Today we're flying the friendly skies to Hong Kong and, even though we've successfully packed two weeks worth of clothing and necessities into carry-on baggage (do we get a gold medal for that Michael Phelps?), we'd love one of these fabulous luggage tags proclaiming MINE to keep strange hands off our goods.

Those four little letters, so chicly engraved into alligator leather, say it all.

Where to stake your claim?

At the impossibly posh Charlotte Moss.

P.S. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend and we'll see you back here next week! In the meantime, check out the BussBuss blog for insider Project Runway scoop. Hint: Our very own Kelly Lee got to visit the Project Runway offices and play in it the PR closet! Read all about it here.

Remember Cabbage Patch Kids? Of course you do. Who doesn't?

Well, meet the new version, in our humble totally expert opinion anyway.

The big diff?

Adults will covet these just as much as the wee ones.

Each is one of a kind and handmade by Michigan-based Etsy artist Simpli Jessi.

Custom orders are available too (so you literally can be a doll!), though we're totally in love with the bespectacled Ilona, an award-winning mathematician who likes to ride her scooter to the local bakery.

Adopt yours now, before someone else does!

It's no surprise that most of us don't get enough fruits and veggies in a day. And, let's face it, we probably never will. Unless they're covered in chocolate...

But we can get a daily serving of fruity fabulousness with one of New Zealand designer Ashley Hilton's fruity rings.

We think these make great anniversary, wedding and Valentine's Day gifts.

Cue saccharine but irresistible sentiments like You're The Apple of My Eye, You're Such a Peach, We Make the Perfect Pear and Orange Ya Glad We Found Each Other?

No need to hop a flight to New Zealand to score an apple, peach, orange or pear.

Simply head here!

P.S. Prefer your ring in necklace or earring form? Both are available upon request.

Clearly you know we LOVE Gossip Girl, so you probably won't be too surprised to find out we're total 90210 fans. We've seen every single episode ever made...more than once.

So we're giddier than a Maltipoo in a Milkbone store that the NEW 90210 premieres next week!

Will it be awesome? Will it be awful? Will it matter? We'll be watching anyway!

What will we be wearing to our viewing party?

These kitschy tees from the original series of course. Believe it or not, you can scoop one up at the CBS Store.

How lowbrow-brilliant is that?

Take a peek!

Politics aren't really our bag (so divisive), but we're all for showing our support for our fave Gossip Girl characters.

Team Serena or Team Blair? Team Nate or Chuck?

We love a good villain, so we're Team Chuck all the way.

And with the scandalicious show starting up again in just 10 days (not that we're counting or anything), now's the time to show everyone where you stand.

Where?

At our other guilty pleasure, Fred Flare.

Because this reminds us of the straw that one half of BussBuss proposed to the other half of BussBuss with, before giving her a sparkly diamond number (she said yes to the knotted straw first by the way).

Because it reminds her of the cufflinks she then had made for him out of said straw, which she gave to him on their wedding day.

Because everyone deserves a Love Knot of his/her own.

Designed by Sophie Gardner and available in gold and silver at one of New York's best-curated mini-department stores, auto.

Have a total sweet tooth?

Always caught with your hand in the cookie jar and your finger in the batter?

Good news -- with the latter batter scenario at least.

Now you can go pro next time you're stealing the sweet stuff with this handy (pun SO intended) oversized batterfinger spatula designed by Sylvain Vanderhaegen and Jean Laurent Vie.

No more grossing out those around you, plus even bigger portions for your happy belly.

Where to pick up this sweet treat?

At shopmodi.

Sweater Week may be over, but our obsession with cute cardis never wanes.

Especially when they're as adorable as these preppy finds.

Stripes? Navy? And orange? Love. Love. And lurve.

Where to score them for less than $50 each?

On a trip to Norway a few weeks ago, one thing that stood out in addition to the jaw-droppingly beautiful fjords and monotonously magnificent waterfalls were all the houses with grass roofs.

Can we say storybook-cute? Almost as cute, in fact, as all the sheep grazing in the road.

We love that this ring reminds us of that trip and shares the same charming sensibility.

We also totally think fashion's favorite Moss, Kate, should be cheeky and make this her signature ring.

Where to get in on the grass-roots trend?

Adorn Jewelry on Etsy.

Finally! The weekend is here.

And we can't think of anything better on the weekend than pancakes.

Except for bear-shaped pancakes, that is.

For you health nuts, you can also make bear omelets in this adorable non-stick skillet, too.

Made by the fabulous Japanese brand Cram Cream, found by the ultimate cute-seekers at Fred Flare.

Take a peek!

Do you suffer from feelings of excessive worry, irritability, restlessness and...a wicked sense of humor?

Apparently wannabe rock star turned jewelry designer Cid Scantlebury-Le Seac'h of Precious Metal Cid suffers from at least the latter. And if you're a victim of the former, surprise, you're human (or at least a New Yorker -- or a mom)!

We love the Lower East Sider's Better Living Through Chemistry collection, particularly the Valium ring and earrings. Klonopin and Vicodin also available in sterling silver and gold form.

