On Valentine's Day ideas - how about a gift set which amongst many other things contains a pair of silk restraints with a playful handcuff print?

If you still don't know how to wear a boy cardigan, Scotch & Soda has you covered. This one comes as a shirt-and-cardi combo.

My new favorite layering piece is this Kiki de Montparnasse garter tank. Pair the semi-sheer cotton tank with a structured pencil skirt for a high/low look, or a high-waisted pant.

Hands on pics of the Fafi + MAC collab

For those curious on how designers live... betsey johnson's PINK apartment is extremely pink, but in an awesome livable combination of modern and vintage pieces.

I'm mixed on illustration purses ~ but the latest Fairy Bag from Prada still grabs my attention every time i see the ads... and the girls remind me of Shade Elaine's style a teeny bit.

Maison Martin Margiela's barbed wire ring from his fall-winter 2008-09 show. We can't get enough of him, can we?

Cute and comfy looking Lodge French Blazer by Triple 5 Soul

Dying over this gorgeous pink taffeta dress by Katy Rodriguez. Simple yet over the top all at once!

fascinated by the quilting trend that's back again... here's a leather balenciaga bag ~ kind of makes me think of a shiny pineapple/ski-jacket

Beautiful new ad campaign for Miu Miu Spring 2008 ~ particularly smitten with the ominous surreal reds of the backgrounds in contrast with her very pale look... and some great bags and shoes!

Sweet sweater vest by Pins & Needles. Easy and casual

Springtime is calling... cute and cheery yellow "Two Attendants" trench coat by Penguin.

Cute and feminine little trench by Kimi, and pretty cheap!

Cleanse in style! The famed Bliss Spa's steep clean moisturizer adds the perfect moisture to your face to the morning. With a teensy bit of retinol, it not only moisturizes - it clears skin too!

On fun portable masks... Talika Eye Decompress ~ comes in a 9 pack... just pop out the compressed mask, soak it in the blue mask solution ~ instant eye decompress!

On more reusable bag options ~ Stella McCartney gets in on the game with a Sephora exclusive ~ organic cotton shopper with full sized 5 benefits cream and roll-on perfume

Very cool key ring for the fellas by Maison Martin Margiela and great subtle branding

Liking the draping on the McQ stuff I've been seeing lately, like this cute black dress

Super shiny, unique and almost sci fi slingbacks by Modern Vintage

Not a fan of the actual underwear itself, but I think the packaging for this set of 4 thongs by Cosabella is pretty cute

Aki Choklat brings a new creative edge to mens' shoes. Victorian in drama, edgy in design, and absolutely unconventional in execution, his shoes represent what mens' shoes can, and probably should, be.

Normally, "purple" and "jersey" are enough. But this McQ by Alexander McQueen dress throws in a shiny synthetic harness for a bodice. Sophisticated, but with an edge, it's a great interest piece. Did I mention it's on sale, too?

Elegant and stylish lingerie. The lacemaker is a new Argentinian brand with some impressing designs.

Although annoying that Neiman Marcus' site is down while i'm hunting for the black manolo's i just clicked on, the illustration that goes with their apology is darling.

Its that time of year already! Fred Segal sale starts the 25th of Jan

Another variation for reusable bags ~ go felt with Illu Stration

Triple bracelet by Martin Margiela. I'm not exactly sure how you wear it.. I'm assuming you put your arm through any two of the rings. I also love the Martin Margiela logo/branding with the numbers

Cute overcoat at Joie (the hardest fashion website to google for!)

On bizarre upcoming ad campaigns... victoria beckham... for marc jacobs... in the ultimate packaging campaign? she comes out of bags and boxes?

Here's a stylish way to keep warm this winter. Victor Osbourne's Tyrol cap has adjustable ear warmers to keep you feeling toasty.

Bottega Veneta's Roma tote - with suede lining and an interior zip pocket. Strangely drawn to the woven leather look tonight.

This is how an unfortunate moment becomes a fun accessory. A two part pin made from gold matt finish acrylic that will surely make passers by smile. Just smile back.

A touch of color makes all the difference on these thinwire sunglasses from Selima Optique.

Lima 7192's glass rings are quite the work of art ~ so simple and subtle yet impossible to turn your eyes away from.

On another interesting shopping tote option ~ Hazelnut - Street Royalty has a cute Big Shopper in Ochre from their Playing straight - fall / winter 07-08 collection

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.
