We've been a fan of footwear by Ash for quite a while. And if we're not mistaken, we spotted this pair of Ash high tops on Olga Kurylenko in "Quantum of Solace."

We know all about James Bond's brand preferences: he wears an Omega watch, drinks Bollinger champagne and drives an Aston Martin DBS. But what of the Bond Girls? For years they've been a mystery.

Ha! See what we did there? "Time." Because this post is about watches. We're good, we know.

Super-watch company Swatch has released a line of James Bond villain-themed watches to celebrate the release of the newest 007 flick, Quantum of Solace. The watches range from childishly kooky (like the skull-filled Live And Let Die piece) to delightfully sleek (like the subtly eyepatch-y Thunderball piece). It is also a huge bonus that they aren't blatantly Bond-related; it'd be even better if they got rid of the tiny little "007" emblems though.

As a 00 agent, you've got to remain somewhat detached from you work. You can't get on with your everyday business if you're constant forming emotional attachments with people and causes. Tasks like destroying life and property may get easier with time -- but some of the things you're asked to do as a secret agent no man could ever get over.

For Daniel Craig, that unforgivable sin comes in the form of tearing up his beautiful Tom Ford suits. During the filming of the upcoming 007 thriller, Quantum of Solace, Craig had to destroy 40 of his favorite suits in the world -- and apparently it was weighing heavily on his conscience. According to him, it's a royal bummer: "it makes me weep every time... They are great suits."

I knew he was getting a little attached to the high end menswear a few months ago, but these new reports have really opened my eyes to one of the unseen hardships of making secret agent movies. Destroying even one Tom Ford suit has got to be the fashion equivalent to putting down Old Yeller.

When I first skimmed through and glanced at the information on British designer Jenny Packham, I was interested because she is the deisgner reposnsible for dressing a number of the Bond girls in the 007 series, including the most recent, Casino Royale. I was interested because Bond girls are basically super-models with ninja skills and this designer has obviously done her job. However, when I made it through to Jenny Packham's website, I was more than interested. Her collections are beautiful, glamorous, flowing, and lady-like in a dangerously sexy way. Just like the Bond girls. Of course, I was shaken, not stirred, when I saw her tuxedo for her Fall collection.

If you live in Los Angeles, Jenny Packham's designs can be found at Kitson and H. Lorenzo.

So you weren't quite bikini-ready when summer started, but that's okay because the height of summer is the best time to buy swimsuits on sale, and if you buy now, you still have a good two months to wear it out by the pool.

There's no holster for a gun, but the style is very Ursula Andress with the belted bottom, and the halter style top shows off those sexy (sunless)-tanned shoulders you've been working on up until now.

The bikini is on sale at Victoria's Secret for $36 for both pieces, and the pieces can be bought separately. It also comes in white, aqua, and plum, but it looks the baddest-ass in black. Just like a Bond Girl.
