Even if you’ve been on the requisite weekend trip to D.C. to see the cherry blossoms, that springtime sight pales in comparison to a Tokyo voyage. Chic suggests that you take a cue from Terence Koh and pause for a moment to frolic in the pink sea of tiny flowers...in Japan, of course! It may be Monday, darlings, but we’re feeling calmer by the minute.

A confession: when the Dover Street Market salesman asked us enthusiastically if the bright orange wallet we were purchasing at the time was "our first Comme wallet," we thought he was a little batty. How could a simple---adorable, yes, but simple---wallet have such a cultish following? A few months later, though, and we've drunk the Kool-Aid: obsessed, which is why this little lovely is the next one we have our eye on. Tiny enough to pop into the smallest bag, in a sweetly summery polka-dot print, it's a must. Trust us. THE DETAILS: Comme des Garçons Polka Dot SA8100PD Wallet, $145, www.openingceremony.com

We're used to seeing Lady Amanda Harlech on the arm of the Kaiser, but the stunning beauty on Karl's other arm at last week's Met ball was more of a mystery. Who is the lovely Elisa Sednaoui? Vanity Fair investigated: "The Italian-Egyptian model-slash stars in the designer’s most recent project. 'I was directed by Karl for his latest short movie that will be screened before the Cruise Chanel show in St. Tropez on Monday,' Sednaoui says. 'He showed me a preview the other day and I can’t wait to watch it again!'” You can watch the trailer for yourself here. In the meantime, Sednaoui has just transplanted to New York---so look forward to a fresh new face on the party scene...

Some prefer a Montblanc pen as their luxe writing instrument of choice, but this is no less glam---just un peu less obvious. Yes, this regular old pencil is plated in 24K gold, which makes it a terribly chic update to those No. 2 varieties used in your school days. Stick it behind your ear, and it's practically a piece of jewelry! THE DETAILS: 24K pencil, $20, www.designboom.com
