Burberry Border-Striped Scarf

If it didn't have the brand logo embroidered onto one end, you would never know that this Border-Striped Scarf was from Burberry because it is completely devoid of the signature Burberry check. Its design is distinctive, however, and quite elegant in orange and white on lightweight rayon/linen. It should be suitable for all seasons, with the exception of very cold winter nights and match equally well with both jeans and suits. Price: $240.

Diamond Studded Mobile Phone Strap

Diaddict, a designer Japanese brand that specializes in jewelry, has recently come out with a one-of-a-kind, diamond-studded strap for mobile phones. The accessory features a 6.02-carat yellow diamond, as well as 2.1-carats in clear, white diamonds, a .61-ct. blue diamond and a .36-ct. pink diamond. Stunning to look at, it is currently on display at the Takashimaya Co. departments store in Nihombashi, Japan. Its listed price is 100 million yen ($842,000) .

Fedora for Fall

There is something about a fedora that conveys a message that few other things can. An appreciation for the rat pack? Confidence or class? It's hard to pinpoint, but since fedoras can be part of an acceptably stylish look for fall, there is no time like the present to try and add a little of that flair to your wardrobe. This dark brown fedora is from Banana Republic and is a wool blend that will probably help keep you warm in addition to looking good. Price: $58.

Iomoi Paperweights

Paperweights are, unless you work in a wind-tunnel, essentially useless objects in terms of functionality. This is all the more reason that their selection should be based entirely on appearance; their real function is as a sort of desktop art object. The customizable paperweights from iomoi stationery provide you with a huge array of designs to choose from and can be personalized with initials or a few select words. And how can you resist a paperweight with a cute cupcake on it? Price: $65 for round weights, $40 for oval.

Atishoo Handkerchiefs

Atishoo is reviving the handkerchief as a fashion accessory - for women, not men - by promoting their many uses. In their style guide, they make suggestions for using them as accents on handbags or tying them together to form a funky, casual belt. Their handkerchiefs are a collection of brightly printed silk screen printed handkerchiefs made from 100% cotton lawn. They are packaged in specially designed handmade "drawers," which makes them an attractive gift, and are sold in sets of three for $38.

Bottega Veneta iPod Nano Case

Bottega Veneta has recently introduced an iPod Nano case as part of its fall accessories line. It is great that more designers are taking note of the fact that people have more to carry than just a wallet or a cell phone these days, and this case is a perfect example of how to carry the delicate music player with style. The supple leather case comes in multiple colors, including the burnt orange shown here, and has a removable strap that can be used at need, if you prefer to loop you player around your neck than tuck it into a purse or carry it in-hand. Price: $390.

American Express Butterfly Card

American Express has recently introduced Butterfly, for Gold Card holders. The Butterfly card is a foldable credit card that comes in a tiny case. It is completely free and linked back to the main Gold Card account of the Amex holder. The "signature accessory" is intended to give some cache to carrying a Gold Card, but it is also a way to minimize what you carry. American Express points out that it can be used as an accessory or key ring, as a chain or loop can be easily attached to it. It looks much more stylish than just about all other keychain credit cards.

Marc Jacobs Flap Clutch, Handbag of the Day

This clutch is Marc by Marc Jacobs and is just about as summery as a clutch can get. Its bright yellow geometric sunbursts almost make it seem as though you are carrying around a piece of sunshine. The clutch has a flap closure that is secured with two logo-bearing snaps and is made of ultra-soft leather with a twill lining. There is a gusseted interior with six credit card slots, a billfold and zipped pocket, in addition to a flat pocket under the flap and one on the back of the clutch. It is also available in a sliver metallic, which has a red and white sunburst lining. Price: $168.

WMF Espresso for Audi Roadjet

Audi's concept car, the Roadjet, is getting another state-of-the-art optional accessory: an espresso machine. The espresso machine will sit on the central arm rest, between the front driver and passenger seats. It is made by WMF, which stated that the machine is completely automatic and fully functional, ready to deliver coffee at the touch of a button. It does not appear to have a milk frother, though steaming milk is probably a bit dangerous to do in a car, anyway. No pricing yet, but I can imagine that drivers with long commutes would jump at the chance to have this by their side in the early morning.

Rain Dot Umbrella

April showers bring... the need for a new umbrella. How can you worry about May flowers when your hair is getting wet? Umbrellas are a useful tool that we don't give much thought to until caught in a down-pour and I have never had good luck from the $10 variety peddled by street vendors, no matter that they promise it's a real (insert designer name here). This time, I'm planning in advance. I love this Brick Rain Dot Umbrella from the Seattle company Pare Umbrella. It is 3-feet in diameter when opened and has a gorgeous natural rattan hooked handle. Price: $56.

Dior Large Wicker Bag

The Large Wicker Bag is one of the must-have bags for spring. This sweet, woven bag from Dior is made of natural wicker and adorned with colorful raffia flowers. The natural fibers give it a casual edge, while the soft pink leather straps and Dior-detailing, including a fully-lined interior and Dior-engraved silver metal studs, make it luxurious. It is great for pairing with a white spring sundress during the day, or just for accessorizing jeans. Price: $995.
