The best, most stylish planting pots online?

I'm looking to outfit an apartment window garden with some kick-ass pots of various sizes and shapes. Where's the best online retailer of not-plastic, not-boring brown, pots and gardening containers? Bonus if they sell supplies like potting soil and live plants and seeds.

Check these out. Pricey, but swell. The recycled material planters are plastic, but man, they look nice, feel nice, and are easy to assemble.

Head planters are so cool! The page I linked to seems to be sold out of a few of the styles, but it gives you the idea. I have seen them on ebay, but have not personally purchased any (unable to recommend sellers). Pinterest photos of several more ideas and sources. The plants usually used in these planters are succulents.

They are almost carefree and propagate easily. I brought home a ghost plant sedum via my car several weeks ago. I happen to notice yesterday a plant growing in the seat belt housing on the passenger side of the car. Apparently a leaf had fallen and was starting a new plant.

I'll send you a few leaves from my various succulents. String of pearls is an interesting one.

If I could order gardening stuff from anywhere it'd probably be from Terrain. Also, their sister company, Anthropologie has a seasonal gardening section that's pretty awesome and meets all of your pot requirements.

West Elm has some interesting planters.

Hanging planters

Planters from Atelier Stella. They're sold out right now but will be back in stock next week.

Some of the ones at Gardener's Supply are pretty, and even more importantly, many have some kind of water reservoirs (self-watering). That's important if you want your plants to survive 'til fall.
