I stumbled on Caravan, a hip little boutique founded by Claudine Gumbel, publicist and one of the founders of fashion and beauty public relations house, when I was shopping for interesting signature pieces to wear at fall '07 Fashion Week.

Lindeberg and Vivienne Westwood. They've got the goods and now you can get 'em on sale -- 20 percent off all clothes, 30 percent off all jewelry and accessories -- just in time for your 4th of July fete.
