Brooklyn Industries leather bags inspired by vintage sports equipment...

Inès Ruffle Bikini in Black from Australian designers Amber&Thomas.

Zirh Warrior Collection ~ interesting idea... making men want to smell like Julius Caesar, Charlemagne, Ulysses, Alexander the Great...

Make your own clothes. SANS releases digital patterns of past designs. Good for a recession as burlap sacks are hard to find these days

If indie and preppy combined, it would be Argentina's The Beautiful Ones. Autumn and Winter collection just released.

Beautiful canvas and leather tote by the Sweden based label Made by Noemi. This bag should lend itself perfectly to everyday use and the natural materials will get better with age.

Passersby Cardigan ~ in the new anthropologie catalog... they went a bit button happy on this one!

Fashionation, an alternative fashion universe where fashionistas, photographers and creatives can get their weekly fix of the best fashion editorial from around world from The Cool Hunter.

Very pretty "Deja Vu" dress by Twinkle. Love the subtle, varied print, and of course the pleating!

The Denim Design Lab™ Kit is a collection of tools used for hand finishing denim and includes the book Denim Design Lab, and the first consumer version of a denim finishing bladder used by pro denim laundries.

This Ingwa Melero Dress features beautiful details such as delicate chain straps. It's perfect for holiday party-hopping.

Very cool hooded coat by Cloak & Dagger. Love how it looks from the back, and the single button at the collar.

just awesome clothes for winter inspiration. (love the parka, latex leggings, the hair and the camera!) [photo gallery over at Hint]

Uki International's "Go On" is the cutest, tiniest little hair dryer... also you've got to check out their designer twists on the full sized dual handle ergonomic dryer and colorists tray.

It's simple but it works. Mens cardigan by Stephan Schneider

Oooh apparently destressing Skyn Iceland ~ is launching Pure Cloud Cream in jan ~ Made with aloe, hydrolyzed rice proteins, and peptides that stimulate endorphins (natural "happy messengers")

Maggy jacket by Eros. Very interesting design. (and when did Urban outfitters start carrying stuff this expensive??)

A fine topper. EubiQ NY Underground Overcoat, $330 @ Context.

Love, love, love this tulip coat from Smythe les Vestes. $630 @ Language.

And for anyone that appreciates a great detailed little animal pendant with character (they have TONS) in silver, gold, and rose gold... Moss Mills' specialty.

Coming Fall/Winter 07 ~ White Cane Label... a line coming soon as an "advocate designed to empower an independent lifestyle and to promote better services for the blind and visually impaired."

never too early to start thinking about fall/winter: i love the closure and mock neck on this ferragamo quilted vest

"Fast static mash" (say that 3 times fast!) shirt by FCUK. Comes with detachable tie... is that like a clip on?? But you won't have to worry about finding a tie that matches. Love the all black look

I recently discovered Frankie magazine from the down under. It's like an Australian version of Nylon. I'll definitely be picking it up again.

Phaidon follows up its wildly successful "Fruits" books with "Gothic & Lolita". It delves into the Tokyo fashion subculture of the Gothic Lolita with photographs and candid Q&As with the kids.

Eley Kishimoto's Fall/Winter 07 is lousy with their signature pattern play. The line is always so pop, but this season manages to be lady-like as well.

Metallic python pump by Theory. sleek and shiny

No reason to wear regular ol' shorts when you're getting active during the summer... check out these Diesel cropped sweatpants.

A MUST for any sweater owner. I finally have a washer with a 'hand wash' setting. I flip the switch, add a cap full of the magic liquid, and I laugh all the way to the bank (with all the money I've saved by not dry cleaning my wool and cashmere sweaters)

Gytha Mander has a bizarre Wood Tie.

I usually don't lose my sh-- over sneaks, but my dome is going explode if I don't get these patterned Adria Sleek De Luxes!! Help!

Keep it simple, stupid, with Juan Carlos Obando's cotton overcoat with exaggerated collar and pleated sleeves. Aren't those buttons a sweet afterthought?

Ahh I was totally in love with this dress when Jeffrey on last season's Project Runway showed it on the season finale!
