Cool Factor

{ Via: Zsa Zsa Bellagio }

Was there anyone cooler than Karl Lagerfeld? He was my inspiration today. As I do my daily shopping sprees down the aisles of the Internet, I run across some very cool things. Most of the time, they aren't what I am looking for that day, but I take note. Today's post features some of my favorite finds. The only thing that they have in common is their own individual "cool factor," and the fact that any one of these picks would make a great gift.

Here's looking at all of you teetotalers. High tea just became cooler. This eerie yet elegant serving piece has been handmade in Paris.

Pop Shoes
Kids shoes have had bells and whistles in the past, but none of them have featured luxury materials like leather before. If I was a child, I would be asking Santa for these. Each pair is equipped with a strip of LED lights on the soles, controlled by an on/off switch. Too cool for school.

Lulu Frost Jewelry
Designer Lisa Salazar has moves like Jagger when it comes to creating jewels with the cool factor. Her designs are inspired by the past, icons like Mick and Bianca, and the Plaza Hotel. Not to mention that she has created something for my own "Miss Shop This." You owe yourself a peek at her things. They are #wishlist worthy.

Sugar Paper LA Holiday

I am into gift wrapping big time. In my view, how you present a gift is as important as the gift itself. Sugar Paper's line for target is for the non traditionalist, like myself. Loving the boxes in cream and black. The paper goods are sophisticated, and very
L.A. cool.

Target

No. 2 Toilet Paper
Toilet Paper with a conscious. You gotta love that. And shall we talk about the chic wrapping? Most importantly, it is made from 100% sustainable bamboo. Which means it will be silky soft. A fun and appropriate gift for the wellness junkie or anyone on you your s#@t list.
Goop

Skyline Chess
Named one of the most beautiful chess sets in the world by Architectural digest. I agree. It's made of marble and bronze. London never looked so beautiful. This design is a game changer.

Roller Skates

Old School Cool: This limited edition style is for girls who have it going on. What fun!

Champagne Tower Set

Did you ever wonder how this was done? As with anything, one has to have the right tools. These ten hand blown coupes are bubbly and cool. It's all about the shape. Just stack them up and pour. These will hold a magnum of champagne. This is how you earn the host with the most title!

John Derian Ring Mugs

Sip your tea in style! Astier de Villatte collaborated with sculptor Serena Carone on these fanciful cups which replace the typical handle with a glittering, bejeweled

“ring.” I'm in love.

The Best Dorm Room Ever

(Via One Kings Lane)

Going off to college is such an exciting and busy time of the year. Now is not too early to start organizing. It's rather a big deal, and that dorm room needs quite a bit of help. It's small, stark and just not inviting. Not exactly your cozy nest at home. But with a few key items and a little creativity, you can turn it into a relaxing retreat. It was fun gathering these things. Aren't they just so coed chic?

Here's How To Deck Your Dorm

Make A Statement With Washi Tape

Who knew that you could have so much fun with tape? It is a must have for decking your boring dorm room. It's temporary, colorful, and easy to handle. Use it on those Cinder block walls, edge the bookshelf, make a design on that ugly floor! You can find a stylish selection at

Huggable Hangers

An absolute must for those tiny dorm room closets! You cannot believe what space savers these hangers are. I use them at home, myself. Available in a variety of colors. Best yet, they are Winter coat strong, and the texture keeps items on the hanger and off the floor!

HSN

Acrylic Shelved Side Table
Lighten up the crowded room with clearly chic pieces like these shelves on wheels. Perfect for a bedside table. It will become home for a lamp, your alarm, books, folders, the iPad etc.

Color Frame Duvet Cover And Shams
A great starting point for a coed's color palette.

Jubilee PJ Set
A girl has to look good when she gets cozy.

Monogram Throw Pillow
For creating her own space
The Zhush

Fabric Memo Board
Postcards and photos from home, concert tickets and "to do" lists. She will know exactly what to do with this.
Overstock

White Washed Ladder
Here's an idea for a room short on floor space. Go up the wall. Use this lovely ladder to dry towels, store pants, hang handbags with hooks, or display magazines.

Peel and Stick Blackboards
This would be a fun and handy addition to any wall at school or home. See a stylish selection of room reminders at

Kate Spade Storage Boxes

Add a real pop of color with these bold and beautiful boxes. It's a 3 piece set that can be used to store shoes, tech cords, pencils and pens, cosmetics and more. I love the idea of hanging them on the wall for a colorful collage of usable storage.
Office Candy

Colorblock Cups and Bowls
With the lack of storage space in a typical dorm room, everyday things like cereal bowls and coffee mugs will be in plain site. At less than $5 a piece, you can afford these pieces to be fun and fashionable while on view.

Lightweight Modular Storage Cubes
Most dorm rooms will give you one chest of drawers to share with your roomie. Extra storage is always needed. This is such a great way to add color and space.
