CARLISLE COLLECTION DRESS "This is a happy dress, especially because I wore it to my son's wedding. It has a 'Mad Men' look with the full skirt."

LAUNDRY DRESS "This is the best dress for summer - it's comfortable and perfect for Florida."

JORYA DRESS "A great, easy dress but with something unexpected. It's a straight sheath, but the sequins give it a pop, and it can be worn during day or night."

TUNIC "I bought this tunic in India, but it's perfect for Florida. Sometimes I wear tunics as dresses or with white jeans. Linen is a great fabric, cool and comfortable, and the embellishments are fabulous."

DONNA KARAN SKIRT "I love the movement of this skirt. It started as a longer skirt, but I like to make skirts shorter and give them my own twist, because I know what works for me."

CARLISLE COLLECTION SKIRT "I love the colors - the beading is like a work of art. It's fun and happy."

MARLENE BROWN BANGLES "My friend designs this jewelry in New York. These bangles are fun and go with everything. They have a simple look but make a big statement."

EMILIO PUCCI SHOES "These are great daytime shoes, and I really like slingbacks. I get dressed fast - I certainly cannot be late for work - so these are great."

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE SHOES "There's a light of elegance to these shoes - not to mention I love pink."

SALVATORE FERRAGAMO HANDBAG "This bag is very architectural, a work of art. I like things with a lot of style."

THEA HANDBAG "I met Thea in Hong Kong - she designs great bags. This one is big enough to hold everything and is a great travel bag. Everything to me is travel - related."

SOPHIE LEMAITRE HANDBAG "I bought this in France; it's very fun. It's different and grabs attention."
