Alicia Levine Beaded Necklace Silk Top

If you ask me, the current rash of babydoll-style tops is really just a facilitator for being able to eat a really huge meal and then go directly out on the town without worrying about bloating. Unfortunately, such garments can be a bit unflattering, but this one by Alicia Levine is gorgeous enough that it sends the message "best-dressed in the martini bar" as opposed to "I just ate a massive plate of fettucine alfredo".

Jamie Kreitman Ballet Slippers

Because I never met an animal print I didn't like, and because they're the best take on the often-too-sweet ballet slipper I've ever seen, I had to feature these flats by Jamie Kreitman. Pair with dark jeans and a coffee-coloured top and you're set for a day of shopping, perhaps punctuated by a stop for a chai latte and a biscotti.

Get it at Ella Belles, a Texas-based boutique that has lots of gems on offer in their online store.

Stefano Genevese Fedora

It's a funny thing about hats. Most of them look downright silly, but occasionally you come across one that's actually wearable. Maybe the Easter chalk drawings on the sidewalks around my apartment have made me all mushy about crocuses and bunnies, but I think this is a real springtime beauty.

Get it at Honey Jeans.

Kenneth Jay Lane Black Strawberry Necklace

I'm oddly intrigued by this piece of jewelry. It's kind of like black ice cream or something else that seems a bit "off", yet you can't help but love it anyway. It would be fun to wear it with something especially demure, such as a white eyelet dress. You know, for contrast.
