Kooba Billie Nylon Zipper Bag On Sale

On sale right now at Neiman Marcus is the Kooba Billie Nylon Zipper Bag that's only $132 (was $295). I love the shoulder bag shape, tonal piping, and cool zipper design. It's the perfect bag for any kind of weather (or for moms with kids)! Choose from purple, silver, or black.

Best Dressed at the People's Choice Awards

I haven't watched the People's Choice Awards in years but decided to last night after I saw all the tweets pop up on my computer. It got me excited for the start of awards season because I love watching red carpet fashion (and laugh at the commentary). To be honest there wasn't that much fashion that night, mostly it was one big commercial for new movies, the Twilight series, and for Taylor Swift. (Heck, even Johnny Depp was starry-eyed over lil Taylor.) The surprise look of the evening and appearance was supermodel Niki Taylor wearing a stunning sleek black dress by Donna Karan. Niki was there on behalf of Covergirl helping to promote their new contest at the awards show.

My second favorite at the awards show was Natalie Portman who showed off her wee baby bump for the first time in a ruffled Jason Wu dress with mesh Dior pumps. She's just adorable in anything.

Gotta love this sweet Taylor Swift! She did this organza embroidered strapless dress by Jenny Packham well. Majorly well! Makes you think there's nothing she can't wear. She seems unstoppable these days!

Finally Kristen Stewart looked amazing in a Reem Acra dress, but when she wasn't fidgeting or hiding behind her hair. This photo is the cutest one of her because she's standing still. On air though, she seemed so majorly uncomfortable in the dress that I wish she just wore a less sparkly one and just wore pants instead. Don't forget, how you wear and carry the dress is more important than the dress itself!

JewelMint Jewelry

Stylehive gives us the scoop on JewelMint, a collaboration between actress Kate Boswoth and stylist Cher Coulter. It's a new way to shop for jewelry! Just take a short style quiz and become a monthly member. Each month, you can choose one of four cute accessories for the set price of $29.99 each. You can opt out if you don't like the choices for the month and you won't be charged. Seems like a great way to expand your jewelry box! To take a closer look at the JewelMint selection, see the slideshow on Stylehive.

Marc Jacobs' Neutral Colored Bags

If you are saving up for a new spring bag pick up one in a neutral tone like the Marc Jacobs Garbo Gene Bag ($1,295 at Saks) or the Marc Jacobs Quilting Metallic Sandy Shoulder Bag ($595 at Saks). Both bags continue the ladylike trend in bags with top handles or chains that we'll keep seeing for at least a couple more seasons I believe. What's great is that you can start wearing the bags now with your dark wintery attire and still look really put together. It will give your black outfits a nice pop! I love how Marc is bringing in touches of Louis Vuitton with the addition of padlocks now on some of his bags.

The khaki tones in these two bags also work well for winter and spring. Pictured above are the Marc Jacobs Quilting XL Single Leather Bag ($795 at Saks) and the Marc Jacobs Vanessa Simple Singe Leather Mini Bag ($395 at Saks).

The Return of the Poncho

Ponchos are back this winter (like capes coats), but more stylized than ever. Here Kate Hudson wears a Louis Vuitton Poncho from the 2010 Pre-Fall Collection while at the Tribeca Film Festival. Ponchos these days don't have to look tribal, they can also look quite sleek and work well as a big cozy sweater.

Here are some of my picks for modern ponchos:

James Perse Striped Poncho ($350 at Neiman Marcus)

Nordstrom Convertible Knit Poncho (On sale for $38.90, was $78 at Nordstrom)

MICHAEL Michael Kors Heathered Poncho ($120 at Nordstrom)

Madewell Bird's Eye Stitch Poncho ($198 at Shopbop)

Rag & Bone Northfield Poncho (On sale for $556.50, was $795 at Shopbop)
