Slip On a Pair of Ultra-Stylish Designer Flip-Flops from TheFind!

For those of us with the hard-to-please combination of finicky fashion taste and a hectic busy schedule, it can be difficult to find the perfect summer shoe that maintains a sense of upscale style while still allowing you to get up and go at a moment's notice. Luckily for us label-loving ladies (who still happen to have a low-maintenance side), many of our favorite designers have created a slew of stunning flip-flops perfect for sun-basking, pool-lounging, and of course, last-minute errand-running when we want something we can slip on quickly without looking sloppy! Opt for something practical that goes with everything, but still lets you show off a little character like these Marc by Marc Jacobs flip-flops or the ever-popular Tory Burch Thora Sandals, which come in a multitude of colors and textures to suit your own personal style. Opt for a spring-festive pop of color like these Diane von Furstenberg 'Lush' sandals in turquoise or yellow, or stand out with intricate embellishments like these Giuseppe Zanotti Stone Sandals, or the very whimsical Miss Trish Splash 'Eva' Flip Flops!

Valentine's treat: $10 manicure at Le Chic Nail Spa in NYC!

If you looking for a little Valentine's treat, head over to Le Chic Nail Spa in NYC's Lower East Side for a $10 manicure! I was recently at Economy Candy (an incredibly SWEET place), and as I left and walked down the block, a friendly face waved and smiled. Before I knew it, I was inside, enjoying a manicure in their spotlessly clean salon. The proprietress did my manicure with freshly-sterilized tools out of a sealed bag, and as she deftly tamed my ragged cuticles, I enjoyed the decor: utilitarian, but easy on the eyes, with good lighting and soothing periwinkle blue walls. While my nails were drying, she gave me a mini shoulder massage (a welcome treat after lugging around a heavy bag), and offered me cookies and tea. She invited me to come back and try their pedicure, which I'll definitely do, once we're able to show our toes in sandals! All in all, their prices are great and service is efficient and friendly. Plus, they'll give you a card to fill out each time you come, and you'll get the 10th treatment free, just like your coffee! So here's the scoop: Le Chic Nail Spa, 128 Rivington St., NY NY 10002. tel: 212 995-2288

Here's a list of their services:
Basic manicure: $10.00
Pedicure: $20.00
Basic bikini wax: $15.00
Brazilian wax: $40.00
Chair massage: 10 mins. - $10.00
20 mins. - $20.00
60 mins. - $50.00

These ballet flats must be the deal of the century at $29.99, regularly $69.50! I just ordered myself a pair in black suede, but I was really torn between that color and the cognac-hued brown pair.

Slip them on with spring's new hot item, the wide-legged jean! They're $29.99 from Lands' End Canvas.

Tweed biker vest $108 from Miss Me!

This vest has a whiff of Chanel with it's raw-edged seams and tweedy texture, which can only be a good thing. Slip it on over a thin wool sweater, or layer it up like the model with a cami and cardigan underneath. Or maybe you're feeling daring, and you just wear it on it's own, zipped up?

Ducks with style: UGG Ashdale shoes from Zappos!

All this snow and rain has forced duck shoes back into fashion! They were all the rage when I was in college (too long ago, don't even ask) and I steered clear of them because, in my humble opinion, they were just too preppy. They've managed to come full circle, and now even UGG has joined the pack of duck shoe-makers. This pair is actually pretty good-looking, and in black shiny patent and rubber, manages to blend nicely into any city slicker's wardrobe. Waterproof and padded with a comfy sheepskin insole, they'll have you walking on cloud nine--in spite of the snow and rain! They're $90.00 from Zappos.

Grandpa cardigan now $103 from Alexander Wang!

It seems kind of ironic that a trendy designer like Alexander Wang would offer up a piece called a "Grandpa Cardigan", but so it goes! (They're a bunch of busy bees over there in the AW design studios; the lights from the studios burn well into the wee hours many nights and are clearly visible from my bedroom window.) Actually, this cardigan is a comfy, relaxed piece that would be great over a long sleeved tissue T and leggings on a cold, snowy day cooped up indoors. It has a bit of tweedy appeal, too, because of the wool blend yarn, but it also comes in black and mushroom. Best yet, it's on sale, regularly $214.00, now $103.00, from Alexander Wang.
