Some of the outfits we see on the runway during fashion week are totally outlandish and unnatural. Or so you might think.

Over at Lemondrop, the new AOL site for women, they have an amazing gallery that pairs wild runway with the wild kingdom. It turns out all those designers are just visiting the zoo or watching a lot National Geographic documentaries.

Birds, lizards, snakes and aquatic life come in some pretty wild shapes and colors...which is not to say we want to turn them into hats, shoes or bags. But we wouldn't turn our noses up at some of the "inspired by" fashions in the gallery. That gold ram headdress is perfect for a cocktail we're going to next week!

We're a sucker for two things: sunglasses and unusual watches. Nooka is a boutique design company that specializes in really smart-looking watches with funky digital layouts. Instead of the same old four-digit readout, their watches tell time in hour dots, dashes and status bars -- what a contemporary way to know when an hour has finished downloading.


We've got no problem with the old school watch face, but we think it's time for a new and slightly more intuitive way to tell time. Plus, we just like stuff that puts style before convention. Nooka's watches look like some kind of super trendy line from Tokyo that you can't find in the States, but Nooka's actually the brainchild of New York designer Matthew Waldmen. Still, they're not available in many stores, so your best bet is to pick one up on their website or Elsewares.

Her new clothing line Bindi Wear International, which she started with her mom Terri, features slogans coined by Bindi as well as colors that she helped pick out, much of the work being done during her lunch breaks at school.


I can't believe I wasted my lunch breaks eating. I could have been somebody.

If you think this is it for Bindi, you're sadly mistaken.

"Hopefully maybe I can be president or prime minister."

"In America they are looking for the next president and I've listened to everybody and, nothing against them, but they are talking about jobs, houses, developments, money, money and more money and there is nothing about conservation.

"I haven't heard anything about that. "We really do need to start doing something - we can't eat money in the long run."

She's right. I swallowed a nickel once and it wasn't good,
