this alexander wang dress is the best thing i've seen all day.

Pretty pieces from The Lake and Stars' Fall 08 collection. Cool photoshoot with ballet dancers as well

I'm digging this sweater hoodie by Helmut Lang. "...ribbing at hem. hood crosses over creating front v. knit pattern detail around hood and down hood back."

I love the blue on this bralette by Araks, and of course the pleats! I imagine the lightweight cotton crepe & silk trim feel great. [link goes to bralette, but the panty is also available on la garconne)

This pretty floral slip by Sparkle & Fade is silk and on sale for only $20!

Interesting little article in the LA Times giving a quick history of board shorts, and apparently they're getting shorter again now

I love this dress by Liza Rietz, it's innovative and very wearable.

VPL makes the coolest looking underwear for those who don't want to be all frills and laces all the time. Loving this two-tone "Bi-Sectional" bra

Very cool peacoat by Golden Goose. I just can't resist the giant zippers along the front

Decadent lingerie by Berlin designer Jutta Teschner. Her label "fishbelly" is one of the hottest lingerie brands in Europe.

Looking statuesque comes naturally in these ankle boots. The cut out sides, peep toe and ankle tie design in hemp makes this winter footwear ultra fashionable for the summer. by Cocoavenue

Ooh I'm so excited that Modern Amusement is finally coming out with a women's collection!

The perfect combination of style and comfort from the classic American brand Frye. These are perfect for fall or anytime really...

This dress by Leanimal is just stunning. I love the details and construction of the neckline and the draping of the dress at the bottom.

These "Joanie" shorts by Corey Lynn Calter reminded me of the guys' shorts we saw in post #2405. Great for a warm, casual weekend, with just a plain white vneck tee & flip flops

This school boy cardi from Reyes is a steal. Wear it open with the sleeves scrunched up over a white tee and some navy shorts. Originally $480, it's now on sale for $144.

Tim Gunn might say this Nicholas K jacket is "a lot of look", but I think it works because it's a pretty neutral color, and it's sporty. I like the drawstring action on the sleeves

I love the combination of rich cognac leather, rivet accents, and cutout sides (summer feet need ventilation!) on these Charlotte Ronson flats. They'll also look great with your navy tights come fall.

"NOT JUST A LABEL is a place for those who find their way off the beaten track, allowing them to express themselves in a community where anything goes...break the mold, redefine the expected, re-colour the palette, inspire and be inspired.”

This is what I'd call a back-to-school jacket for a young adult male. The colored stripe is fun and playful, but the tailored fit and muted brown hue are all grown up. by Diesel

Terre Peck's Treccia Sandal is a lovely way to do black and white this season. It also gives you a bit of extra height. Now $219 (was $365).

I finally discovered the source of the killer earrings Charlize Theron wears in Hancock. Brooklyn-based designer Nicole Landaw was the recent winner of GenArt's Design Vision Award for accessories and her work shows her ingenuity and singular design flair.

Swedish label ACNE is launching a collection of men's boxers, briefs, tanks, and pajama pants for fall. A pair of pajama pants even has a convenient little condom pocket. Now that's one smooth bedroom trick.

Here are a perfect pair of summer shorts from Modern Amusement. Now on sale on their website. Great addition to any man's closet.

For those in need of a unique keyholder, try Martin Margiela's Leather Key Holder. Made in Italy of 100% leather and metal, the key holder offers unique hoods to fit over the grip of your home, office and car keys.

I really love the dramatic sleeves of this dress by Holly Stalder. See some of my other picks from Holly Stalder's latest collection.

This Paper Tiger romper invites me to fly a kite.

Pratima Ayurvedic Skincare ~ the texture and process of the products are fascinating. A sandy powdery cleanser you mix with water, oils you combine as moisturizer, incredible natural skincare!

Chanel has me craving gold nail polish ~ their limited edition for fall is Gold Fiction

men.style.com gives us the run down of the best at Capsule NY right now!

I've been pining for these amazing Tom Ford sunnies for months... simple and not too big, they look great on, for guys or gals!

Dutch designer Anna ter Haar created these unusual dripping sunglasses for the runway show of Klavers van Engelen's 2008 fall winter collection.

This striped silk cotton top with its diagonal cut-out & decorative buttons is part of this seasons collection by designer Valerie Dumaine from Montreal.

Strangely tempted by this Erotokritos Glazed Basquet Bag ~ on sale for $246 ~ "Canvas handbag with screen-printed glossy faux sequins and patent trim throughout."

Bread & Wine ~ one of our fav bag designers, Rebecca Minkoff joined in the "reusable shopping bag" trend ~ How can you not grab a bottle and a loaf with this one on your arm?

One of the more unique accessories I've seen.. a shearling collar by Mayle with grosgrain ribbon ties

For those who don't want to totally subscribe to the wayfarer trend, check out these "Trixie" sunglasses by Karen Walker. They're a little angled, and have a cool arrow accent on the sides

Ren's Moroccan Rose Otto Bodywash has been a staple for me for some time now... and their new Moroccan Rose Otto Ultra Nourishing Body Oil is incredible too. Fun gift set with both, and some teas...

Tights are a great way to make a simple outfit look spectacular. These diagonal crocheted Riga tights by Cette look even nicer up close.

My inner beach bum is coming out ~ and i'm definitely seeking comfort in hoodies ~ drawn to the color/graphic on this Free People one, and fun buttons on the neckline...

Moss Mills ~ Fox Clamper Bracelet!

Mike & Chris Anson Asymmetrical Front Closure Fleece Zip-up Hoodie ~ i can't decide between black and white, but you have to go see the details on the back!

Granted, this model frightens me a bit ~ i'm intrigued by this cut ~ sarong meets baby doll, with a tulip like bottom? Voom by Joy Han, Paige Babydoll

For those hot days and warm nights... this exquisitely detailed baby doll silhouette dress is perfect.
