    On The Cuff

    WHAT: Judith Ripka for QVC purple stingray cuff

    WHY: When it comes to exotic skins, stingray is right up there with ostrich and croc for must coveted (at least for nous), but you still don't see tons of it in your jewelry boxes, do you? Enter Judith Ripka, whose QVC line offers just what you might be missing: a violet, gem-studded cuff in the most divinely textured stingray. Luxe? Bien sûr. But thanks to the wonders of QVC, the price won't sting a bit.

    PRICE: $225

    AVAILABLE: August 22 at midnight, www.qvc.com

    The Alchemist

    WHAT: Sphatika Gold Finishing Serum

    WHY: Whether it's edible gold leaf topping your favorite dessert or stacks of gold bangles on your wrist, there's no denying the appeal of the shiny stuff---even in your makeup. Sphatika's intensive process, which involves turning gold into powder, fermenting it and adding acids, then distilling the liquid several times (done according to the rhythm of the sun and moon), may hearken back to the medieval times, but add just two or three drops to your skin after moisturizing and you'll experience hydration and protection as effective as it is luxurious.

    PRICE: $215

    AVAILABLE: www.sphatika.com, Clyde Chemist and Swing, NYC

    Fall Into The...

    WHAT: Gap real straight jeans

    WHY: Our obsession with gaps is well documented---as is our obsession with perfect denim. But when they come together? Patrick Robinson revolutionized Gap's jeans last year with the 1969 collection, and he's showing no signs of slowing; while his first collection focused on perfecting the basics, the fall lineup is teeming with tiny details that we love, like zippers, legging cuts, and this pair, which is lined with a graphic bird print for an adorable cuff.

    PRICE: $69.50

    AVAILABLE: www.gap.com

    Rosy Outlook

    WHAT: Diane von Furstenberg sunglasses

    WHY: It doesn't get much more cheery than DvF---even when it rains! Luckily, the sun is shining today, making it the perfect time to break out a pair of hot pink shades (they come in teal, black and brown, too, but The Daily is partial to pink, natch). A retro cat-eye shape and quirky print along the temples add an extra dash of liveliness.

    PRICE: $145

    AVAILABLE: DVF, New York, 646.486.4800 and www.dvf.com
