We've never been particularly graceful, so we generally steer clear of jewelry that can't handle being roughed up. But we might be persuaded tocan put our bull-in-a-china-shop tendencies on check considering how beautiful these porcelain pieces are. A collaboration between porcelain manufacturers Nymphenburg and jewelers Ted Muehling and Patrik Muff, the collection is based on a tradition that has its roots in the 18th century when ladies would exchange small porcelain trinkets as a sign of mutual respect. Muehling and Muff put a modern spin on this age-old custom, turning out organic seed-pod pendants, gothic skulls, and sculpted angel wings. Pick up your own porcelain trinket at Tomas Maier.

Reach Everything On The Tallest Shelf With Casadei's Sky High Platforms When it comes to our credentials for statement shoes, our list is molto semplice: a big beautiful platform toe and an even bigger sculpted heel. Italian designer Casadei perfected our ideal sky-high shoe cravings in the spring '10 collection with colorful platforms that are cartoons come that to life and rope-woven sandals with some serious lift. Staying true to form, Casadei never disappoints us when it comes to shoes that really hit the high notes.

Girls and guys, get ready to rumble. RumbaTime is a new watch company selling streamlined, silicon watches in a rainbow of colorful hues from a pale lavender to a candy-apple red. Started by three college buddies Drew Deters, Jay Hartington, and Joe Anto, the watch fits the lifestyle of those who prefer the active outdoors as well as seasoned Manhattanites. For vendors wishing to carry them, they will also donate a number of watches to that retailer's charity of choice. As Jay says, "With our watch, checking the time becomes a reminder to lighten up, have some fun, and focus on what's truly important." And did we mention they're only $20 each? We'll take two, please!

When we buy shoes, we'll actually wear them, which means that the lifespan of our spindly stilettos doesn't justify their pricetag. Wedges and heavy-duty boots are our footwear of choice, and Swedish label Minimarket stocks some of the best options out there. Their spring '10 collection doesn't disappoint! There's a terribly chic cap-toed boot with a wooden platform (it comes in a more understated blacked-out version, too), a cobalt version of their classic back-zip wedge...and don't get us started on those tan lace-ups. We dare you to find us a sleeker, more practical shoe. And if shoes aren't your thing, they've got a covetable collection of sunglasses and purses‐including patent and suede wristlets and studded caps that are nearly too sweet for words.

Catching a flash of a leopard boot and football-shaped baguette last season was enough to have us sitting on the edges of our proverbial seats in anticipation for high-res images of Alexander Wang's spring 2010 collection. After all, the mop-topped charmer's accessories are on a winning streak, with every one of his studded, embossed, and cracked leather goodies selling out faster than you can say "How much for these?". But that was last season during the heyday of the tough-as-nails trend, and as the spikes-'n'-chains thing fizzes out, we were worried that Alex might not be able to play catch-up quickly enough. But, from these product shots, we really had nothing to be concerned about, with playful heels with an athletic kick, a graphic update on the Coco bag, and that leather clutch that you might want to think twice about hiking down the end zone.
