On cute splashy totes for spring/summer, i'm craving this shiny silver ~ recycled sail totebag with rope handles, and a cute little anchor charm!

I've been curious about those resin coated black jeans but didn't feel like dropping $200 for a pair.. maybe I'll get these Lux ones from Urban for $68

I just discovered that Nixon, one of my favorite men's watchmakers, also does belts. Their styles feature the same fusion of modern design and retro kitsch that make their watches so popular.

Here's the two-tone shoe from aforementioned Shipley & Halmos vid post. It's a new line called Heutchy, designed by Sam Shipley's childhood friend (they had a T-shirt line when they were 13), Wells Stellberger. Beautiful stuff.

I've simultaneously fallen for the 'opportunity' trench coats of The Lake & Stars and the work of photographer, Tim Zaragoza... but are they as amazing separated?

Dior's new Flower Blossom Pressed Powder Compact (with designs inspired by nature's flora and fauna) has me longing for spring.

Another video worth watching from refinery29.. Shipley & Halmos, formerly of Trovata. Gorgeous two tone shoe in the vid, and the trip to the burrito cart is too cute.

Scott Sternberg, the guy behind Band of Outsiders, has kinda become my new hero ever since I read that he doesn't have a fashion background. Check out this vid from Refinery29. & they point at a board of polaroids! Hehe.

I love the pretty gathering on the bodice of this Tracy Reese dress

Ooh very cool shape on these Loeffler Randalls.

I love that fashion designers can pull inspiration from just about anywhere. I just don't do bugs. Never have, never will. (Can somebody hand me a newspaper so I can swat that thing?)

CARGO's blu_ray collection ~ does this mean that blu_ray has definitely beat HD DVD? Has the beauty industry stepped in and picked sides? Makeup ready for your high-definition moments.

One of the backpacks from the Raf Simons & Eastpak collaboration. Loving the multi color straps and the overall muted colors. I'd def use this if I needed a backpack. (via notcot.org post #8573)

Honestly, Zac Posen could do no wrong on the runway this week. And, while many of you raised an eyebrow at the puffy black ears the models were wearing, all I could see were butterflies flying up and down the runway.
