I saw this on InStyle.com the other day. It's the cutest way to protect your 'do from the elements that I've ever seen. It's made of white weather-resistant cotton, with either green or black patent leather trim. Granted, it costs a lot more than a kitschy plastic kerchief, but it's got some serious glam.

I totally want this chair. The shape is very Louis XV, but the fun zebra print gives it a modern spin. I think it would be a fun piece for the living room. In the bedroom, it's a cool place to drape clothes when you feel too lazy to use hangers.

This plastic ottoman is pretty groovy. I like how you can rest your drink (or a lamp or your feet or whatever) on the top and fill the middle with books and magazines. It's something that works for the patio too.

I guess this is the mod version of the bean bag chair. As a kid, I loved flopping down on ours...until it burst at the seam, launching static-y Styrofoam beads in every direction. (Oops.) Even though I despise the name (Fatboy? Really?), I would love to come home and flop down on one of these. I especially like the Marimekko fabric.

I love this cotton dress. It's black with a yellow lining that shows through beautiful cutouts on the lower half of the dress, where it's embroidered and decorated with white flowers. I also dig the sweatheart neckline and white scalloped trim along the bodice and spaghetti straps. It's a great date dress.

This wallpaper by Swedish designer Lisa Bengtsson is pretty rad. It can turn one side of your room into a wall of picture frames. You can stick your own photos to the wall inside the borders of the faux frames for a cool effect. Basically, sticking anything to the wall turns it into something of a work of art.

If these strappy open-toe heels from Frye asked me to marry them, I'd probably say yes. I just adore the color of these blue leather shoes. They have a small two-inch heel and lend pretty much any outfit a little panache.

This clutch designed by Nahui Ollin is made of recycled paper and magazine clippings that have been covered in recycled plastic. That makes for a cool eco-friendly bag that looks sort of like a ransom note. It's definitely a conversation piece.

When I was in art class in junior high, our teacher had us create a diorama of our dream home. I'm pretty sure something similar to this lamp was in it. (There was also a stream flowing through the living room.) The lamp base, which comes in six different colors, is made of acrylic, and the shade is a light mesh fabric.

This pretty silk sun dress is making me wish the weather was warmer (and that I was less pale, so that this color would look better on me). I really like the cheery pattern and flattering shape.
