (who's a co-chair of the event) than with impressing E!'s Fashion Police (who won't be invited). While I wish this Alexander McQueen exhibition were done under better circumstances, I'm thrilled that in a few days I'll be in New York looking at these clothes. Not being able to stand another minute of waiting, I ran out to buy this month's Vogue so I could ogle the Steven Meisel snapped editorial " Alexander The Great ." (Click for super size.) The party to kick off the event is Monday. I'm crossing my fingers that McQueen will be worn well and that Lady Gaga will remember it's not her pa...

I have a weakness for bows. I can think of few things that wouldn't be improved by a bow. I've been noticing a ton of pretty bow blouses in the stores this spring, which has me quite happy.

Roommate is struggling with how to wear plaid. You see, she loves plaid but feels her curly hair and freckles automatically push her into country territory. Just like in college, I have some ideas for what she should wear. Make it sweet. Not ruffles and lace sweet, because that still has a little cowgirl in it. This sweet is more Elle Woods. Pair your plaid with a cute skirt (a chic cut is best) then pile on the hot pink accessories. If nothing else, put a pink scarf in your hair and wear some pink lip gloss. This would work with any neon as well. Barbie Plaid by Fashion Me Fabulous featuring a leather tote Make it tough. Pull a Johnny Cash and straddle the line between country and rock. Throw a motorcycle jacket over your plaid shirt. Break out the skinny jeans (black over blue). Pull on your butt-kicking boots with some tough jewelry. Now practice your icy stare. (For the record, Roommate is physically incapable of an icy stare.) Toughen Up by Fashion Me Fabulous featuring a ho...

Everyone's going nuts this season for Prada's "flatforms." Nuts is the right word; they are the biggest crime ever perpetrated against an oxford.

The question isn't so much if you love or loathe these cute yellow pumps. "Eyeconic" by Poetic License ($94 at Lori's Shoes) has a kitchy, adorable charm that will appeal to all but the most serious. I'd want to wear them with a blue seersucker dress or jeans with a coral silk blouse. But I imagine both of those outfits being worn on a weekend. Would you wear these shoes with their indomitable cheer to the office? Would they help you fight the drudgery of TPS reports or would their glee be out of place in a budget meeting?

While waiting in the doctor's office, I bided my time flipping through a bevy of fashion-adjacent back issues. After so many makeup editorials, I realized they never specified what shade of skin the makeup is for, but they're all for the same mid-toned white women. A few months ago I bought some tinted eye cream. It's for a complexion darker than mine, so it actually makes my eyes look tired. Tricks and tips that are good for some can go haywire on others. Likewise, trendy colors of makeup will look different on different skin tones. In fact, Yves Saint Laurent scrapped their planned purple lip for the fall runway because it didn't work on everyone in their diverse cast of models. I'm a pale girl, and I don't feel comfortable giving makeup advice for skin I don't live in. (Most of our hair tips are for curly hair for the same reason.) While you'll find my well of knowledge dry on makeup tips for other skin tones, more qualified people than I have dove in...
