Don't worry, no post debate commentary here. However, like everyone else, saving money is on my mind.
Yet, being the Style Spy, it's only fitting that I save with, well, style.
There are loads of partisan purchases to be made this election season, from TOMS political party shoes to Hidalgo's gold and diamond rings. But, my favorite keepsake is also the most practical.
Take your financial future into your own hands with Jonathan Adler's ceramic banks ($78 each). The only way they'll crash is if you drop them.
I've been making little deposits in one of my own for the past few months. Any guesses at which one I bought???
Today, celebrity-favorite designer Roland Mouret launches five limited edition dresses from his bespoke collection on net-a-porter.com.
Designed specifically for the superb shopping site, the dresses are classic Roland Mouret constructions: curve-hugging, waist-cinching, below-the-knee sheaths made even sexier by the addition of accordian pleats and subtle drapes. Hues include grape and deep forest green; each dress is $2,065.
Mouret, of course, has mastered the art of creating
the perfect, sexy-yet-sophisticated silhouette. Even more impressive, he has mastered the art of making women look -- and feel -- extraordinary.

Channel your inner GG (double entendre intended), and make a beeline for the main floor of Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. Today. As in now.
(Read while you run. That's why we have Blackberries.)
Gucci cuts the ribbon on their accessories boutique and -- as if the thrill of that alone weren't enough -- the luxe label has created fifteen one-of-a-kind bags exclusively for the posh outpost. Each is crafted in Bergdorf’s signature lilac color (how convenient for us that purple is the shade of the season!) and boasts an engraved silver hangtag that announces “GUCCI loves Bergdorf.” Now that's some Bergdorf Bling.
All your favorite bag styles (“Hysteria”, “Jockey” and “Indy”) are represented in patent, Guccissima leather and "precious" skins (croc, ostrich and python).
Speaking of exclusive, take a gander at the gorgeousness that awaits...Style Spy scored this picture of a purple python Indy just for you.
Prices start at $1,295 and reach a crescendo of $29,800.
Stock market, schtock market.
I'll race you to 57th Street.
Celebrate the last days of summer by treating yourself to a brilliant bargain.

I'm already fantasizing about what sandy beach to wear them on this winter...
