Stones and Rose Ring

Stones and Rose RingI love the slightly organic, fairytale-like feel of Iosselliani jewelry! This ring will run you $152 at Tobi... I wish my ring size wasn't a super tiny 4.5, it's never available online :(

Studded Lapel Blazer

Studded Lapel BlazerStuds don't always make everything better... but in this case they do! Pair with some super skinny pants for a night on the town, or wear it to work with a more conservative sheath dress. Just $55 at Mod Cloth, it will sell out quick!

Lace Inset Tights

These lace inset tights are super unique and fun! I'm totally obsessed with standout leg wear for winter, and these strike the perfect balance - unusual but not over the top! Buy at Free People for $38.

Mesh Biker Shorts

Mesh Biker ShortsI saw sheer bike shorts at the Charlotte Ronson Spring '10 show, layered under skirts or a second pair of shorts. If you like the look, you can get it for $40 at Shop Bop!

Tartan Corset Top

Tartan Corset TopFor high drama wear this alone, for day you can layer it! I couldn't decide if this was a vest, top or blouse, so I gave it all three. Buy at Anthropologie for a surprisingly reasonable $118!

Lust for Less: Cut Out Back Dress

Alexander Wang Tech DressDuring NY Fashion Week, I tried on the Alexander Wang Tech Dress and fell in love! The sexy, cut out back, the cool seam detailing, the dress felt like it was made for me! Alas, it was a pricey $575, which you can drop at Kirna Zabete.

Well, the fashion gods were apparently watching and took pity on me, because Alexander Wang released the exact same dress in cotton modal for his T by Alexander Wang collection!!! For just $90, you can buy this beautiful piece at Satine in black or grey.

Owl's Lab Sale Code

If you want something from Owl's Lab, grab it quick because you can have it for 50% off with code DCD50. Not sure when this expires, so shop away soon.

Asymmetrical Loose Knit Cardigan

Asymmetrical Loose Knit CardiganAh, I always love asymmetrical front cardigans! This Marc by Marc Jacobs one has a loose, almost waffle knit that looks squishy soft - just what you need on a cold day. Buy at Bloomingdale's for $298.

Chain Necklace Tee

Chain Necklace TeeI like how the chain necklace, which is detachable, actually integrates with the long tee! The perfect thing to pair with some fun leggings, buy this in white or black at Wet Seal for the sale price of $14.

Skirt Cape

Skirt CapeI love two in one pieces, it really helps me justify an hefty price tag ;) This organic, ruffles skirt can also be worn as a super cute capelet, great for jazzing up a holiday frock. Buy at Revolve Clothing for $319.

Save Luella

The online fashion world has spent the morning talking about British fashion label Luella. Apparently, even though Luella Bartley won Designer of the Year at last year's British Fashion Awards and her clothing is well known and frequently worn by celebrities, the main financial backer is no longer investing in the line.

I know the economy is tough, but I'm still surprised! This isn't some old, stodgy fashion house that refuses to evolve, but it's also not a brand new line by an unproven designer! Luella is well-known, fresh and popular, if they are having trouble than no one is safe! Quick, everyone throw their money at Marc Jacobs before it's too late!!

Hopefully Luella will find a new investor, I would expect so but I seem to be surprised more and more frequently lately.

Acid Washed Jeggings

I was hesitant at first, but now I live in my denim leggings! Of course, I only like ones with pockets and flys - they're really more like super skinny jeans. These acid washed ones were worn by Stephanie Pratt, who I guess is a celebrity. Buy at Madison LA for $80.

Crystal Bib Necklace

Crystal Bib NecklaceThis bib necklace has a floral, organic feel, and I really, really love the slight asymmetry. Not obvious, but just enough to make you take a second look! Buy at Max & Chloe for $125.
