complexion perfection
Facing the mirror with an uneven complexion can be quite unnerving, but now with That Gal, Benefit’s new brightening face primer, a clear canvas isn’t out of reach. Wear That Gal alone and enjoy soothing raspberry and chamomile extracts as your face becomes silky soft, or use just before applying your foundation to provide your face with a smoother surface. Benefit That Gal, $27, Macy’s
handmade fashions
The woman who truly appreciates fashion will be drawn to the hand-sewn craftsmanship of designer Gustavo Lins. The Jean Paul Gaultier apprentice turned out his eighth collection, most of which he fits on a mannequin. Many of his pieces, which feature topstitching and leather piping details, are reversible. Gustavo Lins lamb and cotton silk jersey bustier, $1,485, and pulled-up skirt in double silk, $759, Outfit at Wynn Las Vegas
wheels up
World travelers added a new means of seeing exotic locales when Pan Am serviced the first trans-Atlantic flight in 1935. That overnight, direct flight from San Francisco to Honolulu on one of its Clipper planes quickly helped coin the phrase "jet-setter." And along with a phrase generally come accessories, namely Pan Am’s array of flight bags that have recently become collector’s items. Marc Jacobs naturally found the bags worthy of his signature, and for a brief time, you too can own not only a piece of history, but a genuine Marc Jacobs bag at a price you can afford. Bon voyage. Marc Jacobs Pan Am Explorer bag, $64, Marc Jacobs
upscale scents
When you think of New York, neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little Italy and even Coney Island come to mind. Bond No. 9 has been capturing the essence of New York with its line of fragrances, and now it has turned its nose to shopping with its new Saks Fifth Avenue line that celebrates the flagship store in Manhattan. Saks Fifth Avenue for Him is an elegant aqua scent, while Saks Fifth Avenue for Her signals the return of classic gardenia eau de parfum. Guess where it’s available? Bond No. 9 Saks Fifth Avenue for Him and Saks Fifth Avenue for Her, 3.4 ounces for $185 and 1.7 ounces for $125, Saks Fifth Avenue
