Though some of these fashions could also work in the warmer months, they are definitely must-haves for colder weather. Here are some of my favorite crochet-inspired looks.

Shu Uemura

Shu Uemura's Shu Project

Chic beauty brand Shu Uemura has just released four limited-edition bottles of its renowned cleansing oils. Each package is decorated with a different piece of colorful, sleek artwork by Brooklyn-based artist John Tremblay. Called the Shu Project by J.T., the designs include a psychedelic look for Classic Oil, an earthy, clean bottle for Premium Oil, an edgy pink design for Fresh Oil, and a flashy orange label for Enriched Oil.

Not only do these oils work great to remove makeup and other pore-clogging dirt, but the bottles also make great counter-top accessories. Plus, some proceeds from the line will be donated to RxArt, a charity dedicated to art healing. The oils range in price from $60 to $70 and are available here.

Miu Miu also makes a similar and even more stunning version that uses decorative red silk for $760. Either way, this design really is a work of art, even if it isn't the most practical shoe to tromp around town in. What do you guys think: Love it or hate it? The black version is available for $635 here.
