Who am I? Some study the works of ancient philosophers for the answer to this age-old question, but if you're like us, you prefer a shortcut. So here it is: if you want to know who you are, you need only look as far as your handbag.

1 Let's say you're making the scene with Foley + Corinna's Studded City Clutch in your hand. We bet you're a drummer-dating downtown type whose night doesn't start until at least 11pm. Your unstudied, Kate Moss brand of cool includes lots of raw edges and creative layering.

2 Rebecca Minkoff's Plan B Bag says: "I'm career-oriented but still artistic, organized yet spontaneous." A creative, trendsetting type, you favor fashion-forward pieces from Alexander Wang and Rag & Bone.

3 Got Botkier's Stevie Satchel slung over your shoulder? You're fond of feminine pieces with a creative twist, and look to both Hepburns for fashion inspiration. Crisp day dresses, ladylike blouses, and tailored trousers comprise your sophisticated-yet-effortless style.

4 Toting Tory Burch's T Satchel? An uptown girl through and through, you find yourself smoothing your hair into a sleek ponytail most mornings and choosing from a well-edited selection of little jackets and flirty skirts.

Pop culture gloss and vintage charm blend together in Anna Sui's eclectic line. With her signature combination of dark Victorian, dolly, and rock 'n' roll styles, Sui's designs reflect her interest in cultural imagery and new ideas. Inspired by the rehearsal clothes of chorus girls in the '30s and '40s, the spring collection puts a glam twist on old Hollywood nostalgia with breezy chiffon, bold stripes, and crisp checks that perfectly reflect the brand's trendsetting cool.

I absolutely love the Golden Goose Charlye boots! They're perfect with jeans or dresses, for any season and in any weather. Quality is evident in the construction. From the use of both leather and suede to the ankle strap detail and brass heel plate, no detail was overlooked. Their character really comes through with the subtle slouch and the dirty-but-refined look. Best of all, the style is timeless, so I'll live in them for years to come.

When it comes to summer essentials, there's one that tops the list: a cool pair of shades. It's that magical piece of fashion that can turn any ensemble into the picture of sleek chic. Lanvin Paris is showing us how hot cool can be with vintage charm, mod flirtatiousness, and the aviator gone glam, and they're joined by works of eyewear art from Proenza Schouler and Thakoon. Pick your perfect pair (or two) today, in the Designer Boutique.

We're never prepared for it. Summer rolls around, and we're faced with the drama of searching for that just-right bathing suit. What style works best for your body type? Our stylist Pa offers her insights.

Athletic Body - You've got a toned body, but in a bikini, you want some hips. A few waist details - folds, belts, ties - will give you the illusion of the sexy curves you crave. Try the Bond-girl-inspired styles of Fabucci.

Tummy Issues - Being a little self-conscious about your midsection doesn't have to be the equation for boring swimwear. The season's one-pieces are just as sexy as its bikinis. Go for a provocative open back by Malia Mills, or take the plunge with a V neckline by Tyler Rose.

Busty Girl - For well-endowed ladies, support is key. The halter top is perfect, and separates allow you to find a perfect fit on the top and the bottom. Shoshanna will be your new favorite brand!

The Hourglass - You've got the perfect bikini figure. (Women everywhere envy you!) So feel free to do a little experimenting. Be bold in a playful Ella Moss print, or dive into an itsy-bitsy style by Loeffler Randall.
