We were really hoping to find that perfect scarf this winter that also had little pockets. Try as we did, nothing was ever as warm and inviting (and inexpensive) as this big chunky scarf from Need Supply Co. After looking over their catalog, it’s not at all surprising we kept coming back. It’s extra long, 100% acrylic and comes in five colors.

Halloween may be over, but our romance with all things skull and bones isn’t. We’ll just blame it on Johnny Depp, I guess. We’ve been sitting on this little number since we found it over at Will’s blog, Momentum of Failure, in October. It definitely hasn’t become any less cool in that time. Granted it’s probably because it was so awesome to begin with. Thanks J.Press.

Let it be known here and now that I likely have a Kate Spade addiction/problem. Shoes, clothes, jewelry and even stationary. I’m sure an intervention isn’t too far away at this point, but everything is just so… perfect. Like these brand new and colorful, high-gloss totes in quilted patent leather. Elegant, but fun. Clean lines and yet functional. I want all four.

Are you the designer? The maker? The ideas guy – or the business man? What ever your role, we just love the simplicity and “start-up” statement these tees from Boston-based Etcetera Media. Rockstar silver ink screen-printed on super soft Alternative Apparel t-shirts in an understated gray.

This smart looking trench by Mark New York works whether you’re headed out for a business lunch, happy hour cocktails, or for errands around town on the weekend. It looks gray, but it’s actually got hints of brown chevron wool woven in that accent it nicely. The sleek look is accomplished by hiding four main buttons up front, with one visible at the front yoke and an extra-wide lapel to keep you warm.

Rachel Roy has been dazzling us with her self-named line since it launched in 2005. Now, this little number may not be the smartest choice in December, but damn – it’s hot. That’s what the coat check is for any way, right? Made from a sheer silk-chiffon, the tank features thick jacquard stripes with a scoop neck and racer back. And although our budget doesn’t necessarily agree with it, our wish list does. See the whole look in more detail after the link.

Girls, you need to get your man a pair of these pants. Have you been noticing that men’s pants just don’t fit well? Maybe it’s just our city, but guys – you need to step it up. These pants will make his butt look great: slim enough to be flattering, but relaxed enough that he’s not going to get uncomfortable. Khakis, corduroys, weddings – shorts, polos & tees… we’ve picked a few of our favorites for your approval.

It seems like everyone has a touch screen phone these days (this Swank City writer included). Sifting through layers of lip gloss, empty packs of gum and a pound of loose change in my purse is bad enough, but when it’s cold out I’m definitely going to miss your call because I can’t answer the phone with gloves on. Until now…
Enter our DOTS Gloves Give-a-Way!

This 2.5″ Johnny Fluevog heel was inspired by a famous opera singer known for her extraordinary flexibility, range, and power. You’ll be inspired by the five funky colors (plus the requisite black) and their incredible comfort. There is little doubt these will end up being your daily favorite: dressed-up or dressed-down.

Let’s face it, most of our sexy lingerie goes to waste when we wear it because it’s usually only seen by two people. Socks, on the other hand, you can show off to strangers on the bus, co-workers visiting your cube, or anyone at the coffee shop – without needing to go to confession. Why not express a little of your personality with a pair of socks from Sock it to Me. With hundreds of adorable socks for men and women, the five shown above barely do them justice. Who knows? You might even wear a pair that you designed.
