Who needs jewelry when you're already accessorized? There are a few options out there offering already-tacked on shoulder details, from Altuzarra's statement coat with dangling bits of fur to Urban Outfitters' strategically studded blazer. The look is even simple to DIY - all you need are studs or rhinestones to add your own flair to blazers, cardigans, or a basic t-shirt.

From Left: PLV by Pour La Victoire Oxford Heel Peach $158 @ Urban Outfitters, Pour la Victoire Eden Royal Blue $280 @ Piperlime, Pour la Victoire Eden Punched Open Toe Oxford Grey & Periwinkle $292 @ Shopbop.com

We're not quite sure how or why Urban Outfitters is selling Pour La Victoire's Eden shoe under the label "PLV" for one hundred and twenty dollars below the typical retail price---but stranger things have happened. The description of the shoe is uniform across the sites that carry the brand but the color options and price points are slightly more diverse. Still, we love this shoe for summer in all of its various shades.

Urban Outfitters Launches Into Spring

coutorture — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 12:25:55 -0800

Urban Outfitters Spring Deliveries: Silence & Noise Tidal Bikini Top $48/Bottom $48 (Online Only), Levis 501 Jeans $68, Frye Emily Slingback $228

While year-end sales wind down, Spring and midseason deliveries are picking up steam--Urban Outfitters, thanks to their high turnover, is making the transition a seamless one. The Tidal bikini top, for example, could double as a bra top under those lace or mesh blouses and the 501 jeans, light as they may be, just need a pair of tights underneath and they're ready for winter. Check out the pre-Spring Urban Outfitters look book right here.
