The perfect casual jacket for fall has to be Hickey's nylon quilted sport coat. Wear with a pair of corduroys or jeans for a relaxed but stylish look.

A beautiful Rafe jeweled leather clutch inspired by Bottega Veneta but for much less. This timeless and year round clutch looks good and feels good in your hand.

On today's olympics theme, love the mashup of high fashion and sports ~ great slideshow at NY Times, this is Alexander McQueen for Fencing.

Super bright colors are everywhere, and probably the easiest way to get in on that trend is with a tshirt. I like the wider collar on this "Jewel Neck" crew tshirt by James Perse

I'm all about metallic footwear lately.. I think sandals are great in metallics because they don't completely cover your feet in shininess. Kinda liking this pair by Muzina

Strutt's two-tone black and gold thong sandal is chic and oh so sexy.

Off shoulder dress by Ella Moss.

Pretty, very sheer top by Iben Hoj

I like the dainty puffed sleeves and muted colors of this 3.1 Phillip Lim dress (on sale).

By Malene Birger's Pillar Jersey Dress is the perfect summer day dress.

The perfect summer sandal. by Maud

The Bedelia satchel in nude by Loeffler Randall is the perfect spring/summer accessory.

Good-looking pair of Levi's Capital E. Slim straight leg "Matchstick"

Just saw these jeans from Issey Miyake's SS08 collection. Pretty cool! (Can you imagine someone wearing these with a skeleton print tshirt and that hoodie with the zip up skull hood?)

Nice little peacoat by WeSC. I love the funnel collar

The star pattern on this blouse by Alice Ritter is so cute. There's also a dress available in the same fabric

A ladylike knuckle duster by Maison Martin Margiela.

Black messenger bags that are sleekly designed and ridiculously packed with features! Latest ones coming from Incase ~ with "faux fur lining", removable laptop sleeves, molded skate bumpers and more.

This toggle button, cutaway cardi from Gentle Fawn is the perfect go-with-everything topper.

Cute and comfy looking Lodge French Blazer by Triple 5 Soul

Kinda cool scalloped dress by Lela Rose

Another hit from Pedro Garcia. This cute ankle-wrap number is the perfect party shoe.

Another great layering piece from J. Lindeberg. The Nick Chainstripe Oxford looks great layered under sweaters or on its own. Was $109, now practically free.

Zip tie rings cast in silver ~ is it geek chic? or is it just another reference to what has become such an everyday object?

Eau de YOSH Sottile. "This fragrance is an elegant bouquet of tea rose and muguet." I can't comment on how it smells but talk about great minimal package design! (now 60% off at adasa)

Pretty and dark at the same time. Gigi kitten heel by Tracy Reese

Grey and black is everywhere which makes a rich color like this stand out all the more. It's mighty peasant-y, but I bet this Jovovich Hawk dress could be modernized with some sort of jacket or something

Erin Fetherston is known for her fantastic coats and this one is no exception. We feel like we’re floating through the cosmos with the abstract heart pattern in this ethereal coat.

Mmmm... The Emmy boot by Loeffler Randall.

RUGenius needs this Justine Case from Benefit. It has a cute mini of our fav benetint ~ as well as eyecon, some kind-a-gorgeous, and california kissin'

My Anna Corinna MiniCity Tote has gone bronze this season....

For guys looking for a long coat that's different from the standard trench coat, check out this one by Kosmetique Label

A roundup of this season's best totes, backpacks and briefcases. Fall style is in the bag.

Mike & Chris is now renown for their gorgeous leather jackets that wow audiences season and season again. The Levi is no exception to this trend.

Ooh very nice deconstructed hoodie/jacket by Nom de Guerre

Oh Loeffler Randall, why must you keep tempting me? The latest offering of theirs I'm lusting after is this Sylvie wedge boot

Hint Mag's shop currently has this rectangular uni-sex shirt designed by SANS! So unique, I had to share.

This earrings by Jib & Genoa are to die for. The mix of art deco with a touch of asian design is really unique.

Open boot season is nigh. I MUST HAVE these Miss Sixty (with a very sensible 3-inch) Cone Heel Boots in brown. That roundy-pointy toe! That heel! ack! I have that ache in my heart again...

This striped tee deftly avoids the "Hi, I'm from Jr. High!" vibe with graceful off-kilter lines and minimal narrative hints.

Some cute & cheap frames at Anthropologie

Luscious light grey Moni Moni Savana Bag

Forget the ubiquitous "I'm not a plastic bag" bag. I'd rather have Baggu, a nylon bag that looks like a regular plastic bag. Designed by Emily Sugihara, a former intern w/ Proenza Schouler

Prada, and possibly Gucci... now Levi's is diving into the cell phone market? (via notcot.org post #4828)

Spragwerks Custom Jewelry's Guillotine Pendant is made from sterling silver and is a great way to let people know not to mess with you.
