This isn't quite synesthesia, but being able to see your perfume is still pretty darn cool. This fragrance, Wode by Boudicca, sprays on blue and fades to nothing right before your eyes. We have no idea how it smells, despite our best efforts in repeatedly pressing our noses against our monitors, but the artsiness of it all is enough to make us want to try. We quite like that fancy little spray can it comes in, as well.

All we can think about lately are the chilly days of fall, and we dream about snuggling up in cozy hoodies and lots of layers. We've fallen in love with this one-of-a-kind electric blue hoodie. It's the perfect mix of punk meets modern sporty styling. The artist only creates one of every item she makes, so you're guaranteed to be the only person rocking this eye catching style. If this particular hoodie isn't right for you, other styles are available and custom requests are welcome.

27-year-old St. Louis native Courtney Crawford wants his shoes to be "repulsively attractive" - we wouldn't say that these shoes are"repulsive' but would warn that these shoes are for the, um, bold.

Cute Maddox Jolie-Pitt is probably the most fashion-forward member of the growing brood. He was sporting his trademark mohawk long before Hollywood hipsters decided to bring back the late eighties. In typical "oldest child" style, he continues to lead, this time breaking the color barrier with some blue Manic Panic, hanging with his dad and brother Pax at the Venice Film festival.

There are probably a couple of parents out there thinking, "How can they let him do all of these crazy things? He's seven." But remember, if your mom is Angelina Jolie and your dad is Brad Pitt, you probably have more blackmail material than you know what to do with. Staying up late? Eating cookies? Child's play! For his twelfth birthday Mads will probably get his own Lamborghini, which he'll drive on the private track in the backyard of their mansion.

We love his self-confidence and individual style. Way to rock your own path, little man!

On lasts night's episode of Project Runway, the designers had to create chic outfits that the American Olympic team could proudly strut in during the opening ceremony. Unfortunately, though, it appears that none of them have ever caught a vintage Youtube clip of the ceremony before.

We ran into Robert Burke, a familiar face from the front row, just outside the men's room at a trade show, Blue, this week. The former senior VP at Bergdorf Goodman currently oversees his own, big time consulting company but still manages a type of effortless style.

He's got a summer weight, two-piece suit and skips on a tie to beat the heat. Then, add those signature glasses for a touch of whimsy and a tad of intellectualism. The look is totally soft and approachable, classic and tailored but still relaxed and refined. We're digging what Mr. Burke puts together. Anyone else?

Somehow, designer Andrew Holden resists reading the newest edition of Antenna Magazine that sits in front of him. (The beer belongs to this reporter, yikes!) Maybe it's because the second season, s/s '09, for his own collection, Conference of Birds, is less than an hour away from a runway show. While currently lacking its own website, the video of last season's debut for f/w '08 is just a click away. More on s/s '09 soon.

There is very little more frustrating than getting ready in the morning, running a little bit late, and then falling way behind schedule because you can't seem to get the clasp of your bracelet to catch.

That is Reason #1 we love cuffs. Aside from that, they're big, chunky, and substantial enough to be a real addition to your outfit.

The Stylelist Spring Beauty: Blue Eyeliner post made us pull out the makeup kit, ready to go to town. But to our disappointment, we only found old black, grey and brown liners in there.

Clearly we need to upgrade from the neutrals. We're craving some color!

Eyeliner is one of the easiest, fastest and most versatile ways to brighten up your face and be daring. Go bright, dark, sparkling or smoky. Blue can do it all!

Five great blue liners in the gallery give you a flavor of this sizzling seasonal trend. Let us know if you get the fever for some blue!

Never in a million years did we think we would ever wear something from Tommy Bahama, a brand that we have historically associated with 55 year old wealthy retired men in Orange County whose favorite past time is deep sea fishing (don't ask us how we built that image in our heads - we just did).

However, the Blue Coral dress, though not completely changing our idea, at least gives us a reason to perhaps try Tommy Bahama. The navy blue halter dress has ivory embroidered embellishments at the high waistline (more like the bottom of the bustline), and the hem falls 31" from the natural neckline. We love the femininity of the full skirt and the embroidery detai that are paired with a little bit of a plunging neckline. We like this dress paired with comfortably cute flats for a Sunday afternoon brunching and shopping with Mom and Dad.

The dress is available from Nordstrom for $198.

We love the look of navy blue and white for Spring, and this year, we're seeing a splash of kelly green added to the color duo all over the place to make for a striking threesome. Isaac Mizrahi's Color Block dress really allows the color combination to stand out with a 100% polyester matte jersey color blocked dress. The dress features a high neck, cut away sleeves, a classic long lean silhouette, and the navy blue, contrasting lighter blue, and kelly green. We love this dress for a casual day look with a pair of navy blue ballet flats, or dressed up for a weekend brunch with Mom and Dad with a pair of round-toe navy and white spectator pumps.

The dress is available from Target.com for $29.99.

Looking to switch up your look for spring? Maybe you want to find something a little less heavy than regular black eyeliner? You're in luck -- according to The Budget Fashionista, navy eyeliner is the way to go for spring '08.

Models on the spring runway for Narcisco Rodriguez wore an indigo gel liner because, according to Dick Page (the make up artist responsible), "Navy is more mysterious than basic black."

I don't know about the whole "mysterious" thing, but I do like the look. It's just a bit more exciting, adding a little extra "oomph" to your everyday makeup. Plus, it can make the whites of your eyes look a bit brighter (you know, the blue vs. red rule, like when you wear lipstick with a more bluish tone of red or pink, it makes your teeth look whiter -- same thing, only for your eyes).

The Budget Fashionista recommends the L'Oreal HIP Navy Eye Liner Pencil for $8, but I'm sure your favorite makeup brand has their own. Give it a try!

Just in case you weren't satisfied with the wide array of color contacts out there, either because you don't feel like they look natural or because of those silly instructions telling you to take them out once in a while, you'll be glad to know that you might have an option. A Toronto man nicknamed Pauly Unstoppable (of course) got an eyeball tattoo. Say it with me: EEEEWWWWW!!!!

Over 40 injections were made into the man's eyeball in order to turn it blue. Not just the iris -- the whole thing. The procedure was entirely experimental (and GROSS), and Mr. Unstoppable made a point to say that this was something and his tattoo artist had researched, and that nobody should try this until he finds out whether it will make him go blind or not.

Fantastic. Hope those blue (eye)balls are worth it, man.

The weather is forcing me to wear my brown, flat-heel boots all the time, and it's kind of depressing me. It's not that I don't love my boots, but after wearing them five days in a row, my feet, and my daily look, is ready for a change.

Isabella Fiore's Clarity Pumps are just the change in color and attitude we need as we end out January. Not only is is a smashing teal-colored grained calfskin, but it features a shimmering metallic gold stripe and sparkling art deco inspired jewel accents. The heels are only 3½", so that's a nice way to ease back up from a flat-heeled boot.
