Over the knee high patent leather black boots, wow. By Faryl Robin.

Biker jackets are HOT for spring and luckily for us, Mike & Chris picked up on this trend.

This is by Kalb & Co. It keeps my clothes from getting eaten by moths. And they smell swell.

The current cold weather has got me dreaming of the greens of spring. Loving the grey & green on this cardigan by Fred Perry. (I could do without the man cleavage though.)

Love everything about this black silk Zac Posen blouse! from Net-a-porter.

I usually shudder at the thought of pastel hues, but Doo.ri is a label I trust to do them right. It's a shame the necklace doesn't come with this dress -- I initially thought it was part of the collar detail.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Seaboard silk dress. I could sail away somewhere in this one. I like that it references the nautical "trend" we see every spring without being too literal in its interpretation.

Urban but effortless new NYC-based line JF and Son. Love the little mini with the fade at the top. So fresh and modern.

Look fierce in the Hunting Trap Bracelet by Toy Me, a unisex bracelet that can be worn by the girls and the guys. Attitude never looked so good! One word of caution, don't feed it after midnight and don't get it wet. You have been warned...

100% leather motorcycle jacket by super stylish boy brand, JBROS.

Extra long, extra cool wool muffler by Korean brand JBros.

Speaking of denim...If you don't know Sugarcane, do yourself a favor and get schooled. Japanese dungarees (not "jeans", thank you very much) woven from sugarcane fibers, on antique shuttle looms. The Roederer Cristal of denim. They even smell sweet.

The Fiona coat by Soia & Kyo: perfect for the chilly weather, screams cuteness.

Check out these Brave Star jeans. The denim's "produced at the Cone Denim White Oak plant, the oldest working denim mill in existence." I like the trim on the pockets

The illustrator in me gets a kick out of the silly intarsia on this cashmere sweater dress by BeaYukMui

Japonesque tube pencil sharpener

Laura Mercier's Brilliant Eye Liner ~ the packaging on this one got my attention.

Shop Give has an impressive train case. Sure would be nice to get this organized...

Some great simple classic bikinis in the making to get you ready for spring over at Haverhill

Another cool coat for men by Nom de Guerre

These boots are not only stylish, but they actually look comfortable as well. by Frye

Another hit from Pedro Garcia. This cute ankle-wrap number is the perfect party shoe.

Nice patent page heel pumps by gucci

The facial consists of a cleansing followed by the application of microthin sheets of 24-karat gold leaf (massaged onto the face and misted for full-on infiltration). Wow.

Mme. Fortuna's RELIC necklaces. Whimsical and mysterious.

Wickle ~ some pretty little designer fragrance packaging, that is simple, beautiful, and comes with cute necklaces to decorate them.

Three bow necklaces to choose from. Silver by Kiel Mead, rose gold and black by Anne Marie via orange button and gold by Giles and Brother.

Looks like Smashbox goes green ~ with their subtle earthy collection... Green Room for spring 2008 with new packaging too!

Mmm I love the gothic packaging for the By Kilian fragrances.

This dress seems so all-american and 1950s to me, but easy and modern at the same time. by 3.1 Phillip Lim

Liking the simplicity and the retro-looking cloud print on this silk dress by Karen Zambos

A clear plastic frame is a fresh new take on a great shape. Stella McCartney transparent suns, $240.

Sexy shape bootie with a heel that's just high enough with pointed toe and split back. And half price!!

Leather oxford pump with velvet ribbon, lace-up tie at front. So chic with tights and a sweater dress, don't you think? And only for $74!

Another great layering piece from J. Lindeberg. The Nick Chainstripe Oxford looks great layered under sweaters or on its own. Was $109, now practically free.

Toy Me gives us a sneak peek at their latest collection... particularly this silver scissor cuff that we're smitten with ~ you can wear it open or closed!

I've never been one for pearl jewelry, but these bracelets by Saska Diez are so dainty and minimal. The sleek, two gold bar closure is sweet as well.

Super cool fish hook bracelet for guys by Martin Margiela.

I've been searching for a shirt that looks exactly like this for about a year now and I just found it! by Splendid

Adorably lucky Moss Mills four leaf clover ring ~ on sale!