No prescription needed.

Simply head to Precious Metal Cid.

We just made cupcakes for a fave friend's birthday. The only thing that could have made playing with chocolate for hours better?

This delectable apron by Carolyn's Kitchen.

We love that it looks like a dress you'd find at Anthropologie or, better yet, something Mad Men's Mrs. Draper would wear. And we especially love how it covers all of you, so you'll never ruin one of your beloved frocks again.

Be the hostess with the mostest and get the matching kitchen gloves, too.

Where to get your cupcake on?

At Bunny Maxwell.

Have you had the pleasure of meeting Fifi Lapin?

May we introduce you?

She's THE vintage and designer-loving haress to her father's fortune, which he made playing fast and loose with carrot and lettuce shares on the international stock market. She absolutely adores fashion and always sports the latest runway looks.

Instead of paying some premium fee to the paparazzi for a photo of the jetsetting Haress Hilton, you can snag a print of her in Chanel, Proenza Schouler, Luella and more. Lots more once Fashion Week starts next month, we're sure.

In the meantime, follow the London-based Fifi at her blog, where you'll discover that, like us, she's also a fan of indie designers Lena Corwin and Abigail Percy. There, you can also befriend her on Facebook and MySpace.

Or, shop for original illustrations and limited edition prints of her at her Etsy store now!

We love that borrowing from the boys is such a huge trend for fall and have always been partial to all things preppy.

Which explains why we fell hard for New Orleans-based designer Laura Skelton's necktie necklaces.

Fashioned from vintage neckties and filled with Mardi Gras beads on the inside, we love the play of formal and festive.

And that each is one of a kind and handmade.

Not to mention a steal at just $20 each.

Wanna get prepped for fall?

Get thee to prix-prix!

We're in love, love, love with Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's, so it should come as no surprise that we had to ban our self-imposed Etsy art ban to get our hands on RISD grad Ellen Lohse's amazingly sweet prints.

We're already bummed some of the limited editions prints from the series have sold out, so we're not going to dilly-dally and you shouldn't either.

Audrey and Breakfast at Tiffany's not your cup of tea (blasphemy!)?

Scope out other faves like 'Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums.'

Where?

elloh at Etsy.

On the hunt for a fab new bag that doesn't have logos all over it and isn't just one big hunk of leatha (Stella would be so disappointed)?

Meet the irresistible elephant carryall tote by amykathryn.

Decked out with elephants (a custom print on ultrasuede by designer Amy Hall) -- but in a very grown-up way, we love that it's totally animal-friendly (we bet Natalie Portman would totally dig that it's made of faux leather, too).

We also love the bright pop of yellow against the bronze copper handle and trim, which makes it equally fabulous for summer as it will be for fall.

The best part? It's under $100.

Scoop one up before they're extinct.

Where?

Edge of Urge.

Save your shirts with words for the gym and glam up your usual jeans and tee routine with something special from the Toronto-based PrettyRaccoon Clothing instead.

Perfect alone with jeans or with a cute boyfriend blazer or cardigan on top, we love the sweet and luxe images of chandeliers, oversized bows and pearl necklaces. If Marie Antoinette were alive today living in the East Village, she'd be rocking PrettyRaccoon Clothing.

There are also the requisite hipster images of deer, bicycles and owls and even a cute screenprinted scarf with an anchor for those of your feeling nautical, natch.

Where to glam up your tee repertoire?

Here at PrettyRaccoon Clothing.

Feathers have been an increasingly popular trend in fashion, but a girl can't wear a feathered flapper frock every day.

But she can sauce it up a little bit as often as she wants with one of these fab feather hair clips.

Keep the look from looking costumey or forced by pairing your feathered friend with a casual tee and jeans or a simple black dress.

Where to put a feather in your cap?

At the effortlessly cool Bona Drag.

In a world increasingly filled with cynicism, we find ourselves craving anything sunny and happy. And we just happen to be addicted to the Vitamin D we get from that bright ball of fire in the sky. We are in California, after all.

And, for what seems like forever, we've been yearning for a print that says 'Hello Sunshine' that we could hang in our entryway to greet our guests and ourselves.

So we were pleased as punch to discover this sweet You Are My Sunshine print by Jess Gonacha.

Then, as if things couldn't get any better, we found these Hello Sunshine notecards by Kate Spade.

Why not spread a little sunshine yourself?

Dare we say it's the new black?

The next time you have friends over for a Mad Men pizza and cocktail party (which should be every Sunday in our opinion), surprise them with these hysterical Dress for Dinner napkins.

Even if everyone's in their trusty Sunday uniform (t-shirts and jeans), they'll look as dapper as Mr. Draper himself once they put their ties...er, napkins on.

An excellent hostess gift or housewarming gift for your best bachelor friend who just moved into his new place, we think these would also be adorable at a little kid's birthday party.

Where to dress for dinner?

At The Spoon Sisters!

p.s. The Spoons are giving BussBuss readers $5 off on orders of $30 or more with coupon code buss through August 15, 2008!
