Check or checker pattern, whichever you choose to call it, every designer from Michael Kors to Ralph Lauren are releasing their version of the plaid patterns. This is no old school style, as the modern look appears quite flirty. Celebrities from Ashton Kutcher to Ashley Olsen have all been photographed sporting the look, and it never fails when you want to go casual.

My pick for men is the Luke shirt (right), a piece by the Marc by Marc Jacobs Collection. Guys if you forget to shave and you’re looking quite scruffy, not to worry, just throw one of these tops on and you’ll be looking the part!

Fendi has came out with an adorable little accessory called the Fendi Patent Envelope Pouch. It’s definitely for those days when you don’t feel like carrying much.

The coolest part about the Fendi Patent Envelope Pouch is that is has a shoulder strap that can be removed. Pouch also has a magnetic snap closure, and canvas lining. If you do not like the turquoise color, pictured above, no need to worry because the pouch also comes in black and red.

The Fendi Patent Envelope Pouch can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $235, which I admit is a little too much for any pouch. Expensive or not, no one can deny that the Fendi Patent Envelope Pouch is adorable.
