Sorry for the delay in posts this morning ~ just got back from a Lucky Magazine photoshoot at A+R! Here are some behind the scenes shots...

Of course there has to be some Lark & Wolff stuff for the guys... lots of button downs, like this adorable tiny gingham, and even a pair of pants. And nothing in the collection (for guys) is over $68!

Another U neck tshirt for the guys, this time from B.Son, another label that makes super soft shirts

The Summer Shirt by American Apparel is a favorite of the NOTCOT team. It's been a staple in my wardrobe for 2 years now!

Whoaaa I'm in love with this "Sonya" gladiator sandal by Dolce Vita! Love the heel, love the straps of varying sizes, love the different buckles!

These beautiful silk-embroidered shoes are from the 17th century. They are part of the Bata Shoe Museum which is a historical collection of European shoes going back to the renaissance.

The luxurious qualities of monoi oil are showing up in many beauty products. The Thymes version of body care which utilizes this sacred oil not only smells heavenly, but, is packaged elegantly as well.

Six Yards of Sheer Elegance- The Indian Sari. Learn how to drape a Sari.

Ooh I want this necklace by Dirty Librarian Chains. I love the crazy tangledness and the fancy clasp (bottom right pic)

Oooh Audrey Tautou will be the new Face Of Chanel for No. 5 in 2009 - accompanied by a little Chanel film with the director of Amelie!!! ... as well as playing Coco Chanel in a new french film

Attus Apparel takes douchiness to a new level... Planet Douche - because popping 23 collars makes it hot? Couldn't stop laughing when this showed up in my inbox...

Texturized face features circular dials tracking two time zones with super Luminova hands. Twin Watch
by Android.

Mike & Chris never ceases to make incredible clothing for me to lust after. The Edwin dress is perfect for any spring occasion.

This vintage bathing suit seems like the sort of thing I'd see in faded photographs of beachgoers from the 50's.

Gladiator sandals by farylrobin. I'm loving gladiator sandals right now and these are some of the coolest I've seen.

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

This is by Kalb & Co. It keeps my clothes from getting eaten by moths. And they smell swell.

It's a hoodie. It's a trench coat. It's the hooded trench sweatshirt by Opening Ceremony. (feels a bit like mike & chris for guys)

I'm drawn to big and shapeless items lately... This Linus sweater by Mike & Chris is no exception. (Only thing I don't like is that it's mostly viscose..)

Coziest cape woven with an allover plaid, cut in a loose oversized fit with a button placket and buttoned front pockets by Lux.

Full leather high high high pretty wedges from Rachel Comey. Love them.

This beautiful leather shrug from New York based designer Maria Cornjeo's Zero line feels like an updated regency jacket. And I like that feeling. A lot.

Willow Wisp (faux) fur hooded coat by Free People. So cute and wintery. Looks like something you'd wear to ice skate on the frozen pond...

Okay i love love love this shirt by Henrik Vibskov! Dunno how well you can see it in this pic, but it's got "elaborate yet still discrete deep v vest seaming details". I'm a sucker for clever, subtle details!

Very cool shape on this minimalistic funnel neck trapeze coat by Elie Tahari

NotCouture launch week continues... it's giveaway time! Learn about premium denim label Kasil, and find out how to WIN A PAIR of these jeans! (We made it easy, really...)

Uniqlo's Fall look book is up on their website. I love their concept of simplicity, and I definitely spy some pieces I need to get my hands on.

"Sometimes you look at a shoe and you realize that it's not just a shoe. It is art. It is multiple orgasmic sex. Christian Louboutin introduces the multiple orgasmic sex peep-toe." Papier blog's advertising copy writing is too cute.

A.P.C. has released its Fall collection, with great fall basics like a tartan peacoat and cashmere knits.

I've been following Mich Dulce since the opening of Store For All Season and her S/S 07 collection is my favorite yet!

Also from Sabrina Dehoff's Little Helper's Collection - White Little Ghost No 023.

Arbor belts ~ gorgeous in Bamboo, Ravenswood, Koa, Eucalyptus, and Bolivar.

Sweet "Queen" bag by Matt&Nat. "Vegan leather." Not sure about carrying what's basically a plastic bag, but they claim it's better for the environment than leather (cos of the tanning process, etc.) Hmm...

Platform peep toes by Lanvin... you probably won't have to worry about another girl at the party wearing the same shoes you're wearing when you've got these on

And it stoned me to my soul. MJ does it again and again and again. The Paloma in Wheat (stone and leather) for Fall 07. Advice: get on the waiting list ASAP.

Still in a summery mood... Sandals by Dolce Vita

Amazing Bowie-inspired jewelry from new designer Amanda Assad Mousner.
