I needed to check on the rumor that the Chanel bottles are the same shape as Plaza Vendome... and also see some pics of the original sketches and evolutions of the bottles.

Love the heel on these shoes by Corso Como

Thankfully it's not super hot here in SF like it seems to be in the rest of California (and the US?) so I can think about jackets like this cute dashed stripe one from Marc by Marc Jacobs

I learned how Chanel seals their perfume bottles ~ and even tried it myself... it's not as simple as you may guess... Check out the whole process in pictures.

Whoa, talk about your platforms. Not only would you be taller in these Celines, your style rating would shoot sky high.

Burberry Prorsum trench coat. Awesome rows of buttons

If you're looking for 80s throwback sunglasses without the 80s neon colors, look no further than Original Penguin by Munsingwear. In black, gold, even red.

The goth in me loves these oxidized silver linked rings by Miki Tanaka. One ring has "memento mori" engraved on it, and "21st century" on the other

There's a sweet, sophisticated simplicity to this strapless mini dress by Hanii Y

Behold, yet another hooded scarf for Fall 2007. This one's by Mike & Chris, and a bit more dramatic than the others we've seen.

From the cropped, double-breasted cut to the contrasting navy trim (not to mention princess sleeves!), this Munthe plus Simonsen girly leather blazer is on my wish list.

Cute coat by Hanii Y. "Heavy knee-length coat with mandarin collar, princess sleeves, and double layer top with 4 front buttons and attatched belt."

Little Red Riding Hood. Man, I want to dislike Juicy Couture so bad that it's painful when they come out with something this good: Double-breasted Wool Coat in Poppycock.

batwing top in the best of fall colours, discharge print makes it the top to get for fall. by Gentle Fawn

Guess what? Phillip Lim will be introducing eyewear to his spring 2008 collection (launching at New York Fashion Week this Sunday) He will start with a pair of unisex aviators and launch the full shebang for Fall 2008. Prices will range from $180-325

This cashmere VPL sweater has great proportions and would look fabulous with fall's new high waisted jeans.

La Garconne's Fall look book is up on their site. I love this outfit: Martin Margiela trench, Humanoid leg warmers, Golden Goose riding boots.

These might just look like another pair of black heels to you, but you'd be wrong. Try these sexy YSL heels on and you will see how their mile high wood heel and perfectly sharp pointed toe make you feel like a temptress. Officially on my "gimmie gimmie" list!

Cleavage Cupcakes and Low Beams will boost and keep you covered

C&C Octopus tank ~ loving the print ~ from their Summer Malibu Collection

Stressed day ~ and on brilliantly packaged masks worth every destressing penny ~ i'm fully backing the vials of blue and cloth pellets of the Skyn Iceland Cool Therapy.

Love that this mini is cute and sexy at the same time with its high waist, pleated detailing, and wide band. by H Fredriksson

Brand New Repetto Pop-Up shop at Earnest Sewn in the Meatpacking District. Limited-edition and previously not sold in the US styles. Not just ballet flats. I'm loving the booties... perfect for now.

Sexy dress by Miss Sixty that's also probably pretty comfy

A little bit different from the regular peacoat.. This one by Comme des Garcons is ever so slightly quilted which adds just enough detail to make it interesting

A standout from the Erin Fetherston Fall 07 runway show and her “Wandering Stars” collection. From the gorgeous shape, to the elegant long silver bow at the shoulder, to the stunning star devore velvet, we are in love with this dreamy dress!

The cut of the Maxime Coat by Aquascutum deftly explores the idea of a longer length for a peacoat-style cut. The print is gorgeous as well. I just can't wait for Fall to arrive!

Thom Browne's wonderful collection for Brooks Brothers is called Black Fleece. More forgiving versions of Thom Browne's signature snug fits meets old school BB style. For the ladies, too!

The cool draped chains on this Bliss Lau bag were inspired by the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Love the wand/packaging on this Laura Gellar Wonder Wand - gives a hint of highlight and sparkle wherever it goes

On cozy hoodies ~ jcrew has sherpa lined vintage fleece hoodies (they have them for men and women!)

Very cool shape on this minimalistic funnel neck trapeze coat by Elie Tahari

Sweet shawl collar on this North Country Coat by Lux (also available in black, canary, & teal)

Dying to savor the rest of summer in this simple, yet sexy, cotton dress by Lewis Cho.

Wowie! Maybe it's just me - but this would do just fine for a 1st date sweater. Taisha Pullover by Miss Sixty. I LOVE the racer back.

Tashkent Carrow Flats, the perfect footwear for a Rain Dance

Cute flower rings by Kenneth Jay Lane

The lace up oxford bootie is everywhere this fall. If you want to stand out, maybe ditch the traditional look and go with this more streamlined & modern pair by Marc Jacobs

Love the colors & shapes on this cardigan by Twinkle

Cuuute Marc by Marc Jacobs coat. The collar is adorable

Meet my Botkier Camera bag ~ what do you use?

Lamarthe Evasion set of polka dot travel bags [The film is adorable and well done as well ~ with a handbag related moral]

A great dress for all occasions from Geren Ford, the queen of the silk dress.

I've always liked instructional illustrations, like the ones on these fun J.Crew boxers
