Slip on a Snood - A Fashionable Neck Warmer

Neck warmers are a great way to keep fashionably warm without having to deal with the fussiness of a long scarf. Also called a snood, these neck warmers also offer versatility in layering them or wearing them over your head too if it gets really chilly. See more stylish snoods in the slideshow at Stylehive.

Bambako Headbands

Gossip Girl brought headbands into the forefront but these headbands by Bambako take them to a whole new sophisticated level. Details such as feathers, beading, and ornate ribbons make these a perfect compliment to any outfit.

For the Fall/Winter 09 collection, Abigail wanted to create pieces that were fun, strong, and ultra femme.

"This season, I was really drawn to bold statement pieces by playing with different textures and heavy splashes of color in between. I wanted to appeal to a range of girls - from yuppies to hipsters," says Abigail.

Handle & Spout: Girly Accessories

I'm loving the leather jewelry and flowered headband/pins from Handle & Spout. Started by friends Corinne Gill and Blake Ramsey, the crafty duo are inspired by '30s and '40s glamour. The accessories in their line are all super affordable with most items under $35. They are the perfect gift for girlfriends, or can be the perfect accessory for the bride and bridesmaids at weddings.

PRISM London - Fashionable Eyeglasses

I'm in the mood for a new pair of glasses and I am in love with the look of these PRISM London frames. Inspired by vintage frames from the '50s and '60s, designer Anne Laub also was inspired by street style in New York, Paris and Rome. (Her frames are named for the inspiring cities.) The unisex collection has bold frames in cat-eyed, oval and square shapes made in cool colors like midnight blue, zebra tortoise and clear. Each pair of glasses is handmade and hand finished using traditional techniques. See more in the PRISM frames slideshow on Stylehive.

Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton

While shopping at Neiman's the other day, I happened upon the Louis Vuitton area and noticed in the display Louis Vuitton bags and shoes designed by Sofia Coppola. Needless to say, I made the connection of her BFF being Marc Jacobs so I imagine it was a fun friday night with out in Paris or New York when the two decided it was time for her to bring her creativity to LV.

Here's what Marc Jacobs said about his muse:

"She is young and sweet and beautiful," Marc Jacobs has said. "The epitome of this girl I fantasize of."

Her LV products are not sold online but you can take a look at more info about each one by clicking on the links. Here are some of my favorites from Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton.
