Cool bag from the C'N'C Costume National SS08 collection

Tannis Hegan Bags available at mooncruise* gallery. Simple and Stylish!

Apolis Activism is quickly becoming one of my favorite menswear labels, and they definitely take the prize for favorite trio of fair-trade loving brothers. Cashmere crewneck sweater, $264.

North Face's new 845 Collection is where "Artistic design meets extraordinary performance." And these sleek silhouettes for men and women can actually withstand all kinds of insane unexpected weather.

Zoe Lee's Mena Boots are killer in person and are definitely worth checking out online or in the Te Casan store on West Broadway...Limited edition!!

Super excited to learn about the launch of Neil Barrett's much anticipated secondary line Black Barrett. Available only in Japan, for now.

According to the folks at Oak, this men's boot by ymc is "a slim belted ankle boot for the dandy punk in everyone."

Very cool tie neck dress by United Bamboo. "drop waist is gussied up with a structural manipulation of pleating and tucking while the skirt flares out from the release of this treatment."

A streamlined mac trench for the guys by Oliver Spencer

Very ladylike coat by Mayle (on sale!) Looks great with the collar up

Wow. How's this for a pop of color in fall/winter? I like the simple but bold print on this Marc by Marc Jacobs Night Blossom silk twill dress. (I'm noticing a lot of MbyMJ's apparel is looking more sophisticated right now but not "old")

I still continue to be surprised at Frye's non-cowboy-ish offerings, like this Clementine skimmer. These look a lot like a pair of Calvin Kleins I own (which are getting beat up.. these could replace them?)

Love how the sequins on this dress by Yaya Aflalo don't appear to be super shiny, and give it just kind of a sheen like leather. The racerback also gives it a nice twist

I think I'm just really drawn to asymmetry... Chunky Fisherman's cardigan by Les Prairies Des Paris. Looks so comfy yet not sloppy

3.1 Phillip Lim also makes an Inspector Coat for women! (The men's version was seen as post #1162) Neat zipper details

Givenchy // Metallic leather ankle-strap sandal.

Fascinating what your lipstick can say about you ~ Stacy Greene does an photo exhibition on just this subject.

Who knew that Chloe made baby clothes? And cute ones at that.

Women’s shoes made from recycled skateboard decks! via Kris Lovett from over at notcot.org

Cool high collar cropped jacket by Cassette

Wow. Even Philip Lim has started a kids line...

Roberto Cavalli's fabulous H&M collection hits stores worldwide today!

Free People's stunning Tibet shot November catalog is now available to browse online

Black & White Damask Shoe Organizer - i think my flip flops and flats kind of need one of these

Just played with the upcoming Oakley Split Thump mp3 glasses and have a full hands on review, unboxing, and comparison with the previous model... fun packaging details, and cool removable earbuds

Beautifully constructed black sweater by Helmut Lang, with a gorgeous little twist.

Oooh check out the sweet black trench she's wearing in these old hollywood glam black and whites in the intro to Oliver Peoples

DIAMOND HARLOT - Storm/White Gold/Diamonds with Grey Gradient - Oliver Peoples 2008 Resort Spring Collection

The cutest way to fend off wet and windy conditions without overheating. This jacket from La Senza's line of work out gear is lined in breathable mesh.

John Varvatos takes the folding reading glasses to the next level with the auto-darkening sunglasses

Gah. I just saw this dark green Zulu NARS Nailpolish that is a sephora insiders exclusive... and want it! But it seems to be sold out.

Occi. Custom made by Tiffany's own Christian Tse for Gourmet.... super bling'd octopus men's pinky ring (go to desserts - jewelry on their flashy site)

Lately I'm into shirts with ultra thin stripes. Veronique Branquinho's black stripe shirt, $280 @ South Willard. I love the placement of her tiny logo (right side, lower third).

12th Street by Cynthia Vincent's Tourmaline Mini Dress is great as a party frock because it's not a traditional holiday color, so you'll stand out from the sea of black satin. It'll also transition well into Spring.

Kyle Knit Scarf by Mike and Chris. Gorgeously cozy merino and alpaca, with oversized buttons to keep it warm and snug on your neck. Sweet.

Getting dressed couldn't get easier or cooler than throwing this Scout mini t-shirt dress on for, well, just about anything.

Cool little hoodie for the guys by Marc by Marc Jacobs. There's something so 80s about it, yet not. Looks comfy...

Inspector coat by 3.1 Phillip Lim. Looks so crisp

Inverted ruins necklace by Mended Veil. very cool!

So very basic and yet somehow lavish. Genius satin plait on this Dolce and Gabbana tank.

Vivienne Westwood is outdoing herself with her Red Label line these days. A lovely and unusual dress you can take from the office, to dinner, to a party, to the after party...

I can't get enough of the accessories over at Free People at the moment. Falling Chandelier Necklace.

Delightfully soft and leafy Fendi Petal Blouse. Business in the front. Party in the back.

A certain spiderwebby appeal to this Vanessa Bruno tank
