Glossy, matte, glossy, matte... Striped skimmer by Dolce Vita

Here's a great animal-free bag from Stella McCartney. I love the use of felt, and the patent trims are perfect.

Cyberoptix TieLab - Clipper Ship tie. Clippers were named for their speed and relatively short lifespan - live fast, die young!

"Sometimes you look at a shoe and you realize that it's not just a shoe. It is art. It is multiple orgasmic sex. Christian Louboutin introduces the multiple orgasmic sex peep-toe." Papier blog's advertising copy writing is too cute.

A.P.C. has released its Fall collection, with great fall basics like a tartan peacoat and cashmere knits.

One of my favorite online stores, Oak NYC, is expanding it's cut & sew house label this fall. Check out their look book. I'm loving the direction it's going! Can't wait till fall...

Love this outfit from Lyell, and now the Pinwheel Camisole is on sale at Refinery 29. It would be a pretty layering piece through to the fall, too.

Dror Benshetrit's Urban Cast-Away line of jewelry will change the way you thought you saw porcelain - these are second hand fur dipped into porcelain, then shaped and fired.

Simmons Jewelry - $125, and half goes to Diamond Empowerment Fund. Rough Diamond & Malachite Green bracelet

Little drummer girl. Guest designer Alice Ritter created this awesome Ink Modern Armory Chic Coat for the Nave label. It has puff sleeves and four buttons above an empire waist. Scrumptious!

MUahaha. How hilarious is Homer as Karl Lagerfeld?? Check out more images from the Harper's Bazaar August 2007 illustrated fashion spread with the Simpsons!

Show-stopper. I will admit love my L.A.M.B. Enamel Tile Bracelet Watch. I also love that you can't tell it spells out "LAMB" when you're wearing it.

Recent FIT graduate Jinny Kim is causing quite a stir with her new line of glam shoes. These red patent stunners are sure to set hearts on fire.

Back in the day. Cynthia Rowley's latest creation is her part-fiction, part-autobigraphical book, Slim: A Fantasy Memoir. Take a peek at her earlier designs, drawings, and imagination at play.

I love the simplicity of this Vena Cava silk dress with grommet details. I can see how this could easily transition from summer to fall with tights and long gloves.

Everyone's favorite designer of "clothes people can actually wear" finally has his very own flagship store in SoHo New York. Phillip Lim's Mercer Street store opens tomorrow.

These patent Marc Jacobs heels have little bundles of sculpture-like satin covered beads (look like little grapes to me) on the toe.

Love this mix of silk jersey and organza halter dress from Doo Ri - and those opera-length leather gloves are killer!

Jeweler Bing Bang does another bang-up job with this Crackled Leather Clutch. The gold chain and patent leather adds a luxe quality to the crackled patent leather. Nice price, too!

Continuing the skull and cross bone trend with a personal twist. The necklace can be customized with your name or any other word of your choosing.

Can I express my undying love for Balenciaga and the genius (or God, as I like to think) that is Nicholas Gesquiere? The resort collection makes my heart skip.

Petal pusher. Slouchy, organic 3.1 Phillip Lim lipstick "orchid" bag for Fall 07. Imagine that rich red with your fall browns and dark denims. Magnifico!

Another ring that has caught my eye is this wooden gem from Something's Hiding In Here. Handmade in Philidelphia. (Check out their totes too!)

French brand Artysm has the dopest mens streetwear. I especially love their woven and double duty pieces.

About face. You might discover the secrets of European women's skin with these Egg White Facial Soaps from Sweden (love the packaging!). Lather up, ladies.

I've been following Mich Dulce since the opening of Store For All Season and her S/S 07 collection is my favorite yet!

Shift into high gear with this jeweled tone Fall 2007 dress by Diane von Furstenberg available at Neiman Marcus.

This necklace from byJeannie jewelry features a brass razorblade and swarovski crystal. I love the knot detailing and the blade is unexpected!

This dress looks really comfortable being made from bamboo jersey. A little bit of modern casual. The ties can be wrapped in different ways. Designed by Lara Miller

This earrings by Jib & Genoa are to die for. The mix of art deco with a touch of asian design is really unique.

A versatile bamboo sweater that ties in multiple ways. Designed by Lara Miller

Calling Coco. Balenciaga at 50% off? It's true! Hurry and snap up this bold Balenciaga medium-sized teal matelasse handbag.

Also from Sabrina Dehoff's Little Helper's Collection - White Little Ghost No 023.

the little black dress as interpreted by james perse...i adore the pockets and plunging neckline

The Loves Me Loves Me Not Belt from Peter Som. Tacky or quirky?

Part go-go, all logo. Something in me is drawn to these bling-bling Gucci 'Britt' Flat Boots now on sale at Bluefly.

Coming Fall/Winter 07 ~ White Cane Label... a line coming soon as an "advocate designed to empower an independent lifestyle and to promote better services for the blind and visually impaired."

Eyes wide shut. Stuffed white leather bunny mask on a 8ct gold chain by Sabrina Dehoff. Not sure what to think about this one...a little eerie, a little whacky.

Open boot season is nigh. I MUST HAVE these Miss Sixty (with a very sensible 3-inch) Cone Heel Boots in brown. That roundy-pointy toe! That heel! ack! I have that ache in my heart again...

Ooh-la-la! Christian Dior has been putting out some very heavy, masculine accessories lately, so this feminine gold "Oui" ring is a nice surprise. How sweet is that tiny diamond dotting the "i"?
