After seeing Element Eden's spring 2010 lookbook, it was hard to put it out of my immediate memory.

This new, free-spirited collection finds the Eden girl on an inward journey of the soul. Featuring bold fabrics, pastel hues and feminine silhouettes, this line has me searching for an escape to warmer climates. The pictures are beautiful, too.

I also love the visionaries behind the line - so inspiring.

Be sure to check out the summer 2010 sneak peek video by photographer Glynis Arban. Gorgeous. Has me craving that warm summer breeze.

The last thing I want to do these days is look at anything related to cold/snow/wind/rain (i.e. fall clothing).

Good thing there are beautiful spring lookbooks like this one from Talula to distract me from the shivery outdoors :)

The setting really caught my eye: scattered roses, skulls, pentagrams, old books and antique cabinets. Magical and so different from the norm.



tout va bien.

Classic, natural shapes get reinvented in Odette New York's jewelry line.

Jennifer Sarkilahti, a New York City artist who designs and crafts this distinctive collection, begins each original piece with a pencil sketch that is carefully fabricated - by hand - into a tiny wax sculpture before being cast into metal. The handmade pieces are delicate and organic - and each has its own rich cut and texture.

I can't decide which one (or two or three) I want. But, my absolute favorite is the Snake Necklace. What's yours?

Shop the line at odetteny.com.

Though the economy is still in shambles, most designers continue to showcase their upcoming collections via the catwalk. Halston, however, opted to take the road less traveled - literally and figuratively.

Model and literary descendant Dree Hemingway* was handpicked to star in the line's fall 2009 video lookbook, where the runway is replaced by a Manhattan street. There, Hemingway runs barefoot in a flowing yellow Chiffon dress from the upcoming line. Each block she passes lends a taste of the city: a hotel, a newsstand, a boutique, graffitied walls.

The video, as simple as it is, really is beautiful. I mean, c'mon, great clothes, great music, great colors, great cars. It doesn't get much better.

I like.

*Um, imagine Ernest Hemingway reading you bedtime stories as a child. Holy crap.
