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

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.

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!
