This season, go on and embellish. From embroidery to metallics, the time is now for special detailed extras. We love the innovative chunky crystal embellishments seen on everything from dresses to bags (did you scope out all of those embellished necklines at the Oscars?). The look is futuristic, fresh and glam in an unconventional way and one of our favorite trends of the season. Sparkly sequins, high-gloss patent leather and chain metal all {click here to read more...}

For the next two weeks, we'll be bringing you the Top 10 Trends for Spring 2007. From barely-there minis to supersized shapes, from the girly to the graphic, there's literally something for everyone this season (whew!). First up, va-va-volume!

Those who loved last year's bubble skirts will be happy to know that volume is big again for spring -- and the volume has gotten even bigger. Dresses and skirts are filling up more space than usual and in interesting shapes, including {click here to read more...}

We're still loving the layered look when it comes to necklaces so today's Louisiana-based designer spotlight on Jeanne Nicole couldn't be more apropos. There's a certain drapey decadence to her jewels – these are the types of pieces you'd wear while sipping martinis in the parlor.

We love the mix between nostalgic and modern, too, and think the necklaces, earrings and bracelets would make gorgeous gifts. Indulge yourself, or someone else you love, in some southern decadence right here at Jeanne Nicole.

Continuing on our quest to highlight Louisiana-based designers, we're thrilled to feature dejarnette new orleans by Katherine Dejarnette Babin, who has become one of our favorite independent jewelry designers over the last year. We especially love the Objet Trouve (found object) collection, featuring uncommonly cool and romantic necklaces from vintage finds. Along with the Carnival piece, a heavy, pewter vintage Mardi Gras doubloon dating back to 1967, we really heart the numbered necklaces as well as the Special Delivery envelope locket.

Be sure to scope out the Elegant collection as well, where you'll find a remix of vintage finds and modern day materials like wrought iron earrings and necklaces. If you see something that makes you swoon, scoop it up stat, as these pieces are one of a kind. Find your faves here at dejarnette new orleans.

Since New Orleans is celebrating Mardi Gras this week, we thought it a fitting time to spotlight Louisiana-based designers. First up in our southern scavenger hunt is B-Native, a great shop bringing together select items that are created in New Orleans, by New Orleans or items that bring awareness to New Orleans.

We especially love Alexa Pulitzer's notecards and paper goodies, Olivia Gallander's necklaces and Studio Inferno's vibrant paperweights that are replicas of NOLA water meters. Shop and show your support for the great city that still needs it right here at B-Native.

The Day of Love may be behind us, but that doesn't mean we aren't still keen on lovely things. Case in point? Brooklyn designer Kiel Mead's 'Forget Me Knot' ring that acts as a reminder for important thoughts or that special significant other.

Available in silver or gold, you can get knotty right here at the Shop at Cooper-Hewitt.

Valentine's Day may be over, but that doesn't mean you should stop spreading the lurve. We're loving Monokuro Boo, a couple of pigs who love purity and simplicity and are gracing us with their presence on this darling mug. They say love is in the details and this mug is full of them, from the heart-shaped handle (which is also ergonomic) to the inside rim that reads, "happy?" to the adorable packaging that makes this mug a great gift.

Add some Jacques Torres hot chocolate and you're golden. Pick up your mug here at Day Lab and score some hot chocolate here at Jacques Torres.

One of our readers wrote in with a common shopping dilemma. On a budget, she needed to find a great spring bag without spending more than $30. Not a problem here – in fact, we could get two at that price (it's a sickness, people). To see what we found, head here to Kelly's Klicks!

We clearly love a brilliant idea and this inside-of-the-box thinking had us at 'Manolo.' Shoe Stor boxes were created by a husband for his wife (and his sanity) because she never could find her shoes. His solution? Clear, ventilated, stackable boxes that fold away when not in use. It's that folding away part that has space-starved fashionistas and the organizationally challenged alike all abuzz.

And, unlike other boxes, these open at the end, so you don't have to pull out the entire box and remove the lid to retrieve your treasured shoes – or handbags or belts or ribbons or love notes or, well, you get the idea. Get it together and score your slice of sanity right here at Shoe Stor.

What happens when two childhood friends, one a former jewelry designer and the other a shoe maven, get together? Shewlery, that's what. Yup, jewelry for your shoes, Shewlery kicks your boots up a notch with drapey chains, velvet ribbons, funky beads and sweet charms. We dig the Rich Girl, a chain with velvet ribbon that resembles the very trendy CC SKYE bracelets that were such a hit last year (Nicole Richie rawked hers more than once).

Find your own faves and give your shoes a makeover right here at Shewlery.

Are you a fashionista with Champagne taste and a lollipop budget? New York designer darlings Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler have just debuted their line for Target's GO International collection.

We're digging several of the youthful looks, and love the playful use of color. We especially love that we can get one of their signature bustier dresses for $1300 less (that's no typo folks) than their luxe line. Check out all of the looks and scoop up your faves at Target.

We've always loved One Good Bumblebee and recently found out that the sweet online shop has expanded to carry not only creator Katey Nicosia's designs, but goodies by lots of others too.

What's a girl to find? All sorts of random adorableness, such as the cutest paperclip contraption ever, ice cream pens, Cinnamon Toast Crunch lip balm (yum!), a singing bird cage, vintage airmail envelopes, darling journals and diaries, art, jewelry and oodles more. Can't make up your mind? Nab a Jar of Whimsies, filled with vintage trinkets and whimsical treasures, right here at One Good Bumblebee.

We've always loved Side Pony for their cute cards that remind us of being children of the '80s. And we think the Smitten series is just perf for Valentine's Day.

Choose from lyrically inspired cards like 'hooked on a feeling' and 'because your kiss is on my list' to retro nods such as 'wanna slow skate?'

Despite ugly being the new pretty (thanks to the very non-ugly and adorable Ugly Betty), a girl still needs all the help she can get in the beauty department. Which is why we're total suckers for these girly-glam 100% silk pillowcases. Not only do they prevent wrinkles by minimizing morning facial creases, they also extend the life of your hairstyle – plus, they simply feel like butta against your pretty lil face.

Each comes with a soft silk headband, too, to hold your tresses back while you rest. The only thing missing is your own private butler, but hey, the year is still young. Nab a case of your own right here at Intuition.
