How cool is this?

I first saw these posted on the Style Bubble blog and I thought this was one of the most clever accessories that I have seen lately. They are from Posso the Spat at www.possothespat.com. For people like me who don't get to the big city that often, they are available on a couple of internet boutiques. They are not cheap, but if you're willing to spend a bit to have something unusual, these are really great!

Rachel Maddow in Vogue

I saw this picture in the latest Vogue magazine, and I love this woman's style! She is TV news personality Rachel Maddow, and she looks simultaneously beautiful, cool, androgenous and slightly geeky.

I wonder if I could pull off this outfit looking so great?

Check out silk scarves at Gilbea.com!

I love the bright colors and modern designs on these silk scarves!

Great British designer Emma Cook

Thanks to The Clothes Horse blog for turning me on to this designer. I love the patterned tights. I have worn black tights with patterns for years, even when they were not particularly in style. I also love the military inspired hats and coats. I reminds me of the German uniforms that Tom Cruise wore in the movie Valkyrie, which I saw last night. It appears that German officers of WWII were a pretty stylish bunch, with there well tailored wool coats and shiny black leather boots. Anyway, this is a spring style that I might be interested in trying for myself.

Buy a pop-art shirt and change the world.

My son and I bought t-shirts like this today at Tideloadsofhope.com. We saw it on a TV ad, and the profits go to wash the clothes of people who are homeless and disadvantaged. What a great idea! At $15 the t-shirts are very reasonable, and remind me of Andy Warhol's soup can pictures.

Love these riding boots!

I have always loved riding boots and have been surfing the internet in search of a pair for myself. I came across these boots at equifit.net and they are from Tretorn. Apparently, they are popular with European riders. Unfortunately, the $750 price tag is a bit too much, but I think they are cool looking.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Here are some prefall styles from Nicole Miller that I would like to find under the Christmas tree.

I love these Marni accessaries!

I discovered this designer today on the Vogue UK website, and I love it! I'm going to remember this designer the next time I buy new glasses. I also love the big flowers on the cuff bracelet and necklace.

Hats from Rike Feurstein in Berlin

I found these photos on the internet at rikefeurstein.com. The designer is from Berlin, so I don't know if these hats are available in the U.S. I'm enjoying looking at them anyway.
