Dior's new Flower Blossom Pressed Powder Compact (with designs inspired by nature's flora and fauna) has me longing for spring.

Another video worth watching from refinery29.. Shipley & Halmos, formerly of Trovata. Gorgeous two tone shoe in the vid, and the trip to the burrito cart is too cute.

Scott Sternberg, the guy behind Band of Outsiders, has kinda become my new hero ever since I read that he doesn't have a fashion background. Check out this vid from Refinery29. & they point at a board of polaroids! Hehe.

Shiseido's Spring Summer collection's Radiant Pastels...

Keira Knightley’s Green Dress, From Best Picture Academy Award Nominee "Atonement" is up for auction...

Werkstatt: Munchen is a Munich-based jewelry label designed by Klaus Lohmeyer. The silver and leather pieces are all handcrafted. Great on guys or gals.

I usually don't like chunky shoes but I'm drawn to these "Agatha" heels by Frye

I was surprised to see that this dress is by Marc by Marc Jacobs. Glad to see more sophisticated pieces being offered by that line

Very sweet silk dress by Zac Posen

Honeycomb knit top by Zac Posen. Unique but totally wearable. Also love the shirt underneath, by Zac Posen again, but could probably pair the top with another shirt to make it more feminine

I love the pretty gathering on the bodice of this Tracy Reese dress

Ooh very cool shape on these Loeffler Randalls.

I love that fashion designers can pull inspiration from just about anywhere. I just don't do bugs. Never have, never will. (Can somebody hand me a newspaper so I can swat that thing?)

CARGO's blu_ray collection ~ does this mean that blu_ray has definitely beat HD DVD? Has the beauty industry stepped in and picked sides? Makeup ready for your high-definition moments.

One of the backpacks from the Raf Simons & Eastpak collaboration. Loving the multi color straps and the overall muted colors. I'd def use this if I needed a backpack. (via notcot.org post #8573)

Honestly, Zac Posen could do no wrong on the runway this week. And, while many of you raised an eyebrow at the puffy black ears the models were wearing, all I could see were butterflies flying up and down the runway.

The illustrations on Prada's SS08 bags... and campaign backgrounds... and this incredible 17 x 200 foot wallpaper tell some crazy mythical story of dragons, faeries, and more.

Erin Fetherston fall/winter 2008 collection... is Blogdorf Goodman right? Did the collection go all pre-raphaelite?

From nytimes' vday guide... N.V. Perricone's Synergy. According to Sephora's site, it's a "neuropeptide, antiaging, aromatic pheromone." Anybody wanna try it and tell us if it really works? Cool bottle..

I kind of want these peep toes by Pedro Garcia. Simple, lovely curves and nice rich brown

Pretty cool wallet by Maxx & Unicorn. Made from a single piece of leather. Liking the embossed pistols!
