There’s nothing like a purse that screams summer at you, and this delicious little bag is one of the summeriest bags we’ve seen so far this year.

It’s the Strawberry Fields Terry City Girl Bag, a wonderfully bright, sunshiny purse from Juicy Couture.

Made of the standard Juicy terry cloth, this bag comes with a thick leather shoulder strap and gold hardware, as well as leather trim and removable accessories.

A lovely purse for a lovely season!

SRP $145.00

Miu Miu Harlequin Bootie

The Prada fashion house started Miu Miu back in 1992, and while Prada tends to veer towards the norm, Miu Miu designs stray far from it! These Harlequin Booties look like they stomped off the runway, and visited the circus before they arrived at the boutique. Black suede with silver and pink cut out design and a heel adorned with rhinestones, make these shoes quite the little conversation starters. Retailing for $890, and with a limit on the number you can order, apparently brave fashionistas are buying these up in a hurry! Miu Miu Harlequin Bootie available at fashion house

No longer is it enough to stock the latest shirts, dresses and handbags. Up and coming retailers are adding lounges, nail salons and bookshops to their stores in the hopes of luring customers and getting them to stay longer.

Metropark, a City of Industry, Calif.-based chain with 18 stores nationwide, aims to be part club part street boutique. DJs spin records at its stores, which sell hip fashions, off-beat art work and music. SoHo boutique Lounge also has a DJ booth as well as a spa. Deegie’s Carma, the brainchild of a former Nordstrom executive, is set to open its first store in Kansas City in March. In addition to racks of trendy, teen worthy clothing, there will be a lounge as well as a hair and nail salon.
