What's your thread count? A celebrity linen consultant (no kidding) seeks out backroom sources for super-luxe bedding. But at these prices, you won't lose any sleep.

Let's wrap this up: Spiff up your old sofa or freshen up that drab summer share: These slipcovers are a prescription for economic recovery.

Freeze without getting burned: One-room air-conditioners at blowout prices that won't send cold shivers up your spine.

Save money while saving the world: CRIA’s sale of original artwork, a catalogue to benefit medical relief, and even a service to protect your pooch.

Little nonblack dresses: Though you may wear these sunny summer slips every day, they're anything but basic. And they're the best way to show off a tan.

Collar pointers: Ladylike chic doesn't require a whole new wardrobe. Add one (carefully chosen) shirtdress to your closet, and learn to love starch again.

Pour, little rich girl: Millennium-worthy sparkling wines that won't make your budget pop.

Locker-room talk: Your fall boots may be made for walking -- but these hip sneakers will give them a run for the money.

Whether eating, drinking, or working out, Christy Turlington and her Sundari partners never lose sight of the connection between outer beauty and inner peace.

Looking for a good excuse to clean house? Give your old clothes a new life -- and free up precious closet space for all your fall purchases.
