When you can't walk down the actual Via Spiga, Rome's chic retail avenue, the next best thing is to walk in Via Spiga. The sexy Italian footwear line has some hot -- make that cool -- summer sandals, inspired by Native American style (beads, snake, rope-covered wedges and hand-stitched details). We love the Comanche, $225, in light taupe rainbow python, with a rope-covered heel; at select Macy's stores.

Jewels by India

 

Done with her royal wedding duties, Prince Charles' goddaughter India Hicks is taking on a new role -- as a jewelry designer. Her collection, which debuts this month at indiahicks.com and select Bloomingdale's stores next month, has three different lines -- one based on the hexagonal patterns loved by her father, Lord Louis Mountbatten, the Initials collection (he loved monograms, too) and Island Life (think shells and fishtails).
