Everyone needs the perfect hiding on the beach/lounging sun hat... Dulce de Leche by Lola ~ extra wide and floppy.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Patent Pump with slightly pointed toe. 90mm tapered cone heel. Mmmm the simplicity, but liking the subtle curves of the heel...

My obsession of the night are these Mad Mary ~ studded Louboutins.

Another cool, grey dress by Grey Ant (how appropriate)

Cool draped jersey dress by H Chalayan. "A modern translation of a classic kimono silhouette."

How cool is this pink dress with inner lining in contrast tone and a bow detail at back by Paul & Joe?

Feeling blue about your wintry pallor? Try a satin finish in a rich jewel tone. The sapphire hue of Ingwa; melero's Dita dress sparkles against pale, winter skin

You couldn't possibly fear the cold in Surface to Air's Stitches Parka, which features banded cuffs, a drawstring hood, inside pockets, and an irregular quilted pattern.

Awesome vintage lucite rings ~ in colors like opaqe kelly green, translucent kelly green, opaque red, moonglow orange, moonglow turquoise, etc... only 2$ each!

Forget canvas tote bags... loving this Prada Cervo Folding Flat Tote - it would be particularly cute when you take that clip on strap off... another perfect macbook air/eeeeeepc bag!

Will the YSL Muse Two really be the Birkin 2.0? The clasp looks fun~ and if bag snob is right, this might be the next "it" bag. Could be an adorable macbook air bag.

Vivienne Tam redesigned Mickey & Minnie's clothes for a celebration of the Year of The Mouse (okay..rat, really) at Hong Kong Disneyland. Mickey and Minnie are looking mighty hip!

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!

Kinda cool scalloped dress by Lela Rose

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

Cult-favorite line Mike & Chris just introduced their collection of handcrafted jewelry to complement their chic West-Coast-born apparel. The whole line is based on a road trip up the Cali coast.

If you add NOTCOT.com, NOTCOT,org, TasteSpotting, and NotCouture Web Clips to your iPhone home screen you'll see the special icons we made!

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!)
