Cool and versatile layers are all the rage this season, and we just discovered the lightest, airiest pieces that we are dying to add to our wardrobe. The new Korean line Eryn brinié just opened their first U.S. store in SoHo (on Broadway between Spring and Broome), and and it's filled with their fall collection in translucent shades of grey, lavender, mauve and ivory.

The importance of good lighting is often overlooked, but as all good fashionistas, like Cher in Clueless, it's vital that one not stumble into some bad lighting, if it can be helped. And when you have home field advantage, there's no reason whatsoever to have a bad lighting concept. With just a bit of planning, you can get your room to glow.

Domino has five great tips for lighting your home beautifully, and we're including our suggestions on how to best make it happen in the gallery. We'll make sure your lighting concept is hip, flattering, and completely useful!

So, you want to pluck your eyebrows. Good for you. We support that.

Those little hairs are hard to see, and finding the right lighting can be quite the drama. You think you're done, but then you catch yourself in the kitchen mirror and realize that in another light, you're still Frida.

Witness a pair of tweezers with a bright white light built in. Genius!

In the header on Dunderdon's website it says: Work. Wear. That pretty much says it all. Of course we like to say: Work? Where? Then we run like hell in the opposite direction. It's a survival thing.

Dunderdon was created by carpenter Per-Ivan Hagberg and is considered Sweden's most innovative work-wear company.

Their designs are made for the worker, from blue-collar professionals to no-collar creative-types (hey, that's us!), so you know that durability is key, but that doesn't mean they slack on style.

Still waiting on spring to arrive where you are? Got those dreary winter day blues? Maybe the d°light Huggable is the answer you've been looking for. This light-up pillow is inspired by sunlight and designer Diana Lin created it to give people the chance to embrace the essence of the sun in their arms.

The pillow is soft and fuzzy like a pillow should be and it's made out of a unique silicone material that feels almost life-like. It's like your cute new glowing pet!

The d°light Huggable is available in three colors (white, hot pink and gold) and for $160 each, this pillow is a bit of a splurge. But it could make a great gift for lonely urban dwellers with the winter blahs, or maybe a last-ditch effort to sooth the kid who just can't get over their fear of the dark? Either way, it's pretty freakin' cool!

I'll admit, I'm a sucker for novel home decor. Some people collect yard gnomes or weird porcelain figurines, and I lust after kitchy, cute functional pieces that fit my modern design aesthetic.

Like this clothes hanger lamp, for instance. It's not going to change your world, or even revolutionize the way you hang your clothes. It can, however, make your bedroom just a little bit cooler.

For instance, I like to screw a small metal bar into one wall of the bedroom, that lets me hang my favorite shirts out in the open instead of tucked away in my closet. With the clothes hanger, I'd be able to highlight that design choice -- making it fun, instead of merely functional.

The only problem is that the lamps, at $249, aren't exactly within everyone's budget (including mine). But I can't imagine the concept would be that hard to replicate. Just make sure you're using low-watt bulbs. You wouldn't want your DIY design idea to turn your bedroom into a blazing inferno.
