Hot find
Finding the right handbag can prove to be as much of a challenge as finding Mr. Right. So the stars must have aligned the moment I locked eyes on Irá Salles’ black crocheted tote bag ($395), available exclusively at Jacflash (1036 Queen St. W., 416-516-8766, jacflash.net). It looks as though this tall, dark and handsome arm candy is going to be my summer love.
Make a statement
Any spring shopping list worth its weight in Wang (Vera, that is) must include a stunning statement necklace. Lucky for you, Subversive Jewelry by Justin Giunta (subversivejewelry.com) is arriving at Zola Shoes this season. Mixing bold baroque philosophy (think: more is more) with modern deconstruction, these pieces (necklace shown, $550) are sure to add a little rock ’n’ roll to your Emporio Armani satin-lapel tux jacket and short shorts.

New store | Madison
Whether you are going for “business chic” or “fashionable athlete,” elegant Madison Shoes & Accessories (333 Eglinton Ave. W., 416-932-9978, madisonshoes.ca) is sure to have the ideal shoe, boot or bag to fit your mood du jour. Choose from a wide selection of posh but not pricey lines, including Nine West, Circa Joan & David, AK Anne Klein and Bandolino.
Spring trend tip: Opt for brights, animal prints and high shine.
