 How much would  YOU pay for them? 

I'll show you my top 10: 

NEON NEON NEON

Elbow + Patch

Jacket elbows getting a little threadbare? SAVE THE JACKET! The company Jack Foxley makes sew-your-own elbow patches in colorful colors such as orange and mustard. Just order them and pop them on yourself. When people ooh and ahh you can be like "yeah, I did that." And walk away.

 Don't own a needle? Send it to them and they'll do it for you. Now that's good service.

Cut + Out

I just can't take my eyes off these Viktor and Rolf dresses from spring 2010. They are unreal. I need to feel them to believe them, though. They hardly look structurally possible.

Travel + Wardrobe

For those of you about to embark on an exciting adventure for spring break, here's a quick simple guide for the perfect travel outfit from Oh Happy Day! Keep it to these 7 easy essentials and you will be ready for all the jet setting in the world. And hey, if you're abroad, no one will know/care if you wear the same outfit everyday! 

 {if you take only one tip away from this outfit- the scarf that doubles as a blanket is by far the most useful item. Airplanes, road trips, impromptu naps- there's nothing it won't come in handy for! Try this gorgeous purple travel wrap from White + Warren}

Sparkly + Cosmos

GOLD + FOOD

SAY WHAT? The German-based Deli Cooperative Food Company has come up with a tasteless, odorless, edible SPRAY PAINT FOR FOOD!!!!

I can't tell if I'm more intrigued or disgusted...

I could MAYBE understand the apple (how cool would you look eating a golden apple??) but a TURKEY? That's beyond even me.

Gold + Cap

Lusting after these gold-capped brogues backstage at Derek Lam.

(I spy another DIY...)

Business + Cards

I don't know if you've noticed but I have a slight obsession with business cards. I just find it so fascinating how much of your personality and information you can fit onto a little piece of paper. Or beef jerky. Or fabric...
